© 2018 The Author(s). Urolithiasis (UL, urinary tract stone disease) has been reported to increase subsequent cancers in the urinary tract. Recently, we showed data that surveillance bias may be an important confounder in the reported associations. In the present approach we want to address the question of possible cancer risk posed by UL mechanistically. Both UL and cancer have strong genetic com
When designing novel technology, many of the important design decisions tend to be taken early in the process, which is also when it is usually easier to modify the design. Thus, it is important to learn as much as possible, as early as possible in any design process. This work is carried out within the EU project ABILITY, which aims at developing novel refreshable tactile displays. Previously, we

Det får anses vara allmänt vedertaget att barn är en särskilt utsatt grupp världen över. Vid en bedömning av barns utsatthet är faktorer såsom flyktingskap och sjukdom av relevans. Sjuka flyktingbarn är således alldeles särskilt sårbara. Förståelsen för detta bör genomsyra all lagstiftning som rör barn, där barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet. Denna uppsats har haft till syfte att undersökIt is generally accepted that children are a particularly vulnerable group all over the world. When assessing childrens’ vulnerability, factors such as health and refugee status are very important ones, meaning sick children are to be considered as very exposed. The understanding of this should permeate every law concering children, where the best interest of the child should be put first. The p
For historical reasons, Swedish railways use 15 kV/16? Hz overhead contact lines for train traction, while the most common standard worldwide is 25 kV/50-60 Hz. This leads to higher investment costs for railway conversions and expansions, and to greater energy losses in the distribution of electricity to the trains. Yet to get away from these drawbacks by investing in a 25 kV/50 Hz overhead contac
Tvångsvis marköverföring är oftast förknippat med expropriation. Tvångsvis marköverföring är dock möjlig med stöd av andra lagar varav fastighetsbildningslagen är en. För att en marköverföring ska kunna ske utan att alla inblandade är med på det behöver vissa allmänna och särskilda villkor vara uppfyllda. Enligt egendomsskyddet i den svenska grundlagen och EKMR måste ett tvångsvis ingrepp i annansForced land transfer is usually associated with expropriation. However, forced land transfer is possible with the support of other laws, of which the real estate formation law is one. In order for a land transfer to be possible without everyone involved participating in it, certain general and special conditions need to be fulfilled. According to the property protection in the Swedish Constitution
Asset prices have had larger and more rapid increases since 1980 when compared to the post-war period, especially compared to the Bretton Woods period. In this thesis we test whether the excess elasticity view provides a plausible explanation for this change. The excess elasticity view, put forth by Borio and Disyatat (2011) and Borio and White (2003), argues that the financial system has become m
The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers look at the boundaries between their private sphere and working hours. Furthermore, it is intended to study how social workers look at work-related situations that may occur in their leisure time and how they handle them. The selection of respondents consisted of social workers who had a social education and had a regular professional con
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
This master thesis aims at improving vehicle positioning in high-speed movement scenarios where global navigation satellite system (GNSS) does not work well. The standard 802.11p, as one of the WiFi family members, it can support to share vehicle information between vehicle and vehicle or between vehicle and infrastructure in a high-speed movement environment. Without the help of GNSS, the vehicle
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur, och under vilka omständigheter, könsfördelning i ledningsgruppen påverkar företags lönsamhet i forskningsintensiva branscher. Vi föreslår att innovationsförmåga utgör en mellanliggande variabel i sambandet mellan könsfördelning i ledningsgruppen och lönsamhet. Metod: En tvärsnittsstudie utförs där vi genomför en kvantitativ analys på 291 fPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how, and under what circumstances, gender diversity in top management teams affect firm performance in R&D intensive industries. We suggest innovation capabilities as a mediator in the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance. Methodology: A cross-sectional study is conducted based on quantitative data of 291 compani
Understanding and being able to quantify sitting postures is a central asset in car safety evaluations. This is due to the fact that passengers can choose a range of different sitting positions. Studying and understanding how passengers choose to sit to obtain some comfort is important for increased safety in futures cars and is particularly challenging facing a heterogeneous population. Data is a
As the air quality in urban environments is a rising problem, a deeper understanding of how air pollution is dependent on different factors is necessary. In these environments, there are different parameters that effect how the chemical reactions of the pollutants are proceeding. Here the parameters solar radiation, temperature, humidity, emission factors and background concentrations of gaseous a
Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om det i svensk rätt finns ett humanitärt undantag från straffbarheten vid människosmuggling och organiserande av människosmuggling. Att något sådant undantag skulle finnas stöds inte av bestämmelsernas ordalydelse men däremot av vissa uttalanden i förarbeten och praxis. Det sägs på flera ställen i både förarbeten och praxis att den inte är straffbart att av endast ideelIn this thesis it is investigated if there, in the Swedish legislation, is a humanitarian exception concerning punishability in human smuggling and organization of human smuggling. That such an exception exists is not supported by the letter of the law but of certain statements in the preparatory work and the case law. It is said in both preparatory work and the case law that it is not punishable
The study examined social workers experiences in their work with adolescents in out-of-home care, focused on sexuality. The aim of the study was to understand their experiences with a constructionist perspective on sexuality and with a focus on the organizational context that the experiences were formed in. These perspectives were selected with the ambition to achieve an extensive view of the stud
In many applications involving mobile devices it is essential to track their position. Moreover, it is usually desired, to perform this localization in a distributed fashion without using a central processing unit. In this case, only distance measurements to reference nodes which are in range can be utilized. It is proposed in this thesis to also use distance measurements to other moving objects,
The cooperation between the bridge team members onboard merchant vessel has been given considerable attention since the mid 90´s when the focus on non-technical skills (NTS) was adopted from the aviation industry. In the maritime industry NTS training is called Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training and was introduced to avoid single person errors resulting in accidents. Initially the focus on

Labour markets in Europe are changing from permanent employment to more flexible structures. Atypical work such as temporary work become more prevalent. In Germany, there is a high share of temporary work contracts within social work. The aim of this study was to understand what temporary employment means for the employees and which effect it has on the lives of the employees. The chosen method fo
Sopberg, en bestående klimatbov eller en källa till förnybar energi? Produktionen av metanrik gas, kallat deponigas, inuti deponier är den näst största källan till utsläpp av metan till atmosfären i Sverige. Metan är en kraftig växthusgas, 28 gånger starkare än CO2 och för att minska utsläppen från deponier är det idag lagkrav i Sverige på att samla upp gasen. Den uppsamlade gasen facklas ofta seWhen organic material is deposited at a landfill it is decomposed over time by microorganisms to form a gas mixture consisting of mainly methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen called landfill gas. To limit the environmental impact from this gas there is a requirement in Sweden today that all landfills which have accepted or are accepting organic material to be equipped with a gas collection system a
