Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a flexible method for acquiring high-resolution imagery with relative simple operation and cost-effectiveness. This technology emerged 30 years ago and it is widely used by commercial, scientific, and military communities due to its versatility. However, new technology brings new challenges. One of them is the radiometric accuracy of the UAV imagery. Radiome
The transfer of 210Po and 210Pb between various compartments in the terrestrial environment has been analysed by using various published data. The average activity concentration of 210Po in soil is 61 ± 14 Bq.kg-1 d.w. with a median (50%) value of 44 Bq.kg-1 d.w. Ground water concentrations of 210Po in drilled wells might be as high as 6.5 Bq/l. But in regular drinking water it is just about 3-5
The PYTHIA program is a standard tool for the generation of events in high-energy collisions, comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process to a complex multiparticle final state. It contains a library of hard processes, models for initial- and final-state parton showers, matching and merging methods between hard processes and parton showers, multiparto
Syftet med examensarbetet är att ta reda på hur delning av lokaler fungerar idag och undersöka potential samt de utmaningar som föreligger för att kunna etablera delningsekonomi inom fastighetsbranschen. Studien har främst fokuserat på det befintliga fastighetsbeståndet i Sverige. Syftet uppnås genom att besvara följande två frågor: 1. Hur används delningsekonomi inom fastighetsbranschen idag? 2.The aim of this thesis was to research the current status of shared space use. Furthermore, this thesis also aimed to investigate the potential and challenges related to sharing economy in the real estate sector. The thesis focused mainly on existing buildings in Sweden. The aim was to answer the following two research questions: 1. How is sharing economy used in the real estate industry? 2. What
In this study we show that proteins can be partitioned and separated in a novel aqueous two-phase system composed of only one polymer in water solution. This system represents an attractive alternative to traditional two-phase systems which uses either two polymers (e.g., PEG/dextran) or one polymer in high-salt concentration (e.g., PEG/salt). The polymer in the new system is a linear random copol
ABSTRACT The aim of the present work was to compare patients with advanced cancer receiving specialized palliative home care with those receiving conventional care. A hospital-based advanced home care programme was initiated, in order to enable patients to remain at home for a longer period and to choose to die at home. The allocation to advanced home care (AHC) or conventional care (CC) was perf
Popular Abstract in Swedish Epilepsi är en allvarlig kronisk neurologisk sjukdom, som drabbar ungefär 1% av befolkningen. Sjukdomen yttrar sig genom plötsliga återkommande krampanfall, som beror på en obalans i hjärnan mellan hämmande (inhibitoriska) och stimulerande (excitatoriska) nervimpulser. När de stimulerande impulserna tar överhand leder detta till överstimulering, också kallad för hyperexEpilepsy is a severe chronic neurological disorder, affecting about 1% of the population. The disease is manifested by spontaneous recurrent seizures, caused by hypersynchronized neuronal activity due to imbalance in the brain between the inhibition and excitation. Symptoms are treated with anti-epileptic drugs, but unfortunately, 30-40% of patients respond poorly to current treatment. Therefore,

Relict spinel grains (similar to 25-250 mu m in diameter) from decomposed extraterrestrial material in Archean to Recent sediments can be used to reconstruct variations in the flux of different types of meteorites to Earth through the ages. Meteorite falls are rare and meteorites weather and decay rapidly on the Earth surface, making it a challenge to reconstruct ancient fluxes. Almost all meteori
Most modern ultrafast lasers are based on mode-locked fiber or solid-state lasers and operate around the near infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The widely spread CPA based Titanium Sapphire lasers can emit pulses centred around 800nm with durations down to 20 fs. However, for many ultrafast experiments light at different centre frequencies are required. In order to obtain other centre
Popular science summary Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most consumed pharmaceuticals worldwide, and thus belong to the most frequently identified pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments. Until now multiple examinations have shown adverse effects of NSAIDs on life functions of aquatic organisms even in low concentrations. However, there is still lack of data about toxic
Området som undersöktes i denna studie ligger i västra delen av Hamrångesynklinalen. I studien har bergarter, bergartsgränser och strukturer karterats i fält. Tunnslip undersöktes med optisk mikroskopi i avseende på petrografi och förekomst av mikrostrukturer. Flera av tunnslipen har punkträknats för bergartsklassificering. Några bergarter har Rietveldanalyserats för närmare bestämning av mineralsThe studied area is located in the western part of the Hamrånge syncline. In this area, the rocks, contacts and structures were mapped . Thinsections were investigated regarding petrography and microstructures, and representative thinsections were pointcounted. Three samples were selected for Rietveld analysis to receive the chemical compositions. Minerals from both the syncline and the area outsi
Despite national progress, stunting remains prevalent in specific regions of Rwanda, highlighting the limitations of coarse-resolution data for effective mapping and intervention planning. This study explored optimal spatial resolution and analytical approach to capture localised dynamics and the multifactorial nature of stunting. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted in the Nort
The problem of antibiotic resistance is rising continuously, creating a warning signal that calls for finding alternatives. Not only that, but there is also a rising demand for natural food preservatives. The pharmaceutical and food industry sectors are working on fulfilling these needs. This thesis is exploring possible solutions to these issues. The research studies presented here introduce the
Background. Over five billion people worldwide lack access to safe and affordable surgery and anesthesia care when required. There is a critical unmet need for surgical care, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The shortage of surgical providers is one of the most influential barriers to receiving surgical care, and the maldistribution is aggravated by doctors emigrating
Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle. Accurate and reliable estimation of precipitation is essential for various applications. Generally, there are three main types of precipitation products: satellite based, reanalysis, and ground measurements from rain gauge stations. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Recent efforts have been made to develop various merging methods
BackgroundRecovery colleges were developed in England to support the recovery of individuals who have mental health symptoms or mental illness. They have been founded in many countries but there has been little international research on recovery colleges and no studies investigating their staffing, fidelity, or costs. We aimed to characterise recovery colleges internationally, to understand organi
För att främja ett aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande (AHA) är det avgörande att förstå hur olika generationer använder digitala teknologier, då dessa verktyg blir en alltmer integrerad del av vardagen. Detta avhandlingsprojekt undersökte teknikanvändning bland kvinnor och män i tre åldersgrupper som representerar olika generationer (30–39, 50–59 och 70–79 år), med fokus på attityder, användningsmönste
