The climate impacts from bioenergy involve an important time aspect. Using forest residues for energy may result in high initial emissions, but net emissions are reduced over time since, if the residues were left on the ground, they would decompose and release CO2 to the atmosphere. This article investigates the climate impacts from bioenergy with special focus on the time aspects. More specifical
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the burden of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Spain, as baseline for economic evaluation of the use of biological agents. METHODS: A cross-sectional retrospective observational study was performed in 601 patients with AS in Spain, using a methodology developed in studies in the United Kingdom and Canada. Patients were mailed a questionnaire asking about their health-care c
Context. Measuring the abundances of neutron-capture elements in Galactic disk stars is an important part of understanding key stellar and galactic processes. In the optical wavelength regime a number of different neutron-capture elements have been measured; however, only the s-process-dominated element cerium has been accurately measured for a large sample of disk stars from the infrared H band.
Most often, the laminar burning velocity (SL) of ammonia was measured in mixtures diluted by nitrogen bearing in mind its potential use as an alternative carbon-free fuel. Replacing the diluent with argon can increase the flame temperature and thus provide additional targets for validating pertinent detailed kinetic models. The SL data for ammonia + oxygen + argon mixtures are scarce; therefore, i
Background: Voluntary self-exclusion from gambling is a common but underdeveloped harm reduction tool in the management of gambling problems or gambling disorders. Large-scale, multi-operator, and operator-independent self-exclusion services are needed. A recent nationwide multi-operator self-exclusion service in Sweden (Spelpaus), involving both land- and web-based gambling sites, is promising, b
Objective: We tested the potential of circulating galectin-1, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) levels at baseline in individuals with knee pain as biomarkers for development of radiographic knee and/or hand osteoarthritis (OA). Design: This study comprised 212 individuals with knee pain from the Halland osteoarthritis cohort (HALLOA). Clinical characteris
Denna uppsats undersöker hur processens ram fastställs vid avtalstolkning i dispositiva tvistemål. Syftet är att klargöra vilka delar av en avtalstolkning som domstolen ansvarar för att utreda och vilka delar som är beroende av parternas dispositioner. Uppsatsen bygger på en rättsdogmatisk metod för att utröna den gällande rätten och svaren på uppsatsens frågeställningar. Uppsatsen besvarar följanThis thesis examines how the scope of the procedure is determined in a case concerning contract interpretation within civil disputes capable of settlement. The purpose is to clarify which aspects of contract interpretation fall under the court's responsibility to investigate and which aspects depend on the parties' disposition. The thesis adopts a legal dogmatic method to determine the ans
In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
The purpose of this research is to achieve a deeper insight of the emulsifying, suspending, and gelling properties of the meat proteins and see the possibility to use them to produce reduced-salt emulsion-type sausages. Sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were extracted from pork (longissimus dorsi, LD). Firstly, their aggregation behaviors in different salt concentrations – namely, 0.15 M, 0.4
Background: Identification of clinical features that might distinguish psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)from epileptic seizures (ES) is of value for diagnosis, management, and understanding of both conditions. Previousstudies have shown that patients' descriptions of their seizures reflect differences in content and delivery.Weaimed to compare verbal descriptions of PNES and ES using a mixe
Frågan om hur skuld ska bedömas då en person som varit tillfälligt sinnesförvirrad begår en straffbelagd handling är ett klassiskt straffrättsligt problem. I detta arbete undersöks hur den svenska rätten ser på när förvirringstillståndet beror på en berusning, närmare bestämt hur straffansvaret ser ut vid självförvållat rus. Här presenteras olika tolkningar som framförts i doktrinen både i de legeThe issue of how legal liability should be assessed when a temporarily insane person commits a punishable offense is a classical problem within criminal law. How the Swedish law regards a state of confusion caused by intoxication will be examined in this thesis. More specifically what is the criminal liability regarding self-induced intoxication? Different interpretations expressed both in de lege
Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for
Uppsatsen behandlar ansvarsbefriande samtycke och social adekvans vid strypvåld i sexuella situationer. Utgångspunkten är den konflikt som uppstår när individens sexuella självbestämmande ställs mot straffrättens skydd för liv och hälsa i sammanhang där frivillighet och våld sammanfaller. Frågan har aktualiserats genom den ökade rättsliga och samhälleliga uppmärksamheten kring strypvåld och väckerThis thesis examines exculpatory consent and social adequacy in cases involving non-fatal strangulation in sexual contexts. The point of departure is the conflict that arises when an individual’s sexual self-determination is weighed against the protection afforded by criminal law to life and health in situations where voluntariness and violence coincide. The issue has gained increased legal and so
Den 8 november 2024 infördes den nya förverkandeformen självständigt förverkande i 36 kap. 5 § BrB. Bestämmelsen innebär att egendom numera kan förverkas utan att åklagaren behöver styrka att något konkret brott har begåtts. För att förverka egendom genom självständigt förverkande är det tillräckligt att åklagaren gör det ”klart mera sannolikt” att egendom härrör från någon ospecificerad brottsligOn 8 November 2024, a new form of confiscation, independent confiscation, was introduced in Chapter 36 Section 5 of the Penal Code. The provision enables property to be confiscated without the prosecutor having to prove that any specific crime has been committed. It is sufficient that the prosecutor makes it "clearly more probable" that the property originates from some kind of criminal
Uppsatsen behandlar domstolens skyldighet att utöva materiell processledning i förhållande till parternas åberopade rättsfakta i dispositiva tvistemål. Utgångspunkten är den spänning som råder mellan dispositionsprincipen, enligt vilken parterna bestämmer processens ram, och domstolens ansvar för att genom materiell processledning klarlägga processmaterialet. Rättegångsbalken ger begränsad väglednThe thesis examines the court’s duty to exercise direction of proceedings in relation to the parties’ referred circumstances in civil cases amenable to out-of-court settlement. The point of departure is the tension between the principle of party disposition, according to which the parties determine the framework of the proceedings, and the court’s responsibility to clarify the procedural material.
I samband med metoo-rörelsen dömdes ett flertal kvinnor för förtal efter att ha pekat ut sin påstådda förövare av sexuella trakasserier och övergrepp på olika medieplattforma. Gemensamt i många av målen var att sanningshalten i kvinnornas uttalanden aldrig blev föremål för prövning. Bristen på sanningsprövning i målen väckte i sin tur debatt där kritik riktades mot förtalsbestämmelsen – är den en In connection with the #MeToo movement, several women were convicted of defamation after having publicly identified their alleged perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault. A common factor in many of these cases was that the truthfulness of the women’s statements was never subjected to judicial review by the courts. The absence of truth assessment in the cases has since sparked debate with cri
Ett stort antal barn i Sverige uppger att de utsätts för våld eller andra övergrepp i sitt eget hem. Detta trots att principen om barnets bästa utgör en viktig grundläggande princip och ska vara avgörande i alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vad som rent faktiskt utgör barnets bästa framkommer inte uttryckligen av lagtexten, utan ska bedömas utifrån varje barns enskilda situation. LagtextA significant number of children in Sweden are reporting that they are subjected to violence or other forms of abuse in their own homes. This is despite the fact that the principle of the best interests of the child constitutes an important fundamental principle and is intended to be decisive in all matters concerning custody, residence, and contact. What constitutes the best interests of the chil
This thesis examines the independence of the UN treaty bodies, both in its entirety and the autonomy of the individual treaty body members. Since independence is very difficult to measure empirically, this paper uses the theoretical framework of Principal-Trustee theory as a tool by which the independence can be understood. This instrument allows us to examine the independence of the treaty body s
The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) refers to 4 - 4,5 billion people in the world, who are living on less than a few dollars per day. This majority of the world's population has a little resources and is usually considered as a group with no purchasing power and therefore is currently unserved and underserved by current products and services. However, more than any others, the low-income consumers a
