Background: Data from 1998 showed that CT represents about 10% of all the diagnostic X-ray examinations and almost 70% of the total radiation dose from medical diagnostic examinations in Sweden. Because of this there is a strong need to minimize the radiation dose and adapt the dose to each patient’s examination area and anatomy. Today practically all-modern CT systems are delivered with automatic

Tidigare forskning har visat att patienter inom psykiatrin är föremål för kränkande behandling och oetiskt bemötande från personalen, där stigmatisering av psykisk sjukdom ses som en bidragande faktor. Föreliggande studie ämnade att undersöka bemötandebrister inom den svenska vuxenpsykiatrin. Syftet var att identifiera riskfaktorer för kränkande behandling och olika former av oetiskt bemötande av

In this study I have adressed the topic of citizen dialogue on the social network Facebook. I have conducted a study of how the city of Helsingborg use their Facebook page to communicate with the citizens and how they relate to the different rules, guidelines and policies that exist about dialogue and communication with the citizens on social media. The result of the study has shown that the city

Denna studie avser att undersöka hur det formella ansvaret är definierat i olika styrdo-kument från statlignivå ner på kommunalnivå när det kommer till frågan om mäns våld mot kvinnor och det sker efter att de blivit utsatta. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ text-analys. Undersökningen undersöker om termen ansvar är definierad i flertalet statliga dokument som handlar om mäns våld mot kvinnor samt

This paper attempts to explain the construction of a newly developed genre that researchers believe is an epidemic on the digital horizon called revenge porn. The study examines patterns of language and hatred related to revenge porn as well as women as victims. The study examine how their life’s has been affected as a di-rect result of publications of photographs or videos of sexual nature. Our t

Background: Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The information obtained enables the investigation and discovery of genes encoding proteins involved in plant cell wall degradation, which are crucial for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass in second-generation biorefinery applications. T

Pilot-scale tests were run with ozonation for reduction of 24 pharmaceuticals at 10 full-scale wastewater treatment plants in southern Sweden. Reduction was evaluated based on doses of 3, 5 and 7 g O3/m3 at all plants. The reduction of pharmaceuticals reached on average 65% at 3 g O3/m3, 78% at 5 g O3/m3 and 88% for 7 g O3/m3 in terms of total concentration of pharmaceuticals. Specific ozone dose

Background: A dysfunctional use of coping strategies has repeatedly been linked to suicidal behaviour in non-psychiatric populations. However, data regarding association between coping strategies and suicidal behaviour in psychiatric populations are limited. Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the possible relationship between self-reported suicide risk, suicidal ideation and coping stra

Background. Traditional crash-based analysis of road safety at individual sites has its shortcomings due to low numbers and the random nature of crashes at individual sites and the related statistical issues, as well as the under-reporting of crashes and lack of information on contributing factors and the process preceding crashes. To get around the problem, road safety analysis based on surrogateAbstract Background.

The aim of this paper is to critically analyse so-called ‘successful’ low-carbon energy transitions under the energy justice magnifying glass. We focus on two case studies that have been arguably referred to as successful local energy transitions in the literature: Samsø (Denmark) and Feldheim (Germany). The study examines community perspectives and causal inferences about perceived energy (in)jus

Denna studie syftar till att preliminärt utvärdera förändringar i risken för cyanobakteriella blomningar i en eutrof sjö, Vombsjön, som ligger i södra Sverige och testa hur näringsämnen (fosfor och kväve) påverkar algväxten. Ytvatten som sjöar har stor betydelse för dricksvattenförsörjningen, till exempel hälften av dricksvattnet i Sverige är från ytvatten. Enligt riskmatrisen har Vombsjön en storThis study aims to preliminarily evaluate changes in the risk of cyanobacterial blooms in a eutrophic lake, Lake Vombsjön, in the southern Sweden and test the role of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in algae formation. Surface water such as lakes service great importance for drinking water supply, such as half of the drinking water in Sweden is from surface water. According to risk matrix, Lak

Sustainable groundwater resources management in arid areas requires early and immediate action to prevent further negative impacts on these resources. The persistent decline in the quantity and quality of groundwater in many countries has been leading to severe challenges in the present and future. In this research, the factors affecting groundwater salinization in a coastal aquifer were evaluated

This chapter provides a high-level summary of the state of knowledge regarding observations, processes and models of climate, terrestrial ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. We focus strongly on observations (at various timescales, including palaeo timescales as appropriate), and what can be learned from their interpretation in the light of the established principles of climate science and ter
