The reactions between trans-[Au(CN) 2 X 2 ] - (X = Cl or Br) and Me 2 S have been studied by conventional and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry in acidic aqueous solution containing 10% (w/w) methanol. The overall stoichiometry Au III ∶Me 2 S is 1∶(1.0 ± 0.1) in agreement with the reaction: trans-[Au(CN) 2 X 2 ] - + Me 2 S + H 2 O → [Au(CN) 2 ] - + Me 2 SO + 2H + + 2X - . Initial rapid
Finance ministries are increasingly involved in UN climate finance negotiations,yet this development received very limited attention in the literature on climate finance or climate negotiations. It is not obvious from the literature on bureaucratic politics how these ministries will position themselves on climate finance: they may frame climate finance as expenditure to be limited or as an instrum
Tropical forest productivity is sustained by the cycling of nutrients through decomposing organic matter. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a key role in the nutrition of tropical trees, yet there has been little experimental investigation into the role of AM fungi in nutrient cycling via decomposing organic material in tropical forests. We evaluated the responses of AM fungi in a long-term l
Previous studies report high and increasing iron (Fe) concentrations in boreal river mouths. This Fe has shown relatively high stability to salinity-induced aggregation in estuaries. The aim of this study was to understand how the speciation of Fe affects stability over salinity gradients. For Fe to remain in suspension interactions with organic matter (OM) are fundamental and these interactions c
In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum. The defensive strategies employed by these two businesses to deal with allegations of crime will be analysed on the basis of Stanley Cohen’s theoretical work on processes of denial and neutralisation techniques. This paper will focus on a particular form of denial, namely the In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum.

Purpose The purpose is to identify, categorise and describe barriers for a fossil-free transport system for urban goods. Design/methodology/approach The barriers are studied from a systems perspective in a case of a mid-sized Nordic city. Data are collected from 15 semi-structured interviews with officials from the city and representatives of private companies, and from policy documents and a work
Changes in nutrient bioavailability due to increased loading of dissolved organic matter (DOM) may impact boreal freshwaters. Yet, the relative bioavailability of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) associated with terrestrial DOM remains poorly understood. We applied short-term bioassays with natural bacterial inocula to determine seasonal variation in bioavailable organic nutrient pools
Recycling of livestock manure in agroecosystems has been shown to enhance the sustainability of food production and reduce adverse environmental consequences from intensive crop-livestock systems. However, the effect of manure application on the associations between soil quality and ecosystem multifunctionality still remains poorly understood. Hereby, we used a five-year field experiment to invest
Agricultural landscapes have changed fast in Europe, which has led to steep declines in farmland biodiversity. While this has differentially impacted “farmland species”, some of these seem to be able to use alternative man-made open habitats in forests, such as forest clear-cuts and powerline rights-of-way. We investigated the use of clear-cuts by two historically declining farmland birds, the Yel
Mexico is the most transited corridor in the world. Beyond borderlands, human rights abuses committed against migrants pervade across transit communities and routes. In the interior of Mexico, not only at borders, the criminalization of migration has occurred having as a backdrop violence, xenophobia and insecurity in transit communities. Transit communities have developed complex relationships wi
Background: Prognoses of most adult Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are excellent; most of them can achieve permanent remission that can be considered cured. However, many are under-treated or over-treated by standard modern therapies. An accurate determination of prognosis may allow clinicians to design personalised treatment according to individual risk of disease progression and survival. Lympho
This mapping provides an overview of different types of arenas where the two concepts Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and Blue Carbon (BC) are discussed. EbA has been defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as “The use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.” (CBD, 2009). BC
Popular Abstract in Swedish Every breath you take – Every move you make Astma och allergier tillhör våra vanligaste folksjukdomar och de har ökat under de senaste fyra decennierna, särskilt bland barn och ungdomar. Under samma period så har inställningen till fysisk aktivitet och olika livsstilsfaktorer i samhället förändrats. Det är allmänt accepterat att fysisk aktivitet är bra for hälsan och viAsthma and allergies are common diseases in adolescents and have increased during the last few decades. All elite level sports activities result in increased risk of asthma and rhinitis regardless of sport practised. Physical activity is at the same time regarded as a health-promoting factor and is recommended both for the prevention and treatment of diseases. The aim of this study was to explore
Recent studies have shown that dissolved organic matter (DOM) decomposed by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi increases adsorptive properties of organic matter towards soil mineral surfaces. Concomitantly, ECM fungi secrete secondary metabolites with iron reducing capacity that are thought to participate in non-enzymatic Fenton-based decomposition of DOM. The aim of this study was to investigate if the
Widespread increases in iron (Fe) concentrations are contributing to ongoing browning of northern freshwaters, but the driver/s behind the trends are not known. Fe mobilization in soils is known to be controlled by redox conditions, pH, and DOC availability for complexation. Moreover, high sulfate concentrations have been suggested to constrain Fe in transition from soil to water, and declining su
Studies showing that large-scale public health interventions in early life have lasting consequences are still scarce and rarely disclose the mechanisms. In 1931–1946, the Swedish state reformed the childbirth institutional system that led to the openings of the new maternity wards and to the gradual decline in home deliveries assisted by midwives. Maternity wards offered improved conditions for a
The recent more or less complete return and recovery in Skåne, southern-most Sweden, of epiphytic bryophyes known to have suffered from atmospheric pollution in the mid 1900’s, e.g. Zygodon rupestris, Antitrichia curtipendula, Leucodon sciuroides, Orthotrichum lyellii, O. speciosum and O. stramineum, is here discussed and illustrated on maps. However, apart from these successful recoveries, at lea
Denna avhandling utforskar relationen mellan politik och nya medier genom en studie av digital diplomati i den Europeiska utrikestjänsten (EEAS) 2011-2017. Den belyser hur en diplomatisk organisation internaliserar medielogik. Traditionella ansatser utgår ofta från att medielogiken tar över den politiska logiken. I denna avhandling betonas istället betydelsen av politisk kontext, dess aktörer och This thesis explores the relationship between politics and new media in the context of digital diplomacy at the European External Action Service (EEAS) 2011-2017. In contrast to dominant approaches to the mediatization of politics that consider political logic to be dominated or even replaced by media logic, it gives greater emphasis to the role of the political context, its actors and their pract
