A great part of the soil remediation projects in Sweden today are being carried out on heterogeneous contaminated areas where for example industrial activities have been going on for a long time.

The distribution of the concentration of the co

Within the field of ecotoxicology there is a concept called combination effects. There are two different approaches to combination effects, independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA). The common assumption in both approaches is that there are no interactions between the substances within the mixture.

The stream is very

Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning får ofta sedering. Genom att använda sederingsskalor och införa rutiner kan översedering undvikas och tid i respirator och vårdtid minskas.

Denna retrospektiva journalstudie undersökte följsamheten till sederingsrutiner på e

Sverige behöver ett förbättrat konsumentkreditskydd. Fler sms-lån än någonsin har hittills i år hamnat i Kronofogdemyndighetens register som obetalda.

I detta ligger att revidera kravet som ställs på att aktiebolagens stiftare ska tillskjuta en viss summa pengar som ekonomisk buffert till bolaget, ett så kallat aktiekapital.
