Today plant-based alternatives to animal-agricultural products are made available or developed alongside ‘cultured’ meat, and products utilising genetic modification. To proponents, this signifies the emergence of ‘cellular agriculture’ as a food-production field or the possibility of a ‘post-animal bioeconomy’: a way to safely and sustainably produce animal products without animals. Drawing on pr

Nodularia spumigena is a toxic cyanobacteria that blooms in the Baltic Sea every year. In the brackish water of the Baltic Sea, its toxin, nodularin, mainly affects the biota in the surface water due to the natural buoyancy of this species. However, the fate of the toxin is unknown, once the cyanobacteria bloom enters the more saline waters of the Kattegat. In order to investigate this knowledge g

People with repeated rapid meal ingestion have been reported to have increased risk of insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and obesity. To explore whether speed of eating a breakfast influences the postprandial rise of glucose, insulin and the incretin hormones, 24 healthy subjects (12 men and 12 women, mean age 62 years) ingested a standardized solid breakfast consisting of 524 kcal (6

Testicular germ cell cancer is preceded by a pre-invasive stage called carcinoma-in-situ (CIS). The majority, if not all cases of CIS will progress into invasive cancer. Today, the only reliable way of diagnosing CIS is by performing open testicular biopsy. There is an ongoing search for non-invasive techniques for diagnosing early testicular neoplasia. The possibility of using ultrasound of the t

Notwithstanding the wealth of research on migration and subjective wellbeing, the issue of moonlighting and its welfare implication among migrants has not been thoroughly explored in empirical literature. Using rich individual-level panel data from the University of Cape Town’s National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), this study established a number of interesting findings: (a) there is moonlighting

The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) ground-based gamma-ray observatory will open up our view of the very high energy Universe, offering an improvement in sensitivity of 5-10 times that of previous experiments. NectarCAM is one of the proposed cameras for the Medium-Sized Telescopes (MST) which have been designed to cover the core energy range of CTA, from 100 GeV to 10 TeV. The final came

The chapter examines what peace looks like from the working levels of the Nordic countries. Several researchers have proclaimed a common Nordic approach to peace and conflict resolution “dead”. However, through interviews focusing on the working level, we find that the Nordics in fact work very closely together in practice, especially in the field in conflict-affected areas. This work is generally

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 inhibitor protein (C1-INH) deficiency was recently shown to be associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This is the first national family study of HAE with the aim to determine the familial risk of VTE. The Swedish Multi-Generation Register was linked to the Swedish National Patient Register during the period 1964-2018. Only HAE patients

Background: Growing evidence indicates that young migrants are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, however most research has focused on instances of sexual violence occurring in conflict zones and during transit. Much less attention has been given to the vulnerabilities to and experiences of sexual violence among young migrants in Europe.Objectives: To understand the scientific evidence re

Problembeskrivning: Lagerverksamhet utgör en central del i att uppnå en konkurrenskraftig försörjningskedja och betraktas som direkt avgörande för ett företags framgång, eller utebliven sådan. Det är en dyr verksamhet, och en stor del av ett företags totala logistikkostnader kan hänvisas direkt till lagret. Följaktligen finns det ett behov för lager att prestera jämnare, snabbare och mer precist. Problem description: Warehousing is central in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, and considered essential for the success, or failure, of businesses today. In general, warehouses account for a large share of the company logistics costs. Consequently, there is a need for warehouses to operate smoother, faster and more accurate. Within warehousing, the most labor-intensive and costly ware

Addressing key environmental concerns during humanitarian assistance is critical to prevent additional hazards, reduce risks, and to not further increase the vulnerability of disaster-affected populations. However, the environment remains an underappreciated cross-cutting issue within the humanitarian sector and efforts to systematically integrate environmental concerns into humanitarian assistanc

Voice impersonation is a technique that has often been used by criminals whose goal is to avoid being identified while committing a crime. There are, however, other interesting cases where the police confronts a suspect with an incriminating recording, and the suspect would deny being the true speaker in that recording, and claim that it belonged to an expert impersonator. In both of these cases,

Ansvarsdebatten som följde av Transportstyrelsens it-affär 2017 inspirerade min frågeställning. Den lyder: Är det lämpligt att utkräva ansvar av statsråd för brister i förvaltningsmyndigheters verksamhet genom misstroendeför-klaring? Frågeställningen avgränsas genom att utgå från Ahlbäcks tre krite-rier angående ansvarsutkrävning. Dessa lyder: någon ska kunna urskiljas som ansvarig, kunskap ska fiThe IT-case of the Swedish Transport Office in 2017 combined with the debate that followed on accountability inspired my question. The question reads as follows: Is it appropriate to hold cabinet ministers accountable for deficiencies in administrative authority activities through a motion of cen-sure? This question is answered by using Ahlbäck’s three criteria for ac-countability. These read: som

In many parts of the world, people within the lgbtqi+ community are forced to leave their countries and flee to a new one. This is a consequence of legislation and societal norms that criminalize and expose the group to threats and violence. Because of this, individuals from all over the world seek rescue in Sweden and therefore apply for asylum based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The

I arbetet undersöks vilka skyldigheter som vårdgivare har att tillhandahålla tolk inom hälso- och sjukvården när personer inte behärskar svenska, samt vilka som har möjlighet att bestämma om avgift för tolktjänster, utifrån svensk lagstiftning och internationell rätt. Skyldigheterna enligt inhemsk rätt undersöks utifrån Hälso- och sjukvårdslagen, Patientlagen, Patientsäkerhetslagen och FörvaltningThe thesis examines the obligations of healthcare providers to provide language interpreters, as well as who has the authority to decide on fees for interpreter services, based on Swedish legislation and international law. Domestic obligations are examined under the Health and Medical Services Act, the Patient Act, the Patient Safety Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. Obligations under inte

The HIE-ISOLDE post accelerator at CERN has recently come online, en- abling the use of radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u. An active target gaseous detector is under development for use in some of the experiments. The first investigation of the electron amplification stage with gas electron multipliers has been performed. To this end, a small prototype GEM detector was built an

Unlike commonly used regular transformers, high voltage, high frequency, pulsed transformers are generally represented in special purpose applications. This often means that these electrical devices must be tailored in accordance with the specic requirements of the project. The pulse transformer under analysis in this thesis is a prototype machine variation of which will serve as an essential part

Technology contributes to the modern economic development directly and indirectly, and it changes the operating system and working method during the economic transformation. Along with institutional reform and modern economic structural transformation of China, agriculture still plays an ineradicable role in the development of Chinese economy, and it is the cornerstone for countries with large pop
