We have through our theoretical framework been able to create a simplified measuring tool for a KIZ; the S-TKL. We have found that the S-TKL is possible to implement on the Öresund Region but with some flaws. Even though the Öresund Region has implemented the mindset of a KIZ, accurate statistics are in some areas hard to find. We can also through our empirical findings say that it is difficult to
Användandet av fjärranalysdata är en viktig metod för att bestämma markanvändning och visa på förändringar i marktäcke. Fjärranalys kan ge en bättre utgångspunkt för övervakning av markytstäcke. Det gör det möjligt att geografiskt lokalisera förändrade markområden för att vidare kunna utföra noggrannare undersökningar om miljöförändringar (t.ex. markdegradering). Studieområdet är ett administrativThe use of remotely sensed data is an important method to indicate land use and land cover changes. Remote sensing can provide a better picture of monitoring land use and land cover changes. It makes it feasible to locate geographically changed areas in order to employ it further detailed studies on environmental changes (e.g. land degradation). The study area is a heterogeneous and small-structur
The current study examines the effects of a computerised Working Memory (WM) intervention in elementary school children when training in groups of various sizes. It further examines the effects of noise during the performance of WM tasks. The children included were 7 - 9 years old and were randomly assigned to control and training groups based on Raven's scores. Results showed an improvement o
We developed a clinical score to monitor tuberculosis patients in treatment and to assess clinical outcome. We used the WHO clinical manual to choose signs and symptoms, including cough, haemoptysis, dyspnoea, chest pain, night sweating, anaemia, tachycardia, lung-auscultation finding, fever, low body-mass index, low mid-upper arm circumference giving patients a TBscore from 0 to 13. We validated
Background. In metastatic colorectal cancer, mutation testing for KRAS exon 2 is widely implemented to select patients with wild-type tumors for treatment with the monocloncal anti-EGFR antibodies cetuximab and panitumumab. The added predictive value of additional biomarkers in the RAS-RAF-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways in colorectal cancer is uncertain, which led us to systematically review the
Extensive measurements of soil surface (including vegetation cover) CO2 efflux were carried out on 80 positions at four different forest sites (Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Italy) using a closed dynamic chamber technique. The period of measurement was 4-5 consecutive days per site. Two approaches were used to analyze the measured data, the Q(10) parameter and the Arrhenius relationship. Bas
The complex network of neuronal cells in the retina makes it a potential target of neuronal toxicity - a risk factor for visual loss. With growing use of nanoparticles (NPs) in commercial and medical applications, including ophthalmology, there is a need for reliable models for early prediction of NP toxicity in the eye and retina. Metal NPs, such as gold and silver, gain much of attention in the
OBJECTIVE-To evaluate the significance of GAD antibodies (GADAs) and family history for type 1 diabetes (FHT1) or type 2 diabetes (FHT2) in nondiabetic subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-GADAs were analyzed in 4,976 nondiabetic relatives of type 2 diabetic patients or control subjects from Finland. Altogether, 289 (5.9%) were GADA(+)-a total of 253 GADA(+) and 2,511 GADA(-) subjects participate
The most noticeable common weakness found in Thai SMEs' operations are; (1.) weak costing system and, (2.) unhealthy management system. Fierce competition drives Thai SMEs to strike for continuous improvement. In the war of pricing, market price automatically sets ceiling price for businesses, supply surplus leads customers to choose the most quality product (expected quality at less money spe
Aerial spraying is common procedure at banana plantations in Costa Rica even though the plantations often are situated very close to villages. The fungicide Mancozeb, which is metabolized into the more toxic substance ETU, is one of the pesticides used in aerial sprayings. This thesis has evaluated the exposure of ETU to children living in one of these villages and compared that exposure to differ
Sammanfattning Modern teknologi har medfört helt nya möjligheter för museum att nå ut till en global marknad. Museum har tagit sig an omfattande digitaliseringsprojekt och lanserar numera sina konstkollektioner online. Digitaliseringen omfattar även konstverk som tillhör public domain, vilket betyder att vem som helst är tillåten att mångfaldiga och sprida verken. Problematik uppstår när museum häSummary Modern technology offer entirely new possibilities for museums to reach out on a global market. Museums have undertaken far-reaching mass digitisation projects of their art collections and have established online collections. The digitisation comprises both copyrighted and public domain works of art. Public domain works of art are free for everyone to distribute and reproduce. Problems ari
The aim of this study was to investigate how Palestinian refugee women in refugee camps perceive themselves as actors who affect and influence their lives and communities. Research shows it is a topic that is not often discussed or highlighted in today’s discourse about refugees. The material was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight Palestinian women in a Palestinian refugee cam
Environmental and forest conservation have long been perceived as a constraint to economic growth and development. With a growing understanding of the benefits from ecosystem services for people, and benefits for conservation when managed by local people, synergies between conservation and development have become more prominent. This research paper analyses this link by looking at ecotourism as a
Souvenir shopping is inseparably a part of tourist activity. Recently, Indonesia has observed the phenomenon where famous Indonesian celebrities engage in entrepreneurship and open their own cake shops in tourist destination cities. They describe their product as a novel specialty food souvenir. The tourist activity of purchasing and gift-giving celebrity cakes to others is linked to a consumption
Damage to DNA can cause death to an individual cell and serious harm to the host organism. Photosensitized reactions are one cause of DNA damage. It can lead to destructive chemical reactions targeted to a base of the DNA as well as a breakage along one or both of the DNA strands. Due to this, quantifying and understanding photosensitized driven DNA damage is an important topic of research. From
In light of alarming reports on devastating effects of deforestation, the UNFCCC initiated in 2005 REDD+; a climate scheme designed to halt deforestation and mitigate emissions from forest degradation. Despite being met with enthusiastic approval at top level, the scheme has been met with resistance by local forest community groups. Displaying the core characteristics of a depoliticized policy iss
