Denna rapport handlar om den regionala ekonomiska strukturomvandling som ägt rum i Västra Götaland och Skåne sedan 1990-talet, och om den fortsatta automatiseringens framtida regionala avtryck på svenska lokala arbetsmarknader. Rapporten beskriver och gör en sammanfattning av den debatt som på senare år varit intensiv om automatiseringens framtida effekter på arbetsmarknaden. Med utgångspunkt i de
De regionala klyftorna i Sverige har ökat sedan 1980-talet. Den här utvecklingen innebär politiska utmaningar. Stora regionala ojämlikheter hotar sammanhållningen i samhället och kan minska legitimiteten i det kommunala omfördelningssystemet. Skriften sätter in de senaste 30 årens ökande regionala skillnader i ett historiskt perspektiv. För detta ändamål presenteras nya dataserier på BNP per capit
How can we shape our urban development towards sustainable and prosperous futures? This course explores sustainable cities as engines for greening the economy in Europe and around the world. We place cities in the context of sustainable urban transformation and climate change. We connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonisation and sustainability. We examine how visions, experiments and inn
Studies have shown that all Swedish municipalities are involved in cooperation with other municipalities, and most frequent in soft forms like agreements. Often each municipality have full control of its activities and then join forces with others on the margin. However, in this chapter it is showed that this situation is undergoing a change. Municipalities facing new a new landscape are looking f
The substitution kinetics of Me2PhP in cis-Pt(SiMePh2)2(PMe2Ph)2 (1) by the chelating ligand bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane has been followed at 25.0 °C in dichloromethane by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Addition of the leaving ligand causes mass-law retardation compatible with a dissociative process via a three-coordinate transition state or intermediate. Exchange of Me2PhP in 1 has been studied
Markis Claes Lagergren är en av den nyare svenska katolska kyrkohistoriens kanske märkligaste konvertiter. Han har i memoarverket "Mitt livs minnen" från 1920-talet skildrat sin konversion och sitt liv fram till 35-årsåldern, alltså perioden 1853 till 1887. Memoarerna bygger på hans dagboksanteckningar, vilka för den följande perioden utgivits i urval och som i original finns i hans samling på Nor
Physical cognition involves a host of cognitive abilities that enable understanding and manipulation of the physical world. Corvids, the bird family that includes crows, ravens and jays, are renowned for their cognitive abilities, but still little is known about their folk physics. This thesis explores the origins of physical cognition in corvids by investigating its mechanisms, development,fitnes
Social learning is essential for human evolution. To achieve such learning, cultural processes which trigger the development of active teaching and intergenerational transmission and accumulation of knowledge are needed. The understanding of how such systems and processes were developed over a long time is essential for our understanding of human evolution. The identification of children’s learnin
This talk describes the work done in calculating leading logarithms in massive effective field theories. We discuss shortly leading logarithms in renormalizable theories and how they can be calculated using only one-loop calculations in effective field theories. The remainder of the talk discusses masses, decay constants, condensates and anomalous processes in mesonic effective field theories like
Our understanding of fundamental organismal biology has been disproportionately influenced by studies of a relatively small number of ‘model’ species extensively studied in captivity. Laboratory populations of model species are commonly subject to a number of forms of past and current selection that may affect experimental outcomes. Here, we examine these processes and their outcomes in one of the
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is an important intermediate in Krebs cycle which bridges the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. Its effects as a dietary supplement on cold tolerance were studied in Drosophila melanogaster Canton S. Two-day-old adult flies fed at larval and adult stages with AKG at moderate concentrations (5-10 mM) recovered faster from chill coma (0 °C for 15 min or 3 h) than
Among the other applications, vanadium oxide thin films are considered to be excellent candidates for gas sensing. To understand the origins of the sensing capability, we carried out X-ray photoelectron and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements to determinate the surface valence states of thin films with mixed V7O16 and V2O5 compounds. Thin films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition, an
