This study presents a geographic information system–based multiple criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for mapping forest fire risk zones in the Mediterranean region of Evros, Greece, which is close to Alexandroupoli city and two national parks extremely rich in biodiversity, National Park Dadias - Soufliou - Lefkimmis and Evros Delta. A pairwise compari
Elnätet står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren med frågor såsom decentraliserad produktion, planerad nybyggnation och ett mer elektrifierat samhälle. Detta lyfter frågan om vad som kan göras idag för att använda elnätet mer effektivt och med vilka metoder elnätsbolag kan bedöma hur mycket kapacitet som finns tillgänglig i nätet. Arbetet bygger på kunddata från ca 4 500 kunder under en fördel\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract} \section*{\Large \textbf{Abstract}} The power grid needs to develop substantially the next few years to accommodate decentralized production, planned expansions and a more electricity dependent society. This raises the question of what can be done today to use the existing grid more efficiently and which methods the distribution system operator (DSO) can
The project was aimed at numerically assessing exoplanetary systems to distinguish their capabilities of hosting additional planets. The shortcomings of the radial velocity method sometimes causes hindrance in the detection of terrestrial planets. Although modern spectrometers have evolved and improved drastically, the process of distinguishing signals from smaller planets is still difficult and c

Older and normally more low-scale buildings are from a historical and cultural perspective in need to be preserved. But these older buildings are often also perceived as contributing to more beauty-oriented values to an urban environment, so called charm. For these reasons, new building development projects should be designed in such a way that these qualities are not destroyed. This study has thr
In the development of a product or system it is important to know that all the requirements are verified and validated in order to maintain a good reputation and standard. Today ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB does not have a clear traceability between requirements and verification. In order to improve and create a clear formal traceability for their developing process a traceability examination ha
Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kartering av makrofyter, framtagandet av en klassificeringsmetod för att kunna beräkna ekologisk status för Ålands skärgård och skapandet av miljöövervakningsprogram Europeiska unionen har i sitt miljöarbete bestämt att varje medlemsland ska upprätta övervakningsprogram och klassificeringsmetoder för att övervaka miljöns ekologiska status. Varje medlemsland anAbstract This mater project was conducted in Åland by assignment by the Government of Åland Islands. The project consisted of two parts, one survey of macrophytes and classification of the ecological status and a proposal on a marine monitoring program. The survey of macrophytes was conducted in the late summer of 2012, by SCUBA divers along 50 meters long transect at twelve sites in the Åland ar
Conventional dairy sections are often small and most customers pass through them quickly. Arla saw this as an under-utilisation and launched a new concept called Dairy Square. This is a store within the store where the temperature is lower, the environment more pleasant for the customer and the interior specially designed to increase sales. The concept has so far been a success. Arla have complet
Abstract The IT- business is a fast growing business trade. This expansive line of business continuously demands flexibility both economically and legally. It is, today, of great importance to have knowledge about your own trade especially when it comes to new agreements. Laws and regulations are seldom flexible and adaptable tools, this is due to the fact it takes time to create new laws and, abo
Alltmedan produktionen av textiler kommit att öka under de senaste åren har dess miljöpåverkan blivit mer uppenbar. Eftersom dagens textilproduktion har negativa konsekvenser under produktion, användande, såväl som vid avfallshantering, så finns det ett behov av att hitta effektiva metoder för att ta tillvara på de resurser som investerats under produktionen. Idag förbränns eller deponeras textilaAs the production of textiles has increased over the years, the climate impact of the textile industry is becoming more evident. Textile production can have negative impacts on the environment, both during production, use and disposal, which calls for efficient recycling methods to recover some of the resources invested. However, textile waste is primarily incinerated or landfilled, which pose as
AIMS: Extracellular ATP modulates pulsatile release of insulin, glucagon and somatostatin by activating P2Y(1) receptors. The present study examines if adenosine via A(1) receptors (A(1)R) interferes with pulsatile islet hormone release. MAIN METHODS: Pancreas was perfused in mice expressing or lacking the A(1) receptor and the hormones measured with radioimmunoassay. Cytoplasmic Ca(2+) was record
A controlled, highly engineered landfill has many similarities to natural peatlands or other natural anoxic sediment deposits. In anaerobic MSW landfills, generally about 30-50 percent of the total carbon content in the waste can be converted into biogas and be collected as resource for energy or chemical industry. Remaining long-lived organic carbon, e.g. from lignin remains un-degraded, Organic
While treatment for testicular cancer (TC) has become standardized after the 1980s with an associated significant improvement in patient survival, this has been accompanied by an increased risk of second primary cancers (SPCs). Patients were identified from the Swedish Cancer Registry spanning the years from 1980 to 2015, including 8788 individuals with primary TC and their SPCs. Relative risks (R
Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is alternative computational method to the traditional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods. LBM has the ability to with straightforward computational procedure to handle the detail activity at microscale well for simulation of different transport processes. In this study the focus is on the effects of electrochemical reactions and transport processes in an anod
This thesis is based on three scientific papers dealing with different models for coordinated control of multi-stage inventory systems. The ability to control multi-echelon inventory systems, is paramount for reducing tied up capital and inventory costs in large distribution systems. It is also one key issue in achieving efficient supply chain management. We focus our attention on a general distr
Popular Abstract in Swedish I atmosfären finns mikroskopiskt små luftburna partiklar. Till skillnad från makroskopiska partiklar sedimenterar dessa så kallade ’aerosol-partiklar’ så sakta att de följer med den omgivande luftens rörelser. I atmosfärens nedre luftlager (troposfären) avlägsnas aerosolpartiklarna från atmosfären av nederbörd. Partiklarna deponerar därför inom någon vecka. Ovanför tropThis thesis focuses on the influence of volcanism on the compositions of the aerosols in the upper troposphere (UT) and lowermost stratosphere (LMS), and their direct and indirect impact on climate. Aerosol data were obtained by aircraft-borne sampling, using the CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container) platform, and laboratory-based
Objective: To explore the prevalence of hyperglycemia and the associations between nutritional intakes, hyperglycemia, insulin treatment, and mortality in extremely preterm infants. Study design: Prospectively collected data from the Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study (EXPRESS) was used in this study and included 580 infants born <27 gestational weeks during 2004-2007.

Capsule: Foraging behaviour in the Razorbill Alca torda during breeding was similar to that found elsewhere, aside from dive shape. Aims: To investigate the foraging behaviour of Razorbills during the breeding season at the largest colony in the central Baltic Sea. Methods: A combination of global positioning system (GPS) and time-depth recorder (TDR) devices were used on Razorbills breeding on th
