The essay discusses different aspects of the market for fish from the Baltic sea. The first chapter introduces the subject and discusses how the essay relates to fishery economics and gives a background of the development of the fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Prices of different attributes of Baltic cod is the topic of the second chapter. The results show that larger sized and better quality cod h
Polymorphisms within HLA gene loci are strongly associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disorders; however, it is not clear how genetic variations in these loci confer a disease risk. Here, we devised a cell-surface MHC expression assay to detect allelic differences in the intrinsic stability of HLA-DQ proteins. We found extreme variation in cell-surface MHC density among HLA-DQ alleles, indi
This thesis deals with conodont biostratigraphy and palaeoecology in the Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) of Baltoscandia, with focus on limestone strata showing traces of the ~ 470 Ma L-chondrite parent body break-up. The evidence for this cosmic event includes abundant centimeter to decimeter-sized fossil meteorites and elevated levels of sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial L-type chromite found
Geothermal energy is classified as a renewable energy source and it utilizes the heat generated in the earth primarily from the natural radioactive decay of isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium. Heat is extracted from the earth to generate geothermal energy via a carrier, usually water occurring either in the liquid or steam phase. In the late 19th century and the early 20th century, the fir

Understanding the responses of tundra systems to global change has global implications. Most tundra regions lack sustained environmental monitoring and one of the only ways to document multi-decadal change is to resample historic research sites. The International Polar Year (IPY) provided a unique opportunity for such research through the Back to the Future (BTF) project (IPY project #512). This a
Popular AbstractStudien är ett försök att analysera den sociala konstruktionen av "medievåld" i den svenska pressdebatten 1980-1995. Totalt analyserades 1029 artiklar ur sju av Sveriges största dags- och kvällstidningar. Många artiklar refererar till vetenskapliga "bevis" att våld i medierna föder faktisk aggression. En närmare analys av medieeffektforskningen avslöjar dock att det påstådda samban
Protamines are the most abundant nuclear proteins and alterations in their expression have been described in infertile patients. Also, protamine haplo-insufficient mice have been described as infertile. Therefore, the protamine 1 and 2 genes have been considered important candidates in different mutational studies. In this article, we review all published articles related to protamine gene mutatio
Many small enterprises that are planning to implement environmental management systems (EMSs) and get certified according to the ISO 14001 standard or EMAS regulation have experienced a lot of barriers on the road towards certification. The standards are perceived as bureaucratic and represent a way of working that often fits poorly into the organizational culture and decision-making structure of
Som ett av tre perspektiv i DigiTrust-projektet riktar detta kapitel in sig mot rättens roll i relation till tillit och det digitala. Kapitlet introducerar området och analyserar sedan det s.k. Datalagringsdirektivet i ljuset av att det i april 2014 underkändes av EU-domstolen, efter att ha implementerats i medlemsstaterna. Direktivet handlar i stort om att ålägga internetoperatörer en massiv lagr
