Maxillary growth inhibition in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) is an undesired effect that may occur in the teens despite proper primary care. Dental malocclusion and distortion of facial appearance can be treated with external distraction osteogenesis (DO) of the maxilla. This entails a Le Fort I osteotomy, fastening a semi-circular distractor to the skull, distraction for three weeks, a

Networks of coupled dynamical units give rise to collective dynamics such as the synchronization of oscillators or neurons in the brain. The ability of the network to adapt coupling strengths between units in accordance with their activity arises naturally in a variety of contexts, including neural plasticity in the brain, and adds an additional layer of complexity: the dynamics on the nodes influ

Pulsed arterial spin labelling remains a non-invasive and highly used method for the study of rodent cerebral blood flow (CBF). Flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery (FAIR) is one of the most commonly used MR-sequences for this purpose and exists with many different strategies to record the images. This study investigates Look-Locker (LL) TrueFISP readout for FAIR as an alternative to the

Vocabulary for subsistence and technology may vary a great deal in their degree of borrowability, depending on time, place, inherent subsistence and technology, and the situation of the borrowing. In cross-linguistic typological studies of borrowability, these words tend to group somewhere from middle to high in borrowability, depending on lexical concept (Haspelmath & Tadmor, 2009).We have co

This paper presents an object-based, global climatology (1979-2014) of strong large-scale ocean evaporation (SLOE) and its associated climatic properties. SLOE is diagnosed using an ''atmospheric moisture uptake efficiency'' criterion related to the ratio of surface evaporation and integrated water vapor content in the near-surface atmosphere. The chosen Eulerian identification procedure focuses o

Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ju tidigare man kan upptäcka sjukdomskopplade förändringar i kroppen, desto större är chansen att bli frisk och överleva sjukdomen. Molekylär avbildning är ett nytt forskningsfält som vuxit fram de senaste årtiondena som svarar mot detta önskemål. Målet är att så tidigt som möjligt kunna avbilda de förändringar som ger upphov till sjukdomen, snarare än att som idag, avbThe earlier abnormalities coupled with disease can be discovered in the body, the larger is the chance to survive the disease. Molecular imaging is a growing research field which aims to detect these abnormalities at a molecular level, when the chance of survival is still high. The main idea of molecular imaging is to use target specific contrast agents that accumulate at the diseased region at a

The effective management of end-users and their requirements in construction projects can bring a number of benefits, for example more satisfied and less critical end-users in terms of both the product and project. Building occupants are however continually changing and with that their needs. It is thereby a challenge to understand what brings value for both known and unknown end-users. More over

European renewable energy policy has gone through a remarkable development over the last few years. It has moved from being a predominantly national-level concern with a focus on environmental issues to a top European policy agenda item where security of supply and competitiveness concerns figure with equal prominence. In 2007 and 2008 EU established a very forceful policy framework with ambitiou

Narcotics have been the subject of hard legal regulation and zero tolerance policies in Sweden for more than three decades. This bachelor thesis seeks to examine the ideological grounds which the swedish druglaws are founded upon and maintained through. In order to identifiy these ideologies and understand their impact on the legaslative process a critical discourse analysis have been conducted wi

Avtalsfrihet och pacta sunt servanda är två grundläggande principer inom svensk avtalsrätt och ligger som grund för synen på avtalet. Ett avtal är en rättshandling, vilket definieras som en handling vars syfte är att ”grundlägga, förändra eller upphäva ett rättsförhållande”. Att ett rättssubjekt kan ändra sina rättsförhållande genom att företa eller mottaga rättshandlingar följer av allmänna princThe aim for this thesis is to investigate how passivity in a contractual relationship can affect the agreement between two parties. Under what circumstances can the behavior of a party change the agreed terms and how can these terms be changed if a party is passive regarding its legitimate claims. To understand this problem, one must also understand how a contract is interpreted and in what way ag

The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of how social workers at family centres perceive psychosocial support for new mothers and how social workers can contribute to a healthy transition to parenthood. To fulfil the purpose semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with four social workers working at family centres in different municipalities in Sweden. Bowlby’s att

Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. Currently this type of analysis is done manually by trained professionals. It is time consuming and the diagnos

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet slöjförbud i Sverige. Syftet är att undersöka hur en svensk partipolitiskt obunden organisation, som arbetar med hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck, konstruerar deras ståndpunkter om slöjförbudet samt hur de tillförskriver attribut till slöjbärande kvinnor som kan bli påverkade av slöjförbud. Materialet består av en skrift från den slöjkritiska organisationen ”Glöm aldrig The subject in this thesis is ban of veils in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to examine how a Swedish non-party political organization, that works with honor related violence and oppression, constructs their positions about a ban of the veil, and further how they prescribe attributes to veiled women who can be affected by the ban. The analyzed material is a publication from the Swedish veil-cri

Omfattande studier på Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) har under de senaste åren inriktats på hur egenskaperna i asfaltbruk kan optimeras eftersom de har avgörande betydelse för asfaltens funktion. Förutom naturligt förekommande filler i asfaltmassa har tillsatser såsom vaxer, fibrer och polymerer blivit allt vanligare. Hur dessa tillsatser påverkar asfaltbrukets egenskaper är viktigt att utreda för The durability of asphalt can be investigated with fatigue tests, which unfortunately are very laborious and costly. Therefore, they are not used as often as they should. At LTH in Lund, an alternative method is utilized using a dynamic shear rheometer, DSR, on asphalt’s mastic for fatigue properties testing. The properties of asphalt mastic are crucial for the asphalt pavements ability to withsta

Skadedjursbekämpande insekter på våra åkrar, påverkas de av genmodifierade grödor? Ända sedan människan började odla grödor så har man sökt att förädla dem för att optimera dem för våra behov. Under 1990-talet öppnades nya dörrar inom förädlingsindustrin med introduktionen av genmodifiering. Genom genmodifiering kan man ge grödor egenskaper från andra organismer, till exempel bakterier, som de aldGenetically modified plants (GM-plants) have been controversial since they began being cultivated, especially within the European Union (EU). It is not well known how their unique properties affect both humans’ health and natural ecosystems and therefore lawmaking in EU has been very restrictive around cultivation of the plants. The AMIGA-project (Assessing and Monitoring the Impacts of Geneticall

Idag är Sverige ett av världens mest jämställda länder men trots det behöver man inte spola tillbaka tiden särskilt långt för att upptäcka ett Sverige där kvinnor knappt hade några juridiska rättigheter alls. I denna rättshistoriska uppsats har syftet varit att dels undersöka hur svenska kvinnors rättsliga ställning utvecklats från 1800-talets mitt fram till 1920-talet, men även utreda de bakoml
