Context. The first release of astrometric data from Gala will contain the mean stellar positions and magnitudes from the first year of observations, and proper motions from the combination of Gala data with HIPPARCOS prior information (HTPM). Aims. We study the potential of using the positions from the Tycho-2 Catalogue as additional information for a joint solution with early Gala data. We call t

This thesis aims to analyze the methods of existing studies on the relationship be- tween energy intensity and economic variables. I study panel data from 42 countries to examine the cointegration between energy intensity and GDP, capital stock, pop- ulation, and CO2 emissions as well as estimate their relationship with a pooled common correlated effects (CCEP) estimator. Then I investigate the he
The overall aims of this thesis were to improve prediction, diagnostics and knowledge on epidemiology of sepsis. In paper I, we developed and evaluated an integrated platform for rapid analysis of sepsis-causing organisms directly from blood samples. Testing with blood samples spiked with bacteria and samples from septic patients indicate that the detection limit of the system is in the upper partThe overall aims of this thesis were to improve prediction, diagnostics and knowledge on epidemiology of sepsis.

Existing knowledge suggests that people's willingness to pay (WTP) for climate change mitigation depends not only on personal characteristics but also on the payment vehicle (PV) that is used to elicit WTP. The aim of this research is to investigate policy-relevant differences in WTP between different PVs to support the design of carbon pri
Abstract Sedentary behavior is defined as sitting or lying with low energy expenditure. Humans in industrialized societies spend an increasing amount of time in sedentary behaviors every day. This has been associated with detrimental health outcomes. Despite a growing interest in the health effects of sedentary behavior at work, associations remain unclear, plausibly due to poor and diverse methodSedentary behavior is defined as sitting or lying with low energy expenditure.

Adopting a postcolonial theoretical framework, drawing specifically on the concepts of imagined geographies and subaltern nationalism, this thesis explores the motivations behind pro-Palestinian activism among the post-accord generation in Northern Ireland since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict beginning on October 7, 2023. Based on in-depth interviews, field observations and onl
SWENOTECA has since 1998 offered patients with clinical stage I (CS I) nonseminoma, adjuvant chemotherapy with one course of bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP). The aim has been to reduce the risk of relapse, sparing patients the need of toxic salvage treatment. Initial results on 312 patients treated with one course of adjuvant BEP, with a median follow-up of 4.5 years, have been previously
We aimed to validate a widely used US prediction model for vaginal birth after cesarean (Grobman et al. [8]) and modify it to suit Swedish conditions.
Purpose – The rate of turnover of hospital managers has been high in Sweden. Hospitals are regarded to be difficult to manage, which is connected with different discourses and action logics such as politics, medicine, care and management creating complex conditions for hospital management. The purpose of this paper is to analyse hospital managers' management conditions in conjunction with hospital
On the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, two countries share the same environmental and climatic pre-conditions, but show monumental differences in current forest-cover. While tropical forests are covering almost half of the Dominican Republic, Haiti is down to just a few percent. In this thesis, political ecology and earlier research is combined to formulate four hypotheses: colonial history, human
An increased regional trade in Africa is often defined as a key tool for a continued development of the continent, but although a numerous of policies aiming at increasing the trade have been adopted, the intra-regional trade remains stubbornly low. Why is that so? In this thesis some of the factors that potentially are affecting the trade are studied in a qualitative design. By conducting case st
In the midst of growing research and societal discourse on psychedelic substances, a consistent finding is reported: A majority of users report profound personal meaning from their experiences. This pioneering study in Sweden, a nation renowned for its strict drug policies, sought to quantify the extent of reported meaningfulness among Swedish psychedelic users. Results revealed that a majority of
Understanding variation in survival and reproduction is key for conservation and management of bird populations. By compiling and analysing data on hatching success (i.e. proportion of nests with at least one hatched egg) from Common Eider Somateria m. mollissima, Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca and Red-breasted Merganser Mergus serrator, all breeding on a single island in the Baltic Sea, we demonst

Most of the Swedish subfossil finds of terrestrial mammals have been recovered from Scania. The contributing factors may be that the locally more abundant Late Weichselian sediment basins have been exposed through the extensive practice of peat cutting during the 19th century, and that the public awareness of the significance of the bones and antlers found, prior to the birth of the modern archaeo
