Old Red Sandstones and younger strata overlie a variety of deformed and metamorphosed Early Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks on Svalbard, referred to as the Hecla Hoek Complex. At least three different terranes are recognized, occurring in eastern, northwestern and southwestern areas. The Eastern Terrane is exposed in the northeastern parts of the Svalbard archipelago in Nordaustlandet and Ny Fries

Tidigare studier har dokumenterat ett flertal fossila meteoriter samt höga koncentrationer av utomjordisk kromit (ett järn-kromoxidmineral) i cirka 467 miljoner år gamla, mellanordoviciska sedimentlager. Fynden antas vara resultaten av ett tillfälligt förhöjt inflöde av meteoritiskt material, efter uppbrytningen av en kropp i asteroidbältet – de så kallade L-kondriternas föräldrakropp – för omkri

Samhällets behov av förnyelsebara energikällor har ökat; i april 2009 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2009/28/EG om främjande av användningen av energi från förnybara energikällor och om ändring och ett senare upphävande av direktiven 2001/77/EG samt 2003/30/EG. För Sveriges del innebar antagandet att Sverige fick som nationellt övergripande mål att andelen energi från förnybara enerSociety’s need of renewable sources of energy has increased; in April 2009 the European Parliament and Council adopted the directive 2009/28/EG on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC. For Sweden this meant the adoption of a new general objective in which the national goal is to have 49 percent of the

As much attention has devoted to the proteome research during the last years, biomarker discovery has become an increasingly hot area, potentially enabling the development of new assays for diagnosis and prognosis of severe diseases. This is the field of research interest where efforts originating from both academic and industrial groups should jointly work on solutions. In this paper we would lik

Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna arkeologiska studie syftar till att förstå de neolitiska samhällenas framväxt, organisation och förändring kring de västskånska ådalgångarna vid Saxån-Välabäcken och Lödde å-Kävlingeån. Arkeologiska undersökningar och fornminnesinventeringen har visat att området hyser omfattande lämningar av neolitiska bebyggelsekomplex — i form av bosättningar, gravfält, megalitgThis dissertation deals with Early and Middle Neolithic societies in a valley landscape in western Scania, in the southern part of Sweden. Several archaeological excavations conducted by the National Heritage Board have revealed a great number of Neolithic remains in this region. The sites constitute a substantial continuous sequence from the earliest to the latest phase of the Funnel Beaker Cultu

Meniscectomy is recognized as an important risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), a disease that traditionally has been considered as a simple "wear and tear" phenomenon. However, despite numerous reports, little evidence has been presented that a limited meniscal resection, compared with a more extensive resection, reduces the risk of OA by preserving meniscal function. Why?
