Biodiversity offsetting (BO) is aimed to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects. In Sweden, interest in BO within urban planning has grown since the mid-to-late 1990s, when the approach was first piloted in the municipality of Lomma. Because urban planning often involves non-protected nature, BO is not legally mandated but instead implemented on a voluntary basis. So far, ev

The 1990s were significant for several events promoting environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. For instance, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, which stressed the need to stop the overconsumption of natural resources and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change endorsed a framework to combat climate change. Si

Determining the drivers of intraspecific variation in cognitive performance is crucial for understanding how cognition evolves, but experimental studies are scarce. Several correlational studies have supported the hypothesis that living in larger groups enhances cognitive performance. However, empirical explanations of whether and how living in large groups causally affects individual cognitive pe

Current market trends for industrial automation are the need for customizable production, shorter time to market, and powerful global competitive pressure. Based on these trends two challenges have been identified: 1) flexible production systems and 2) integration and utilization of devices and software. Applications from both process automation, manufacturing, and robotics have been considered.

The infrastructure for the third generation of mobile telephony, UMTS, is under construction in Sweden. Within three years four operators were to build competing systems to cover 99,98 % of the population. The case of the 3G infrastructure illustrates how the sustainability issues are handled in planning and environmental management, with conflicting goals between institutional levels and compet

Methacrylic acid was produced in high yield by an integrated process involving bioconversion of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (2M1,3PD) to 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid (3H2MPA) via 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal (3H2MPAL), and catalytic dehydration of the resulting acid. Whole cells of Gluconobacter oxydans grown on glycerol-based culture medium were used as the catalyst for oxidative biotransformation

Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos major and D. syriacus) are known to hybridize in nature; however, the extent of this phenomenon is not known due to difficulties in hybrid detection based on plumage analyses. Here, we tested five markers (one mitochondrial and four nuclear) and a set of six microsatellite loci for the identification of these two Woodpeckers and their hybrids. Sequ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mellan 0.3 och 2.1 % av alla barn föds med portvins fläckar (PWS). Till skillnad mot vissa andra kärlmissbildningar försvinner inte PWS utan tvärtom blir många mer blåröda och tjockare med åren. Majoriteten av patienterna upplever sig vara negativt psykosocialt påverkade av sitt PWS i jämförelse med jämnåriga. Dessa negativa upplevelser minskar efter behandlingarna.(Se This thesis covers 12 years of experience in treating patients with congenital capillary malformations, so called port wine stains (PWS). The wide variation in treatment response to laser therapy has developed a profound need for the development of objective devises to measure treatment outcome, so that the maximum effectiveness of therapy can be achieved without unnecessary treatments. The purpos

Designers’ work sometimes originates from a simplified view of human demands and needs, which may result in furniture that does not fulfill the user requirements. If we consider old people as one group with fairly similar needs and demands rather than have realistic images of old people as a heterogeneous group there is a tendency that it will result in misguided efforts to design for wellbeing. T

Components of dissolved organic matter (DOM) span from sub-nm molecules to colloidal aggregates of several hundred nm. The colloidal fraction is important for the transport of organic matter and associated elements in the environment, and for the stability of DOM constituents with respect to microbial decomposition. This study focuses on the colloidal properties of DOM extracted from spruce forest

Background: Current evidence supports the use of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase in patients with wake-up stroke selected with MRI or perfusion imaging and is recommended in clinical guidelines. However, access to advanced imaging techniques is often scarce. We aimed to determine whether thrombolytic treatment with intravenous tenecteplase given within 4·5 h of awakening improves functiona

Background: Increasing carbon stock in standing forests is one of the proposed ways to mitigate climate change. However, in production forests, this typically would lead to reduced harvesting possibilities and thus reduced financial gain for the forest owners. The size of this reduction should depend on the chosen target level of the carbon stock as well as the required speed of accumulation. Furt

The mobilisation of psychologists in Sweden working for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and queer (LGBTQ) wellbeing and rights has so far not succeeded in creating continuity despite several attempts to establish some kind of organisation since the mid 1990s. A new attempt was made in 2013 when the Swedish LGBTQ network for psychologists was formed following a formal decision at the congress of the

Objectives: Our aim was to compare direct costs for single pill combinations (SPCs) and free-drug combinations for hypertension treatment. Methods: We focused on Australia as a case study and reviewed total costs, and for the patient and government. We reviewed the Australian “Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme item drug map” considering different thresholds for the government safety net. Total costs

BACKGROUND: Exertional breathlessness is a major symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and is often assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) questionnaire. The mMRC might underestimate exertional breathlessness in people with impaired exercise capacity who have reduced their physical activity to avoid the symptom. We aimed to evaluate the ability of mMRC to detect abnormally high

Declining butterfly abundance over recent decades coincides with both habitat loss and increasingly warmer springs. Warmer temperatures could pose a problem for ‘capital’ breeders, especially those species that enter winter diapause as a pupa or adult, since a higher metabolic rate pre-eclosion is expected to further deplete lipid stores needed for egg production. We undertook an experiment on Pie
