Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten i den här avhandlingen är det faktum att många av Sveriges kommuner har problem med minskande invånarantal och en skev befolkningsstruktur. Den här typen av utvecklingsmönster medför ofta svårigheter för en kommun att attrahera människor att flytta till kommunen, och att upprätthålla en tillfredsställande kommunal service. I sin förlängning kan detta få nMany of Sweden’s municipal districts show a population decline as well as an uneven population distribution. This pattern is neither desirable nor socially sustainable. Sustainable development is a well-known term often discussed from an ecological perspective. At the same time it is established that social and ecological sustainability are closely linked in several ways. In this dissertation soci

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har nu gått 20 år sedan ett utbrott av ledinflammation (arthrit), i Connecticut, USA, satte forskarna på spåret till den sjukdomsbild som vi idag kallar fästingöverförd borreliainfektion och det är snart 15 år sedan man lyckades isolera bakterien som orsakar sjukdomen, Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptomen på sjukdomen har visserligen varit kända sedan sekelskiftet men heEpidemiological and clinical characteristics of Lyme borreliosis (LB) in Sweden are described through a one year surveillance-study. The findings differed only marginally when compared to studies from the United States indicating similar clinical presentation of the disease. Incidence was 69/100.000/year with large variation between counties (26-160/100.000/year) and concentration of the disease t

BACKGROUND One of the most challenging tasks of modern biology concerns the real-time tracking and quantification of mRNA expression in living cells. On this matter, a novel platform called SmartFlareTM has taken advantage of fluorophore-linked nanoconstructs for targeting RNA transcripts. Although fluorescence emission does not account for the spatial mRNA distribution, NanoFlare technology has g

Surtsey island was formed in a volcanic eruption south of Iceland in 1963 – 1967 and has since then been protected and monitored by scientists. It is the youngest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The archipelago is of volcanic origin, but the other islands are ca. 5 000 to 40 000 yrs old. The first two moss species were found on Surtsey as early as 1967 and several new bryophyte species w

Background: The current lack of knowledge among entrepreneurs to manage the e-commerce market has created an increased need for incubator activities and the support that incubators can assist entrepreneurs with. Incubators intend to contribute with support for companies by assisting with various services where the success of business development can lie in different combinations of these services

Temperature measurements in trunks and branches in a mature ca. 100 years-old mixed pine and spruce forest in central Sweden were used to estimate the heat storage in the tree biomass. The estimated heat flux in the sample trees and data on biomass distributions were used to scale up to stand level biomass heat fluxes. The rate of change of sensible and latent heat storage in the air layer below t

Proton-detected NMR diffusion and P-31 NMR chemical shifts/bandwidths measurements were used to investigate a series of liposomal formulations where size and PEGylation extent need to be controlled for ultrasound mediated drug release. The width of the P-31 line is sensitive to aggregate size and shape and self-diffusion H-1 NMR conveys information about diffusional motion, size, and PEGylation ex

The end-Ordovician extinction consisted of two discrete pulses, both linked, in various ways, to glaciation at the South Pole. The first phase, starting just below the Normalograptus extraordinarius Zone, particularly affected nektonic and planktonic species, while the second pulse, associated with the Normalograptus persculptus Zone, was less selective. Glacially induced cooling and oxygenation a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Industrin i Sverige och i många andra länder står för en stor del av samhällets energianvändning och energi utgör en nödvändig insats i industrins processer och förädling av produkter. Industriell tillverkning sysselsätter dessutom många arbetstagare både direkt och indirekt i utbytet med övriga delar av samhället och ekonomin. Samtidigt medför energianvändning och relaAt EU and to a varying degree at Member State (MS) level, industrial energy efficiency improvement (EEI) is considered an attractive means for reaching political objectives of different dimensions, not least environmental. For energy-intensive manufacturing industry in particular, EEI can lead to cost reductions, improved profitability and competitiveness. However, research and other analyses show

In this study, six approaches were used to characterize hydrological changes in the Čepkeliai wetland complex (southeast Lithuania), namely (i) local water-table measurements (WTM), (ii) testate amoebae analysis, (iii) tree-ring width (TRW) series, (iv) peat stratigraphic data, (v) (hydro-) meteorological data (precipitation and river runoff), and (vi) a diachronic analysis of aerial photographs a

Tidigare svenska studier om prissättning och prismodeller i fjärrvärmeverksamhet har bidragit med viktiga aspekter ur ett produktionsperspektiv på hur man kan tänka vid utformning av prismodeller för fjärrvärme. Dessa studier har framförallt tryckt på att fjärrvärmens prismodeller bör återspegla fjärrvärmebolagets kostnader för produktion och distribution av fjärrvärme i kundledet då detta minskar

American bison (Bison bison L.) have recovered from the brink of extinction over the past century. Bison reintroduction creates multiple environmental benefits, but impacts on greenhouse gas emissions are poorly understood. Bison are thought to have produced some 2 Tg yr-1 of the estimated 9 15 Tg yr-1 of pre-industrial enteric methane emissions, but few measurements have been made due to their mo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utifrån epigrafiska källor analyserar avhandlingen Afrodites roll som ämbetsmannabeskyddarinna. Huvudmaterialet är 62 dedikationer till Afrodite: inskrifter från ämbetsmän eller dedikationer där gudinnan presenteras med ett epitet som alluderar på ett ämbete, t.ex. Afrodite Strategis, ‘Strategernas Afrodite’. Materialet visar att Afrodite dyrkades av ämbetsmän på ett paThrough the identification of a series of inscriptions, mainly datable to the Hellenistic era, a link between Aphrodite and the civic life and administration of the Greek poleis has come to light. The inscriptions in question are dedications to Aphrodite through which magistrates of various cities and varying status express their devotion to the goddess. In certain dedications, the goddess is even
