Kan vi förutsäga skånska våtmarkers igenväxningshastighet? Det kan vara svårt att underhålla våtmarker på regional nivå, inte minst eftersom det är såväl kostsamt som tidskrävande att ständigt hålla uppsikt över de våtmarker man ansvarar för. Det vore därför önskvärt att se om man kunde ge en uppskattning på hur lång tid det i snitt tar för en våtmark att växa igen till den grad att den behöver rScanian wetlands were extensively drained in the late 19th and early 20th century, with as little as 10% of historical wetlands remaining today. However, due to an increased understanding of the many important functions served by wetlands in the agricultural landscape, there’s now a strong incentive to restore these systems. In this study, 83 wetlands created as part of Kävlingeåprojektet were vis

Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning - Är rymden en enda stor tunnelbana? Finns det utomjordiskt liv i universum? Konceptet av Fermi paradoxen har förundrat forskare sedan tidigt 50-tal. Den ställer frågan om varför utomjordiskt liv inte har blivit upptäckt ännu. I jämförelse med andra system i universum är vårt solsystem relativt ungt med sina 4,6 miljarder år. Detta betyder att stjärnor med äldre plAbstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. In this thesis I simulate how civilisations can spread through the galaxy via close encountering stars, assuming they travel at sub-relativistic speeds. A defined region arou

Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the

Background: Cardiovascular disease is common and it is therefore important to have tools to investigate pathophysiology and normal physiology of the cardiovascular system. One such tool is using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in order to measure blood flow in vessels, particularly while the participant imaged is exercising. This enables studying the blood flow during exercise which is especiall

Att sälja sin bostad hör till en av livets största affärer. Ett viktigt moment är att bestämma ett utgångspris för sin bostad, men det råder oklarheter kring vilken inverkan utgångspriser har på utfallet i en försäljning. Studien ”List prices in Icelandic residential property sales – A strategic tool for achieving higher sales prices or quicker time-on-market?” tar sikte på Islands bostadsmarknad,In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro

I Sverige kom det första undantaget från turordningsreglerna 1994 med syftet att upprätthålla balansen mellan arbetstagarnas trygghet och verksamheternas behov av flexibilitet. Sedan 2001 är undantaget i turordningsreglerna begränsat till två personer och gäller för företag med högst tio anställda. År 2020 är tvåundantaget återigen uppe för diskussion om ändring i och med betänkandet SOU 2020:30, In Sweden the first exception concerning turn rules was accepted in 1994 with the purpose to maintain the balance between employment protection and the companies need for flexibility. Since 2001 the exception concerning turn rules is limited to two employees for organisations with at most ten employees. In the year of 2020 the exception within the turn rules is up for discussion once again hence t

Strålbehandling är en vanlig behandlingsteknik för behandling av cancer. Behandlingen kan levereras på två olika sätt: internt eller externt. Vid extern strålbehandling bestrålas tumören med en strålkälla som befinner sig utanför kroppen. Vid intern strålbehandling, även kallat brachybehandling, placeras strålkällan inuti kroppen, i eller i nära anslutning till tumören. Själva tumören får därmed mPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate a new methodology for brachytherapy of oesophageal cancer using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for treatment planning. That includes finding a suitable oesophageal applicator that can be visualised on MR images and to create dose and fraction schedule that should be used brachytherapy treatments. Material and Methods: A total of six patients were

In this master´s thesis I seek to explore the concept of restorative justice, an ideological approach to justice which aims to repair the harm caused by crime through means of communication, cooperation, participation and restoration. By involving all parties affected by crime, restorative justice seeks to address crime through empowering victims, increasing community cohesion and making offenders

Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration

The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om juristers moraliska uppfattning skiljer sig från gemene mans moraliska uppfattning. Den teoretiska bakgrunden om moral utgick från Haidts “Moral Foundations theory”, i enlighet med denna teori utgick studien från att det finns fem olika moraliska principer som utgör den moraliska kompassen. Centralt för studiens teoretiska bakgrund om beslutsfattande och inlThe purpose of the study was to explore whether or not there are any differences between attorneys and the average citizen's moral notions. The theoretical background mainly focused on Haidt’s Moral foundations theory, in accordance with this theory the study adhered to the five moral foundations that constitute the moral compass. A main part of the theoretical background was also the theory o

Samverkande proteiner vid syrebrist under inflytande av inhibitorn PT2385 i hjärntumörceller från barn DIPG är en typ av hjärncancer hos barn som är placerad i övre delen av nacken vilket gör den svår att operera. Ledsamt nog finns ingen behandling för denna sjukdom, och patienter behandlas ofta med strålning för att förlänga livet med några enstaka månader. Hos den typiska patienten så överlevePurpose: The HIF-2α inhibitor PT2385 inhibits complex formation between HIF-2a and ARNT1 and thereby blocks HIF-2a transcriptional activation. It has been proven to extend survival in renal cancer, while its effects in pediatric brain cancer are unknown. This study is to investigate the effect of PT2385 in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cells, as well as to investigate HIF-2a interaction

Volatile conflicts, poverty and suppression of basic human rights stemming from one's political or religious affiliations, gender and race, are some of the various reasons why thousands flee home in the hopes of finding some kind of security. As the world observes the appalling deterioration of conflicts in Western Sudan, Iraq and Haiti, we simultaneously observe neighbouring or developed coun

Background In mild asthma exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is usually treated with inhaled short-acting beta(2) agonists (SABAs) on demand. Objective The hypothesis was that a combination of budesonide and formoterol on demand diminishes EIB equally to regular inhalation of budesonide and is more effective than terbutaline inhaled on demand. Methods Sixty-six patients with asthma (>12 ye
