The microarchitecture of trabecular bone adapts to its mechanical loading environment according to Wolff's law and alters with age. Trabecular bone is a metabolically active tissue, thus, its molecular composition and microarchitecture may vary between anatomical locations as a result of the local mechanical loading environment. No comprehensive comparison of composition and microarchitecture of t
INTRODUCTION: A higher prevalence of individuals affected by Parkinsonism was found in Valcamonica, Italy. This may be related to ferro-alloy smelters in the area, releasing manganese (Mn) in the air, soil and water for about a century. There exists individual susceptibility for Mn neurotoxicity. AIM: To analyse how polymorphism in genes regulating Mn metabolism and toxicity can modify neurophysio
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a locally aggressive endothelial tumour that is classified into 4 clinico-epidemiological forms: classic KS affecting lower limbs in elderly Mediterranean or East European men; endemic KS occurring in extremities among Equatorial African middle-aged men and children; iatrogenic KS involving lower limbs in immunosuppressive patients; and AIDS-associated (epidemic) KS observed
The present study investigated second language (L2) learners’ processing of filler-gap dependencies and tested the implications of Clahsen and Felser’s (2006) shallow structure hypothesis according to which L2 learners underuse syntactic information during the processing of these sentence types. Advanced L2 learners of English (native Swedish speakers) listened to English sentences with object-rel
Animals monitor environmental ques by translating them into electrical signals through a depolarization of the electric potential over the cell membrane of nerve cells. A way to initiate the depolarization is through activation of receptors that are ion channels. These channels can facilitate the diffusion ions across membranes driven by the differences in concentration and electrical charge on ea
In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. This study examines whether or not it would be profitable to integrate an additional intermittent power source to the wind power plant’s existin
Recruitment of new individuals is essential for a population to survive and flourish and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is on the decline in some parts of the Baltic Sea. The causes being multitude and complex, culminating to the loss of light penetration being the main culprit. As society moves forward, artificial submerged structures may serve as new footholds for a waning population as well a
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is a cosmopolitan species with a broad distribution that ranges from the tropics to the poles. Males are known to migrate between nutrient-rich high latitude waters and low latitude breeding grounds. In the North Atlantic, large males are found up to the southern limits of the ice edge. However, their seasonal distribution patterns remain poorly known in th
When installing new research equipment at the synchrotron research laboratory MAX IV, a final positional accuracy of tens of microns is usually needed. To obtain that accuracy, initial reference points must be placed within 2 mm from the nominal target points in CAD, in a process referred to as bluelining. It is currently a manual process where points from a virtual environment are transferred to
Title: Bothness Despite Otherness: A Synergistic Approach in a NorthSouth Social Enterprise fusing Mutual Collaboration with Degrowth Values Authors: Ricarda Becker and Ladina Kaupp Supervisor: John Murray, Lund University, Sweden Purpose: This thesis aims to identify how mutual collaboration practices are infused with degrowth values within a business context that spans the Global North and the
Denna rapport är skriven inom kursen ”VBRN70 - Brandteknisk riskvärdering” vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Rapporten omfattar en brand- och utrymningsanalys av Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern i Stockholm med fokus på personsäkerhet. Analysen inleddes med ett platsbesök för att få bättre kännedom om objektet. Utifrån observationer från platsbesöket och tillgänglig statistik identifierades därefter flerta
Det kommunala planmonopolet tillåter våra kommuner att reglera mark- och vattenanvändningen samt hur bebyggelsen ska se ut. Detta innebär en stor frihet för kommunens sida men även ett stort ansvar att hantera bygglovsansökningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt. Det är viktigt att kommunen på ett korrekt och legitimt sätt tar hänsyn till de lagar och regler som en bygglovsprövning innefattar. Åtgärden soMunicipalities have a planning monopoly that allows them to regulate land and water use. With this follows a responsibility to handle building permits in a responsible manner. The building measure must abide by the detailed development plan. Sometimes the building measure deviates from the plan, in such cases the Building committee of the municipality can grant a building permit with a minor devia
Endowed with diverse vegetation covers, the Middle Atlas Mountains receive substantial snowfall in winter, which contributes to plant hydration during the growing season. Using remotely-sensed imagery, this study aims to assess the trends in snow cover variations between 2000 and 2015, analyse the local influence of snowpack persistence on vegetation growth and evaluate the significance of this ef
År 2006 var året då fler människor bodde i städer än på landsbygden och år 2030 uppskattas 5 miljarder människor bo i en urban miljö. Att lösa boendesituationen för de som flyttar till städer är ett globalt problem som kommer bli viktigare än någonsin tidigare att lösa. (Montgomery, 2014) Bostadsbyggandet i Sverige har de senaste åren ökat, men befolkningen ökar i ännu högre takt vilket gör att bo2006 was the year when more people lived in cities than in rural areas and by 2030 approximately 5 billion people will be living in an urban environment. Solving the housing situation of those who move to cities is a global problem that will become more important than ever to solve. (Montgomery, 2014) Housing construction in Sweden has increased in recent years, but the population is increasing at
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of recent Turkish immigrants with the city of Berlin through the lens of media and communication, and to identify the identity dynamics in this relationship. The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese
Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to contribute to logistics research arena in management practices using qualitative methods. Because previous research paradigm has been dominated by quantitative methods, where managerial work practices have been neglected or understated. Hence, by using the qualitative method the study can enrich the importance of manager work practice in logistics and br
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo
