Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration

The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women

Popular Abstract in Swedish See attachment in related materialThe combustion engine is today the dominant technology for transportation of goods and people world-wide. Concerns for global warming, toxic exhaust emissions, as well as cost and availability of fuel have in recent years created incentives for technological evolution of combustion engines. More sophisticated engine instrumentation with additional degrees of freedom has been added to the engine de

Background In mild asthma exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is usually treated with inhaled short-acting beta(2) agonists (SABAs) on demand. Objective The hypothesis was that a combination of budesonide and formoterol on demand diminishes EIB equally to regular inhalation of budesonide and is more effective than terbutaline inhaled on demand. Methods Sixty-six patients with asthma (>12 ye

Questions: How does the number of species in a community affect the level of genetic diversity of its constituent species? What is the relation between competitive interactions and the spatial distribution of genetic variation? When spatially structured, how is the genetic differentiation among subpopulations affected by competition and size of the community? Model features and key assumptions: A

AimA significant number of children living in Sweden are bilingual, but how language screening is performed in this group is unknown. We investigated child healthcare nurses' perceptions of the language screening of bilingual children aged 30-36months, together with their clinical practices. MethodsAn online questionnaire was completed by 863 nurses who performed language screening of bilingual ch

We present detailed observations of the bright short-hard gamma-ray burst GRB 090510 made with the Gammaray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi observatory. GRB 090510 is the first burst detected by the LAT that shows strong evidence for a deviation from a Band spectral fitting function during the prompt emission phase. The time-integrated spectrum is fit by the s

Rätt bakterier i tarmen kan göra det lättare att förbli smal Övervikt är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle. Övervikt och fetma kan kopplas ihop med ett antal sjukdomar som följd av övervikten. Personer med övervikt lider större risk att drabbas av hjärt– och kärlsjukdomar, diabetes typ 2 och även förtidig död. Det är visats av andra forskargrupper att överviktiga barn har en högre risk att själAbstract Problem with obesity is a growing health problem, and young children with obesity and overweight suffer a bigger risk to become overweight as adults. The aim of this study was to compare the differences which arise in the microbiota among preschool children who had participated in an intervention study. The present study includes two groups of children, whom had different body mass index

Uppsatsen redogör för rättsreglerna kring omplacering och turordning vid arbetsbristuppsägningar. Det finns ett omfattande regelverk kring anställningsskyddet i Sverige. Det reglerar hur arbetsgivare ska uppträda då uppsägningar ska äga rum. Det krävs saklig grund för att en arbetsgivare ska ha rätt att säga upp en arbetstagare. Detta framgår tydligt ur 7§ anställningsskyddslagen. För att sakligThis essay describes the legal rules regarding relocation and order of priority in connection with termination of employment due to redundancy. There are comprehensive regulations on employment protection in Sweden. It regulates how employers should act when the redundancies will take place. It requires grounds for dismissal for an employer to have the right to terminate an employee. This is evid

This thesis assess three different conditional variance models from the GARCH family - GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) - and their accuracy in making one-day forecasts together with Value at Risk. The study is made on the daily returns of the OMX Stockholm 30 index between 2002-01-01 and 2010- 12-31. A five year in-sample set was used to estimate the model parameters and to make one-day

Effekter av träning i fastande tillstånd Den tydligaste effekten av uthållighetsträning är förbättrad kondition. Ordet kondition kan definieras som samspelet mellan lungor, hjärta, blod och muskler. Lungorna ska växla syrgas från inandningsluften och släppa ut koldioxid. Hjärtat ska pumpa blod till lungorna och ut i kroppen. Blodets uppgift är att syresätta musklerna vid fysisk ansträngning. Allt

The aim of this thesis was to study onlay bone grafting in the adult rat to improve graft incorporation and perservation of graft size. In 167 adult isogeneic lewis rats, the size maintenance and bone formation at the graft-host interface of uni- and bicortical onlays positioned in various environments and treatments were investigated. The findings were assessed after four, 12 and 20 weeks with ro

Abstract The ozone (O3) decomposition in the pre-heat zone of flames can initiate and accelerate the chain-branching reactions. In the present study, formaldehyde (CH2O) was investigated by both experiment and simulation methods in methane/air laminar premixed flames under atmospheric conditions. The formaldehyde concentration profiles in the flames were measured with CH2O-PLIF. When 4500 ppm of o

Introduction: When a child is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, it involves extensive lifestyle changes for the whole family. There is limited knowledge of the impact the initial care has for children and parents over time. The aim was to compare children’s diabetes-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in hospital-based care and hospital-based home care (HBHC), 12 and 24 months after the

Volatile conflicts, poverty and suppression of basic human rights stemming from one's political or religious affiliations, gender and race, are some of the various reasons why thousands flee home in the hopes of finding some kind of security. As the world observes the appalling deterioration of conflicts in Western Sudan, Iraq and Haiti, we simultaneously observe neighbouring or developed coun

Today, 14 years have gone since the whole world turned their backs on Rwanda, the small country in East Africa, during a time when its population needed us the most. These were the same nations that already after the Second World War had made a promise about ''Never Again'', then meaning that they would never again allow another attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group. It was

Thirty right-handed participants were presented with emotional pictures either to the left or to the right visual field. The pictures were shown for a duration of 150 ms to make sure that they were exclusively presented to one hemisphere only. Eye movements were recorded with electroocularogram for each participant throughout the test. A total of 30 pictures were chosen on the basis of their valen
