Fossila bränslen har sedan den industriella revolutionen under 1800-talet dominerat som en användbar energiresurs. Med den ökade förbränningen av kolvätena, som länge har varit lagrade i marken i olika former, har även mängden koldioxid, $\mathrm{CO_2}$, ökat i atmosfären. Koldioxid är en växthusgas och bidrar till den omtalade växthuseffekten, vilket resulterar i en ökad temperatur. Denna ökade tChemical absorption of acidic gases, such as CO2, using amines, is a mature technique within Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and rely on the equilibrium reaction for both absorption and desorption. Carbon Capture and Storage systems are suggested as viable key processes to reduce anthropogenic carbon in the atmosphere. However, the technique is divided into two different approaches: pre-combustio

BakgrundPrimärvården utgör den första linjen av vård och stöd för personer med psykisk ohälsa. Verksamheten är i huvudsak inriktad på diagnostik, medicinsk behandling och symtomlindring. Tillgången till denna vård upplevs emellertid som utmanande både av patienter och vårdgivare. En fördjupad förståelse av den levda erfarenheten av mötet med primärvården kan bidra till utvecklingen av mer individaBackground: Primary health care is in the unique position of being a first level of support and care to individuals with mental health problems. The focus in this service is on diagnosis, medical treatment, and symptom reduction. However, to access it is perceived as challenging by both patients and providers.

Surface water fluctuations and lake storage has been severely impacted by climate change, causing severe flooding and drought events. Hence, monitoring the storage of lakes and reservoirs is of paramount importance to assess freshwater availability, to maintain a balance with the ecosystem and water use. This balance is important for sustainable water management in Sweden, which is reflected in th

Domestic abuse among the elderly is an increasing social problem where research is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate whether social workers perceive that they possess and receive sufficient knowledge, organizational support, and professional development regarding elder abuse, as well as to explore collaboration with other organizations involved in addressing domestic violence. In t

The purpose of this study was to understand how social workers in financial assistance perceive and support clients with mental illness and poverty. To answer the purpose of our study, we collected data using a qualitative methodology involving six social workers in financial assistance. The empirical data were examined through thematic analysis, where recurring patterns were identified. Our two t

Importance Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes have higher subsequent cardiovascular risks, but their long-term risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and potential causality are unclear. A better understanding of such risks is needed to identify women with high risk early in life and guide interventions to prevent AF and its complications. Objective To determine long-term risks of AF associated with

Background Pulmonary nodules (PNs) are clinically challenging because differentiation between benign and malignant PNs is not possible at CT detection; recurring CT examinations and invasive procedures are often required in PN follow-up. Purpose To investigate PN prevalence in a middle-aged population and the risk factors associated with these nodules. Materials and Methods In this secondary analy

Popular Abstract in SwedishUnder slutet av 1950-talet, ungefär samtidigt med tv:s etablering, innehade Sverige Europarekordet vad gäller antalet biografer. Folk gick på bio som aldrig förr. Biograferna att spela en mycket stor roll för film- och biografkulturens tillgänglighet och spridning. Den här boken handlar om att gå på bio. Genom att gå på bio lärde sig människor att se och uppleva film ochGoing to the Pictures The Cinema as a Meeting Place in the 1940s and 1950s Summary At the end of the 1950s, at roughly the same time as television became established, Sweden had the largest number of cinemas of any country in Europe. People went to the cinema in unprecedented numbers. In 1956 ticket sales in Swedish cinemas reached 80 million. There were palatial cinemas which offered people a f

The purpose of this paper is to briefly discuss the rationale for using Student Response Systems (SRS) and to share our experience of using this teaching technology in a training session. Our experiences support existing pedagogical research and show that SRS can be used to transform traditionally passive lecture-based classes into stimulating, active learning environments. Students demonstrate be

Numerous products from the food industry contain fruit and/or berries, in the form of fillings or ingredients, e. g. in yoghurt, some bread products/cereal products, ice cream, etc. In order to produce these ingredients and improve their characteristics, many processing techniques are available. This thesis focuses on dehydration methods that take into account the fragile and complex cellular tiss

Popular Abstract in Swedish Minnet är ofta korrekt, men också formbart, vilket kan leda till uppkomsten av illusoriska eller förvrängda minnen. Studiet av dessa erbjuder en intressant inblick i minnets grundläggande natur och klarlägger omständigheter som påverkar minnets grad av korrekthet. Denna doktorsavhandling har försökt belysa processer som ligger till grund för både riktiga och falska minnAlthough memory often serves us well, it can also prove highly unreliable. The study of illusions and distortions of memory unveils important information about the nature of human memory functioning and, moreover, factors affecting memory accuracy. By taking a cognitive neuroscience perspective, the present dissertation aimed at elucidating processes promoting both true and false remembering and t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kostfiber visar på gynnsamma effekter på blodsockersvar, inflammationsmarkörer och blodfetter utifrån tre humanstudier som genomfördes i detta arbete. I en av studierna analyserades blod och urin med metabolomik. Det är en metod där man analyserar alla små molekyler (metaboliter) som finns i provet med hjälp av vätskekromatografi kopplat till masspektrometri. Med hjälp It is well-known that dietary fibre can have a positive effect on the development of lifestyle-dependent diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, the effect may be different for different kinds of fibre and different sub-populations at risk. Therefore, the effects of three different kinds of fibre on postprandial and long-term response in healthy subjects were investig

The electronics in the automotive industry is facing a new era where safety critical functions are electrified, as for example drive-by-wire technology. At the same time as the number of electrical loads in the vehicles is increasing, the time to market is decreasing. Full scale prototypes of a vehicle are often only available at a late stage in the development process where changes are rather cos

For years tools and techniques such as Brainstorming, Mind-Maps and Rich Pictures have been used in both academic and professional practices to assist people with making sense of complex problem spaces. These tools have their supporters and in many cases their uses can be argued to be interchangeable. Seldom however have they been systematically applied in combination in theory or practice. Even t

A common assessment of postural control often involves subjects standing on a compliant surface, such as a foam block, to make balance tests more challenging. However, the physical properties of the foam block used by different researchers can vary considerably. The objective of this study was to provide an initial approach for investigating whether two of the foam properties, i.e. density and ela
