How can we create sustainable agriculture, capable of feeding the soon to be 10 billion people of the earth, and at the same time preserve the ecosystems of the species that coexist with us on this planet? A team from Lund University in Sweden attempts to answer this tricky question.

A research anthology from the project "Christian Identity - the First 100 Years" (funded by Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, 2003-06). Each project participant submitted one chapter summarizing his research on various aspects of the project theme.

The purpose of this paper is to present some reflections on the relationship between the production of contemporary art and the function of national identities in our Scandinavian and Baltic countries. The main assumption of the paper is a non-essentialist one: the author assumes that national identity, like art and the context(s) of the art-world(s), is something which is produced and socially co

Our purpose in this paper is to discuss Swedish nature in a specific context, namely that of ecotourism. The wider framework is the concept of cultural economy in relation to nature. Nature is culturally constructed – given meaning – by the actual doings of e.g. ecotourism operators, and this meaning is transformed into cash flows through tourist practices. It is this cultural construction of natu

High S/N echelle data of chi Lupi have been obtained at 36 different wavelength settings. The high resolution of the observations combined with the low rotational velocity of chi Lupi (v sin i approximate to 1 km s(-1)), allow the UV spectrum of this star to be seen with unprecedented detail, and provides a unique resource for the study of both atomic physics and stellar atmospheres.

Embryonic full-thickness rabbit neuroretinal sheets were transplanted to the subretinal space of adult hosts. This was accomplished by using a new transplantation technique involving vitrectomy and retinotomy. The grafts were followed from 10 to 306 days after surgery, and were then examined by different histological techniques. In the light microscope, the transplants were seen to develop the nor

In this case study we analyzed the traces of spontaneous reactions of Youtube users when confronted with the short clip ’You wouldn’t Steal a Car’, that was used by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to influence people not to download copyrighted material from the Internet. This film has become an important cultural icon, which to a certain degree has shaped a whole generation of fi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lera-vatten-systemet finns i stort sett överallt i vår omgivning. Syftet med denna avhandling är att identifiera och undersöka egenskaper hos leror som är av betydelse för deras inbördes växelverkan. Leror är sammansatta av två eller tre molekylära lager och får därför en relativt komplex fördelning av elektrostatiska laddningar. Denna fördelning förändras med olika betClays are the world’s most widely used natural material, however, little is known regarding the microstructure as well as the forces involved in clay-water interactions, and their influence on the swelling properties. The utilization of clay platelets is nowadays a key in a number of biological and industrial applications e.g. nuclear waste management. Bentonites from different natural sources an
