Den så kallade Standardmodellen är allmänt betraktad som den mest framgångsrika fysikaliska teorin. Den förklarar de allra minsta partiklarna i vårt universum med enorm precision. Tyvärr är den ofullständig. Den förklarar inte vad mörk energi eller mörk materia är. Den förklarar inte varför det finns mer materia än antimateria. Den förklarar inte ens vad gravitation är. Trots alla dessa problem ha

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskor arbetar i en högteknologisk miljö med mycket engångsmaterial av plast. Anestesislangar som används är av plast och ofta avsedda för engångsbruk. Enligt ICN:s etiska kod ska alla sjuksköterskor arbeta för FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling, att minska plastanvändningen är en central fråga. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans uppfat

Sustainability Reporting (SR) has hitherto been discretionary in most Asian countries; however, a new paradigm – mandatory SR – is emerging in South Korea, provoked by the EU’s SR regulation, Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Korean government plans to enforce SR legislation in 2025, targeting large firms. However, little is known

A novel method for the fabrication of a light-weight solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been evaluated at Catator. This was conducted in order to lower the weight and thus cost of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The main aim for this thesis was to achieve a thin, dense and crack-free electrolyte using a ceramic fibre paper as substrate. This paper was impregnated with colloidal solutions and pressed to

According to traditional trade theory, trade reduces inequality between the rich and the poor. However, since the beginning of the 1980s, a constantly rise in within-country inequality has been observed in many developed and developing countries. With the rapidly increasing globalization during the same period in mind, a natural question to ask is whether the two phenomenon are linked. In this pap

The role and activities of the European Court of Justice (EJC) have been discussed for couple of decades now. Without any doubt the role that ECJ fulfils today in the European Community is not what it was in the beginning of its existence and perhaps not even what was strictly prescribed by the EC Treaty. In the present thesis will be firstly examined, how the present role of the ECJ, as a quasi-c

Sammanfattning Titel: Miljöredovisning i börsnoterade företag år 2000 Ämne: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi 10 poäng Författare: Camilla Björk och Lislott Borglin Handledare: Fredrik Ljungdahl Syfte: Vi avser att beskriva och analysera svenska börsföretags miljöredovisning i monetära termer i årsredovisningar och miljöredovisningar avseende räkenskapsåret 2000.

Several interactions of cytokines with extracellular matrix molecules are mediated by proteoglycans, such as biglycan and decorin. Using surface plasmon resonance, we show for the first time that tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) binds to both biglycan and decorin with K(d)s of 0.81 microM and 1.23 microM respectively, a binding that was confirmed by Scatchard plots using a solid phase assa

Aim: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is common after anterior resection (AR). Long term clinical outcomes of AL including late presenting leakage (LL) are not well studied. This study was undertaken to assess clinical features of LL with respect to incidence, association with predisposing factors and need for re-intervention. Methods: The Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry (SCRCR) was explored for AL cas

The Zvejnieki burial ground in northern Latvia is one of the largest concentrations of burials from the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Northern Europe. The 308 burials, dominated by primary inhumation, excavated in the 1960s and 1970s have become important references for understanding the hunter-gatherer mortuary practices in the region. Recent excavations, implementing a taphonomy-focused archaeotha

In recent years, air ventilation garments (AVG) have been reported effective to improve thermal comfort. In this study, an AVG incorporated with small fans was investigated on torso thermal comfort in moderate environment (Ta=25 °C, RH=50 %). Eight female subjects walked on the treadmill at a speed of 4 km·h−1 for 30 min and then rested for another 30 min. During the whole test protocol, the AVG w

The effect of primary vestibular disturbance on postural control was investigated in 11 normal subjects exposed to perturbation by bi-polar binaural galvanic stimulation of the vestibular nerve. The stimulus consisted of 30 s of sinusoidal galvanic stimulation at frequencies of 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 Hz, with a current of +/- 1 mA, the subject standing with open or closed eyes a

An increasing demand for dairy products with long shelf-life is foreseen. A limiting factor for maintaining high quality of these products is the activity of spoilage enzymes during storage. Lipase and protease activities in Swedish raw milk at farm and dairy level were investigated, analysing milk samples from three geographical regions and two seasons. Lipase activity in milk at farm level was a
