Popular AbstractInnovation, skapandet av nya produkter och processer, är i hög grad ojämnt fördelat över det geografiska rummet. Denna ojämna fördelning har stor betydelse för regionala ekonomiers relativa framgång. Geografiskt koncentrerat kunskapsutbyte mellan företag och andra organisationer är många gånger avgörande för dessa aktörers sammanlagda innovativa kapacitet, och därmed för regionens Innovation, the act and outcome of making something novel, is unevenly distributed across the geographical landscape. This uneven distribution has a profound impact on the differential success of regional economies. Localized learning between co-located firms and organizations provides an important source of increased innovation for regions to face challenges posed by increasingly global competiti

This thesis aimed to examine the relationship between climate and atmospheric CO2 concentrations through rapid climate changes during the Holocene. Climate was reconstructed using high-resolution, radiocarbon dated, lake sediment geochemical proxies (magnetic susceptibility, loss-on-ignition, total carbon/nitrogen/sulphur determinations and biogenic silica), vegetational reconstruction (pollen ana

A possible role for infections of the pregnant mother in the development of childhood acute leukemias and lymphomas has been suggested. However, no specific infectious agent has been identified. Offspring of 74,000 mothers who had serum samples taken during pregnancy and stored in a large-scale biobank were followed up to the age of 15 years (750,000 person years) through over-generation linkages

We propose “rehabilitation”, defining semiotic stage as a (not necessarily stable) period characterized by the clear establishment of a novel semiotic capacity, which may “dominate” the communication of the child at this stage, but does not replace capacities from previous

Intag av söta livsmedel har ökat i Sverige och övriga västvärlden. Typ av söta livsmedel har också ändrat karaktär; sött finns idag främst som dryck – läskkonsumtionen står i särklass över andra söta drycker. Aptitreglering för socker har beskrivits i djurmodeller, där det visats att opiatfrisättning triggar sockerintag i en uppåtgående spiral. Troligen gäller samma för människa. Sött frisätter op
