Present power system will face great challenges in several areas depending on the market economy, extensive global integration and constant need for more electric power, which will force the system to operate much closer to its stability limits. Meeting these challenges may involve improving and complementing or even total restructuring of the power systems.New technologies are emerging such as re

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att ge en god omvårdnad behövs kunskaper om ätproblem som helhet och om möjliga hinder för optimalt näringsintag hos äldre patienter, särskilt de med stroke. Sådana kunskaper behövs eftersom åldrandet i sig självt eller tillsammans med sjukdom, t.ex. stroke och dess följder, kan påverka förmågan att äta och därmed också näringsintaget med ökad risk för såväl undernäThe aim of this thesis was to describe eating difficulties and interventions to improve eating among elderly patients, especially those with stroke, to make comparisons between patients with dysphagia and those without (Papers I & II), those with and without assisted eating (Paper IV), and to analyse the relation between eating difficulties, nutritional status (Papers II-V), pressure ulcers (P

Popular Abstract in English Plant diseases are directly associated with food security because they result in severe reduction of plant yield and thus they add to the scarcity of foods in the world, which can lead to negative repercussions on humankind. Late blight disease that severely hit Ireland in 1840s, which was caused by Phytophthora infestans and is mentioned in the historical records as thAbstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. infestans, there is a need to explore several new approaches th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hormonerna vasopressin och oxytocin frisätts från hypofysens baklob. Hypofysen är en körtel, som är belägen på undersidan av hjärnan och utsöndrar en rad olika hormoner vilka i sin tur påverkar och reglerar aktiviteten i en mängd andra organ. Vasopressin medverkar till regleringen av vatten- och saltbalansen i kroppen, men verkar också sammandragande på icke-viljestyrdVasopressin and oxytocin seem to have pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhoea and preterm labour. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of uterine activity with different receptors mediating both stimulation and relaxation. We explored different aspects of synthesis, release and receptor pharmacology of vasopressin and oxytocin. We also tested a vasopressin and o

Cancer represents a collection of malignancies characterized by an aberrant expansion of cells. This unrestrained growth is the result of the acquisition of several pro-survival features and the evasion of cellular fail-safe mechanisms, collectively known as the hallmarks of cancer. In the clinical setting, disease management has heavily relied on the sole targeting of malignant cells but, except

The aim of this thesis is to compare and analyse the introduction of renewable fuel in the public transport sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities encountered by involved stakeholders on the regional and local levels. The results contribute to answering three research questions: 1) How do organisational factors and local and regional contextual factors influence the introduction of r

The aim of this knowledge compilation is to contribute with know-ledge about the work environment in relation to the ever-older workforce. How do employee needs and possibilities change from a course of life perspective? What should the employer and other work environment actors think about in order for the workforce to be able to and want to work to a high age? The Swedish Work Environment Author

The sustainable use of groundwater relies on building up three stages: exploration, development and management. The exploration is crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of aquifer units; e.g. volume of available water and potential yield, distinction of recharge and discharge zones, and the groundwater quality are developed in this stage. In the Altiplano, groundwater is probably

“Across all borders”: An investigation into media activities and the Scandinavian Media Model in 1959In this case study we are going to investigate two different radio productions that in interesting ways were crossing the geographical borders between the countries Sweden and Norway and between Sweden and Denmark in the year of 1959. Through the concepts of border (see Hurd et al. 2006) showing ho

Cementbaserade material, såsom murbruk och betong, är världens mest använda byggnadsmaterial. Cement är en viktig delkomponent; det reagerar med vatten och bildar ett lim, kallad cementpasta, som får materialet att hårdna. Idag står cementproduktion för en betydande del av världens årliga koldioxidutsläpp. Genom att byta ut delar av cementet mot andra material med cement-lika egenskaper, till exemCement-based materials, such as mortar and concrete, are the most employed construction materials in the world. Cement is an important component; it reacts with water to form a glue, called cement paste, which causes the material to harden. Today, cement production accounts for a significant portion of the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions. Replacing parts of cement with other materials that

Om inte statusen på Sveriges byggnadsbestånd förbättras kommer miljömålet ”God bebyggd miljö” inte kunna uppfyllas. Då miljömålet beaktar många aspekter måste ett holistiskt synsätt gälla vid genomförandet av åtgärder i byggnadsbeståndet. För att kunna göra detta måste en dialog föras kring viktiga aspekter på byggnadens samtliga områden mellan inblandade parter. Om en parameter ändras riskerar deCurrently, Sweden faces a major environmental challenge. If the status of its building stock doesn’t improve, the environmental goal “En god bebyggd miljö” will not be reached. Since this goal considers a wide range of aspects it’s essential that the same holistic approach is considered when implementing measures on the building stock. For this to be possible, an extensive dialogue needs to be hel

Despite decades of intense research, the behavior of water molecule still warrants new research.Water flow through various pipe systems has become a pivotal corner stone of functioning human infrastructure. the energy consumed by the pumping system takes the proportion ofaround 22% of the supplied energy for electromotors around the world (Shankar et al. 2016). A large amount of annual budget in e

In this Master’s thesis we examine why public libraries, in different municipalities in the same city region, have chosen to make different decisions regarding the libraries accessibility during the covid-19 pandemic. These institutions are forced to show evidence of adaptability and competence to handle a situation of an unpredictable crisis with rapid turns and major consequences as a result. Th

Sverige har en av världens mest generösa föräldraförsäkringar. Föräldraförsäkringen är könsneutralt utformad, men trots detta tar kvinnor ut drygt 75 procent av föräldraledigheten. Syftet med denna uppsats är att, ur ett genusrättsvetenskapligt perspektiv, utreda om en individualiserad föräldraförsäkring borde införas och att genomföra en genuskritisk rättspolitisk studie av rätten genom att appliSweden has one of the world's most generous parental insurance. The parental insurance is designed to be gender neutral, but despite this, women take out more than 75 percent of the parental leave. The purpose of this paper is to, from a gender rights scientific perspective, investigate whether an individualised parental leave should be introduced and to conduct a gender-critical legal policy

Tidigare studier har visat att konstruktionen med platta på mark av trä uppfyller förväntade tekniska och miljömässiga egenskaper som kan förväntas av en grundläggning i allmänhet och av ett mer klimatneutralt material. Konstruktionen bedöms även vara konkurrenskraftig både i tillverkning och kostnad vid jämförelse med konventionella metoder. Småhustillverkare ser generellt positivt på produkten, Previous studies have shown that a construction of a slab foundation of wood meets the expected technical and environmental characteristics that can be expected from a foundation in general and from a more climate-neutral material. The design is also considered to be competitive both in manufacturing and cost when compared with conventional methods. Single-family home manufacturers generally view
