This paper reviews evidence from human physiology as to which foods may have been typically consumed by the hominin ancestral lineage up to the advent of anatomically modern humans. Considerable evidence suggests that many common diseases can be prevented by hunter-gatherer diets. Apparently, human nutritional metabolism is not perfectly fine-tuned for recently introduced staple foods, such as cer

This paper presents a general view, from a Swedish perspective, of one of the less known Queens of Sweden, Isabella (Elisabeth) of Habsburg. She was the daughter of Philip I and Joan I of Castile, and thus the sister of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. She married the Danish-Norwegian-Swedish King Christian II, in Sweden generally known as Christian the Tyrant. After a short biography of the Scan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid många industriella processer bildas olika typer av biprodukter, som kan vara mer eller mindre giftiga. En ovarsam hantering av de giftiga ämnena, eller en olycka, kan lätt leda till att den omgivande miljön blir förorenad. Förr, när man var mindre medveten om riskerna med de här ämnena hamnade de ofta i marken kring anläggningarna. Det har resulterat i många förorenBioremediation of soils is considered a low-cost alternative to other remediation techniques. Its ability to remove a number of different pollutants has been demonstrated, relying mainly on the activities of indigenous soil bacteria. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered major environmental pollutants in soil, some of them being toxic and others carcinogenic. Since high-molecu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studierna som presenteras i papper I till IV i min avhandling visar markvattnets betydelse för marklösningens kemi och växternas respons på förändringen i vattenhalt. Med mina experiment har jag studerat dels kalkjord med olika vattenhalter och dels markvattens påverkan på växternas näringsupptagning i växthus. Jag har också försökt finna samband mellan växternas responThe studies presented in Papers I to IV illustrate the importance of soil moisture in soil solution chemistry and response of native plants to the changes induced by change in moisture regime. With the help of glasshouse experiments I tried to study the influence of different treatments of soil moisture conditions on the mineral uptake by native plants of calcareous soil. I also tried to find the

In this paper I discuss a couple of anthropomorphic/animistic examples of how agency can be delegated to things as a productive strategy in a context of making. The first example is two texts by Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H (1964) and her posthumous (and incomplete) novel A Breath of Life, and the second is Louis Kahn and his work on the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in A
