Studiens syfte är att utvidga kunskapen om berggrunden på södra Gotlands och koppla det till den ansträngda grundvattensituation i området. Materialet till studien kommer från Sveriges geologiska undersök-ning (SGU) som utfört geofysiska borrhålsmätningar och flygburna resistivitetsmätningar (SkyTEM) och från Olje-prospekterings AB (OPAB) som på 70- och 80-talet gjorde borrningar på Gotland i syftThis study aims to expand the knowledge about the bedrock in southern Gotland and link it to the strained groundwater situation that is there. The material for the study comes from the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU) which conducted geophysical borehole measurements and airborne resistivity measurements (SkyTEM) and from OPAB, which in the 70’s and 80’s drilled several wells on Gotland for the pur

Mesh networks are highly relevant and interesting today considering all the connected devices that exists. These devices often aim to have low power consumption to be able to be powered by smaller power sources such as solar cells or batteries. The hardware used by mesh networks often has the same purpose, to minimize power consumption. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an increased underst

I sexualbrottmål består inte sällan bevisningen i huvudsak av målsägandens utsaga och det är därför den som blir central vid bevisvärderingen. En bedömning av en utsaga är i sig komplex, men försvåras ytterligare när målsäganden är ett barn. För att säkerställa materiellt korrekta domar bör faktorerna som beaktas vid bevisvärderingen av en utsaga i största möjliga mån bygga på antaganden med stöd In cases regarding sexual offenses, the evidence often consists essentially of the victim’s testimony, which is why it becomes the main focus in the evaluation of evidence. An assessment of a testimony is in itself complex, but gets further complicated when the victim is a child. In order to ensure accurate judgments, the factors to be taken into consideration in the evaluation of evidence should,

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda umgängessabotage i relation till barnets bästa. Ämnet är aktuellt då antalet vårdnadstvister ökar. Dessutom finns det behov av att utreda frågan då barn i större utsträckning ses som individer med egna rättigheter och intressen. En sådan utveckling kan ses utifrån ändringen i FB år 2006 samt inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § FB ska baThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate visitation interference in relation to the child’s best interests. The topic is relevant as the number of custody disputes in Sweden has increased. In addition, there is a need to investigate the question because children are more widely regarded as individuals with their own rights and interests. Such development can be seen from the change in FB in 20

This Master’s Thesis, under the Division of Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology, was conducted at Presona AB located in Tomelilla, Sweden during the first half of 2006. Presona AB is a leading manufacturer of equipment for handling and compression of waste. The object of the thesis is to reduce the manufacturing cost of Presona’s heavy duty stationary compactor. This is acquired by rede

From the network layer perspective, the problem of burst losses is one of the most challenging problems which restrain the development of optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Indeed, OBS is a buffer-less technology and the consequent lack of guarantees for data delivery may affect significantly the quality of service (QoS) perceived by end users. To overcome these obstacles, dedicated network m

Enriched environment significantly enhances postischemic functional outcome. We have tested the hypothesis that housing in enriched environment stimulates gene expression for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. After ligation of the middle cerebral artery in male spontaneously hypertensive rats, they were housed in individual cages for 30h, then housed either in standard cages or in an enriched env

Objective: Cryptorchidism is a common congenital genito-urological anomali in males with increased risk of infertility and testicular cancer. In this retrospective study the results of operations for undescended testis at Landspitalinn University Hospital were reviewed with special emphasis on patients diagnosed with testicular cancer later in life. Material and methods: The study includes 593 mal

Purpose – To identify and describe the strategic potential of logistics-driven packaging innovation in retail supply chains, and suggest propositions for further research and development, providing practitioners with a better basis on which to make strategic packaging and logistics decisions. Design/methodology/approach – An in-depth case study was conducted at a large global retailer which had im

We applied a hybrid approach to estimate the benchmark dose (BMD) and the lower 95% confidence limit (BMDL) for cadmium-induced bone effects in a population with low environmental exposure. Morning urine samples were collected by 794 Swedish women, aged 53-64 years, participating in a population-based study We measured urinary cadmium (U-Cd), a marker of long-term exposure, and bone mineral densit

The aim of this was to determine whether the change of size observed at the first response evaluation after initiation of first-line combination chemotherapy correlates with overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The change in size of tumors derived from measurements according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) at the first evaluation on comput

The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio

Bakgrund: Kritisk sjukdom kan definieras som ett tillstånd av svikt i vitala parametrar, vilket ökar risken för oplanerad inläggning på intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA), intrahospitalt hjärtstopp samt död. På vårdavdelning används idag ett standardiserat bedömningsverktyg, National Early Warning Score (NEWS), för att bedöma vitala parametrar. Vid höga NEWS-poäng bör en mobil intensivvårdsgrupp (MIG) k

Skuldsaneringsinstitutet kom till för att hjälpa överskuldsatta människor att lösa sina ekonomiska problem när det till synes inte fanns någon annan utväg. Den första svenska skuldsaneringslagen tillkom år 1994 för att möta de behov som bankkrisen under början av 1990-talet hade skapat. Efter det har skuldsaneringsförfarandet utvecklats och förenklats, och förra året kom den tredje versionen av skThe institute of debt reconstruction was founded as a last resort to help people who are heavily in debt to get their finances in order. The first law of debt reconstruction was founded in 1994 to meet the needs created by the banking crisis in the early 1990’s. After that the debt reconstruction procedure has evolved and simplified, and last year came the third version of the law of debt reconstr

During travels, people want to be able to move fast and smooth from point A to point B. Thereby, many people can relate to the struggles which occur when carrying several belongings simultaneously. This master’s thesis was performed in collaboration with Thule Sweden AB and the purpose was to develop a design concept which would make it easier to travel with a wheeled luggage in combination with

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to increase understanding of the use of standards and modularity for improving responsiveness in the humanitarian context. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a conceptual framework and a systematic literature review, the authors conducted a longitudinal, explorative case on the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) concept in the International Federation of Red C
