Terahertz (THz) technologies provide opportunities ranging from calibration targets for satellites and telescopes to communication devices and biomedical imaging systems. A main component will be broadband THz absorbers with switchability. However, optically switchable materials in THz are scarce and their modulation is mostly available at narrow bandwidths. Realizing materials with large and broa
Cows produce saliva in very large quantities to lubricate and facilitate food processing. Estimates indicate an amount of 50–150 L per day. Human saliva has previously been found to contain numerous antibacterial components, such as lysozyme, histatins, members of the S-100 family and lactoferrin, to limit pathogen colonization. Cows depend on a complex microbial community in their digestive syste
Bipolar membrane electrodialysis (EDBM) can be applied for the electro-acidification of skim milk (SM) using a water-splitting effect. A new method of SM acidification gives opportunities and perspectives to the development of alternative and novel products in the dairy industry. The present study assessed the effect of temperatures from 5 °C to 30 °C of EDBM on the electro-acidification of SM in
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stroke genetic research has made substantial progress in the past decade. Its recovery application, however, remains behind, in part due to its reliance on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score as a measure of poststroke outcome. The mRS does not map well to biological processes because numerous psychosocial factors drive much of what the mRS captures. Second, the mRS co
Alma Engstedt En våtmark i Skåne under november Många våtmarker har anlagts de sista 20 åren för att försöka fånga upp de mängder kväve och fosfor som sköljs ut från åkermark och tar sig vidare ut i Östersjön där de orsakar övergödning och andra miljöproblem. Det är intressant att ta reda på hur väl de fungerar och hur det kan variera under olika årstider. Vintern är inte den bästa tiden för aA small pond situated south of Helsingborg was studied between November 7th and December 1st 2003, in order to determine the transport and retention of nitrogen and phosphorus during the autumn-winter conditions of high water discharge. Two methods of water sampling were used. One based on random sampling and the other using an automatic sampler i.e. a pump with continuous sampling. Mass balance c
Kol har lagrats is torvmarker i tusentals år och idag innehåller torvmarkerna ca en tredjedel av all markkol på jorden. Det råder stor osäkerhet hur torvmarker kommer att reagera på klimatförändringar. Detta beror på att de kalla, blöta och syrefattiga förhållandena leder till motsatta effekter för global uppvärmning; dels lagras koldioxid eftersom fotosyntesen är större än respirationen (kylande Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. This is because the cold, wet and anaerobic conditions lead to two opposing forces from a radiative forcing perspective – CO2 sequestration from photosynthesis b
I denna uppsats ser vi vad som händer när en statlig myndighet som ansvarar för utformning av offentlig miljö implementerar en så kallad liberal demokratiteori. Statens konstråd, som är en myndighet med stor inverkan på den offentliga konsten i Sverige, inledde 2012 ett nytt arbetssätt att föra ut konceptuell och samtida konst från institutioner och gallerier till det offentliga rummet. Deras syn In this essay we see what happens when a government authority which is responsible for designing public space implements a so-called liberal democracy theory. The public art agency of Sweden, a government authority with a big impact on the public art in Sweden, started in 2012 a new approach to bring out conceptual, and contemporary art to the public realm. Their view on art is that it should ques
A proteomic approach to study the molecular processes of a novel putative zinc binding protein in erythropoiesis We have around 6 liters of blood in our body: each of them contain around 6 billion red blood cells, which travel around the 96.000km of blood vessels of our body. Blood contains many different types of cells, which play key roles for us. For example, Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are the on
For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with
Höksångarens Sylvia nisoria flyttning och övervintring Fåglars flyttning har fascinerat forskare under en lång tid. Från att ha varit begränsat till visuella observationer har utvecklingen tagit forskningsfältet framåt via bland annat ringmärkning, radar, satellit- och GPS-sändare. Det senaste decenniet har mycket små ljusmätande apparater gjort det möjligt att detaljerat följa även mindre fåglarTechnological advancements in the past few decades have been pushing the research field of animal migration forward rapidly. In this study light-level geolocators were used to track Swedish barred warblers Sylvia nisoria, a long-distance migrant wintering in equatorial East Africa. We obtained data on autumn migration events and on wintering sites. Ringing data from populations in Northern Europe
Background: Today, the environmental challenge presents a growing concern for the food supply chains around the world; and developing countries in particular, suffer from it. UN Global Compact has defined environmental sustainability as dealing with three main environmental challenges: climate change, water and sanitation, and food and agriculture. Digital tools have disruptive potential, especial

The EU cohesion policy is a key policy area of the Union which aims for sustainable development and socioeconomic growth in the regions of the Member States. However, in the current structure of the multi-level governance system, the EU is much reliant on the capacity of the national public administrations to execute and implement the cohesion policy and thereby achieve the intended EU policy obje
The initiating impetus of this project was a frustration over the en-masse inaction experienced in relation to the climate crisis. Although people are aware of necessary actions few are able to act. This project attempts to understand people’s inability to act whilst looking at ways to counter this apathy through behavioral change. Through research on convenience, human behavior and inaction we a
This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an onlin
Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T

Our aim is to study if and how LGBTIQ has been made invisible in the public library context, and how this can be countered. In order to do this, we have studied the public library of Hallonbergen, located in Sundbyberg, Sweden. Hallonbergen is the first library in Sweden certificated by RFSL (The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights). The certificate shows that they
Förhindra antibiotikaresistens – börja övervaka den! För snart hundra år sedan upptäcktes penicillin – ett antibiotikum som sedan dess har räddat miljontals människor från bakterieinfektioner. Idag ser vi hur antibiotika blir helt verkningslösa då bakterierna i ökande takt utvecklar resistens mot dem. Inom en snar framtid kan vi befinna oss i en era där vi återigen dör av infektioner som tidigar
Uppsatsen syftar till att synliggöra och problematisera hur omfattningen av domens negativa rättskraft förhåller sig till konsumentens rättigheter härrö-rande ur EU-rätten. Efter en jämförelse mellan HD:s rättspraxis och EU-domstolens avgöranden i konsumenträttsliga mål är min slutsats att den rätts-kraftslära HD utvecklat kan försämra konsumenträttens genomslag och såle-des strida mot den EU-rättThis essay aims to illustrate and problematize how the extent of res judicata rules relates to EU-regulated consumer rights. After a comparison between case law from the Swedish High Court (HD) and the European Court of Jus-tice (ECJ), I’ve concluded that the HD-created jurisprudence regarding res judicata might be incompatible with the EU principle of effectiveness. This is due to its potential i
