Människans påverkan på jordens klimat är tydlig. Ökande halter av koldioxid i atmosfären leder till en global uppvärmning. Haven arbetar emot klimatförändringarna genom att ta upp en stor del av överskottsenergin och koldioxid som ökat på jorden till följd av mänskliga koldioxidutsläpp. Den globala kolbudgeten undersöker hur vårt utsläpp av koldioxid fördelas runt om på jorden, mellan haven, atmosThe rising amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an environmental problem. The temperature of the Earth is rising as a result of the large quantities of greenhouse gas emissions. The oceans absorb a lot of the excess heat energy trapped on Earth due to the positive radiative forcing of the substances, which results in the warming of the oceans as well as the land surfaces. The ocean also p

Validation of gene × environment interaction results from epidemiological studies in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is usually hampered by insufficient statistical power. Genotype-based recall (GBR) refers to the design of studies in which subgroups of the population are selected based on their genotypes. In this thesis we test if a GBR approach of recruiting two groups of participants with dis

Populariteten för släktforskning har vuxit under dom senaste åren. Detta beror framför allt på att det blivit avsevärt enklare genom internets framfart. Idag kan privat personer bedriva släktforskning hemifrån då man tidigare behövde hjälp från arkivister och professionella släktforskare. Då stora mängder släktdata har digitaliserats och lagts ut på nätet genom olika internationella företag och idAssociation for computer aided genealogy research of Sweden(DIS) is investigating the possibility of a nationwide genealogical database (RGD) of Sweden's historical population. The finished database should contain basic information about individuals' names, birth, marriage, death, and individuals' relationships such as father, mother, husband/wife and children. This will make up a kind

”Now, we become just as sporadic participants” A qualitative study experience of individual counselor’s facility A counselor at a hospital is a person who is working with the mental health of the patients. Due to today’s fast-pace society stress and other mental health problems has become more and more common which has led to a higher demand of counselor workers. Alongside the practical counseli

The end of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development in the present year marked a scenario to evaluate the achievement made among nations. However the success of implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not equal as well the information available on the subject depens on the country. The aim of the thesis is to deliver a current status and recommendations for impr

Context Background Globalisation, increasing product complexity, volatile demand, and financial crisis all put strains on the supply, processing, and distribution of goods. That’s why supply chain management has become the area to focus on to gain competitive advantages and reduce costs. Saint-Gobain Sekurit Scandinavia (SGSS) is part of a large global French enterprise, Saint-Gobain that’s a worl

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is the vital and basic part of construction digitizing hospital. However the systems are well-known for their interoperability problems and a Swedish evaluation from 2010 concluded it to be the most frequent obstacle in workflow. We then wondered what techniques the organizations used to solve the problem to understand if the organizations use the right solution to

Authors: Elin Copcutt and Jessica Holst Title: Stress eller kontroll? – En kvalitativ studie om socialsekreterarens syn på sin yrkesroll. Supervisor: Carina Tigervall This paper examines how six social workers from four local authority social services departments in the south of Sweden find their work situation. The idea for the subject matter came from the media where social workers often are

The hydropower plant at upper Finsjö is situated in the south-eastern part of Sweden. It is owned and operated by E.ON Vattenkraft Sverige AB. The dams are built in the beginning of the 20th century and regarding the safety of the dams they are in need of repairs. As an alternative, E.ON wants to investigate the possibility of building a new dam further downstream of the existing ones and thus mak

Two major debates frame Arctic prehistory: the emergence of specialized maritime economies that support sedentism and growing socio-political complexity, and the role of these economies in the transition from Paleo-Inuit to Neo-Inuit traditions. This shift, originating in the Bering Strait, led to Thule Inuit dispersal across the Arctic, impacting Indigenous communities today. However, understandi

Chronic breathlessness is a common and distressing symptom, negatively impacting physical function and quality of life. Many individuals presenting with chronic breathlessness wait years for an explanatory diagnosis, leading to delays in accessing effective treatments and worse individual outcomes including premature mortality. In addition, delays to diagnosis are associated with increased healthc

Introduction Current methods to measure the effectiveness of pancreatic protease activity are inadequate. We explored the measurement of peptide-derived amino acids following ingestion of dietary whey substrate as a sensitive test of exogenous protease activity in exocrine pancreatic insufficient (EPI) pigs. Methods We studied the activity of aspergillus protease given in combination with a novel

The biochemical composition and functions of non-sexual organs in male and female must be adjusted to support the distinct reproductive purposes of their sexual organs. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of nutrients, as well as the metabolism of orally administered drugs. We utilized an in-depth proteomics approach to determine the molecular basis

Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t

In an efficient market, assets reflect all available information. Hence, investors cannot earn abnormal returns by conducting fundamental analysis since all financial data is impounded in the asset. The only way for an investor to earn higher returns is by incurring increased risk. However, a growing body of evidence appears to contradict market efficiency and common notion of risk compensation. P

Vid marktekniska undersökningar i finkorniga jordar är det av stor vikt att korrekt kunna bestämma den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten. Detta görs idag vanligtvis ute i fält med en uppsjö av sonderingsmetoder som ger olika mått på hur fast jorden är. För homogena leror och sand finns det en stadig empirisk grund för hur dessa sonderingsparametrar räknas om till odränerad skjuvhållfasthet, men hur seThe undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). The CPT does not measure the undrained shear strength directly, but instead the resistance that a conic probe encounters as it is pushed into the ground. A calibration factor, the cone factor (Nkt

Mjölk. Vad ser du framför dig när du läser ordet mjölk? Är det ett glas mjölk till skollunchen som barn, öppna gröna fält med betande kor eller kanske en jordgubbstårta på ett födelsedagskalas? Vilken bild du än får i huvudet så är mjölk för många en naturlig del av uppväxten med minnen som går så långt bak i tiden man kan minnas. Det är först på senare tid som mjölkkonsumtionen har börjat ifrågasSweden has for the last half-century had a very high consumption of dairy products compared to other European countries. This high demand in cow’s milk puts a lot of pressure on the dairy industry which requires a high amount of feed, water and energy to produce dairy products. These factors combined with the rumination that occurs when cows eat is the origin of the release of greenhouse gases (GH

The purpose of this case study is to identify the driving forces that motivated various companies to implement sustainable water management (SWM) voluntary initiatives in four Latin American countries: Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil. Additionally, the case study explores opportunities on how strategic stakeholders, such as government institutions, NGOs, IGOs, financing institutions, and the
