The Swedish government has set the goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2045. The production of cement currently accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions worldwide, with a similar figure also true of Sweden. A clear government strategy is therefore needed to work with and provide support to the cement industry for decarbonisation. The most developed pathway for cement decarbonisation in the literature i
Den moderna tidens tekniska utveckling har lett till att allt större och mer omfattande skadeståndsmål anhängiggörs i domstolarna. Fler sakägare är berörda, de tvistiga frågorna i målet är allt mer tekniskt komplicerade och bevismaterialet är omfattande. Domstolarna har stundom hanterat en sådan situation genom att använda sig av pilotmålsmodellen. Modellen har ingen klar definition och användningTechnological development in modern times has led to increasingly larger and more extensive tort cases being brought before courts. The processes are difficult to handle, time-consuming and costly. The courts have occasionally handled the situation by using a model called “pilotmålsmodellen” (or “test case model”). The model has no clear definition and the field of usage is indistinct. The model i
This examination work is the final work in our education to become a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by the University of Lund. The main purpose with this work has been to develop a new effective material handling system for TPPM AB in Lund since the existing system starts to become out of date. The future system that is going to be installed shall have the capacity to support all
Inom Polismyndigheten i Skåne pågår ett Förändra-program, vilket går ut på att medarbetare som av olika skäl vill byta arbete har möjligheten att göra det med stöd i detta program. Deltagarna ska även få en djupare insikt om sina och andras behov och värderingar. Programmet pågår under ett år och innehåller ett flertal internat, med inriktning på individen, ett mentorskap, samt arbete på olika pra
1976 till 1983 var en tid av politisk terror i Argentina. Det sägs att över 30 000 människor försvann genom militärjuntans övergrepp. Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo var en kvinnorörelse som bestod av mödrar till försvunna och som arbetade för mänskliga rättigheter. De tog sig in i den offentliga sfären med hjälp av sitt moderskap och trotsade därmed även distinktionen mellan det privata och det offen
Selective supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) at 40 degrees C, 400 bar and 60 min was used to selectively remove bioavailable PCBs from a naturally contaminated limnic sediment. The extraction decreased the sediment concentrations of the nine studied PCBs by 54% (on average). Chironomid larvae were thereafter cultured in pre-extracted sediment as well as in untreated sediment to study the differe
Gaucher disease type 1 (GD type 1) and Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) are rare genetic disorders affecting the hematopoietic system and routinely treated by administration of drugs with variable clinical efficacy. Though effective in alleviating disease symptoms in large cohorts of patients, these treatment options have the major drawback of being non-curative. Currently, bone marrow transplantatio
The costs and consequences of donepezil versus placebo treatment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) were evaluated as part of a 1-year prospective, double-blind, randomized, multinational clinical trial. Patients received either donepezil (n = 142; 5 mg/day for 28 days followed by 10 mg/day according to the clinician's judgement) or placebo (n = 144). Unit costs were assess
Using dynamic Monte Carlo and Brownian dynamics, we investigate a floating bond model in which particles can bind through mobile bonds. The maximum number of bonds (here fixed to 4) can be tuned by appropriately choosing the repulsive, nonadditive interactions among bonds and particles. We compute the static and dynamic structure factor (intermediate scattering function) in the vicinity of the gas
Background: The pathophysiology of neurodegeneration is complex. Its diagnosis requires an early identification of sequential changes in several hallmarks in the brains of affected subjects. The presence of brain pathology can be visualized in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by protein profiling. It is clear that the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will benefit from an integration of algorithms in
Placement errors of object clitics (OCL) in French have been documented in 2L1 and L2 but not in L1 acquisition (Granfeldt, 2012; Hamann & Belletti, 2006). In the present study, we investigate whether placement errors of third person singular OCLs may be due to cross-linguistic influence. We exposed bilingual children (successive L1 French/L2 Italian and L1 Italian/L2 French and simultaneous 2
Collagenase injection for Dupuytren's contracture is commonly administered without anesthesia. The authors studied the benefit of injecting local anesthesia before collagenase in reducing treatment-related pain. This prospective cohort study included 187 patients (mean age, 69 years; 80 percent men) at two orthopedic departments in Sweden. At one center, 161 consecutive patients scheduled for coll
This work reports new experimental radiative lifetimes and calculated oscillator strengths for transitions of astrophysical interest in singly ionized cobalt. More precisely, 19 radiative lifetimes in Co+ have been measured with the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique using one- and two-step excitations. Out of these, seven belonging to the high lying 3d7(4F)4d configuration in the
This article assesses the status of the solid waste management system (SWMS) in Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan, using the material flow analysis approach, a widely applied method in waste management (WM) studies. It involves a systematic assessment of the material flows of solid waste under the current WM system. A material flow diagram is developed to visualize the input and output waste f
Background: Floods affect over 85 million people every year and are one of the deadliest types of natural disasters. The health effects of floods are partly due to a loss of access to health care. This loss can be limited with proper flood preparedness. Flood preparedness is especially needed at the primary health care (PHC) level. Flood preparedness assessments can be used to identify vulnerable
AIMS: The main objective was to determine premature stroke risk in men and women in Sweden with previous hospital admission for Type 1 diabetes or without previous hospital admission.METHODS: All individuals in Sweden aged 15-34 years at first hospital admission for Type 1 diabetes and aged 15-49 years at first hospital admission for stroke during the study period (1987-2001) were identified.
