Cancer risk in amyloidosis patients in Sweden with novel findings on non-Hodgkin lymphoma and skin cancer
Background: Systemic amyloidosis (SSA) is a common form of amyloidosis but it remains often unnoticed because of the slow progression in old patients. The cause for SSA is the accumulation of wild-type transthyretin amyloids in critical tissues. We provide here data showing that SSA may be associated with old-age non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Systemic amyloidoses include immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amy
Neighbourhood Environment and Stroke: A Follow-Up Study in Sweden
Background: In recent years, research on the association between physical environments and cardiovascular disease outcomes has gained momentum with growing attention being paid to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This nationwide study is the first to examine the effect of neighbourhood physical environments on individual-level stroke, using GIS-based measures of neighbourhood availability of
Drastic historic shifts in bumble-bee community composition in Sweden
The species richness of flower-visiting insects has declined in past decades, raising concerns that the ecosystem service they provide by pollinating crops and wild plants is threatened. The relative commonness of different species with shared ecological traits can play a pervasive role in determining ecosystem functioning, but information on changes in abundances of pollinators over time is lacki
The impact of urban design decisions on net zero energy solar buildings in Sweden
Planning for future energy-efficient and energy-producing buildings requires specific knowledge during the design process. Many design decisions taken by urban planners –form, density, roof type and orientation – have a significant effect on the conditions of such buildings, although urban planners might not always be aware of the effect of their design. This study examines the effects of importan
Swedish Air Travellers and Voluntary Carbon Offsets: Towards the Co-Creation of Environmental value?
There is now broad consensus that aviation is a significant contributor to global warming, and various mechanisms are currently discussed to reduce the sectors’ emissions of greenhouse gases. The European Union is likely to include aviation in its emission trading system by 2011, but globally no such system is discussed. One question is thus of whether voluntary carbon offsetting schemes can make
Estimating Net Primary Production of Swedish Forest Landscapes by Combining Mechanistic Modeling and Remote Sensing
Energy Services in Sweden - Customer Relations towards Increased Sustainability
Energy use and supply are evident issues to consider for a sustainable development, where the economic, social and environmental aspects are all important. In large grid-bound systems, the supply of energy is usually a rather invisible activity and the contacts between household custo-mers and utilities are sometimes only repre-sented through the energy bill. In this thesis, three particular field
