Ambient fine particulate matter PM2.5 (particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 μm) has been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality. It has been shown that biomass burning for heat production purposes can generate large amounts of fine particles. Thus characteristics of particle emissions from biofuel combustion may be important in the assessment of health effects

Introduction. The European Multiple System Atrophy-Study Group (EMSA-SG) is an academic network comprising 23 centers across Europe and Israel that has constituted itself already in January 1999. This international forum of established experts under the guidance of the University Hospital of Innsbruck as coordinating center is supported by the 5th framework program of the European Union since Marc

Ever since its first conception in 1907 by Bergson, "complementarity" has come to represent extremely wholistic situations, for which fragmentability into parts turn out unsuccessful. In 1927, Bohr used the term complementarity within quantum mechanics, with profound consequences, for a principally unsuccessful fragmentability into independent observability and definability concepts. The paper ob

To be able to explore different signal types and processing techniques, apt for sediment mapping, programmable, fully digital profiling systems has been built and tested. The systema are designed to be deployed also at small water depths from small boats, without special handling equipment. The usable frequency band is 100-25000 Hz, limited to approximately 2-10 kHz depending on the projector used

Popular Abstract in English Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are the building blocks of DNA and the balanced cellular dNTP pools are of extreme importance to maintain the genomic stability and overall function of the cell. Primarily, two different pathways exist in most of the organisms that are responsible for providing dNTPs. One is called the de novo pathway where dNTPs are formed fromThe synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), building blocks of DNA, can be achieved by two different pathways in the cell. One is called de novo synthesis and the other is known as salvage pathway. The de novo pathway involves synthesis of dNTPs by utilizing basic molecules like sugars, amino acids, CO2, NH3, etc., while in the other pathway, dNTPs are formed by salvaging intra- or

Popular Abstract in Swedish 80 % av den globala energi som används härrör från fossila bränslen. Ytterligare 10 % baseras på förbränning av någon form av förnyelsebart bränsle. Således är 90 % av vår energianvändning beroende av någon typ av förbränning, oavsett det rör sig om förbränning av olja, kol, gas eller biomassa. I en tid då priset på olja ständigt slår nya rekord, lagstiftningen kring miTemperature is one of the most fundamental parameters to be measured in many research disciplines. In combustion science, a thorough knowledge of temperature is essential for improving and optimizing combustion processes. Increasingly strict environmental legislation, greater demands for energy, and efforts to reduce dependence upon fossil fuels are forcing the combustion industry to obtain more a

The ability to understand and communicate about the actions of others is a fundamental aspect of our daily activity. How can we talk about what others are doing? What qualities do different actions have such that they cause us to see them as being different or similar? What is the connection between what we see and the development of concepts and words or expressions for the things that we see? To

The worldwide exponential increase in smartphone penetration has changed the way in which many consumers shop, as their personal device is more frequently used as a shopping tool. Retailers now have to consider the integration of this technology in their omnichannel strategy. While some industries, such as customer electronics, have been highly affected by this trend, m-commerce has not received t

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka den processuella gången som följer då poliser begår våldsbrott i tjänst. Förfarandet innebär processer i flera instanser vilket leder till en rad problem, inte minst ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Målet har varit att undersöka förfarandet så som det ser ut idag, att identifiera eventuella problem och att söka lösningar på dessa. Polisens aThe aim of this master thesis has been to examine the court proceedings when policemen commit violent crimes at work. The procedure involves processes in multiple instances causing a range of problems. The goal has been to investigate the procedure as it is today, to identify potential problems and to seek solutions to these problems. The police has a complex role in society and their work assig

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in 2015, aim to engage the planet into general efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change worldwide. It consists in an original attempt to engage all groups and individuals by setting targets to be met over the incoming 15 years. One of the biggest innovations of the SDGs has been the consideration of the p

A Linear e+e- collider, either ILC or CLIC will be the next platform for high energy physics study to complement the LHC. Results discovered by LHC may need precision measurements before we can get full understanding of the physics. International collaborations are in the process to prepare both for the accelerator and for the experimental setup. Time projection chambers as the main central track

Functional food (FF) is a relatively new sector in the food industry. FF are products that have an added nutritional value for consumers that is communicated through nutritional and health claims, and act as preventive agents of chronic diseases. Innovation of new FF products has grown to become an important impact in research towards preventing welfare diseases. The rate of innovation in this fie

Popular science summary Is the European hake “shrinking” under the current fishing practices? Did you know that the current fishing practices have caused significant declines in body size of many exploited fishing stocks? This effect of fishing management has become one of the major threats for commercially exploited fish species and it can have severe negative consequences for the offspring of

Föreliggande uppsats utreder förändringen från den 26 mars 2021 avseende den bredare tillämpningen av artikel 22 koncentrationsförordningen och undersöker de osäkerhetsmoment som därigenom uppstår för parter i företagsförvärv. Förändringen innebär ett tydligt avsteg från den Europeiska kommissionens väletablerade praxis i tillämpningen av bestämmelsen.

Problembeskrivning: Lager och lagerhållningsprocesser ses ofta som några av de viktigaste delarna i ett företags värdekedja, så dessa delar kan stå för över 20 procent av företagets totala logistikkostnader. Storleken på dessa kostnader, och även många andra kostnader relaterade till lagerföring, är huvudsakligen en konsekvens av de beslut som togs när lagren designades. Lagerdesign bör därför sesProblem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse

Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain

This dissertation examines how young people with Kurdish backgrounds form their identity in Sweden with regards to processes of inclusion and exclusion. It also sheds light on the ways these young people deal with ethnic discrimination and racism. Further, the study outlines the importance of these social processes for the discipline of social work and the ways social workers can work with disadva
