Landskrona has for a long time had problems with high concentrations of Pb and other heavy metals in the air. Measurements investigating the content of airborne particles have been performed in 1977, 1988, 2003 and 2008 and show an influence from heavy industries, traffic in town and transboundary pollution. To investigate the air quality in terms of heavy metals in Landskrona today, the metal con
Småföretagen upplever svårigheter vid finansiering med banklån. Anledningen till det är att bankerna ställer högre krav på säkerheter och historik till följd av finanskrisen 2008. Samtidigt söker investerarna alternativa placeringar utanför börsen. I denna miljö föds en ny finansieringslösning- gräsrotsfinansiering. Ämnet är nytt och i detta arbete ges en introduktion och en kartläggning av ämnet Small businesses encounter difficulties receiving bank loans due to the 2008 recession. Banks have harder requirements on collaterals and satisfactory records of accomplishment than before the crisis. At the same time, investors are looking for investments beside common stocks. In this environment, a new financing solution is being born – the crowdfunding. The aim of this thesis is to research on

Under 2016 antogs företaghemlighetsdirektivet i EU, för att harmonisera skyddet för företagshemligheter inom unionen. Den här uppsatsen behandlar företagshemlighetsdirektivet och de förändringar som dess implementering medför för svensk rätt, i synnerhet direktivets bestämmelser om ”intrångsgörande varor”. Den svenska lagen (1990:409) om skydd för företagshemligheter (FHL) är en konkurrensrättslDuring 2016 the EU adopted the Trade Secrets Directive, in order to harmonize the protection of trade secrets within the union. This essay examines the Trade Secrets Directive and the changes its implementation entails for the Swedish legal system, in particular the directive’s regulations regarding “infringing goods”. The Swedish law for the protection of trade secrets (“lagen (1990:409) om sky
Popular Abstract in Swedish Senare forskning har påvisat att beslutsfattare som återger attraktivitets skattningar (aspekter) av egenskaper (attribut) av det valda och det icke valda alternativet i ett beslut som de tidigare fattat, ökar attraktivitets differensen mellan alternativen. Denna efterbesluts attraktivitets differentiering (konsolidering) verkar till fördel för det valda alternativet. KRecent research has shown that when decision makers in retrospect are asked to reproduce attractiveness evaluations (of aspects) of important characteristics (attributes) of a chosen and a non-chosen choice alternative, they exaggerate the attractiveness difference between the alternatives. This post-decision attractiveness differentiation (consolidation) works in favor of the chosen alternative.
Popular Abstract in English Our exploitation of yeasts, dating back to the Neolithic period, in fermented and baked foods remains deeply routed in societies due to their cultural and economic importance. Due to the long intimate relationship with yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the “baker’s yeast” remains the organism of choice. However, there is an enormous biodiversity of other yeasts, termed Abstract: For millennia, the “yeast” Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains by far the most extensively studied and exploited yeast in food and industrial applications. A number of researches and developments have been done since the establishment of the biochemical function of yeast by Louis Pasteur in 1860, however modern lifestyles often connected to food related health trends demand new and innovati
The thesis is based on applied research, rather closed to industrial development. The developed simulation model, for pre-design of evaporative gas turbine cycles, has been validated in a 600 kW pilot plant and in rebuilt turbo-charged diesel engines. Besides of the work with the thesis including theoretical modelling and hardware development concerning wet cycles, the work has also resulted in th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotor är i dagens värld den mest använda kraftkällan för fordon. Förbränningsmotorn har kontinuerligt utvecklats och förbättrats sedan Nicolaus August Ottos och Rudolf Diesels dagar, och kommer att fortsätta att utvecklas långt in i framtiden. Ingen konkurrerande teknik har ännu på allvar utmanat förbränningsmotorns ställning. Det finns en lång rad tänkbara The prime mover in the world today is the Internal Combustion (IC) engine. The development and improvement of the internal combustion engines since Nicolaus August Otto and Rudolf Diesel has continued until today and will continue long into the future. No major competitor to the IC engine has yet emerged. There is a long list of potential competitors but they still have to prove their superiority
Using a broad variety of scientific methods this dissertation systematically investigates the fundamental mechanisms underlying the dispersion processes in natural rivers and their mathematical descriptions in a geometrical framework. Emphasis is on the geometrical variations and irregularities of a natural river and their scales. Analysis starts with the integral scale and the Fickian dispersion
Popular Abstract in Swedish Aggressiva lymfom utgör en undergrupp av en typ av elakartade (maligna) tumörer, maligna lymfom. Cellerna i dessa tumörer utgår från en typ av vita blodkroppar, lymfocyter, vilka har en central roll i kroppens immunförsvar. Maligna lymfom utgör ca 4% av alla fall av elakartade tumörer i Sverige, vilket motsvarar ca 1700 nya fall per år. I västvärlden ökar dock antalet fAggressive lymphoma is a rapidly growing tumour of lymphocyte origin, potentially curable with chemotherapy. In a trial by the Nordic Lymphoma Group, 405 patients with aggressive lymphoma were included, and randomised to receive either the standard chemotherapy regimen, CHOP, or a weekly multidrug regimen, MACOP-B. In this trial, MACOP-B was not superior in terms of response, failure-free or overa
The global terrestrial carbon cycle plays a pivotal role in regulating the atmospheric composition of greenhouse gases. Currently it is responsible for removing 25-30% of our emissions every year, an important ecosystem service that may not persist in the long term. Global warming tends to decrease the CO2 sink capacity of the world’s oceans and ecosystems leading to a larger fraction of our emiss
Jordens plattektoniska rörelser leder till tektoniska skeenden vid plattgränserna, bland annat bergskedjebildning, då berggrunden utsätts för förändringar i tryck och temperatur. Vid ändrat tryck och ändrad temperatur förändras också bergarter: de ursprungliga mineralen konsumeras i kemiska reaktioner och i stället bildas nya mineral som är stabila vid de nya fysikaliska förhållandena - en processDating of metamorphic events is crucial for the understanding and reconstruction of large-scale geological processes such as orogenesis. Zircon is one of the most commonly used minerals for dating of igneous and metamorphic events. Zircon incorporates uranium and excludes lead during crystallization, and with time the uranium decays to lead. The diffusion rates of both elements are slow, making zi
Background. Natural gas makes a significant contribution to the current energy supply and its importance, in relation to both the German and worldwide energy supplies, will increase further in decades to come. In addition to its high degree of efficiency, the low level of direct GHG combustion emissions is also an advantageous factor. However, around 90% of natural gas is methane (CH4), which is t
Integrated Water Management (IWM) in line with the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) promotes a collaborative-oriented approach to tackle water management issues. This requires the participation of various government departments and stakeholder groups along with scientists and experts from different scientific disciplines.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Benskörhet (osteoporos) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ökar med stigande ålder. Osteoporos är idag en av de stora folksjukdomarna och man räknar med att en tiondel av alla män och en fjärdedel av alla kvinnor i Sverige drabbas. Tillståndet är i sig symptomfritt men ökar risken att råka ut för ett benbrott (fraktur) redan vid lättare fall. Frakturer The aim of this thesis was to evaluate risk factors for bone fragility and fractures in postmenopausal women in a long-term perspective. The study period spanned from the age of 48 to age 82 and is thus unique in its length. The studied sample was homogeneous and consisted of 390 north European women from a population-based cohort. At the start of the study, general health and lifestyle parameters
Very little is known about a considerable part of all proteins and it is time consuming and expensive to study each individual protein to determine its function, structure and cellular role. Proteins retain structural, functional and sequential characteristics from ancestral proteins and hence two proteins that share a common ancestor, i.e. are homologs, will to some extent have similar sequen
