Stratigrafiska analyser har utförts på en kustklint vid Ålabodarna i västra Skåne, vilken exponerar en skärning genom en liten dödisbassäng. Syftet med undersökningen var bl a att studera vegetationsutvecklingen i ett område som, i förhållande till övriga Skandinavien, tidigt blev isfritt. Fördelen med att arbeta med sediment i en öppen skärning i stället för i en borrkärna är att sedimentens latePopular abstract: A study of sediments from a small ancient lake basin in the cliffs at Ålabodarna, western Skåne, Sweden has revealed important information about the arrival and expansion of vegetation in the area. Western Skåne is a very important area for studies of this type, as the ice streams from the final episode of glaciation during the Late Weichselian retreated from this area early rela

Denna uppsats undersöker vilka möjligheter en privat organisation har att använda sig av personuppgifter utan samtycke på grund av ett så kallat ”berättigat intresse” enligt personuppgiftslagen (1998:204) samt lagen om elektronisk kommunikation (2003:389). Ett berättigat intresse föreligger när behandling av en uppgift är nödvändig för ett ändamål hos den personuppgiftsansvarige eller en tredje paThis thesis examines the possibilities of a private entity to use personal data without consent, based on a so called "legitimate interest" in accordance with the personal information act (1998:204) and the electronic communications act (2003:389). A legitimate interest is in effect when processing of a piece of personal information is necessary for the liable party or a third party with

In many places across the northern hemisphere, drinking water treatment plants (WTPs) need to avert the effects of deteriorating quality in surface water sources caused by increasing lev-els of natural organic matter (NOM). The two major factors responsible for this phenomenon, also called brownification, are the greenhouse effect and changes in soil acidification. Additional treatment steps needs

Slam från konventionell avloppsvattenrening innehåller näringsämnen samt mullbildande ämnen vilket medför att materialet utgör en resurs som växtnäring och jordförbättringsmedel. Problematiken med att använda slam är att det även innehåller främmande ämnen som metaller och svårnedbrytbara organiska föreningar. Syvab är ett kommunalt bolag som driver Himmerfjärdsverket men ansvarar också för någrSludge is produced in conventional waste water treatment. The sludge contains nutrients and humic formaing substances which make it useful as a fertilizer. The problem with using sludge is that it also contains toxicants as heavy metals and persistent organic compounds. Syvab is a municipal owned corporation that manage the wastewater treatment plant Him-merfjärdsverket. Since August 2010 Himmer

Dryland ecosystems are important yet understudied sinks of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), and sources of nitrous oxide (N₂O). Hence, monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and their responses to climate change in these systems is increasingly important. This thesis investigates the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data (between 390 and 1750nm) to predict greenhouse gas fluxes during

Glasarkitektur utvecklas ständigt med ökande krav på estetik, funktionalitet, och hållbarhet. Användningen av böjda glaselement blir allt vanligare i modern byggnation. Traditionellt tillverkas krökt glas av floatglas som upphettas över glasets transitionstemperatur och formas till önskad krökning. Denna teknik är tids- och energikrävande och därmed relativt kostsam. Av denna anledning används anGlass architecture continues to evolve with increasing demands for aesthetics, functionality, and durability. The use of curved glass elements is becoming increasingly common in modern constructions. Traditionally, curved glass is made of float glass that is heated above the glass transition temperature and formed into a curved shape. This technique is time- and energy-intensive, and consequently,

As the climate on earth deteriorates, actions are carried out within Europe to limit the amount of hazardous emissions to lower the environmental consequences due to greenhouse gases. A significant proportion of the emissions can be linked to the construction sector and its use of virgin resources. An area with great development potential within the construction sector is linked to its management

Short-term wave prediction is a key enabling technology for advanced control of wave energy converters (WECs), where accurate knowledge of the incident wave field over one to a few wave periods can improve power capture, reduce structural loads, and support operational decision-making. Many existing prediction methods rely on measurements at the prediction point or dedicated up-wave sensors, which

Pollen analyses and AMS C-14 measurements were performed on lacustrine sediments and peat deposits from the former crater lake Steregoiu in a mid-altitude area in the Gutaiului Mountains in NW Romania in order to provide a detailed reconstruction of the vegetational development of the area during the Late-Glacial and Holocene. The bottom sediments are siliciclastic and were deposited probably duri

The ACE-2 HILLCLOUD experiment was carried out on the island of Tenerife in June-July 1997 to investigate the interaction of the boundary layer aerosol with a hill cap cloud forming over a ridge to the north-east of the island. The cloud was used as a natural flow through reactor to investigate the dependence of the cloud microphysics and chemistry on the characteristi

The field of research dealing with the integration of biomolecules with electronic elements to form functional devices is called ‘‘bioelectronics’’. Bioelectronics based on mediated electron transfer (MET) between the biological element and the electrodes are designated as “second generation” while the one based on direct electron transfer (DET) is specified as “third generation”. Implanted bioele

The rise in CDOM (coloured dissloved organic matter) is likely to be relatively more pronounced in remote northern regions. However, there is a lack of monitoring to confirm this. For this reason, there is a strong incentive to develop remote sensing-based methods to map CDOM in lakes across broader geographical scales and to include geograghic contex in such analysis. There is a lack of understan

This research is a case study of the social activism experiences of Ai Xiaoming, a literature professor, feminist, rights activist, and independent documentary filmmaker. The research addresses the broad struggle for recognition and representation of feminists, activists, independent filmmakers, public intellectuals and scholars in digital China. The analysis of her case has led to the creation of

Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has extensive pathology that critically includes the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. This loss leads to debilitating motor features such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms. Intracerebral dopamine cell transplants have been explored for many years as a new approach to treating PD

The functional role of striatonigral neurokinins were studied by analysing the effects of intranigral injections of substance P and neurokinin A on the extracellular level of dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in the striatum, as measured by in vivo microdialysis in rats. Two substance P antagonists, substance Pd-Pro2d-Trp7,9 and substance Pd-Arg1d-Trp7,9 Leu11 were tested and analysed for th

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body (LCPB) in the asteroid belt at 466 Ma ago is the largest asteroid breakup documented in Earth's geological record for the past ca. three billion years. Recovery of abundant macroscopic fossil L chondrites in mid-Ordovician marine sediments as well as reconstructions of the flux of micrometeoritic chrome spinel through the ages have given much new informat

Importance: Meningioma is the most common subsequent neoplasm following cranial irradiation among survivors of childhood cancer, but there are still uncertainties regarding the magnitude of the radiation dose-response association, potential modifiers of radiation risks, and the role of chemotherapy. Objective: To evaluate meningioma risk in survivors of childhood cancer following radiotherapy and

A growing body of consumer culture theory (CCT) research has pointed to the way that places are increasingly conceptualised and commodified as brands and consumption objects (Lichrou et al., 2008; Giovanardi et al., 2018). Research has explored consumers’ experiences with different kinds of spaces and places, including retail settings (e.g. Penaloza, 1998; Kozinets et al., 2004; Maclaran & Bro

Human histo-blood groups are inherited polymorphic variants that occur in the molecular structures on the humanred blood cell (RBC) surface. Introducing foreign RBCs into a recipient lacking an antigen may activate the humoraldefence leading to a hemolytic transfusion reaction. Antigenic differences can also cause hemolytic disease of thefetus and newborn (HDFN). Blood group antigens are implicate
