Biodiversity, and in particular plant species diversity decline is linked to landscape fragmentation and habitats loss due to land use transformations but also to decreasing dispersal vectors in the landscape. During the last 200 years the landscape has undergone dramatic changes in its structure and its habitats diversity. Among the different habitats that constitute rural landscape there are thr
Age is one of two new discriminatory grounds in Swedish law. EU took official position against age discrimination by means of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation. From January the 1st 2009 it is, by Diskrimineringslag (2008:567), illegal in Sweden to discriminate anyone based on age. The law covers all a
In recent years we have seen a development within the archival tradition identified by some as a paradigm shift. The signifiers behind this shift are mirrored in the records continuum model - a model that then also reflects a wider socio-political understanding of the development of archival thinking. Hence this thesis intend to describe and analyse the current shift in archival description in Swe
Som en följd av den europeiska kommissionens förslag till ett förstärkt skydd för arbetstagares anställningar vid företagssammanslutningar antogs år 1977 rådets direktiv 77/187/EEG om tillnärmning av medlemstaternas lagstiftning om skydd för arbetstagares rättigheter vid överlåtelse av företag, verksamheter eller delar av verksamheter, det s.k. överlåtelsedirektivet. En central bestämmelse i direkAs a result of the European Commission's proposal for an enhanced protection of employees' employment contracts at undertakings, the Council Directive 77/187/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of businesses, known as the Directive on transfers of undertaki
Cytochrome c oxidase encoded by multiple mitochondrial genes (COXI, COXII, and COXIII) and nuclear genes is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen by reduced cytochrome c. Subunits COXI and COXII of cytochrome c oxidase are known to play the most essential role in proton pumping and electron transfer. In this study we screened
Background: Previous studies have focused on weight maintenance following weight loss, i.e. secondary weight maintenance (SWM). The long-term results of SWM have been rather modest and it has been suggested that preventing initial weight gain, i.e. primary weight maintenance (PWM), may be more successful. Therefore, developing a prevention strategy focused on PWM, enabling normal weight or overwei

In this report the motor side of a converter driven AC-locomotive is studied and modeled. The motor side consists of an asynchronous electrical engine, an indirect self controller, a voltage converter, a Pulse Width Modulator(PWM) and the train mechanics. The converter is supplied with voltage from a DC-link. The link is connected to a line converter which transfers energy from the railway net to
This project has been an exploration into how sustainability is understood and its challenges framed within design. But the reader undertaking the task of going through this document will find more about carrying in urban transportation which has been the area of application. Probing the underlying assumptions upon which our solutions toward a sustainable future rest, the research identifies
Under 1800-talet präglades hela Kontinentaleuropa av en kodifikationsfeber. Stora delar av Kontinentaleuropa kodifierade civilrätten. Kodifikat-ionstrenden nådde även de nordiska länderna. Sverige, Norge och Danmark gjorde alla någon form av kodifikationsförsök, men inget av dem ledde till en antagen kodifikation. De nordiska länderna avvek både från resten av Kontinentaleuropa och från varandra. During the 19th century, continental Europe was engulfed by a codification fever. Most parts of continental Europe proceeded to codify their private law. The codification trend also reached the Nordic countries. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark all attempted to codify their private law at some point, but none of the attempts ever lead to them adopting a codification. The Nordic countries deviated, both
Power reduction is becoming a critical design requirement for ASIC/SOC designers. Reducing both dynamic and leakage power is essential to meet power budgets for portable devices as well as to ensure that these ASICs meet their packaging and cooling costs. In addition, the power of an ASIC has a significant impact on its reliability and manufacturing yield. Also, low-power has become a leading des
Background: Nodal assessment in gallbladder cancer remains challenging, particularly in incidental gallbladder cancer. This understages the number of patients with node-positive disease, resulting in prognostic inaccuracy and insufficient adjuvant treatment. This study aimed to identify risk factors for positive nodes in gallbladder cancer and to compare prognostic discrimination of available noda
Sammanfattning: Mantelsignaturen HIMU ( High μ/ High U/Pb) som får sitt namn från dess höga 238U/204Pb innehåll är en av normalt fyra mantelsignaturer som är funnet på flera oceaniska basaltöar över världen så som St Helena. Ursprunget av detta material är okänt men flera hypoteser kring dess bildande finns, där de flesta verkar ha subdukterande oceanskorpa med i bildningsprocessen. Denna litterat
Immigrant entrepreneurs who get involved in the restaurant industry face different challenges to promote their restaurants and attract new customers. However, immigrant entrepreneurs’ cultural capital is an important asset that can be exploited to overcome these challenges. This paper seeks to identify and explore what is the cultural capital that immigrant entrepreneurs use as marketing strategie
The average age of the signalling systems the Swedish railways is high and the technology old. Parts of the current system are over 50 years old and requires a high amount of service due to its old age. Due to an EU-directive regarding interoperability, the current signalling system on the most heavily trafficked parts of the Swedish railway (equal to about 2/3 of the total number of signalling po
Aquaculture is an expanding industry, supplying closer to 50% of the total fish consumption. Commercialized fish production faces sustainability challenges which are important to address. Aquaponics uses wastewater from aquaculture to grow plants using hydroponics. This is a step towards making the industry more sustainable, but the practice is not straightforward. The plants and the fish thrive a
This thesis aims to evaluate the performance of Siemens’ High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool Catapult. HLS can be considered the next step up in abstraction level from writing traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) code which is time consuming and error prone. The promise of HLS is to speed up the process of designing integrated circuits by lifting the abstraction level so the design can be coded f
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether malnutrition or nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) affect the possibility of returning to work after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Patients of working age with head and neck cancer were followed up from treatment initiation to 3 months (n = 238), 1 year (n = 182), and 2 years (n = 130) after treatment completion. The observed decrease in
