Arguably among the most globally impactful climate changes in Earth's past million years are the glacial terminations that punctuated the Pleistocene epoch. With the acquisition and analysis of marine and continental records, including ice cores, it is now clear that the Earth's climate was responding profoundly to changes in greenhouse gases that accompanied those glacial terminations. But the u

Terrestrial Arctic ecosystems play a key role in the global carbon (C) cycle, as they store a large amount of organic matter in permafrost. Among regions with continuous permafrost, Svalbard has one of the warmest permafrost and may provide a template of the environmental responses of Arctic regions to future climate change. We analyze the CO2 fluxes at a polygonal tundra site in Adventdalen (Sval

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogenous disease, but once it becomes metastatic it eventually becomes treatment resistant. One mechanism of resistance to AR-targeting therapy is lineage plasticity, where the tumor undergoes a transformation to an AR-indifferent phenotype, most studied in the context of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, activation of additional de- or trans-diff

Efterfrågan på biologiska läkemedel blir allt större, i och med att det med tiden upptäckts fler användningsområden för till exempel antikroppar, enzymer och virus. Dessa har i många fall blivit standardläkemedel för att behandla till exempel diabetes, vissa neurologiska sjukdomar och HIV/AIDS. Biologiska läkemedel känneteckas av att produceras av celler som genetiskt har modifierats. Från dessa cThis thesis addresses a challenge in continuous high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): ensuring reliable, timely supply of buffer solutions. As biopharmaceutical production increasingly moves toward continuous operation, buffer management becomes critical, since chromatography requires multiple buffer types with precise compositions for washing, elution, equilibration, and regeneration. In

Lojalitet är ett begrepp som har funnits sedan urminnes tider, såväl från en moralisk synpunkt som en juridisk. Redan under romarriket fanns det krav på lojalitet gentemot huvudmän av differentierade slag. Vidare, under människo historiens utveckling, har lojalitet kontinuerligt spelat en central roll. Moti veringen, till ovan nämnda, är behovet av att samhället upprätthåller grund läggande etisThe principle of loyalty has existed since ancient times, both from a moral perspective as well as a judicial one. As early as the Roman Empire, the public imposed demands on loyalty to various types of principles. As different soci eties evolved at their own pace and in their own direction, loyalty continued to play a role in contractual relationships. This was based on the understand ing that

1. Theory predicts that the processes generating biodiversity after disturbance will change during succession. Comparisons of phylogenetic and functional (alpha and beta) diversity with taxonomic diversity can provide insights into the extent to which community assembly is driven by deterministic or stochastic processes, but comparative approaches have yet to be applied to successional systems. 2.

Aim In many cases, human colonization drastically modified the ecosystems of remote oceanic islands before scientists arrived to document the changes. Palaeoecological records before and after human colonization provide insights into the original ecosystems and an assessment of subsequent human impact. We used pollen analysis to compare the impact of 15th century colonization of the Azores with th

I tidigare forskning om krig presenteras ofta ensidiga bilder av fenomenen krigsvåld, offerskap och försoning. Denna bok utgår från berättelser av överlevande efter kriget i Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att analysera hur de intervjuade beskriver dessa fenomen samt vilka diskursiva mönster som framträder i konstruktionen av begreppen ”offer” och ”förövare”. Mina frågeställningar är: Hur beskThis book analyzes verbally depicted experiences of survivors from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One purpose to describe how the actors portray the social phenomenon of “war violence” “victimhood” and “reconciliation”, and the second aim is to analyze discursive patterns that emerges in the creation of the terms “victim” and “perpetrator”. My research questions are: (1) How do the interviewee

Climatic extreme events are expected to occur more frequently in the future, increasing the likelihood of unprecedented climate extremes (UCEs) or record-breaking events. UCEs, such as extreme heatwaves and droughts, substantially affect ecosystem stability and carbon cycling by increasing plant mortality and delaying ecosystem recovery. Quantitative knowledge of such effects is limited due to the

If places indeed matter, as economic geographers believe, then it must matter most to the people who live their everyday lives in these places and experience the world materially and socially through it. When a crisis hits and uncertainty ensues, it affects people who call these places home the most. So much so, that some of them might be willing to stake a claim on its recovery, and development t

The Southern California Borderland is a region that experiences strong natural variations in bottom water oxygen and pH. We use marine sediments from Santa Monica Basin to reconstruct environmental conditions in the basin's bottom water from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to present. We then compare the records to the adjacent Santa Barbara Basin and Santa Lucia Slope. High-resolution records of b

The contribution of forest harvesting to base cation losses and soil acidification has increased in recent years in Sweden, as the demand for bioenergy has increased and the sulphur deposition has decreased. Thus, new policy tools are required to evaluate the progress of the recovery from acidification, and as a basis for forest management recommendations. In this study we introduce and test a con

Fysiska förändringar i redan bebyggda områden har i vissa fall visat sig vara problematiskt, inte minst med hänsyn till påverkan på det sociala livet. För att möta behovet av den ökade befolkningen i Sverige idag är förtätning ett alternativ för att inte ta värdefull mark i anspråk, vilket innebär att det byggs tätare och högre i redan bebyggda områden. Vid sådana fysiska förändringar är det därföWith the need for housing in Sweden high and steadily growing, there is now more emphasis than before on urban expansion in cities. Built areas consist of social relationships, structures and contacts which can be described as social risks when they lead to negative effects. Social effects are altered by changes in the physical environment, which is why it is essential to properly plan out these e

Många kommersiella avtalsförhållanden är komplexa, och då tvist avseende fel i avtalsprestationen uppstår måste käranden bevisa ett orsakssamband mellan svarandens agerande och skadan. Detta försvåras ofta av avtalsförhållandets långvarighet såväl som att det ofta finns flera möjliga alternativa orsaker till skadan. Det finns flera olika modeller för domstols prövning av parternas bevisning, och Many commercial partnerships are contractually complex, and when a dispute arrises, the plaintiff must show causation between the actions of the defendant and the damage sustained. This is often made difficult by the longevity of the partnership, as well as the often numerous alternative causes of the damage. There are several different methods by which the courts can try the evidence put forth b

The focus of this thesis is energy justice and sustainability science, and the argument is based on a case study of the Inga dams. Substantial further development of hydropower is planned at the Inga dams, located on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the project will add macro-economic benefits through the additional power, benefits are limited for people living nearby, a

Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65

Världen som vi känner den hålls samman av fyra grundläggande krafter. Gravitationskraften drar oss mot jorden och håller samman planeter, stjärnor och galaxer. Den elektromagnetiska kraften styr i princip allt annat vi upplever i vår vardag. Den starka kärnkraften håller samman protoner och neutroner i atomkärnor och binder de kvarkar som i sin tur bygger upp dessa partiklar, och den svaga kärnkraWe present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat

Med den snabbföränderliga världen i åtanke och med hänsyn till olika utmaningar som påverkar det svenska samhället idag såsom extremismen, rasismen, digitalisering, klimatförändringar med mera är det aktuellt att undersöka elevers kunskaper, upplevelser och uppfattningar om demokrati och medborgarskapande. Eleverna som är framtida medborgare, måste få den bildning som behövs för att tillgodose det
