När Amazonas regnskog huggs ner och den brasilianska Cerrado-savannen odlas upp med soja och kaffe och foder till köttproduktion så hamnar notan för klimatutsläppen på Brasiliens konto. Är det rimligt, med tanke på att mycket av köttet och de andra jordbruksprodukterna exporteras till Europa, USA och Kina? Vem ska stå för klimatutsläppen från en förändrad markanvändning, när varor som produceras p

The aim of this paper is to chart the relevant studies and research questions concerning the relationship between ICTs and Mobility in Everyday Life – a concept defined and delineated in a previous paper An Agenda for ‘Mobility in Everyday Life’ for ICT Researchers (Haddon, 2000a).

Hur undviker vi att fastna i gamla "sanningar"? Hur ställer vi frågor som möjliggör överraskande svar? Hur skapar vi ett arbetsklimat som stimulerar reflektion? Detta är några av de frågor som diskuteras i "Reflexiv fältarkeologi?". I boken medverkar 33 författare varav flertalet är verksamma inom uppdragsarkeologin. Boken tar pulsen på dagens svenska fältarkeologi och fångar åsikter och erfarenhe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Protontransport är en fundamental process som finns i många naturliga system, liksom i många tekniska applikationer, såsom bränsleceller, smarta fönster och olika typer av sensorer. Bränslecellsteknologi anses vara miljövänlig eftersom bränsleceller inte begränsas av Carnot-cykeln och omvandlar effektivt kemisk energi till elektrisk energi som sedan kan användas till atProton transport is a fundamental process that can be found in many systems in nature, as well as in technical devices, such as fuel cells, electrochromic devices and various types of sensors. Fuel cell technology is considered as environmentally friendly because fuel cells are not limited by the Carnot cycle, and efficiently converts chemical energy into electrical energy which can be used for po

Biotic and abiotic elicitors induce biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (phytoalexins) as a defense against pathogenic organisms in plants. The use of cell suspension cultures in combination with elicitors offer excellent experimental model systems for studies on various elicitor-induced responses of plant tissues. Various elicitors were added to cell suspension culture of Eschscholtzia californ

In this paper an inverse source problem is investigated. The measurement set-up is a reflector antenna covered by a radome. Equivalent currents are reconstructed on a surface shaped as the radome in order to diagnose the radome's interaction with the radiated field. To tackle this inverse source problem an analysis of a full-wave integral representation, with the equivalent currents as unknowns, i

This work deals with the problem of direction of arrival estimation of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) signals in presence of layover. The focus here is on realistic acquisition systems with a low number of phase centres and nonuniform array geometry. An interpolated array approach is proposed, in order to apply spectral estimation techniques designed for uniform linear arrays. In

This chapter illustrates the application over a decade of action research in the Swedish healthcare arena. Its focal question of how to deliver high quality, equitable and efficient care to an aging population – what is termed integrated care for the elderly – is one of the most central issues facing the future development of healthcare systems in all advanced economies. Countering early systems c

Society is becoming increasingly dynamic and complex, and therefore more vulnerable. It is thus important that society is resilient in order to be able to protect citizens and critical functions in the wake of disasters. It has been suggested that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is key in establishing resilience, and that adequate capacity in DRR is vital to reduce the effects of disasters. DRR and

This article discusses new configurations of power when global forces interact with local societies in transition. In particular, it deals with the project society of humanitarian aid, and the warlord/mafia formations beyond the reach of the new states. Examples come from the Balkans, where there is interaction between the new class of project elites managing foreign assistance, the local politica

This book chapter examines the rapidly expansion of various neospiritual and science-like practices currently mobilized in late modern Swedish pursuits of identity, meaning, and health. The focus is on the emergence and marketing of new entrepreneurs who have established themselves as “therapists” or “coaches”, promoting personal development, and how they organize their own systems of training and
