Swedish concrete dams are designed and assessed based on deterministic design using safety factors. The combination of increasing age, new methods for calculation of design floods and increasing demands by society to ensure a high level of safety, has resulted in upgrading and rebuilding needs for dams. When safety is re-evaluated it is important that evaluation is based on modern safety concepts.

Background: Mechanical ventilation is a potentially painful and discomforting intervention that is widely used in neonatal intensive care. Newborn infants demonstrate increased sensitivity to pain, which may affect clinical and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The use of drugs that reduce pain might be important in improving survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Objectives: To determine the benefi

Background and Aims: While the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood is in part genetically conditioned, non-genetic/environmental factors seem to play a decisive role in its aetiology. The incidence of T1D has been increasing rapidly during the last years, and its prevalence is higher in countries of high economical welfare like Sweden. Therefore, both from an aetiological and a publi

Abstract in UndeterminedThe objective of the report is to analyse simulation results coming from the use of a policy evaluation method that encompasses a wider set of determinants for technology choice. To that end, we use the EEB_Sweden model v1.0. Still in an early stage of development, the model offers an opportunity to capture or integrate critical modelling aspects that justify our research p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Standard-12-avlednings-EKG är fortfarande ett av de viktigaste och vanligaste redskapen för att diagnostisera hjärtsjukdom trots att ett flertal olika undersökningstekniker har utvecklats under åren. Vid standard-EKG används 10 elektroder, 6 på bröstkorgen och 4 distalt på armar och ben. Inom både industrin och akademin har många års arbete lagts ned på utveckling av deThe standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remains one of the most important and most frequently used tools for diagnosing cardiac diseases, although several different examination modalities in cardio¬logy have been developed over the years. The standard ECG uses 10 electrodes placed on well-defined positions on the body, 6 on the torso and 4 distally on the limbs. Both industry and academia hav

In recent years, subsets of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients carrying quasi-identical or stereotyped B cell receptors (BcRs) have been identified that share clinicobiological features and disease outcome. While these stereotyped subsets show distinct gene expression and genomic profiles, the DNA methylation landscape remains largely unexplored. By applying high-resolution 450K methylati

Many models of the nonnative acquisition of syntax build on the assumption that target lexical projections are developmentally prior to target functional projections (e.g. Minimal Trees (Vainikka & Young-Scholten 1994), Modulated Structure Building (Hawkins 2001)), or that learners only have to grapple with the acquisition of the topmost levels of syntactic structure (e.g. Vulnerable C-domain

It is established that the glomerular filter sieves macromolecules based on their size, shape, and charge. Anionic proteins are thus retarded compared with their neutral or cationic counterparts. However, recent studies have indicated that charge effects are small, or even "anomalous," for polysaccharides. We therefore investigated the impact of charge on the glomerular permeability to polysacchar

Målet med denna studie är att ge ökad insikt i hur väl geoelektriska under-sökningar i en heterogen berggrund kan avbilda geologiska strukturer för att kunna vidare¬utveckla och anpassa framtida bergundersökningar.En ”bra” prognos av bergkvalitet ger bättre möjligheter till minskad risknivå vid projektering och upphandling. Omvänt gäller att osäkerheter i bergtekniska prognoser vad gäller bergets The aim of this project is to enhance the understanding of how geoelectrical investigations in a heterogeneous rock mass can image geological structures in order to develop and adapt future rock assessment methods.A "good" rock quality forecast provides better opportunities for reduced risk level in the design and procurement phases of a construction project. Conversely, uncertainties in a forecas

BACKGROUND: Retrospective studies have shown promising results using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve mammography screening accuracy and reduce screen-reading workload; however, to our knowledge, a randomised trial has not yet been conducted. We aimed to assess the clinical safety of an AI-supported screen-reading protocol compared with standard screen reading by radiologists following mamm

För att förstå skatterättens effekt på det svenska samhället krävs kontinuerlig utredning och utvärdering av regleringarna. Med anledning av detta undersöks i denna uppsats fåmansföretagsbeskattnings effekt på samhället utifrån ett neutralitetsperspektiv. Genom en fördjupad analys klargörs hur neutrala fåmansföretagsbeskattningens regleringar kan anses vara vid val av associationsform. Med dennTo understand the effect of tax law on the Swedish society, continuous investigation and evaluation of regulations is required. With this in mind, this thesis investigates the effect of close company taxation on society from a neutrality perspective. Through a deep analysis, it becomes clear how neutral the regulations for close company taxation are when choosing the form of association. Based on

In this study, different membranes were tested for their use in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB). The membranes were first tested under charge-discharge operation of the VRB over four charge-discharge cycles at different current densities (20 mAcm-2, 40 mA cm-2 and 60 mAcm-2) and the corresponding cell performance was evaluated in terms of total energy efficiency (EE), coulombic efficiency (CE)

I den första svenska jämställdhetslagen från 1979 skyddades bara diskrimineringsgrunden kön. Redan då insåg lagstiftaren att det behövdes en bevislättnad eftersom diskriminering bygger på att man vet orsaken till att arbetsgivaren har handlat på ett visst sätt. Jämställdhetslagens bevisbörderegel skapades som en presumtionsregel. En presumtionsregel innebär att arbetstagaren ska bevisa vissa omstäIn the first equality act of Sweden from 1979, the scope of the discrimination protections afforded under the act were limited by the gender of a given party. Already at that time, the legislator saw a need for a relaxation of the burden of proof as previously, discrimination matters turned on the requirement that the claimant be cognizant of why the defendant had acted in a certain manner. The r

Abstract Individuals within species often show a consistent differences in their risk-taking behavior. I investigated whether intra-specific variation in risk-taking behavior is adaptive, i.e. if it stems from the life history strategy differences between individuals. As a result of life history trade-offs, individuals vary in their investment into survival and reproduction, such that some indivi

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic neurons and progressive accumulation of intracellular alpha synuclein protein aggregates known as Lewy bodies. Due to pathological links to both sporadic and inherited cases of PD, alpha synuclein (asyn) has become a focal point for study, although the exact mechanisms of its toxicity are not known. In contrast to

Mineralkvävegödsel är en av förutsättningarna för de höga skördenivåer som uppnåtts i det industrialiserade, moderna jordbruket. I Sverige finns idag ingen inhemsk produktion av mineralkvävegödsel, utan hela efterfrågan tillgodoses med import från utlandet. Produktionen är idag baserad på fossila resurser, vilka används både som råvara för produktionen och som energi för att driva processerna. Vi Mineral nitrogen fertilizer is one of the main reasons for the high yields in modern, industrial agriculture. There is currently no production of mineral nitrogen fertilizer in Sweden – the entire demand is met by imports from abroad. Global production is at present based on fossil resources, which are used both as raw materials for the production and as energy to fuel the process. We are thus dep
