För arbetet med förorenade områden finns det nationella miljökvalitetsmålet ”Giftfri miljö”. Det är ett så kallat generationsmål och innebär att förekomsten av ämnen som har utvunnits av eller skapats i samhället inte ska hota människors hälsa och den biologiska mångfalden. Vidare innebär målet att halter av naturfrämmande ämnen är nära noll och deras påverkan på människors hälsa och ekosystem ska
Popular Science Abstract This thesis is about the construction and demonstration of time correlated single photon counting (TSCPC) setup. The technique is essentially digital and is based on detection and counting of single photon, recognizing quantum nature of light. The time is measured between excitation pulse and detected photons and is stored in histogram with x-axis corresponding to time in
Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from
Although access to the internet is increasingly recognised as a critical right, the increasing criminalisation of copyright infringements and its consequent constitutional concerns reflects not only an ever widening gap between the legislative prescriptions and the broader societal expectations but may also raise constitutional concerns that may undermine that right of access. Drawing on the premi
China is facing multiple challenges of environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and rapid urbanization. The challenges along with people's needs to improve living condition force China to value the importance of developing green buildings. In 2006 the first national green building assessment tool -‐ Evaluation Standard for Green Building (GBS) was released and widely implemented soon aft
The objective of this study is to get new experimental data regarding to the burning velocities of ethanol, acetaldehyde and their mixture which has been performed by the heat flux method. It is known that the heat flux method for determination of laminar burning velocities is an efficient technique since the burning velocity can be determined directly, without applying extrapolations. These lamin
Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy
Organized crime has received much attention in Sweden the last decade and it is seen as a big threat against the society. In 2007 the government emphasized the importance to fight this type of criminality by taking a first initiative towards a national campaign against organized crime. Further the Minister of Justice wants to investigate whether it is possible to introduce a crown witness system i
Services of general economic interest are economic activities that public authorities identify as being of particular importance to citizens and that would not be supplied or would be supplied under different conditions if there were no public intervention. Examples of services of general economic interest are transport networks, postal services and social services They are provided by States to i
The study examines why Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) is used in singing education in upper secondary school. The basis of the study are three interviews with vocal instructors working at the aesthetics program, who have studied at the Academy of Music and had further studies at the Complete Vocal Institute (CVI). The study is executed with qualitative method. The purpose of the study is to exami
Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u
This report describes the development of a new design for a small surveillance camera that would bring new opportunities for surveillance in carefully decorated environments. The target group was specified to high-end stores; luxury retailers. This specific target group has a great interest for new products and trends and stores in the lower price segment are often inspired by the high-end stores
Land degradation has already been treated as one of the most serious problem all around the world. This study is a GIS-based time series study which devotes to calculate annual soil loss value, seek for soil erosion trends linked with precipitation and land use in Manafwa micro-catchment, Mount Elgon region, Uganda. Two different versions of Revised Universal Soil loss Equation (RUSLE) are impleme
Studiens syfte var att studera förekomst av nãgrapersonlighetsegenskaper som jag tror har betydelse för prestationen: Egoism, moral och empati i de individuella idrotterna friidrott och simning bland ungdomsidrottare och att belysa eventuella skillnader i egoism, moral och empati mellan elitidrottarna och icke-eliten, samt eventuella könsskillnader. I bakgrunden framgår att: o Egoism hos tonåringa
Öar präglas av opåtagliga aspekter och har en psykologisk mening för turister. Det kan ses att verklighetsflykt och viljan att uppleva något annorlunda genom enkelhet och avkoppling är orsaker till öars attraktion. Representationen av paradiset gör öar till psykologiska fenomen som tilltalar turister genom känslor. Samtidigt som sol och bad är grundläggande anledningar för att resa till en ödestin
Kleva koppar-nickel -sulfidmineralisering i Jönköpings län associeras med en elongerad mafisk pluton. I denna studie presenteras de opaka faserna för disseminerad malm från platsen. De relativt rika resp. fattiga proverna skiljer sig åt texturellt och mineralogiskt. Prover med nätverkstexturer rymmer magnetkis medan de med enbart aggregat domineras av pyrit. Kobalt saknas i pentlandit från de fattThe Kleva copper-nickel sulphide mineralization in Jonkoping County, southeastern Sweden, is categori-sed as an elongated mafic pluton. In this study, ore microscopy and quantitative chemical analysis using SEM -EDS have been used to describe the relative abundance and distribution of sulphides and iron oxides in disseminated samples. The overall dominant mineral ore phase is chalcopyrite. In the
This thesis studies the relationship between the magnitude of the dowry and the bride’s education and income. Dowry is defined the gifts transferred along with the bride from the bride’s natal family to the groom’s household at the time of marriage. Gifts are traditionally also given from the groom household to the bride, the bride who will belong to the groom household after marriage. India has a
Studiens syfte var att med en explorativ ansats undersöka och beskriva svenska afghanistansoldaters upplevelser och känslor kopplat till sin utlandstjänstgöring och att få en bredare bild med olika aspekter av hur detta upplevs av soldaterna själva. Syftet var även att låta soldaterna ge synpunkter på Försvarsmaktens rutiner i form av bl.a. förberedelser, akut stöd på plats och uppföljning. DessutThe purpose of the study was to use an explorative approach to examine and describe Swedish Afghanistan veterans’ experiences and emotions in connection with their service abroad, and to create a broader picture with different aspects of how this is experienced by the veterans themselves. The purpose was also to let the veterans share their view of the Swedish Department of Defense’s routines incl
Rapporten behandlar tvåfärgsfält med variabel relativ polarisation, vilket gör det möjligt att till skillnad från de flesta tidigare experiment behandla inte bara vinkelrätt eller parallellt polariserade fält, utan även mellanliggande lägen. Analys av experimentella data kombineras här med datorsimuleringar av olika polariserings- och fasförhållanden för att studera dessa fenomen.Two-color laser fields are considered, using variable relative polarization, allowing studies not only of strictly parallel or perpendicular polarization, as most previous experiments, but intermediate steps as well. Data analysis from an experiment is compared to computer simulations of various polarization and phase conditions in order to study these phenomena.
In developing countries the informal waste collectors provide important social, environmental, and economic services to society, but are often not recognized nor compensated for the work. This research paper addresses the importance of the integration of informal waste collectors in waste management systems. This phenomenon is especially relevant in Brazil with a comprehensive urban solid waste la
