Model-based design is in many ways seen as a potential instrument in process industries due to the close link between the process and the model. In Växjö, the process industry of Lantmännen Reppe AB produces syrup. The syrup goes through an evaporation process in order to raise the sugar concentration. If the concentration gets to high the syrup turns solid, which can make the process a bit tricky
Fjällsippan växer på Svalbard, precis som på många andra platser på norra halvklotet som har ett kallt klimat, som mer eller mindre runda kuddar. På strandbankarna i de västra delarna av Spetsbergen observerade Jonas Åkerman år 1979 att fjällsipporna hade ett annorlunda växtsätt då plantorna växte i ett halvmåneformat mönster. Åkerman föreslog att det är vinden som har skapat det ovanliga växtsättExposed, well-drained and nutrient poor areas on Spitsbergen are mainly covered by a plant alliance typical for Svalbard, the Caricion nardinae. Caricion nardinae is a circum-polar alliance, which is dominated by the creeping, ever-green dwarf-shrub Dryas octopetala. On the beach flats of western Spitsbergen, Jonas Åkerman (1983) observed in 1979 the plant Dryas octopetala growing in an unusual pa
Ukraine is at a cross roads. Several important decisions are needed to be made and carried out in a short time to secure the future of their in many cases broken and inefficient district heating systems (DHS), which heat the homes and offices of millions Ukrainians today. To make matters worse they have foreign interests panting down their necks with demands of payments regarding gas bought and im
This master thesis started as part of “Industry Wise”, an explorative research based project initialized by the company Interactive Institute in 2009. The goal of Industry Wise was to increase electricity awareness and/or stimulate change of energy behavior among employees in industries by visualizing their electricity consumption in real time. I joined Industry Wise to be a part of the research a
BACKGROUND: Worldwide data for cancer survival are scarce. We aimed to initiate worldwide surveillance of cancer survival by central analysis of population-based registry data, as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems, and to inform global policy on cancer control.METHODS: Individual tumour records were submitted by 279 population-based cancer registries in 67 countries for 25·7 million
Traditional publishers of journalistic material have found a new channel through which they can reach the readers namely the Internet. The material is often the same in the online version as in the paper based version, but not enough thought has been paid to how the different media influence the way of reading. The Internet as medium imposes new criteria as to how the content should be published.
Källmiljöer är grundvattenberoende ekosystem med en betydande roll för den biologiska mångfalden. Svenska skogar är rika på källor, som riskerar att påverkas av närliggande skogsbruk. I EU-projektet GRIP on LIFE IP som bland annat Skogsstyrelsen deltar i ska våtmarker och vattendrag uppmärksammas och eventuellt restaureras och i dessa naturområden ingår källmiljöer. Syftet med detta examensarbete Spring environments are groundwater dependent ecosystems, which play an important role for biodiversity. In Swedish forests there is an abundance of springs, many of which risk being affected by forestry nearby. In the EU project GRIP on LIFE IP where, among others, the Swedish Forest Agency take part, wetlands and streams will be brought to attention and possibly restored. In these biotopes, spri
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety at Vasamuseet on Djurgården in Stockholm. The museum has twelve floors and consists of the ship hall including large and small exhibitions, a restaurant, a gift shop, and areas for staff. In this report, the focus is the ship hall expanding from the 2nd floor to the 7th floor. The economic and environmental loss are not taken into account
Duni has successfully expand their business internationally. Internationalization makes the distance between the producer and consumers become longer and this leads to strength reduction of corrugated boxes along the supply chain. To overcome this problem, this study is conducted to find the extent of corrugated boxes strength reduction during logistical activities, practices and condition in the
Purpose: The purpose is to explore a potential adoption of RFID technology in Spanish oranges producers´ outbound flow of the grey RFID-tagged plastic pallets that are delivered to Swedish wholesalers. The exploration will be focus on aspects regarding RFID technology, like level of knowledge and awareness, the willingness to invest on it, the attitude of the companies regarding the adoption, the
Stockholm Arlanda Airport är Sveriges mest använda flygplats och terminal 4 är en av flygplatsens mest använda terminaler. Verksamheten bedrivs dygnet runt och antalet personer är mycket varierande. I denna rapport utvärderas säkerheten i händelse av brand i terminalens incheckningshall med avseende på personsäkerhet. Flera möjliga brandscenarier identifierades med bakgrund i information från ettStockholm Arlanda airport is the busiest airport in Sweden and Terminal 4 is one of the airports most frequently used terminals. The business is running through all hours of the day and the number of occupants is largely varying. In the following report the fire safety of the check-in and bag drop area is evaluated regarding the occupant’s safety. Several possible fire scenarios were identified u

Background: While neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD), they are currently underdiagnosed and undertreated in the memory clinic. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of the Describe, Investigate, Create, Evaluate (DICE™) approach to structure and standardize the care for NPS in AD in the memory clinic. Method: A total of 60 community-dwelling patients w
Background: Environmental lead exposure has been associated with decreased kidney function, but evidence from large prospective cohort studies examining low exposure levels is scarce. We assessed the association of low levels of lead exposure with kidney function and kidney disease. Study Design: Prospective population-based cohort. Setting & Participants: 4,341 individuals aged 46 to 67 years
Objectives A novel longitudinal clustering technique was applied to comprehensive autoantibody data from a large, well-characterised, multinational inception systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cohort to determine profiles predictive of clinical outcomes. Methods Demographic, clinical and serological data from 805 patients with SLE obtained within 15 months of diagnosis and at 3-year and 5-year fol
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by 3 core symptom complexes: parkinsonism, cerebellar syndrome, and dysautonomia. Recent Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria allow for the clinical diagnosis of MSA based solely on motor symptoms, without requiring dysautonomia. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and disease trajecto
Background: In 2018, nearly 90% of the global children living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Compared to the adult population, antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage among children was limited. However, adherence remained a problem among children though they had limited access to ART. This study was conducted to identify the risk factors of non-adher
Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to six months is sub-optimal globally. Tanzania has surpassed the World Health Assembly (WHA) target of increasing the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among children below six months to at least 50% by the year 2025 the median age of cessation of EBF is only three months. Objective To determine the time to cessation of exclusive breastfeeding and its ass
Highbush blueberry production has expanded worldwide in recent decades. To safeguard future yields, it is essential to understand if insect pollination is limiting current blueberry production and which insects contribute to pollination in different production regions. We present a systematic review including a set of meta-analyses on insect-mediated pollination in highbush blueberry. We summarize
