In Sweden, the combination of the country’s natural ecological vulnerability to acidification and its geographical location has been domestic focal points for the treatment of the ‘acid rain’ issue. Political interest in the acidification issue in Sweden emerged in the late 1960s, when the problems of long-range transport of sulphuric compounds and their harmful environmental effects were first hi

An edition of the Latin text of a fifteenth-century Birgittine sermon on the Compassion of Mary.

Fjärilar kan hjälpa oss att upptäcka och förstå miljöförändringar. Med många avkommor, korta generationstider och klimatkänslighet svarar de snabbt på ändrade förhållanden. Flera arter har minskat på senare år medan andra har ökat. Genom att systematiskt följa antal och utbredning av dagfjärilar går det att lista ut inte bara vilka faktorer som hotar och gynnar just fjärilar, utan även vad som påv

The objective of this dissertation is to analyse and discuss the issue of self-organisation from a spatial point of view. The thesis takes its point of departure firstly from the assumption that self-organisation concerns a process through which subjects aspire to become involved in societal development and decision-making from below, and secondly that self-organisation always takes place in a soc

The global company operates from a number of locations worldwide, resulting in implications for the transport, handling and storage of product and parts transported within the company as well as between the company divisions and suppliers and/or consumers. In these companies, the package becomes a frequently used object to complement product features and achieve an effective and efficient means of

This essay aims to understand the time and space of the everyday in postindependence Dublin. Methodologically, the approach is hermeneutic. Theory and method can thus not be separated: it is at the same time a heuristic pursuit as an empirical investigation. The Magdalen Asylums, an urban network of coercive state-religious institutions for unmarried women, forms the empirical focal point for the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxthormon (GH) är ett hormon som produceras och insöndras stötvis från hypofysen. GH-insöndringen styrs av stimulerande och hämmande signaler från hypothalamus, men hämmas även av sin egen insöndring. GH produceras under hela livet men mängden insöndrat hormon sjunker med stigande ålder. Under barn- och ungdomsåren har GH en viktig funktion att stimulera längdtillvA risk for premature atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in adult patients suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and receiving conventional hormone substitution without growth hormone (GH) replacement. GHD patients are resistant to insulin, which is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Insulin resistance can develop from an unfavourabl

Design problems related to the next generation Internet core networks can be difficult to solve in an exact way. Hence, for large networks they may require approximate algorithms. The paper considers two optimization problems for off-line design of robust NGI core networks carrying elastic traffic with a two-layer IP/MPLS over WDM architecture. The problems are NP-hard and are formulated as mixed-
