In December 2019, China reported the first cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has developed into a pandemic. To date, it has resulted in ~9 million confirmed cases and caused almost 500 000 related deaths worldwide. Unequivocally, the COVID-19 pandemic is the gravest health and socioeco
An active line of research in proof complexity over the last decade has been the study of proof space and trade-offs between size and space. Such questions were originally motivated by practical SAT solving, but have also led to the development of new theoretical concepts in proof complexity of intrinsic interest and to results establishing nontrivial relations between space and other proof comple
The development of real-time ultrasound in the 1970's made indelible inpact on antenatal care. Assessing foetal growth and detecting deviations from normal in both growth and foetal anatomy became fesible. Expectant parents could also 'see' their foetus. Normal foetal growth parameters at term were consituted and selected parameters from the second trimester were evaluated in the detection of chro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling sammanfattar studier av en ny biologisk markör för påvisande av alkoholmissbruk. Alkoholmissbruk är ett omfattande hälsoproblem i många delar av världen och Sverige är inte på något sätt undantaget. Man har beräknat att ca 15% av alla män och 10% av alla kvinnor i detta land står för hälften av all alkoholkonsumtion. Det föreligger alltså en onormal förBiological markers offer a way of assessing ethanol intake and determining whether a health problem is alcohol related. This study investigated the use of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in blood as a new marker of alcohol abuse. PEth is an abnormal phospholipid, formed only in the presence of ethanol via the transphosphatidylation reaction of phospholipase D (PLD). A new HPLC-evaporative light scatter
Popular Abstract in Swedish VIKTEN AV HETEROGENA JORDBRUKSMILJÖER FÖR GRÅSPARVEN Under de senaste 40 åren har vårt odlingslandskap genomgått kraftiga strukturella förändringar som en konsekvens av att jordbruket har intensifierats och effektiviserats. Dessa förändringar har möjliggjort en nödvändig, ökad produktion av spannmål och andra grödor men samtidigt har det haft förödande konsekvenser på dStrong declines of European farmland birds in recent decades are assumed to be caused by decreased food availability resulting from agricultural intensification and concomitant loss of farmland heterogeneity. One of the species suffering particularly strong declines in NW European countries is the house sparrow. In this thesis I investigated the importance of farmland land-use on house sparrow eco
Popular AbstractI avhandlingen undersöks den ekonomiska omvandlingsprocess som skett i Sverige sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Av speciellt intresse är hur och varför de fördelar som företag och branscher åtnjuter på grund av samlokalisering med andra ekonomiska aktörer (så kallade agglomerationsexternaliteter) varierar över olika faser av ekonomisk omvandling. Avhandlingen baserar sig på de framsteg This thesis investigates the process of economic transformation taking place in Sweden since the mid 1970s. Especially, it is concerned with how and why benefits that firms and industries draw from regional co-location with other actors (agglomeration externalities) vary over stages of economic transformation. Drawing on recent findings within the fields of evolutionary economics and evolutionary
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den huvudsakliga hämmande signalsubstansen i hjärnan är GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid, gamma-aminosmörsyra). GABA finns i ungefär hälften av alla nervceller i hjärnan och alla nervceller i hjärnan antas ha receptorer som binder GABA. Om man tänker på alla de normala neurologiska funktioner samt rubbningar där GABA är involverat är det inte svårt att förstå GABA:s oerhörInhibitory neurotransmission in the brain is mostly mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors. These receptors are involved in both phasic inhibition (point-to-point inhibition, synaptic transmission) and tonic inhibition (diffuse form of inhibition, brain homeostasis). In this thesis the functional and pharmacological properties of GABAA receptors expressed in brain slices or i
A heavy-duty diesel engine operating case producing no engine-out smoke was studied using combined simultaneous optical diagnostics. The case was close to a typical low-load modern diesel operating point without EGR. Parallels were drawn to the conceptual model by Dec and results from high-pressure combustion vessels. Optical results revealed that no soot was present in the upstream part of the je
In this study, the adsorption of nonionic amphiphiles from aqueous solutions to solid, planar surfaces is investigated using null ellipsometry. This technique allows independent measurements of the amounts adsorbed at the surface and of the mean optical thickness of the adsorbed layer. The time resolution is sufficient for investigating the dynamics of adsorption and desorption in systems of this
Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a modulator of neuronal transmission in mature neuronal systems, including the retina. Recently, NO has also been suggested to have a trophic function during development. We examined immunocytochemically the distribution of NO-producing cells in developing and transplanted rabbit retinas. An antibody detecting the neuronal isoform of its biosynthetic enzyme, nitric oxide
During the last two decades or so, film support, film policy and the public financing of audiovisual production in Scandinavia and particularly Sweden have undergone extensive transformation. In diverse ways, these changes can be seen as responses to globalization, to increased sub-national regional independence as well as to the emerging idea of nurturing ‘creative industries’ taking hold. They m
This paper reports simultaneous detection of ultra violet (UV) absorbance and native UV-excited fluorescence in an electrophoresis microchip using UV transparent integrated waveguides. Absorbance detection enables detection of a wide range of analytes. When exposed to UV light, some compounds also exhibit native fluorescence, which is here detected simultaneously. Calibration curves were measured

1809 antogs en ny regeringsform i Sverige. En nyhet i denna var att den ålade kungen att skydda var och ens rätt till fri religionsutövning, vilket på ytan verkar innebära att religionsfrihet infördes. Samtidigt fanns det i kyrkolagen och missgärningsbalken regler som innebar att svenska medborgare var förbjudna att konvertera från den luthersk-evangeliska kristendomen. Det till synes paradoxala fSweden adopted a new constitution in 1809. It included an article that obligated the king to protect each and everyone’s right to freely practice their religion. This seems like an introduction of religious freedom into Swedish law. However, general law prohibited Swedish citizens from deviating from lutheranian christianity. This thesis focuses on the seemingly contradictory relationship between
There is an urgent need to start generating energy within cities in order to pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient society. Renewable energy by means of active solar energy systems (solar thermal, ST and/or photovoltaics, PV) can be generated using roofs and facades of buildings. In this study, the annual solar energy potential of typical Swedish city blocks was analysed in order to de
