This dissertation deals with theoretical descriptions of nuclear fission and synthesis of superheavy elements via fusion. The associated shape evolutions are treated using a random-walk approach where both the potential energy and the nuclear level density influence the dynamics. The dissertation consists of seven original research papers, and an introductory part providing background information

Denna rapport är en del av projektet Innovation och teknologisk förändring på kollektivtrafikens marknader, som är ett gemensamt forskningsprojekt mellan Lunds universitet, VTI, Malmö universitet, Högskolan i Molde (Norge), samt med medverkan från Partnersamverkan för förbättrad kollektivtrafik. Projektet finansieras av K2, Sveriges nationella kunskapscentrum för kollektivtrafik och syftar till at

Barnahus syftar till att förbättra utredningar och samarbete mellan myndigheter när barn misstänks ha varit utsatta för brott som misshandel eller sexuella övergrepp. I Barnahus samverkar olika instanser som socialtjänst, polis, åklagare, barnmedicin, rättsmedicin samt barn- och ungdomspsykiatri i en barnvänlig miljö. I stället för att behöva upprepa sin berättelse för olika tjänstemän på olika plBarnahus in Sweden exist to improve investigations and the collaboration between public agencies when children are suspected being victims of physical and/or sexual abuse. Barnahus are multi-agency collaborations that bring together local authority child welfare services, the police, public prosecutors, paediatric medicine, forensic medicine, and child- and adolescent psychiatry in a child-friendl

Electrical resistivity tomography has potential as a complementary long-term monitoring method in embankment dams; however, the 3D character of the geometry including the shape of the embankment, its internal zoned construction and the reservoir water make interpretation challenging. To tackle this problem, a qualified inversion model considering the 3D environment is necessary. In this paper, pri

Due to the global demographic change many more people will need to work until anolder age, and organisations and enterprises need to implement measures to facilitate an extendedworking life. The aim of this study was to investigate organisational measures and suggestionsto promote and make improvements for a healthy and sustainable working life for all ages in anextended working life. This is a qu

Marginalised agrarian societies are suggested to be the most vulnerable to environmental hazards and other perturbations. There are competing explanations for this phenomenon, which include: a lack of development, global environmental change, and the development process itself, or capitalism more specifically. All three causal arguments are compelling, but typically offer only partial explanations

Laser-induced grating spectroscopy (LIGS) is for the first time explored in a configuration based on the crossing of two focused femtosecond (fs) laser pulses (800-nm wavelength) and a focused continuous-wave (cw) laser beam (532-nm wavelength). A thermal grating was formed by multi-photon absorption of the fs-laser pulses by N 2 with a pulse energy around 700 μ J (∼ 45 TW/cm 2). The feasibility o

Background: Bilberries from Sweden, rich in polyphenols, have shown cholesterol-lowering effects in small studies, and the cholesterol-lowering properties of oats, with abundant beta-glucans and potentially bioactive phytochemicals, are well established. Both may provide cardiometabolic benefits following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but large studies of adequate statistical power and approp

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) contributes significantly to natural aerosol particle concentrations globally, in marine areas even dominantly. The potential changes of the omnipresent inorganic fraction of SSA due to atmospheric ageing is largely unexplored. In the atmosphere, SSA may exist as aqueous phase solution droplets or as dried solid or amorphous particles. We demonstrate that ageing of liquid N

När många av våra städer växer är det viktigt att både bevara de grönområden som finns och utveckla nya. För den biologiska mångfaldens skull, men lika mycket för invånarnas hälsa och möjlighet att på nära håll uppleva naturen. Det menar klimatforskaren Anna Sofie Persson.
