Aluminium is one of the most abundant metals in the earth’s crust, and aluminium compounds are widely used. Aluminium is considered to be a weak allergen, but contact allergy to aluminium has been more frequently reported in recent years. The most important routes of sensitization to aluminium are aluminium-containing vaccines, hyposensitization with aluminium-adsorbed extracts and contact with al
Recent evidence challenges the widely held view that the hippocampus is specialized for episodic memory, by demonstrating that it also underpins the integration of information across experiences. Contemporary computational theories propose that these two contrasting functions can be accomplished by big-loop recurrence, whereby the output of the system is recirculated back into the hippocampus. We
From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) arrived and sought asylum in Sweden. Since their arrival, the Church of Sweden (CoS) has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. This phenomenon is notable in an institution that is otherwise declining in membership and which is not known for actively recruiting new members. While
Geosmin is one of the most recognizable and common microbial smells on the planet. Some insects, like mosquitoes, require microbial-rich environments for their progeny, whereas for other insects such microbes may prove dangerous. In the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, geosmin is decoded in a remarkably precise fashion and induces aversion, presumably signaling the presence of harmful microbes
Technological innovation is still a challenge for SMEs in emerging countries, mainly due to the lack of financial, structural, capital, and proper managerial resources. Covid-19 presented a scenario that increased difficulties for companies, especially of this kind, and at the same time presented a necessity-driven impulse to look for innovative solutions. This study aimed to analyze the drivers o
A large amount of contaminated cellulose and wood fibers were emitted directly onto the seabed by the pulp and paper industry before the year of 1970. This fiber-rich sediment contains concentrations of hazardous substances that cause environmental problems. Mercury (Hg) in the fiber sediment is a worldwide threat because it can bioaccumulate in the aquatic ecosystem and eventually affect human he
Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist including language barriers, a lack of understanding about the benefits of preprints and a lack of di
In Sweden, urban planners are legally obligated to design neighbourhoods that allow future buildings to meet daylight requirements. However, this is challenging because planners can only define the building masses, without control over future building details such as glazing ratios, room layouts, and orientation.The Vertical Sky Component (VSC) is a well-established indicator for early daylight as
I barnkonventionens artikel 34 stadgas ett krav på att konventionsstaterna ska skydda barn mot alla former av sexuellt utnyttjande och sexuella övergrepp. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vad detta krav på skydd innebär. Till uppsatsens syfte hör också att utreda om det finns någonting Sverige, som konventionsstat, kan göra för att i större grad anses leva upp till kravet på skydd för barn mellan 15Article 34 in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates that the State Parties undertake to protect children from all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. The purpose of this essay is to examine what the requirements of protection means. Furthermore, it will be examined if there is anything Sweden, as a State Party, can do to improve its compliance with the requ
Miljö- och klimatpåverkan är idag centralt inom byggbranschen. För att uppnå de globala och nationella mål som existerar krävs fler åtgärder för att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. Byggsektorn står idag för cirka 21 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Klimatberäkningar är ett sätt att uppmärksamma aktörer på den klimatpåverkan branschen utgör och öka motivationen till förändring. I dThe environmental and climate impact are today central within the building sector. To meet the global and national emission goals more actions need to be taken to reduce the impact of the building sector which is responsible for 21% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate calculations are a great step in the right direction to draw attention to the impact a building has on the environm
Denna uppsats undersöker den historiska och juridiska utvecklingen av principen att domstolar ska beakta barns åsikter i vårdnadstvister i Sverige. Genom en rättshistorisk metod granskar studien utvecklingen av lagstiftningen från tidigt 1900-tal till nutid. Analysen identifierar centrala reformer som in-förde och stärkte kravet på att domstolar ska beakta barns åsikter och diskuterar anledningarnThis paper examines the historical and legal development of the principle that courts should consider children's opinions in custody disputes in Sweden. Using a legal-historical method, the study reviews the evolution of legislation from the early 20th century to the present day. The analysis identifies key reforms that introduced and strengthened the requirement for courts to take children
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
Ever since archeologists opened the resting place of Pharao Akhenaton (14th century B.C.) at Tel el-Amarna in the late nineteenth century there has been discussions on whether “The Great Hymn to Aten” – which was discovered there – has in someway influenced Psalm 104 in the Psalter of the Old Testament. It was suggested that the Great Hymn to Aten has had an direct literal influence on the psalm,
In order to systematize and rationalize the quality control process for FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) input data a software application for this specific purpose has been developed. In order to study the occurrence of user related errors in FDS input data and the possibility of reducing such errors by using the developed application, a case study on archived FDS input data from actual building pro
En liten molekyl med en stor uppgift Alla människor ser olika ut, vi har olika hårfärg, är olika långa och har olika hudfärg. Har du någonsin undrat vad det är som gör dig till dig? Svaret är till stor del dina gener. Vi består av celler och varje cell i din kropp har alla dina gener som behövs för att skapa dig. Man kan likna en gen vid ett recept som cellen använder för att veta hur den ska ti
Följande rapport behandlar Östgötateatern i Linköping och skrivs som en del av kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Brandtekniska avdelningen, Lunds tekniska högskola. Syftet med rapporten är att utvärdera personsäkerheten i byggnaden vid händelse av brand. Information om objektet fås genom ett platsbesök, varefter ett antal möjliga brandscenarion identifieras. Genom att utföra en grovanalys på d
Att jordbruksmark bebyggs har under senare tid blivit en alltmer aktuell fråga och har skapat debatt kring skyddet av jordbruksmark. Lagstiftningen om detta skydd återfinns i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (1998:808) där det anges att jordbruk är av nationell betydelse. Vidare gäller enligt paragrafen att brukningsvärd jordbruksmark får bebyggas för väsentliga samhällsintressen endast om inte annan mark, The fact that agricultural land is being exploited has become a more present question and has created a debate regarding the protection of agricultural land. The legislation of this protection is found in Chapter 3 Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) which states that agriculture is a national interest. Furthermore, it states that land suitable for cultivation may be exploited f
