Popularvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Storkprojektet i Skåne – nutid och framtid Den vita storken (Ciconia ciconia) har varit utdöd i Sverige sedan 1954. Orsaken till storkens försvinnande tros ha varit en kombination av utdikningar av våtmarker, ökad dödlighet samt en generellt nedåtgående trend hos storkpopulationerna i övriga Europa. Sedan 1989 pågår ett återintroduceringsförsök i Skåne. Genom Abstract: In 1954 the last breeding attempt by the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in Sweden failed and the species was declared extinct from the Swedish fauna. Reasons for the extinction are thought to be a combination of issues such as habitat conversion, increased mortality and an overall decline of the European White Stork populations. Since 1989 an ongoing reintroduc-tion programme for the Whi

Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a

Kan simuleringsmodeller förbättra diagnostik av förändringar i höftens anatomi hos barn? Anatomiska förändringar i höftleden kan drabba barn i olika åldrar. En följd av detta kan vara att belastningen i höften ändras, vilket kan öka risken för artros. Att undersöka och behandla förändringar i höftens anatomi hos barn är viktigt för att förhindra komplikationer senare i livet. Höftleden är en viOsteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. This thesis aimed to build subject-specific computer models of the hip joint to fi

I uppsatsen diskuteras och jämförs förslagsorganen och domarutnämning i Sverige (Domarnämnden), Norge (Innstillingsrådet for dommere) och Dan-mark (Dommerudnævnelsesrådet). Fokuset ligger främst på förslagsorganen, men i och med deras roll diskuteras även domarutnämningen i sin helhet. Särskild hänsyn tas till hur de förhåller sig till grundlag, maktfördelning och folksuveränitet. I uppsatsen besThis thesis is a comparative study between advisory councils and their roles in the appointment process of judges in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The advisory councils are the Judges Proposals Board in Sweden (“Domarnämnden”), Judicial Appointments Council in Denmark (“Dommerudnævnelsesrådet”), and Judicial Appointment’s Board in Norway (“Innstillingsrådet for Dommere”). In the thesis, four quest

Since 2002, UNHCR has been updating its registration practices by e.g. implementing a unified data system, the Project Profile, and the use of biometrics. Large groups of refugees now have to leave their fingerprints as well as other personal data with the organisation, to be stored and subsequently used to e.g. verify their identity. This modernisation campaign has been encouraged and financially

The GATT/WTO has not been covered in any of the compulsory subjects in the law programme, and there are no electives on the subject. This is something that should be made clear already at the outset, because it puts the thesis in the right perspective. Like all other law students, I knew nothing about the subject when I started to work on the thesis, and even now, my expertise only dates back a fe

This thesis concerns the importance of judicial review system in safeguarding human rights. It examines different review systems on international level, regional level and domestic level. In the second half of the thesis, China, as a specially targeted country, has been examined in better detail of its judicial review system. The aim of this thesis is to, through introduction of, and comparison wi

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether a new rule of customary international law has evolved that allows for an exception to the Head of State immunity regarding the perpetration of international crimes. In the legal literature and in codification attempts the view has been expressed that this new rule already exists. This thesis investigates whether this is a correct interpretation

The issue of measures which are sensitive from a privacy perspective appears to be rather unregulated in Swedish law. Lately the question has been the subject of intense discussions and in 2008 a proposition of a future law is expected. At present time the current rules are found in the Personal Data Act, the law concerning general video surveillance and labour principles such as employer's su

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries

Since the beginning of African decolonisation in the mid-twentieth century, many newly independent countries struggled to embark upon a path of sustained economic growth to raise their populations out of poverty. One of these countries is Tanzania. Surrounded by the Great Lakes on the west and bordering the Indian Ocean to the east, Tanzania is the fifth-most populous country in Africa. It is also

Proteomics is widely utilized to understand the function of cellular processes at the molecular level. Using liquid chromatography interfaced with mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based proteomics, thousands of proteins can be identified and quantified in a single experiment and their relationship and interactions can be analyzed. This makes the analysis of high-throughput proteomics data a cornerstone i

Plastic – the lightweight, flexible material created by humans – has been an amazing invention that changed the world and made us totally dependent on it. The past century saw the development of a number of synthetic plastic materials with different chemistries and properties suited for myriad applications unparalleled by any other natural material. However, the plastics are currently in focus not

Today’s high demand on finding sustainable energy sources, replacing petroleum-based products and the needfor healthier food alternatives have forced us to search for natural recoverable resources and explore their manyhidden applications. One such resource is xylan, which has gained much attention as possible raw material forvarious exploitations. However, its wider industrial application puts de

BackgroundInterventions that are co-created with end-users, and that are informed by behavior change or implementation theories, support implementation in real world settings. However, injury prevention programs for youth athletes have typically been developed by experts with no, or insufficiently described, end-user involvement and without guidance by theories. The aim of the current study was to

This paper proposes an examination of the intersections of materiality, acoustics, and musical performance practice through the prism of instruments of the tuba family.[*] Investigation into the symbiotic relationship between instrumental evolution and performance practice is a crucial facet of any study of timbre and orchestration. The development of musical objects to produce the sound colors de

Category housing is an example of forms of housing that belong to the organized work of providing residences for persons who for diverse reasons cannot obtain them on the ordinary housing market. In the organizing of the practical social work that is carried out for this purpose, categorization serves as an important tool for connecting the available housing alternatives with the individuals who s

Importance: Cutaneous malignant neoplasms are the most common subsequent neoplasm after blood or marrow transplant (BMT), but a full assessment among survivors is lacking. Objective: To identify risk factors for subsequent cutaneous malignant neoplasms using the BMT Survivor Study (BMTSS). Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent transplant

Context. Phosphorus (P) is considered to be one of the key elements for life, making it an important element to look for in the abundance analysis of spectra of stellar systems. Yet, only a select number of spectroscopic studies exist to estimate the phosphorus abundances and investigate its trend across a range of metallicities. This is due to the lack of good phosphorus lines in the optical wave

Estimates indicate that the global cancer burden may be ever-increasing. Gastric cancer is one of the major cancer forms. Despite its declining incidence, the high mortality of gastric cancer makes it the third most common cause of cancer-related death. Esophageal cancer is less common, but the incidence is increasing in parts of the world. Although some progress has been made in the treatment of
