The development of organ transplantation technology is an extraordinary achievement that has saved the lives of many, but which also has created an endless need for body parts. In focus for this article is the trade in organs - especially organ trafficking in Moldova.

Energy efficiency scenarios are developed in the national and international context to explore and evaluate different policy designs and visions of how energy will be generated, distributed and used in the future. However, these scenarios are often developed using conventional bottom-up modelling tools that, to only a limited extent, take into account decentralised decision-making frameworks, such

The electrical output of low concentration systems with standard pv cells is heavily impaired by non uniform irradiation distribution on the cells. In order to design new concentrators that improve the system efficiency by homogenizing the light, a new method of evaluation has been developed. It is based on simulations, and generates an estimated annual output. The method consists of three steps,

The aim was to study and prospectively follow symptoms and sensitisation of laboratory animal workers with laboratory animal allergy (LAA) and workers at risk for development of LAA in terms of latency time, incidence, prevalence and possible health selection. Furthermore, the impact of animal positive skin prick tests (SPT) on lung function and individual risk factors for development of LAA was s

History plays an important role in the philosophy of human rights, more so than in philosophical discussions on related concepts, such as justice. History tends to be used in order to make it credible that there is a tradition of rights as a moral idea, or an ethical ideal, that transcends national boundaries. In the example that I investigate in this chapter, this moral idea is tightly spun aroun

In this paper we present a new method for high-level synthesis that enhances design flexibility, specialization and performance primarily conceived for programmable hardware. New programmable hardware devices often provide fast dedicated components that perform complex computations. Arbitrary complex computations can be efficiently extracted from the CDFG using our new graph matching constraint to

Abstract in UndeterminedA correct lighting solution guarantees appropriate working conditions, while saving energy. Today it is well-known that the light influences our visual perception, our emotions and our biological system, thus our health and productivity. Four identical classrooms of a high school in Helsingborg, Sweden, were equipped with two different lighting concepts: classic pendants wi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tvärströms mikrofiltrering är en teknik för att avskilja partiklar med en storlek på ungefär en mikrometer (en tusendel av en millimeter) från vätskor. Exempel på tillämpningar är avskiljning av jästceller från öl, och avskiljning av bakterier från mjölk. I mikrofiltrering används membran (filter) med porer med en storlek på 0.1 - 10 mikrometer. Mikrofiltreringsmembran Crossflow microfiltration is a technique to separate suspended particles (or cells or droplets) from liquids by use of a membrane that is permeable for the liquid but impermeable for the particles. The permeate flow drives particles to the membrane surface, where they may be deposited and form a fouling layer. To limit the growth of this fouling layer a flow is applied tangentially to the membrane

Detta är en kunskapsöversikt på området för överskuldsättning och konsumtionsmönster i det digitala samhället, vilket inkluderar företeelser som e-handel, smarta mobiler och deras roll för konsumtion och kredittagande, nya sätt att betala, konsumera och skuldsätta sig, och mer. Kunskapsöversikten har författats av forskare vid Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Kronofogdemyndigheten. Arbetet har utfö
