Feedbacks from the climate to other components of the coupled human-Earth system are expected to strongly influence the co-evolution of human society and its environment. Representing these feedback loops between climate and society, via the Earth system's response to human activities and the subsequent effect back onto social systems, is essential in order to fully explore the dynamics of the cou
The Swedish public library was founded in the years when the society in Sweden went from being a society of agriculture to industrialism. Modernism was sweeping over the country, everything was possible, which influenced the new society that was built. Now Sweden was going to be a true democracy with responsible and empathic citizens. One of the main tools in this process was to educate people, to
Several articles within the area of green chemistry often promote new techniques or products as 'green' or 'more environmentally benign' than their conventional counterpart although these articles often do not quantitatively assess the environmental performance. In order to do this, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a valuable methodology. However, on the planning stage, a full-scale LCA is considere
MARS is the system established and maintained by the European Commission in order to collect information related to major industrial accidents in EU Member States in the context of the Seveso II Directive. One of the main purposes of the MARS database is to provide information for learning from the accidents to avoid similar events. Probably, the most important issue for the learning is the determ
Introduction: There is a common understanding that driving under the influence of alcohol is associated with higher risk of being involved in crashes with injuries and possible fatalities as the outcome. Various countermeasures have therefore from time to time been taken by the authorities to prevent drunk driving. One of them has been the alcohol interlock. Up to now, interlocks have mainly been
This book is a contribution to the discussion about religion in contemporary Western society, characterized by the privatization of religion. The concept religion is not easily operational and does not carry meaning or implications that remain valid or consistent over time. It must be re-substantiated in order to remain descriptive and operational. This book’s ambition is to explore a means of re-
Purpose - The article has two major purposes. The first purpose is to examine the roles and practices of communication professionals in relation to internal aspects of crisis communication. The second purpose is to suggest new roles and practices for communication professionals that will enable a strategic approach to internal crisis communication. This article is based on empirical material from
A review was performed of eight previously performed investigations of environmental impacts from end-consumer food waste prevention. The overall aim of the study was to investigate the state of the art in these assessments, identify key factors which could explain seen variations in GWP-emission savings, and suggest methodological improvements leading to increased potentials for cross-study compa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är ett akut neurologiskt tillstånd och den främsta anledningen till funktionsnedsättning hos vuxna. Det finns ingen behandling för effektiv återhämtning. Den vanligaste formen av stroke orsakas av att mellersta storhjärnsartären blockeras vilket gör att man förlorar hjärnceller, till exempel neuroner. Neurala stamceller (NSCs) skulle kunna användas för att återstStroke is an acute neurological condition and the leading cause of disability in adult humans. Treatments for efficient recovery are not available. The most common form of stroke results from the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, which causes loss of brain parenchyma and many types of neurons as well as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Neural stem cells (NSCs) could potentially be used to d
Acquired clonal chromosome aberrations, closely associated with leukemogenesis, are found in many hematologic malignancies. Although the balanced rearrangements, such as translocations and inversions, are the ones most commonly thought of in the context of leukemias, gains of chromosomes ? e.g.., trisomies ? are also frequent. Little is known about the biologic outcome, the pathogenetic significan
Quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the combination of FISH with microautoradiography (MAR) were used in order to study the long-term population dynamics (2.5 years) and the in situ physiology in two parallel activated sludge pilot systems with enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The two systems received the same influent wastewater, but were differently operated
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tunnelbygget genom Hallandsåsen har utvecklats på ett sådant sätt och fått sådana konsekvenser, att frågan hur projektet skall förstås och förklaras är viktig. Vill man studera vilka mekanismer i samhället som kan förhindra projektets förlopp eller dess konsekvenser, bör man först förstå projektet. Matthias Baiers bok handlar om hur man med normer kan förstå och beskrivIn 1992 Swedens biggest tunnelproject begun. Two 8.5 km tunnels should cross a big ridge in southern Sweden which was seen as an obstacle to a fast and efficient railway line connecting Oslo and Gothenburg with Malmö and Copenhagen. However, the project had to stop in 1997 due to environmental damages. With only a third of the tunnel accomplished, the project was also much delayed and had a heavy
During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. Also, interfering with cerebellar development durin
Optical region spectra for a number of upper main sequence chemically peculiar (CP) stars have been observed to study singly and doubly ionized praseodymium and neodymium lines. In order to improve existing atomic data of these elements, laboratory measurements have been carried out with the Lund VUV Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). From these measurements wavelengths and hyperfine structure
Popular Abstract in Swedish I de hänvisningar som används i ett stort antal sociala projekt för att målet skall uppnås hittas rättighet och rättvisa som centrala diskursiva enheter i en återkommande använd tankemodell. I flera av dessa projekt blir resultatet, gång efter annan, utebliven framgång. Men den samma rätta tankemodellen förblir en självklar utgångspunkt. De upprepade krigen mot fattigdoIn the references invoked by a large number of social projects to achieve their goals, one can find rights and justice as central discursive units in a frequently recurring thought model. In several of these projects the result, time after time, is lack of success. But the same right thought model continues to be taken for granted as a point of departure. The repeated wars on poverty in the USA ex
The mixed-valence triiron complexes [Fe3(CO)7-x (PPh3) x (μ-edt)2] (x = 0-2; edt = SCH2CH2S) and [Fe3(CO)5(κ(2)-diphosphine)(μ-edt)2] (diphosphine = dppv, dppe, dppb, dppn) have been prepared and structurally characterized. All adopt an anti arrangement of the dithiolate bridges, and PPh3 substitution occurs at the apical positions of the outer iron atoms, while the diphosphine complexes exist onl
Quick clay has a major impact on landslide risk and it is therefore of considerable interest to map its presence and extent. In Sweden, quick clay has been involved in most landslides in soft clay with serious consequences. The predominant method for detection of quick clay in Sweden has been to take undisturbed samples and to perform fall-cone tests on the clay in its undisturbed and remoulded st
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den sedimentära lagerföljd som bygger upp Gotland avlagrades för drygt 400 miljoner år sedan (under silurperioden) i ett varmt tropiskt innanhav strax söder om ekvatorn. Innanhavet sträckte sig som en vid bukt in över dagens södra Skandinavien, Baltikum och vidare mot sydost, till Ukraina. Avhandlingen behandlar primärt hur sedimentationsmönster utvecklades under cirka The Silurian foreland of Scandinavia included a vast epicontinental carbonate platform system of which the island of Gotland (Sweden) is an erosional remnant. This thesis treats the Late Wenlock succession (Cyrtograptus lundgreni, Pristiograptus dubius parvus, Gothograptus nassa, Colonograptus(?) praedeubeli, and the Co(?) deubeli zones), and emphasises the sedimentology and biostratigraphy of the
This thesis, consisting of six papers, concerns methods for probabilistic analysis of engineering structures. The work comprises evaluations of available methods, developments of new and improved methods, and applications of probabilistic analysis to engineering structures. Comparative calculations using methods representing different strategies for stochastic finite element analysis were carried
We analysed and compared the functioning of UV-B screening pigments in plants from marine, fresh water and terrestrial ecosystems, along the evolutionary line of cyanobacteria, unicellular algae, primitive multicellular algae, charophycean algae, lichens, mosses and higher plants, including amphibious macrophytes. Lichens were also included in the study. We were interested in the following key asp
