Wind damage is one of the most economically and ecologically significant natural disturbances in European forests, yet the cloud cover that follows major storms routinely blocks optical satellite acquisitions for weeks, precisely when rapid damage mapping is most valuable. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) circumvents this limitation through all-weather imaging, but pixel-level windthrow detection fr
Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are widely used as an alternative to eating oily fish. However the polyunsaturated oils they contain are highly susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and possibly decreased quality of the supplement. Background: Despite the convenience of omega-3 supplementation, there is limited independent information on the oxidative quality of produ
Sverige står idag inför sitt mest allvarliga säkerhetspolitiska läge sedan andra världskriget, med globala pandemier, geopolitiska konflikter och extrema väderfenomen. Dessa händelser har synliggjort sårbarheterna i ett livsmedelssystem som bygger på 'just-in-time'-distribution och ett stort beroende av externa insatsmedel. Denna uppsats undersöker tankesättet bakom regenerativa livsmedelsSweden is currently facing its most serious security policy situation since World War II, with global pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, and extreme weather events. These events have shown the vulnerabilities of a food system built on "just-in-time" distribution and heavy reliance on external inputs. This thesis explores the mindset of regenerative food systems and analyses how regenerat
Objectives: Patients with SLE have an increased risk of comorbidities and impaired survival. We aimed to assess whether various thresholds of oral CS (OCS) can predict development of infections, comorbidities, malignancies and survival in SLE using data from national health registries in Sweden. Methods: All incident SLE cases, age >18 years, in Sweden (n ¼ 5309) between 2005 and 2020 and matched
One of the essential engineer’s jobs is to achieve the most economical technical solutions. Weight optimization is important since it provides a structure that can carry the applied loads in addition to fulfilling the structural requirements. In this project, a Matlab-algorithm has been developed to find the optimum design of steel portal frames according to “Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
The present study investigated suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in neonates with an ipsilateral noise suppressor method using a forward masking paradigm. Participants were 26 full-term neonates (36-42 weeks gestational age) with a mean gestational age of 39.7 weeks (SD = 1.4 weeks) and mean chronological age of 1.96 days (SD = 0.8 day). Their mean birth weight was 3.4
Galectins are an old fifteen-member protein family. Every galectin has one or two highly conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) through which it binds their mutual ligand galactose. They are involved in various pathways such as signaling, autophagy and immune response. However, they also contribute to pathological functions including fibrosis, metastasis, cardiovascular diseases and dia
Nowadays, many evacuation models exist in the market, and new models are continuously released with new features. How to assess the usability and reliability of model results becomes an issue for both developers and users. Therefore, verification and validation (V&V) protocols were introduced in the assessment process of evacuation models. To conduct V&V of a model, a widely accepted test
This study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th
The European spruce bark beetle is an insect that is often referred to as a pest. Responsible for the destruction of over 150 million m3 of Norwegian spruce forest in Europe over the last 50 years makes this insect one of the major disturbances to the forest industry. With global warming at large, changes of the distribution of the bark beetle have emerged with large outbreaks now regularly occurr
Relapsed or recurrent breast cancer is the chief cause of breast cancer related deaths and it is estimated that one-third of breast cancer patients would likely suffer a relapse. Due to high mortality and incidence, recurrent breast cancer requires better means of prediction, prevention and treatment. The AFFIRM platform uses recombinant antibody technology and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) m
Author: Oskar Nilsson. Title. To work reinforced. A qualitative study of the changes within the social assistance benefits work in Malmö. (Translated title). Supervisor. Torbjörn Hjort. In august of 2018 the local board of labor market and social services in Malmö decided that all inhabitants receiving social assistance benefits should have monthly scheduled meetings with their social worker. T
In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
Previous studies clarified that the electron enriched NADH and NADPH by RBC glycolysis could be used in an extracellular chemical reaction, where electron energies are extracted by an electron mediator methylene blue (MB). The reduced form of MB permeates the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes and reduce encapsulated ferric methemoglobin (metHb) to ferrous hemoglobin. Moreover, in vitro screening s
Plastics for everyday use are made from fossile resources. With the demand for plastics increasing every year, a sustainable development for plastic products is a growing challenge. A major issue is the depletion of the non-renewable fossile resources, which means that sooner or later alternatives to the conventional plastics are needed. With this problem in mind, this work focuses on the developm
To collect, treat and use food waste is desirable in society in order to recycle and efficiently use all resources. One stage of one of the Swedish environmental goals is to collect and treat 50 % of the food waste biologically in year 2018. A useful product from this treatment is biogas, which can be used for fueling vehicles, heating and producing electricity. Biogas could be produced from food
Many systems within the IT infrastructure have a Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuration changes. Some of these systems may expose a Configuration Management interface over a web service but this web service usually only exposes a fraction of the configuration possibilities in a CLI. Thus it would be of great help to investigate how a framework for automated CLI discovery can be developed,
A Credit Default Swap spread is a reliable measure of credit risk as it is the compensation demanded by a party to bear this risk. Officially, credit risk is denoted as credit ratings announced by credit rating agencies. Since rating announcements contain information regarding credit risk, the market should incorporate this new information into the CDS spread. The aim of this study is to investiga
Då naturens resurser förbrukas i allt större takt har inställningen till ekologiska produkter blivit ett väldigt aktuellt ämne. Denna studie ämnar undersöka konsumenters inställning till ekologiska varor samt vilka faktorer som motiverar dem till att köpa ekologiska produkter med utgångspunkt från the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Som komplement till TPB har den emotionella variabeln anticipaThe growing scarcity of the Earth´s natural resources has made organic products into an important topic worldwide. The aim of this study is to examine which factors that motivate individuals to consume organic products, by using an extended version of the theory of planned behaviour which includes the emotional variable anticipated regret. A multiple regression analysis was performed on the data c
