Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingsarbetet har spridning av förorenad jord till följd av jordskred till ytvatten studerats genom att sammankoppla faran för miljö och hälsa från förorenad mark med faran för skred. Skredriskbedömningar görs på många håll runt om i världen, likaså riskbedömning av förorenad jord, dock görs dessa helt separerade från varandra och det finns därför väldigt lite inLandslide risk assessments and environmental risk assessments are routinely carried out in many countries exposed to landslide hazards and/or contaminated soil hazards, but separately from each other. By combining results from different types of risk assessments and superimposing the results, possible multi-hazards may be revealed, which is not the case when the results are only displayed independ

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. In order to improve the diagnostics and facilitate early interventions of cardiovascular diseases, knowledge about the physiology of the vascular system in both healthy subjects and in subjects with vascular disease is needed. In order to learn more about the physiology of the vascular system and possibly predict cardiovascular dise

This thesis presents experimental investigations of local heat transfer and detailed flow measurements in ribbed rectangular ducts and impinging jets. The advanced measurement methods, Liquid Crystal Thermography (LCT) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) are adopted to provide full field characteristics. The work consists of two parts, regarding rib-roughened rectangular ducts and impinging slot

On 25 May 1993, the United Nation Security Council took the extraordinary and unprecedented step to establish the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) as means for restoration and maintenance of international peace and security. This was a major event for the all those who are concerned about serious breaches of international humanitarian law and the introduction of law

Konsumtion av rättigheter är en mycket viktig princip för den fria rörligheten för varor och även för en fungerande marknadsekonomi. Konsumtion innebär att immateriella rättigheter i ett fysiskt exemplar konsumeras vid en överlåtelse av äganderätten till exemplaret som innehåller eller bär på rättigheten. I många jurisdiktioner är principens olika rekvisit ännu inte klarlagda. Amerikanska Federal Exhaustion of rights is of critical importance for the free transfer of goods and as such, the functioning of any market economy. Exhaustion of rights is the consumption of rights in intellectual property subject matter as a consequence of the legitimate transfer of title in the tangible article that incorporates or bears the intellectual property in question. The principles of the exhaustion doct

Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Småvatten i form av dammar och våtmarker har en viktig funktion i både den terrestra och akvatiska miljön. De fungerar till exempel som buffert för näringsämnen från att flöda ut i havet och dem ökar den biologiska mångfalden bland växter och djur. De flesta antropogena småvattnen har sitt ursprung från 1800-talet och 1900-talets början, då näringsrik märgelleraSmall water bodies in the shape of ponds and wetlands have an important function in both the terrestrial and the aquatic environment. They serve as a buffer to prevent rash out-flow of nutrients into the oceans and they maintain biological diversity for plants and animals. Most anthropogenic small waters originated in the 19th century and beginning of 20th century. During this time, good fertilizi

This thesis studies the very cornerstone of the international refugee law-the principle of non-refoulement. Since its introduction in the 1951 Convention, this principle has played a key role in the protection of refugees. Last 50 years have generated many questions and various interpretations of the scope of the Article 33 of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees. States have tried to get

This thesis deals with the development of the EU asylum law and policy with focus on the role of burden-sharing and temporary protection. The Geneva Convention is the legal framework for community action. This is laid down by Article 63.1 of the EC Treaty. Article 63 does not only refer to the Geneva Convention, but also to other relevant Human Rights Treaties such as the 1948 Universal Declaratio

Forests are an important component in the framework of nature-based solutions for mitigating climate change. However, there are still uncertainties about the biogeophysical effects of forest cover changes affecting heat and water fluxes as captured by Earth System Models (ESMs) simulations and observations. In this study, we investigate the differences in the surface temperature response to ideali

Popular Abstract in Swedish Oxytocin-stresstestet (OST) introducerades för mer än 30 år sedan som ett kliniskt test att bedöma moderkakans reservkapacitet att tillgodose fostrets behov av syre. Vid ett OST framkallas med hjälp av oxytocininfusion ett regelbundet ”värkarbete” i avsikt att imitera värkarbetet under förlossningen.

Uterine artery, fetal UA, middle cerebral artery (MCA), and venous blood flow changes during uterine contractions during an oxytocin challenge test (OCT) have not been observed systemically. AIMS: To evaluate outcome in IUGR with UA blood flow chang

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling har den Nya Ekonomiska Geografin, ett mycket snabbt växande forskningsområde inom internationell ekonomi, som utgångspunkt. Avhandlingen består av fyra kapitel; det första är ett introduktionskapitel och de tre följande är teoretiska studier. Avhandlingen kan sammanfattas som följer. I kapitel ett ges en introduktion till forskningsfältet. Det nyspiranThe point of departure of this thesis is the rapidly growing research field known as the New Economic Geography (NEG). It consists of four chapters, one introductory chapter and three self-contained theoretical studies. The chapters may be summarised as follows. The first chapter gives a brief account of the NEG. It explains the soaring interest in the location of economic activity, and it review

Recent investigations of the DNA interactions with cationic surfactants and catanionic Mixtures are reviewed. Several techniques have been used such as fluorescence microscopy, dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, and Monte Carlo simulations. The conformational behaviour of large DNA molecules in the presence of cationic surfactant was followed by fluorescence microscopy and also by dyna

Infatuation and love are two words associated with marriage, but from a historical perspective marriage has nothing to do with love. Marriage has been regulated by both religious and secular rules since medieval times. At first marriage was most common in wealthy families but with the involvement of the church marriage became a sacrament and something every good Christian had to commit to unless t

Att Sverige har problem med långa häktningstider är allvarligt med tanke på häktningens karaktär som det mest ingripande av alla tvångsmedel. En av orsakerna till de långa häktningstiderna är att det ofta tar lång tid att får analyssvaren från de kriminaltekniska undersökningarna. Det är vanligt förekommande att åklagaren behöver begära att en misstänkte ska kvarbli i häkte med hänvisning till attThe length if detention periods in Sweden is a serious issue due to detention being the most intrusive of all coercive measures. One of the reasons behind long detention periods is that forensic investigations often are delayed. It is common that the prosecutor has to request continued detention because of forensic investigations not being completed. This essay investigated the questions of to wha

Matsvinn är ett enormt miljömässigt, socialt och ekonomiskt problem. För att förebygga matsvinn har EU och FN uppmuntrat matvaruaffärer att donera ätbara livsmedel, som de av någon anledning inte vill sälja, istället för att slänga dem. Livsmedelslagstiftningen ställer dock till med problem. Särskilt den otydliga regleringen på området, ansvarsregler och skattebestämmelser avskräcker företag fråFood waste is a significant environmental, social and economic problem. In order to prevent food waste, both the EU and UN have encouraged grocery stores to donate rather than waste edible foodstuffs that are unable to be sold. However, the foodstuff legislation causes problems. Especially the ambiguous regulations, liability legislation and tax legislation discourage companies from donating foo

Kvävereningen på Svedala avloppsreningsverk har under perioder varit ansträngd och Svedala kommun frågade sig därför vad som kunde göras för att förbättra kvävereningen så att kvävereningskravet på 10 mg/l kväve klaras till 2030 då ytterligare 3000 personer förväntas vara anslutna. En utredning startades därför för att identifiera vad som begränsar kvävereningen samt lösningar för att förbättra kvThe nitrogen effluent at Svedala wastewater treatment plant has under periods been high, and the municipality of Svedala therefore wanted to know what could be done to improve the nitrogen removal, so that the nitrogen effluent limit of 10 mg/l could be managed until 2030, when another 3000 persons are expected to be connected to the wastewater treatment plant. An investigation was therefore start

Denna uppsats behandlar anställnings- och diskrimineringsskyddet för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning i en uppsägningssituation. Skydd för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning finns i såväl arbetsrätten som i diskrimineringsrätten. I LAS (Lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd) finns regler som begränsar en arbetsgivares möjlighet att säga upp sina arbetstagare. För att en uppsägning ska vara fThis thesis examines the employment protection and the protection against discrimination for a disabled person facing dismissal. Legal protection for disabled employees can be found both in labour law and in anti-discrimination law. The Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80) contains paragraphs that limit employer’s possibilities to dismiss his or her employees. A valid dismissal according to th

Background: Maternal mortality is still a key issue in public health. Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the main direct causes of maternal mortality in many countries around the world, including Kyrgyzstan where approximately half of all maternal deaths are due to this complication. Maternal mortality caused by PPH can be prevented through cost-effective interventions including active managem
