This thesis explores the conditions to improve collaborative behaviour between organizations in crisis response management. It takes an explorative approach and begins by identifying several challenges to interorganizational collaboration. A systematic review of the international scientific literature in conjuction with semi-structured interviews with crisis management professionals in civil-milit

E-GIS is a Leonardo pilot project, within Geographical Information Science (GIS), to be implemented over a three year period, 2002-05. The main objectives of the project is to establish co-operation between European Universities and GIS user organisations and to develop modularised courses intended for Internet based learning, establish links of communications between the partners in the project i

Under åren 1995-99 beviljades 183 projekt medel ur EU:s sociala fond (mål 3) vid Länsarbetsnämnden i Skåne. Projektet New Deal var ett av dessa. Projektets syfte var trefaldigt; att få långtidsarbetslösa inom kontor och handel att ändra yrkesinriktning, utveckla nya metoder och arbetssätt för att hantera strukturell arbetslöshet samt sprida ny kunskap till den reguljära verksamheten.

Ethanol production by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from dilute acid lignocellulose hydrolyzate was studied with the aim to improve fuel ethanol production. Specifically, the problem of inhibition was addressed. Lignocellulose hydrolyzate contains not only sugars, but also several compounds, such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), which can inhibit yeast growth and ethanol produc

Artificiell Intelligens (AI) är ett förhållandevis nytt område som befinner sig i en närmast explosiv utveckling. Då det dessutom finns mycket inom AI-tekniken som skulle kunna vara till stor nytta för personer med olika typer av handikapp är det kanske d

Two different sensitive microtitre-plate based enzyme immunoassays were developed and evaluated for determination of the model drug compound, budesonide, in blood plasma. In the first approach, high sensitivity was obtained by using amperometric detection in a flow injection system for determination of the enzyme product p-aminophenol. The high sensitivity in the second approach was obtained using

Åren 1999–2003 avled drygt 3 000 patienter under intensivvård södra sjukvårdsregionen. I endast 6 procent av fallen (174 patienter) hade man konstaterat total hjärninfarkt med medicinska möjligheter till organdonation. Samtycke till organdonation gavs i drygt hälften av fallen. En motsvarande registrering kan i kvalitetssäkringsprogrammet för intensivvården (PASIVA) bli en rikstäckande kvalitetssäA complete registration of all deceased patients at intensive care units in the Southern Health region of Sweden has shown that 3,114 patients died during the five years from 1999 to 2003. Only 174 cases (5.6 per cent) were classified as potential organ donors according to the definition of total brain infarction (brain death) without medical contra-indications against organ donation.

Type 1 diabetes is a common, multifactorial disease with strong familial clustering (genetic risk ratio [{lambda}S] ~ 15). Approximately 40% of the familial aggregation of type 1 diabetes can be attributed to allelic variation of HLA loci in the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6p21 (locus-specific {lambda}S ~ 3). Three other disease susceptibility loci have been clearly demonstrated

Galectins are implicated in a large variety of biological functions, many of which depend on their carbohydrate-binding ability. Fifteen members of the family have been identified in vertebrates based on binding to galactose (Gal) that is mediated by one or two, evolutionarily conserved, carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs). Variations in glycan structures expressed on glycoconjugates at the ce

The distribution of 50 species in the south Swedish provinces of Skane (Scania). Halland, Blekinge, Oland and Smaland has been mapped. Many of the species are endemic to southern Scandinavia and some are local endemics within the investigated area. However, there are also several species with a wider North European distribution. Within the area, the number of species shows a regular decline from t

Popular AbstractLandsbygdens landskap förändras ständigt. Ekonomi, teknik och politik används ofta för att förklara det som sker, men ingen av dessa krafter verkar direkt i landskapet. I praktiken är det beslut som fattas lokalt av enskilda brukare och markägare som sätter spår. Landskapet är där sammanvävt med den sociala miljön, och markanvändningen en integrerad del av den enskildes liv. Hur seFarmers and Landscape. Owners and farmers relations to their land, and the prospects for sustainable land use. In a transition towards sustainability, rural land use is of certain interest, owing to the environmental impact of modern farming and forestry, and also to its potential role in a recycling society. The prospects for sustainable land use depend on the farmers. Their conception of sustai

Methods of analysing and interpreting two-dimensional velocity field data in order to understand the scales of turbulence of bubbly two-phase flow were developed. Reynolds decomposition and large eddy simulation (LES) decompositions (low-pass filtering), in conjunction with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) energy spectra analysis, as well as adjusted convective decomposition (constant convect

To increase the overall ethanol yield from softwood, the steam pretreatment stage can be carried out in two steps. The two-step pretreatment process was evaluated from a techno-economic standpoint and compared with the one-step pretreatment process. The production plants considered were designed to utilize spruce as raw material and have a capacity of 200 000 tons/year. The two-step process result
