Geovisualization and Geographical Analysis for Fire Prevention

Swedish emergency services still have relatively limited resources and time for proactive fire prevention. Because of this, there is an extensive need for strategic working methods and knowledge to take advantage of spatial analyses. In addition, decision-making based on visualizations and analyses of their own collected data has the potential to increase the validity of strategic decisions. The o

Virtual energy storage gain resulting from the spatio-temporal coordination of hydropower over Europe

The viability of a renewable electricity system depends on a relatively small share of hydropower storage resources to regulate climate variations and the spatially uneven distribution of renewable energy. By spatio-temporal coordination of hydropower production over larger regions, the energy storage demand will be reduced and contribute to a “virtual” energy storage gain that in Europe was found

The Geography of the Knowledge Economy: Innovation, Interaction and Industrial Development.

Today, acquisition, creation and utilisation of knowledge are the key factors explaining economic development. Firms must constantly employ new knowledge and combine different types of knowledge in their activities to maintain competitiveness. This thesis examines the knowledge economy from two perspectives. The first focuses on the role of geographical proximity for interactive knowledge creation

Gamma-glutamyltransferase, arterial remodeling and prehypertension in a healthy population at low cardiometabolic risk

Plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) was suggested to reflect the level of systemic oxidative stress. Oxidative stress induces changes in arterial structure and function and contributes to the development of hypertension. Therefore, GGT may be associated with arterial remodeling and blood pressure (BP) increment, even in absence of disease. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated, in 825 healthy s

Periodontal conditions, retinopathy, and serum markers in individuals with type 1 diabetes

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes is high and increasing. Periodontitis has been identified as a risk factor in both type 1 and 2 diabetes. The study purpose was to assess periodontal conditions, retinopathy, and serum glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) titers in relation to retinopathy in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).METHODS: The study is a case series. Adult individuals w
