Improving our understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and the delivery of ecosystem services is crucial for the development of sustainable agriculture. We introduce a novel framework that is based on the identification of indicator species for single or multiple ecosystem services across taxonomic groups based on indicator species analyses. We utilize multi-species community data (
Engineers and scientist have a long tradition in trying to improve the thermophysical properties of convective heat carriers such as water and transformer oil. Technological developments of the last decades allow the dispersion of particle of sizes ranging between 10 and 100 nm in these liquids. In a large number of recent studies the resulting nanofluids have been reported to display anomalously
The principal aim of my PhD research is to think through practices involved in the making of In the Desert of Modernity. Colonial Planning and After (Berlin 2008, Casablanca 2009), that constituted as well as traversed the exhibitions and went beyond. The project developed through a transnational constellation of culture producers, scholars, and activists from Berlin, Zurich, Paris, Delft and Casa
The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Sweden is one of the highest in the world. However, the possibility of other types of diabetes must also be considered. In addition, individuals with T1D constitute a heterogeneous group. A precise classification of diabetes is a prerequisite for optimal outcome. For precise classification, knowledge on the distribution of genetic factors, biochemical mark
Objectives: Sala Silver Mine in central Sweden was an important manufacturer of silver from at least the 16th till the early 20th century, with production peaking in the 16th, mid 17th and 19th centuries. The job opportunities offered by the mine attracted people to the area resulting in the development of a small township with an associated cemetery in the vicinity of the mining center. People af
Introduction: An antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) delivery interval of 24 h to seven days is commonly referred to as optimal timing. We aimed to investigate whether the ACS delivery interval was associated with the obstetric indication for treatment and with neonatal complications. Material and methods: The study was a retrospective chart review of clinical data from preterm neonates delivered at th
Introduction: Patients suffering from von Willebrand disease (VWD) have a variety of bleeding symptoms and require both outpatient care for treatment and, in more severe cases, hospitalization. Aim: To investigate the impact of having VWD on frequency of hospitalization compared to a control group and to evaluate whether regular replacement therapy (prophylaxis) is associated with reduction in the
The focus in this article is on investigating the distribution of water resources in Botswana’s Kgatleng District and specifically to analyse the principles guiding existing African customary property rights institutions from an equity perspective. In Botswana accessing water resources and controlling the use of water sources is imperative for agricultural production. Development of water sources
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur moln påverkas av luftburna partiklar, så kallade aerosolpartiklar. Moln bildas i atmosfären när vatten övergår från gasfas till vätskefas, det vill säga när vattenånga kondenserar. För att molndroppar ska kunna bildas krävs dock aerosolpartiklar, som vattenångan kan kondensera på. Antalet partiklar i luften kan därigenom påverka hur mCloud droplets never form in the atmosphere without a seed in the form of an aerosol particle. Changes in number concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere can therefore affect the number of droplets in a cloud. Higher concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere lead to clouds with more droplets and if the amount of liquid water in the clouds stay the same, the droplets become
This article focuses on sustainability and environmental challenges in spa industry and describes motivations and possible barriers spas can face while addressing them. Environmental issues are gaining on importance for spa industry, as visiting spa becomes a popular leisure activity, leading to steady growth of the industry and increased public visibility. Spa companies are known to consume natur
Abstract in Danish I anledning af 100 året for Bohrs postulater udgives hermed en række artikler skrevet af personer der på en eller anden måde har haft berøring med Niels Bohr, Bohrs Institut eller Bohrs atommodel fra 1913.
Nu inför valet ser vi "Stoppa km-skatten" allt oftare på till exempel Facebook. Samtidigt hör vi många som lovordar en "slitageavgift" Skulle en eventuell vägavgift ha en dålig effekt på Svensk åkerinäring? Som tur är för oss, finns det ett århundrade av forskning och massor av exempel runt om i världen, som ger oss en bra bild av vad vi kan förvänta oss.
