Small birds are hot creatures with an average body temperature of 40° Centigrade, and so must burn energy at a formidable rate to stay warm. This becomes quite the challenge in winter when birds are 40-50 degrees warmer than outside for extended periods, even in comparatively mild regions such as Scotland. Thus, the little bird in winter must spend most of the day either feeding or searching for f
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandlingen studeras solljusets effekter på organiskt material och bakterier i akvatiska ekosystem. Särskild inriktas arbetet på UV-B strålning då instrålning till jorden av detta kortvågiga UV-ljus troligen ökar p g a ett minskat ozonlager. Ozonlagersproblematiken är verifierad över både norra och södra halvklotet. Resultaten visar på att en betydande del av This thesis examines the role of sunlight, specifically ultraviolet-B radiation (280-320 nm), on dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria in lakes. Field experiments in lakes with different humic contents and geographical locations have been performed. Photooxidation result in that part of DOM is oxidized to inorganic carbon (DIC), mainly CO2. The photooxidation rate can be of the same magnitu
The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availabi
Strike-slip faults pose significant earthquake hazards in many populated areas and therefore information about their general behavior is needed in order to attempt to predict future earthquakes. Much of this information is acquired using paleoseismic techniques, which focus on analyzing past earthquakes. These include measurement of displacements of either geomorphic features or beds across faults
Det finns olika möjligheter för barn att få komma till tals och det är domstolens skyldighet att se till att barnets åsikter kommer fram i målet. Barn kan för det första få komma till tals i en vårdnadsutredning eller innan snabbupplysningar sker av socialnämnden. För det andra kan barnet också komma till tals inför rätten. I praktiken har det funnits brister i hur tillämpningen av rätten att koFamily law disputes concerning the custody, residence and contact of children have increased in recent years. Judgments made by the court in the resolution of disputes have significant short and long term consequences for the children involved. The child is not a party to the proceedings. Instead the child has a right to be heard and a right to have his or her best interests taken as a primary con
Ett av Sveriges hållbarhetsmål är att senast 2045 inte generera några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att uppnå detta mål krävs kraftiga åtgärder inom alla sektorer. En av dessa är bygg- och fastighetssektorn som 2018 stod för ca 22 % av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enbart cementindustrin står för ca 5–7 %. Cirka hälften av klimatpåverkan från moderna flerbostadshus uppkommer One of the main sustainability goals in Sweden is to reduce the nations greenhouse gas emissions to a net-zero level by 2045. This is a national implementation of the Paris- Agreement. To achieve this goal measures need to be taken in all industrial sectors. The construction and real-estate sectors are responsible for about 22 % of Sweden’s yearly territorial greenhouse gas emissions. The cement i

This thesis addresses the impact of glaucoma on the patients’ vision from both a measurement based and a functionally based perspective. The risk of visual disability is probably the most important question for a newly diagnosed glaucoma patient and maintaining vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) has become the ultimate goal of glaucoma treatment. The objectives of the present thesis were to de
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Årligen drabbas 7000 kvinnor i Sverige och cirka 1500 kvinnor dör av sin sjukdom. Bröstcancer uppkommer genom ett samspel mellan livsstil, miljö och gener. En kvinna som har en förstagradssläkting (t.ex. syster, mor) med bröstcancer har ungefär dubbelt så stor risk att drabbas av bröstcancer jämfört med eApproximately 7000 women are diagnosed and 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden every year. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay of polymorphisms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and the use of concomitant medication in relation to risk and prognosis in two cohorts: one composed of young healthy women from high-risk breast cancer families and the other of breast cancer patients fro
Scientific summary: Ground settlement due to groundwater drainage during construction is important to be considered since ground settlement may cause severe building damages. The calculation of ground settlement contained several parameters with different magnitude of uncertainties. Thus a risk evaluation of ground settlement is necessary. The aim of this thesis was first to build a soil strata mo
Abstract This is a diploma work in industrial design by Fredrik Hyltén-Cavallius. In this project my goal was to find a product that could make the ancient fire fit better into our modern homes. I started out by looking at fire related products such as stoves and barbecues on the Swedish market. Through several interviews I also looked more closely into a couple of heat related technologies such a
I Sverige kan den som blir häktad på grund av misstanke för brott bli ålagd restriktioner enligt 24 kap. 5a § RB, om åklagaren finner att det föreligger risk att den misstänkte kommer att försvåra utredningen genom att undandra bevisning, det vill säga om en kollusionsfara finns. Häktningsrestriktioner innebär att den häktade blir förbjuden att vistas tillsammans med andra intagna, mottaga besök, A person being arrested in Sweden on the suspicion of a crime may be subjected to restrictions according to chapter 24 § 5a RB while incarcerated, if the prosecutor finds there is a risk that the suspect will interfere with the investigation. The detainee being placed under restrictions during detention, may be forbidden to meet other detainees, receive visits from friends and family, receive phon

This distinguishes constructive contracts from other agreements, but is a necessity to compensate for changes in developer preferences and external factors which can occur during an extensive and ti
Provtagningar har tillsammans med Lund Tekniska Högskola utförts i Skälderviken för att fastställa den pågående erosion som man tidigare befarat sker i Skäldervikens norra delar. Provresultaten har legat till grund för den erosionsbedömning som tidigare upprättats i Skäldervikens norra delar, och jämförts med nya provtagningar utförda längs med kuststräckan. Studien fokuserar även på hur dynlandskSediment samples have been collected in a collaboration with the faculty of engineering, Lunds Univer-sity in the northern parts of Skälderviken to determine the ongoing erosion that has been observed in earlier studies. The previous tests are the basis of the study and have been correlated with new samples taken along the coast. This study also focuses on how the inland dunes have changed since t
Agricultural intensification and its effect on spiders and their prey Spiders are abundant predators that can be very useful for biological control, as they eat insects that can damage crops. To study the potential of this group as biocontrol agents it is necessary to understand the trophic relationships and the factors that affect the distribution of both spiders and their prey. For this purpos
In the last decades, the role of warehouses has increased due to wider product range, emphasis on shorter lead times and constant changes in customer demand. The increased demands forces companies to improve their warehousing operations for better service level and decreased costs. Different technology solutions like WMS and RFID are currently available for supporting this improvement. However, th
