Urban Sprawl is one of the challenges to urban development in many nations. Different aspects of the phenomenon have been researched with a view to providing solutions to myriad of ills attributed to it. For any meaningful intervention, however, assessment of development to ascertain sprawl is essential. Despite this, its quantification and monitoring in environment with paucity of data remains a
Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and
Kronisk Obstruktiv Lungsjukdom (KOL) utvecklas successivt och är en av de vanligaste lungsjukdomarna. Det är ca 8 procent av svenska befolkningen som är 50 år och äldre som lever med sjukdomen KOL. Sjukdomen påverkar kroppen på många olika vis och kan därmed ha inflytande på människans vardagliga aktiviteter. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka aktiviteters betydelse för den upplevda livskva
This report is about further development of a test rig called the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Test Rig, called the DMRC Test Rig. A method for testing pneumatic valves,used in the systems for train brakes and called brake valves, was developed.The main objective was to automatize the testing of all existing and future developed pneumatic brake valves, made by the company Faiveley Transport, using
Termen patologiskt rus är en äldre psykiatrisk diagnos som inte används idag inom rättspsykiatrin eftersom det saknas tillräckligt forskningsstöd för att tillståndet existerar. I juridisk mening utgör ett patologiskt rus ett kortvarigt psykotiskt tillstånd utlöst av alkohol. Ett patologiskt rus omfattas av en allvarlig psykisk störning i 30:6 BrB om tillståndet inte anses självförvållat föreliggerThe term pathological intoxication is an older psychiatric diagnosis that is not currently used in Swedish psychiatry because there is not enough research to support that the condition exists. In legal terms a pathological intoxication is defined as a short-term psychotic state triggered by alcohol consumption. A pathological intoxication is included in the criterion severe mental disorder in chap
”Den som sa det han var det”. Ett klassiskt svenskt ordspråk företrädelsevis populärt bland barn att dra till med när argumentationen tagit slut i en hetsig diskussion. Men också en ypperlig titel på denna uppsats då den ger uttryck för en mycket vanlig uppfattning; den som erkänner brott måste också vara skyldig till detsamma. I Rättegångsbalken stadgas det att ett erkännande i brottmål endast tj"Den som sa det han var det." A classic Swedish saying, especially popular amongst children when found themselves run out of arguments in a heated discussion. But also an excellent title for this paper as it reflects a very common belief; the one who confesses a crime must also be guilty of the same. The Swedish law states that a confession in criminal cases only serve as evidence, which
Successfully predicting the future states of systems that are complex, stochastic, and potentially chaotic is a major challenge. Model forecasting error (FE) is the usual measure of success; however model predictions provide no insights into the potential for improvement. In short, the realized predictability of a specific model is uninformative about whether the system is inherently predictable o
OBJECTIVE: The potential association between thyroid hormones and breast cancer has been investigated in a large number of studies without conclusive results. This study investigated T3 levels in relation to breast cancer mortality in a population with no breast cancer patients at baseline. An additional aim was to study T3 levels in relation to mortality from other cancers and all-cause mortality
Seventy-three Swedish blood donors (52 men, 21 women; median age 36 years) repeatedly reactive for hepatitis C antibodies (anti-HCV C-100-3) were tested with a second-generation (2nd-gen) anti-HCV Elisa and a 4-band recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA 2). These results were correlated to serum alanine aminotransferase (S-ALAT), liver morphology and viremia as detected by 'nested' polymerase chain r
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are structurally heterogeneous negatively charged polysaccharides. Endothelial GAGs, also known as glycocalyx, are involved in capillary permeability. In rat venules stimulated with proinflammatory substances ex vivo, the GAG-containing proteoglycan, syndecan-1, is shed from the endothelium. We wanted to investigate if we could trace the same response during septic shock

Background: Treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis is challenging. Unloader braces have been developed with various success. Unloader One® Knee Brace is light, easily-fitted and shown to be effective by the unloading of the affected compartment. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical outcome of the brace vs. a placebo on patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Initially 150 pa
Background: Emergency medical dispatching should be as accurate as possible in order to ensure patient safety and optimize the use of ambulance resources. This study aimed to compare the accuracy, measured as priority level, between two Swedish dispatch protocols - the three-graded priority protocol Medical Index and a newly developed prototype, the four-graded priority protocol, RETTS-A. Methods:
Carbonyl exchange between [MX(3)((CO)-C-13)](-) (MX = PdCl, PtCl or PtBr) and (CO)-C-12 has been studied by IR and C-13 NMR spectroscopies as a function of temperature. The exchange is first-order in both CO and complex concentration, and the activation entropies are negative, suggesting an associative reaction mechanism. There is a small solvent effect. but no chloride dependence. Activation para
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience high rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and death that are not fully explained by traditional risk factors. In animal studies, defective cellular cholesterol efflux pathways which are mediated by the ATP binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that c
Background: Sociodemographic and spatial disparities in incidence and mortality burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) are important to consider in the implementation of population screening, in order to achieve expected benefit and not increase health inequities. Analytic methods should be adapted to provide rational support for targeted interventions. Methods: CRC incidence rates by tumor stage (I-IV
Background: To be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is a challenge for every patient. There are previous studies on patients' experience in general but not addressing the increased cardiovascular risk and multifactorial treatment. The aim of this study was to explore the thoughts, experiences and reactions of newly diagnosed patients with diabetes to this diagnosis and to the risk of developing compl
