Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla kemikalier vi använder oss av och utsätter oss för påverkar både oss och den omvärld vi lever i. Under hela sin livscykel har de en påverkan på miljön, från de att man utvinner råmaterialen, när de tillverkas och när vi använder dem. Till och med efter att vi använt dem har kemikalierna en påverkan på miljön. Det gäller både schampot som följer med duschvattnet ut It is of at most importance that society reduces its impact on the environment. In the chemical industry the use of renewable resources will play a fundamental role in the transition to more sustainable chemical products. Also industrial biotechnology, i.e. the use of enzymes to convert raw material into valuable chemicals at low temperatures, leads to more sustainable processes. The research pres

BackgroundIn light of the opioid epidemic in the United States, there is growing concern about the use of opioids in Sweden as it may lead to misuse and overuse and, in turn, severe public health problems. However, little is known about the distribution of opioid use across different demographic and socioeconomic dimensions in the Swedish general population. Therefore, we applied an intersectional

In the licentiate thesis my starting point is the Social Service Act and specifically, chapter 6, paragraph 5 which directs one to primarily consider the suitability of placing a child with a relative or a person known to the family. The objective of the thesis is to examine how the topic concerning placement with relatives arose and how the regulation reflects on child care within social work. An

Many contemporary work organizations are concerned with how they can influence employees’ intrinsic motivation. Their quest follows a widespread realization that people do not necessarily work harder because of monetary incentives or direct commands. Instead, people’s inner motives, their urge to self-realize and get recognition, are seen as key factors influencing workers’ mindsets and behaviors.

The East African Rift Valley contains a number of soda lakes, which represent some of the most stable, naturally occurring alkaline environments on earth. Alkaliphilic microorganisms found in these habitats have attracted a great interest due to their ability to produce extracellular enzymes that are active and stable at high pH values for industrial applications. Starch hydrolysing alkaliphilic b

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett material som utsätts för varierande last, även under gränslasten för statisk kollaps, riskerar att utveckla sprickor som i sin tur kan orsaka brott. Denna typ av materialnedbrytning kallas utmattning och är ett ständigt aktuellt forskningsområde. Väldigt korta sprickor är kända för att växa på ett sätt som avviker från hur längre utmattningssprickor beter sig, ävenThe growth of short fatigue cracks deviates from the behaviour of long fatigue cracks even if subjected to the same nominal driving force. The influence from the microstructure is pronounced, while crack closure effects may not be that important as for longer cracks. The objective of this thesis is to study the local conditions for crack growth for two different short crack problems, and to develo

The research presented in this thesis is focused on characterization of photophysical properties of lowest singlet excited states of carotenoids and their functions in the process of photosynthetic light harvesting. It is shown that the various light-harvesting complexes utilize different strategies to achieve efficient energy transfer from carotenoids to (bacterio)chlorophylls. Any study of energ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föräldrars involvering i skolan har under de senaste decennierna betonats allt mer i skoldebatten. Länge betraktades skolutbildning som enbart ett samhälleligt ansvar, vilket ofta medförde ett markerat avståndstagande från familjen och föräldrarna. Likt andra samhälleliga servicefunktioner har emellertid också skolan i sitt förhållande till sina användare undergått en fOver the last two decades, educational reforms have stimulated an enormous growth in innovative school thinking, effecting both independent schools and mainstream education. Parents and interest groups, previously excluded from general pedagogic practice and planning, are now faced with new opportunities and responsibilities. Parents “invest” in these newly won options in very different ways. Fail

Two-photon-induced Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing, DFWM, was applied for the first time to the detection of CO, and NH3 molecules. Measurements were performed in a cell, and in atmospheric-pressure flames. In the cell measurements, the signal dependence on the pressure and on the laser beam intensity was studied. The possibility of simultaneous detection of NH3 and OH was investigated. Carbon monoxid

Nigeria is a federal state with 36 states and 1 territory, the Abuja Federal Capital Territory. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country&semic the population is estimated to be around 130 million. More than 250 ethnic groups live in the country. The most populous and politically influential are Hausa and Fulani (29%), Yoruba (21%) and Igbo (often called Ibo, 18%). About 50% of the populat

Over the last decades business has become increasingly globalised and corporations are no longer limited by national boundaries. As a consequence many states have abolished their exchange controls, that is to say, the rules that controlled the transferring of money or other assets abroad. The abolition of exchange controls, however, provides opportunities for tax avoidance. Since companies are tax

In 1999 the sixteen national environmental quality objectives were adopted by the Swedish parliament and in effort to achieve them the local perspective is considered essential. The environmental quality objectives should, according to the Swedish government, be a part of the municipality's overall policy on sustainable development and it is important that environmental aspects are taken into

When a court has to decide if the custody of a child henceforth shall be joint or sole, or where the child henceforth shall live, and in which extent the child shall have right to visitation with t

I syfte att upptäcka eventuella biverkningar genomför läkemedelsbolag kliniska prövningar innan de introducerar ett nytt läkemedel på marknaden. Detta till trots är det ofta svårt att få en fullständig bild av läkemedlets säkerhetsprofil innan marknadsintroduktionen. Av denna anledning har läkemedelsbolagen ålagts en skyldighet att rapportera misstänkta biverkningar inom ramen för deras säkerhetsöIn order to detect potential adverse drug reactions, pharmaceutical companies con-duct clinical trials before they introduce a new drug on the market. However, it is often difficult to get the complete picture of a drug's safety profile prior to its marketing. Consequently, pharmaceutical companies have an obligation to report adverse events as part of their pharmacovigilance duties. Alongside

Sedan 1895 har det inom aktiebolagsrätten funnits bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist. Det övergripande syftet med bestämmelserna är att sätta upp gränser för hur långt en förlustbringande verksamhet får fortsätta innan verksamheten måste avbrytas genom likvidation. Bestämmelserna innebär att styrelsen har en skyldighet att agera i ett antal situationer. Styrelsen ska, när dSince 1895 there have been provisions regarding compulsory liquidation due to capital deficiency in Swedish company law. The general purpose of the provisions is to set limits on how far a loss-making activity may continue before the activity has to be interrupted by liquidation. The provisions provide that the board of directors has a duty to act in a number of situations. The board of directors

Sammanfattning Aktiv eutanasi och assisterat självmord är två frågor som tidvis dyker upp i den allmänna debatten i Sverige. Det är dock få politiker som vill ta i frågan, detta trots att en betydande del av det svenska folket är positivt inställda till att tillåta aktiv eutanasi. Genom åren har ett antal rättsfall berört frågan om aktiv eutanasi men rättsläget över vissa typer av aktiv eutanasi ä

Branched tubular networks constitute the basic structure of many organs to increase surface area and to transport fluids and gases. Glandular organs such as the pancreas arise from multilayered epithelium, which undergoes de novo lumen formation and extensive remodeling and branching. Endocrine cells originate from endocrine progenitors within the ductal epithelium. Upon differentiation into hormo
