The project began with the thought of how humans will be able to adapt to impending climate change. I sought to create a tool that encourages self-reliance, because this will be extremely beneficial in times of crisis. Sea level rise is particularly disastrous result of global warming, and has the potential to displace millions of people from their homes. How will we be able to cover our most bas
This project aimed to develop a vegan high-protein probiotic drink with two different tastes. The protein used should have similar quality as whey, amino acid score (AAS) 1.0. One aim was also to detect necessary processing steps. The protein sources studied for this application were oat, pea, pea+rice, hydrolyzed pea, soy, and potato. The protein sources were evaluated based on descriptive sensor
Uppsatsen undersöker vilka faktorer som bidragit till konstruktionen av häxan som kvinnlig, och kvinnans roll som offer för de större trolldomsprocesserna i Sverige. Brottet, i form av skadlig trolldom, har en lång historia av straffbarhet även om det är först på andra halvan av 1600-talet som större förföljelser tar form. Den drabbar huvudsakligen kvinnor. Anklagelserna spred sig i området kringThis essay examines the aspects contributing to the construction of the witch as a female, and the role women played as victims during the larger which-trials in Sweden. Harmful magic had a long history as a crime within Swedish legislation, however, it is not until later in the 17th century persecutions occurs on a greater scale. The victims were female, with only a few exceptions. Accusations s
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning. Skadan drabbar oftast medelålders och äldre kvinnor. Skelettet blir skörare hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet, vilket lättare leder till ett benbrott. Medan brott på lårbenshalsen oftast drabABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden. Further
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den arbetsrehabilitering som traditionellt erbjuds personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning kan beskrivas som en trappa där varje steg består av olika åtgärder för att öka personernas arbetsförmåga. Målet är att personerna successivt skall bli friskare, öka sin funktionsnivå och utveckla fler färdigheter innan de kan ta steget ut till ett konkurrensutsatt arbete. För pIn the light of the limited research on the subject of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in a Swedish context, this thesis has contributed with knowledge of the effectiveness and experiences of IPS among persons with severe mental illness (SMI) living in Sweden. The thesis has also provided information about the work motivation among those persons with SMI who seek vocational support by IPS.
Background: Transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease; it increases survival and quality of life, while being more cost-effective than dialysis. It is, however, limited by the scarcity of kidneys. The aim of this paper is to investigate the fairness of the priority setting process underpinning Swedish kidney transplantation in reference to the Accountability for Reason
Car sharing is promoted as one alternative to decrease emissions from personal transport in cities. Most emission assessments have focused on the production and use phase of car sharing, but few have focused on the impacts of changes in consumption. In this article I assess changes in the total output from various sectors and in the carbon footprint of car sharing users from a consumption perspect
Recording and analysing groundwater level data can reveal the nature and extension of groundwater processes like flow direction and recharge magnitude. The analyses can even indicate the influence of precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff on the subsurface processes. However, such analyses are only possible when the recorded data cover relatively large periods of time at a suitable frequency
Vombsjön är en sjö belägen I sydvästra Skåne som fyller en viktig roll som dricksvattenreservoar. Sjöns avrinningsområde består till ca 70% av jordbruksmark vilket har medfört långvarig påverkan på vattenkvaliteten från lokalt näringsläckage. I dagsläget finns ingen lokalt anpassad förvaltningsplan för Vombsjön utan den förvaltas utifrån den regionala förvaltningsplan som gäller för hela SödrLake Vomb is situated in the southwest of Skåne, Sweden, and is important due to its role as drinking water reservoir. The lake is situated in highly cultivated farmland and is highly influenced by nutrient rich run-off water. There is no locally adapted water management plan for lake Vomb and the lake is currently managed under a regional water management plan which covers the entire Southern B
North America, Western Europe, China, and India are today the greatest emitters of carbon dioxide. This research aims to compare the development of North America and Western Europe with the Chinese and Indian ones. It is a comparison of the key factors that affects the emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels. The key factors are the ones proposed by the Kaya identity, a particular type of decomposition
We address the social sustainability dimension of labor-intensive industrialization (LII) and manufacturing activities and apply it to the analysis of Mauritius, a regional forerunner in textile and garment production. While the country is commonly seen as an African success story, we do not evaluate its trajectory against traditional economic theory on achieving sustained growth. Instead, we anal
Objectives There is evidence that emergency department (ED) crowding is associated with increased mortality, however large multicenter studies of high quality are scarce. In a prior study, we introduced a proxy-measure for crowding that was associated with increased mortality. The national registry SVAR enables us to study the association in a more heterogenous group of EDs with more recent data.
This book is about how sustainability criteria may be used in a legal framework, with the purpose to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their production. The research and analysis in the book are conducted on the basis of the EU approach to use sustainability criteria for biofuels in the transport sector, legally expressed in Directive 2009/28/EC, and its amendments in Directive 2015/1
Introduction: Although the group of vascular leg amputated patients constitutes some of the most vulnerable and frail on the orthopedic wards, previous research of amputated patients has focused on patients attending gait training in rehabilitation facilities leaving the patient experience shortly after surgery unexplored. Understanding patients' behavior shortly after amputation could inform heal
