This study is an exploration of the interdisciplinary field of urban sustainable development in the first stage of a PhD project in human ecology. The purpose of the PhD project is to study the premises for urban sustainable development in the context of (relatively) affluent economies in Europe or, more generally, in the North. My case study is Malmö placed in the Öresund region farthest south of
Each year as the seasons turn, the skies fill with millions of travellers. From the tundra to the tropics, birds embark on remarkable journeys guided by an innate programme and perform one of nature’s most remarkable phenomena: migration. In this thesis, I tackle the study of the genetic basis of migratory behaviour in several Phylloscopus species with a multimodal approach. Here, I combine geoloc
Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta cancerpatienter dör på grund av spridning av tumörceller till olika organ. Invasiv och metastaserande cancer svarar ofta inte på behandling och blir då i många fall dödlig. Leukemi är en elakartad sjukdom av blodceller, som påverkar blod-producerande organ. Den höga förekomsten av leukemi förekommer i äldre befolkningen och hos barn. Leukemi återfall och resiThe majority of current treatments used for treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) and leukemia are often limited to a narrow subsets of treated patients. As such, there still remains a significant scope for gaining deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis for improvement of targeted treatment.

Syftet med denna avhandling är att analysera hur berättelser om skyldiga och oskyldiga mödrar konstruerades under perioden ca. 1680-1800. De två brottskategorierna barnamord och barnkvävning har undersökts. Källmaterialet har huvudsakligen bestått av protokoll från hovrätten, underrätter och sockenstämmor. Jag har klarlagt vilka omständigheter som utreddes vid brottsutredningarna och fick betydelsThe objective of this thesis is to analyse how judicial texts concerning guilty and innocent mothers were constructed during the period of c. 1680-1800. The two crimes of infanticide and overlaying have been examined. Source materials have primarily consisted of proceedings from the appeals court, courts of first instance, and parish meetings. The aim has been to survey the judicial discourse, tha
ABSTRACTAs a part of a democratic demand for transparency in urban development processes it is important that design professionals hold the ability to scrutinise their own work process, and at certain stages let go of predefined ideas of future realities. This work revolves around how design professionals perceive options for design in such situations. A basic assumption in this work is that a des
En majoritet av de nordliga torvmarkerna utvecklades under holocen som ett resultat av en positiv massbalans mellan nettoprimärproduktion och heterotrofa nedbrytningshastigheter. Sedan dess har de lagrat stora mängder kol i terrestra ekosystem. En betydande del av dessa områden sammanfaller också med regioner med underliggande permafrost och uppvisar olika ackumulationsmönster av torv. Således, föThe majority of the northern peatlands developed during the Holocene as a result of a positive mass balance between net primary productivity (NPP) and heterotrophic decomposition rates. Over that time they have sequestered a huge amount of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. A significant proportion of these areas also coincides with areas underlain with permafrost and shows a diverse range of peat
I denna avhandling står släktinghemsföräldrar i fokus och stor vikt har lagts vidderas erfarenheter av att ta hand om ett släktingbarn, något som sällanuppmärksammas i forskning kring släktingplacering. Det övergripande syftet med studien har varit att utifrån ett livsloppsperspektiv och med familjeteoretiska begrepp analysera vad det kan innebära att ta hand om en familjemedlems barn genom ett foThis dissertation focuses on kinship foster parents and their experiences caring for their kinship children, something that is rarely touched on in kinship care research.

The witness is universally considered to be one the most instruments to ascertain the truth in criminal proceedings or as Bentham says “Witnesses are the eyes and the ears of justice.” Under the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s legal framework, witnesses who testify before the Court, persons at risk and their interaction with the Court because of testimony at the ICC are entitled to the protec
Tourism is an industry with considerable environmental and social impacts; in order to stimulate reduction of these impacts, voluntary recognition schemes i.e. ecolabels and certification programmes have been introduced to motivate tourism businesses to improve their environmental performance, encourage more sustainable practices and patterns in this branch of economy, provide information to touri
Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt fler ungdomar i vårt land, liksom i många andra länder, lever i vardagen med mer än en kultur. En femtedel av eleverna i den svenska skolan är antingen själva födda i ett annat land eller har minst en förälder med utländsk bakgrund. För många av dessa barn och ungdomar har därför inte samhällets dominerande kultur funnits med från början av deras liv. Bekantskapen

It has been part of a research project which is dealing with the development of a construction system. This construction system is a new concept for assembling the cabin of a Volvo truck. The focus of this master’s thesis is on the connection between th
Problem definition Sustainability in fashion is one of tomorrow’s most important focuses but is not yet fully established in the industry, neither from the side of the business nor the customer. Customers’ statements tend to show an interest of sustainable fashion, but it is not quite so visible in the sales shares related to sustainable fashion products, which in turn can make sustainable fashion
During the last 30 years the form for political participation in Sweden has changed from a corporatistic system to a pluralistic system of lobbying. This change has led to a number of democratic consequences, such as the unbalanced potential for using lobbyism between the labourmarket parties, the well-reasourced and less well-resourced as well as untransparent way of how lobbying is done. During
Migrant women facing domestic violence in the Council of Europe have been traditionally characterised, except in some national countries, as not having any legal possibility to leave the situation with proper resources, or being able to guarantee their stay in the country they are living. Since the approval of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and
In 1999 the sixteen national environmental quality objectives were adopted by the Swedish parliament and in effort to achieve them the local perspective is considered essential. The environmental quality objectives should, according to the Swedish government, be a part of the municipality's overall policy on sustainable development and it is important that environmental aspects are taken into
Popular Abstract in Swedish Föräldrars involvering i skolan har under de senaste decennierna betonats allt mer i skoldebatten. Länge betraktades skolutbildning som enbart ett samhälleligt ansvar, vilket ofta medförde ett markerat avståndstagande från familjen och föräldrarna. Likt andra samhälleliga servicefunktioner har emellertid också skolan i sitt förhållande till sina användare undergått en fOver the last two decades, educational reforms have stimulated an enormous growth in innovative school thinking, effecting both independent schools and mainstream education. Parents and interest groups, previously excluded from general pedagogic practice and planning, are now faced with new opportunities and responsibilities. Parents “invest” in these newly won options in very different ways. Fail
