This thesis has examined the right to be forgotten; the right to have personal data erased from the search index of a search engine operator so that it is not displayed following a search on the basis of a data subject’s name. The right is fairly new, as it was first established in Case C-131/12 Google Spain on 13 May 2014 and was subsequently codified in Article 17 and 21 of the General Data Prot
Modern irrigation techniques are becoming increasingly important in water-scarce countries especially in arid and semiarid regions. Higher crop production and better water use efficiency are usually achieved by drip irrigation as compared to other irrigation methods. Furthermore, by using drip irrigation simultaneously with brackish irrigation water, some of the water stress due to shortage of fre
Popular Abstract in Swedish Även om vi inte ser molekyler dagligdags har vi sedan länge vant oss vid att sakerna kring oss innehåller något. När vi satt ett glas över ett brinnande ljus och det slocknat så är det något som tagit slut. Kemi rör beskrivningen av dessa sällan direkt synliga förlopp där molekyler omlagras och ger upphov till de strukturer vi finner världen uppbyggd av: gaser, vätskor The complexity of proteins is reflected in the structure of their fluids. This is seen from strongly inhomogeneous distributions about the single protein. Using molecular simulations of protein models, based on experimental structures, the present work probes the directional forces between proteins. Emphasis is made on the mutual orientation of proteins and the interplay of electrostatic and short
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet för ceramologisk forskning är att studera och beskriva keramikhantverkstraditioner : krukmakarna, deras produktion och sociala organisation samt användningen af keramikprodukterna. Kunskapen om keramiken gör det möjligt också att studera de mänskliga handlingarna, som keramiken tog del i. Den föreliggande avhandlingen söker att avtäcka kontakt-mönstre mellan olikaThe objective of ceramology is to describe pottery craft traditions; the potters, their production, social organisation and the use of the products. Through this the human actions surrounding the pottery are studied. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to study patterns of contacts between different, contemporary sites within a limited area through a ceramological analysis of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är en sjukdom som drabbar de äldre och leder till att skelettet urkalkas och därmed förlorar delar av sin styrka. Detta bidrager till olika typer av frakturer (brott av benet) där de vanligaste är handleds-, axel-, kot- och höftfrakturer. Andelen frakturer ökar i befolkningen, vilket både medför ökade kostnader för samhället och invaliditet för dThe aim of this thesis was to evaluate bone mass and bone size in girls and boys from age 12 to 16, with special attention to physical activity. We also wanted to retrospectively evaluate the effect of exercise for the years preceding age 12. The findings were as follows. Sixteen year old adolescents in a rural area had higher areal bone mineral density in the total body and the spine compared wit
The present study looked at beliefs/attitudes towards and effects of dreams, in a larger, primarily non-student, adult sample (N=667). On one side, findings supported previous research in that women were more approving towards dreams, they recalled more dreams, read dream literature more often, speculated more frequently about their dreams, and finally shared dreams more often than men. It was als
The purpose of this study was to examine how INGOs in Sri Lanka work to increase social capital and trust between the two ethnic groups, the Tamils and Sinhala. The study is qualitative, and the empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews. Representatives from seven INGOs and one professor from Sri Lanka were interviewed. The INGOs worked in many different ways to increase
Denna studie undersöker den rumsliga variationen i markens koldioxid-utflöde (CO2) i en boreal blandskog, huvudsakligen dominerad av tall (Pinus sylvestris L.) och gran (Picea abies L.) i ADVEX experimentsite i Norunda, centrala Sverige. Mätningar av markens CO2 gjordes i 72 collars omkring huvudtornet med hjälp av en LI-6250 infraröd gasanalysapparat kopplad till en hemmagjord mörkkammare. MedelvThis study investigates the spatial variation in soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in a boreal mixed forest mainly dominated by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) in the ADVEX expermental site in Norunda, in central Sweden. Soil CO2 efflux measurements were performed in 72 collars around the main tower by using a portable LI-6250 infrared gas analyzer connected to a
Avian flapping strategies have the potential to revolutionize future drones as they may considerably improve agility, increase slow speed flight capability, and extend the aerodynamic performance. The study of live birds is time-consuming, laborious, and, more importantly, limited to the flapping motion adopted by the animal. The latter makes systematic studies of alternative flapping strategies i
Portfolio optimization involves a tradeoff between maximizing expected returnand minimizing risk. In practice, useful formulations also include various costs and constraints that regularize the problem and reduce the risk due to estimation errors, resulting in solutions that depend on a number of hyperparameters. As the number of hyperparameters grows, selecting their value becomes increasingly imPortfolio selection involves a trade-off between maximizing expected return and minimizing risk.

Episodic memories are formed by hippocampal binding of the "what" and "where" features of everyday events. The hippocampus minimizes interference between related similar episodic memories by pattern separation. Stress and psychopathology are associated with lowered pattern separation.

Clinical expertise has since 1891 a Swedish counterpart in proven experience. This study aims to increase our understanding of clinicians’ views of their professional expertise, both as a source or body of knowledge and as a skill or quality. We examine how Swedish healthcare personnel view their expertise as captured by the (legally and culturally relevant) Swedish concept of “proven experience,”Clinical expertise has since 1891 a Swedish counterpart in proven experience.

The Jurassic sandstones around Höör and Vittseröd in central Skåne, southern-most Sweden are almost unique for Sweden and have been subjected to quarrying for at least 1000 years to produce millstones and building blocks for major buildings including the Lund cathedral. In the present study, the bryophyte flora of 17 such old or ancient sandstone quarries is investigated and described. A total of
Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle. Both processes aim to induce compressive residual stresses near the surface and the level of residual stresses obtained from SP or LSP is similar.

In living organisms, respiration is a biological process degrading different carbon substrates, consuming O2, and releasing the carbon as CO2. Plants have several alternative enzymes that are involved in the respiratory processes, as compared to animals. These alternative respiratory enzymes allow electrons to be transferred to oxygen in the mitochondrial inner membrane, but bypassing ATP synthesiIn living organisms, respiration is a biological process degrading different carbon substrates, consuming O2, and releasing the carbon as CO2.
