I Sverige finns många förorenade områden med klorerade lösningsmedel och Färgaren 3 i Kris-tianstad är ett av dem. Där har tidigare legat en kemtvätt som använt sig av PCE (Tetrakloreten), där spill och läck-age har förorenat stora delar av fastigheten. PCE och dess metaboliter har en tendens att förorena stora volymer, vilket gör dessa ämnen svåra att sanera. Detta mastersarbete inriktar sig på a
Due to large losses of seagrass meadows worldwide, restoration is proposed as a key strategy for increasing coastal resilience and recovery. The emergence of a seagrass meadow is expected to substantially amplify biodiversity and enhance benthic metabolism by increasing primary productivity and respiration. Nevertheless, open questions remain regarding the metabolic balance of aging seagrass meado
Visual systems adapt to different light environments through several avenues including optical changes to the eye and neurological changes in how light signals are processed and interpreted. Spectral sensitivity can evolve via changes to visual pigments housed in the retinal photoreceptors through gene duplication and loss, differential and coexpression, and sequence evolution. Frogs provide an ex
Objective: Ovarian carcinoma (OvCa) is more common in the elderly, but also affects the adolescent and young adult (AYA) generation, which refers to those aged 15–39 years. Although the characteristics of OvCa may differ between AYAs and non-AYAs, limited information is currently available on differences in prognostic factors. Therefore, we herein investigated prognostic factors for and the progno
OBJECTIVE: Nonmotor symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is negatively affected by different factors, of which pain and sleep disturbances are important contributors. This study was performed to evaluate and describe subjective experiences of pain, sleeping patterns, and HRQoL in a cohort of PD patients with chronic pain.METHODS: A total of 45 par
Background: Tracheal intubation is a high-risk procedure in the critically ill, with increased intubation failure rates and a high risk of other adverse events. Videolaryngoscopy might improve intubation outcomes in this population, but evidence remains conflicting, and its impact on adverse event rates is debated. Methods: This is a subanalysis of a large international prospective cohort of criti
The last mass-extinction event happened over 65 million years ago when an asteroid collided with earth, resulting in the loss of 76% of all species. Scientists now warn that we are on the precipice of a new mass-extinction, the responsibility of which can be placed entirely on one species, the homo sapiens. While some species of birds, bats, and arthropods are especially vulnerable, we are all int
Our decisions from the past affect the present time. The same is true of the decisions we make today. How do we want to see our local environment in the future? In the western part of Iceland there is an island called Brákarey. Brákarey is connected via bridge to the town of Borgarnes. Brákarey has played a variety of roles over the past years, but transport of people and goods was one of its bigg
In our everyday life we live distant from the origin of life itself - nature. Dramatic landscape and fascinating views touch us in a way that few other things manage to do. It is something that make us recognize our powerlessness and the feeling of awe towards the nature. Experiencing striking nature is a way to create a deeper understanding of our own world and at the same time enrich our lives w
We are daily moving in different landscapes for various reasons; sometimes we are looking for specific activities and sometimes just to move from one place to another. Common for this is the affect the landscape can have on us and how it gives us different experiences. In this essay I seek answers to what is important for people when they visit the nature for recreational purposes. What factors do
PowerPoint-presentation 2014-03-12 1 Föreläsning 2 Vad är moral? Om moralfilosofi är ”strävan att på ett systematiskt sätt förstå moralens natur och vad den kräver av oss”, vad är moralfilosofins ”studieobjekt”? Dvs. vad är det moralfilosofer filosoferar om? Det uppenbara svaret är naturligtvis ”moralen”: Men vad är moral för någonting? 2 3 Tyvärr finns det ingen allmänt accepterad definition

This thesis investigates how place can be understood through assemblage theory and what that implies for the understanding of human relation to place. The framework has been widely used outside and within human geography, at a few instances related to place. Exploring place as assemblage is done through a case study of S:t Pauli cemeteries in Malmö. Main methods are walk along interviews and obser
III-V semiconductors are a profound part of the optoelectronics industry and new developments in alloy compositions and architectures are constantly emerging. Lowdimensional semiconductors, such as nanowires (NWs) have shown to have improved characteristics in certain areas such as enhanced light absorption and can furthermore be integrated on Silicon (Si) plattforms and are thus predicted to be a
This thesis clarifies how the management of contaminated excavation soils can be made more sustainable and circular by applying in-situ techniques. Its aim is to map existing and emerging remediation methods, identify technical, legal and economic obstacles, and quantify potential climate and cost benefits, giving industry stakeholders a sound basis for increasing local treatment and reuse of soil
Due to the climate crisis we are facing, we can no longer consider current construction methods, which contribute to 40% of global CO₂ emissions, as an alternative to building. Vernacular architecture, in comparison, offers a sustainable alternative. People have experimented with this approach to designing, constructing, and living throughout time. This system essentially stands for maximizing eff
