During the last decade the intersection between social welfare research and the ecological crisishas been gaining increasing interest through discussions about sustainable welfare and eco-social policies. Less attention has been paid, however, to eco-social risks and to how climatechange “will impact the nature and distribution of social risks across di!erent parts of thepopulation” (Hirvilammi et

Popular Abstract in English This thesis presents data from rainforests of southeastern Nigeria. Pairs of protected and hunted of study sites were established in three different but adjacent protected areas: 1. Mbe Mountain Community Forest (MMCF, total area 80 km2); 2. Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary (AMWS, total area 100 km2); and 3. Okwangwo division of the Cross River National Park (CRNP), totaThis thesis evaluates the effect of bushmeat hunting in southeastern Nigerian rainforests on: 1) adult tree, seedling, and animal community compositions 2) germination and survival among seedlings in association with competition 3) changes in community composition at multiple trophic levels 4) leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC), leaf mass per area (LMA) and stem specific density (SSD) 5) on human r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Störningar i händernas finmotorik, kraft och känsel är vanliga symtom efter långvarigt bruk av handhållna vibrerande verktyg. I gynnsamma och lindriga fall kan dessa besvär gå tillbaka efter upphörande av expositionen för vibrationer. I mer avancerade fall tilltar besvären och ett hand-arm vibration syndrom (HAVS) utvecklas. Detta tillstånd utgör ett av de allvarligare Exposure to vibration is known to cause vasospastic white fingers and/or sensorineural symtoms such as numbness and tingling in fingers and/or musculoskeletal disorders such as reduction in muscle force, fatigue and reduced endurance. Classifications for the vasospastic and sensorineural symptoms are established. The general purpose of this thesis was to test the hypothesis that vibration exposur
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling inom forskarutbildningsämnet arbetsmiljöteknik beskriver nyutvecklade provtagnings- och analysmetoder för att undersöka hur reaktionsbenägna luftföroreningar uppkommer och sprids i arbetsmiljön. Antalet människor som drabbas av allergier har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Många av de mekanismer som ger upphov till allergier och överkänslighetsreaktioner kMany sources of airborne contaminants have always been present in various work environments. With the development of thermosetting plastic systems, the use of reactive chemical compounds was greatly increased and thus also the risk of exposure to reactive and potentially hazardous compounds. Exposure can occur in many situations, not only at the workplace where the raw materials are handled. The f
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Det första elektrokardiogrammet (EKG) utfördes 1887 av Augustus Desiré Waller. Det innebar att spänningsskillnader mellan olika delar av hjärtat, under hjärtats arbete dvs. vid upprepade sammandragningar och avslappningar, kunde registreras med elektroder på kroppens yta. Metoden utvecklades vidare av Willem Einthoven, som fick nobelpriset för sitt arbete 1924Background and Methods: Signal-averaging ECG (SAECG), a bioelectrical processing method, is a further development of the conventional ECG. SAECG can detect voltage potentials in the microvolt range and provide a noise-reduced determination of QRS duration. Extended frequency spectra can be analysed. In adult patients after myocardial infarction it is used to predict the risk for arrhythmias and su
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling i socialantropologi ägnas åt analysen av sociala och kulturella processer i Visaginassamhället efter sovjettiden. Visaginas (tidigare Sniechkus) byggdes under sovjettiden, åren 1975-1989, som hemvist för personal vid Ignalinas kärnkraftverk och deras familjer. De flesta invånarna i staden är ryssar som kom till Litauen mellan 1975 och 1989 för att byggaThis thesis focused on an examination of human agency and strategies for responding to rapid social and economic change. Fieldwork was carried out in the community of Visaginas town that was built during the Soviet period in Lithuania. The town is situated next to the Ignalina nuclear power plant. The majority of the town's inhabitants are Russians who immigrated to Lithuania from other areas of t
How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person? It is obvious that this is a very complex question. Multiple factors play important roles: the offence itself, but also the juvenile’s background in terms of education, socialization, prior convictions, etc. Every case is unique, but the criminal legal system has to follow the principles of legal certainty and predictability.How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person?

Phosphor Thermometry is a term describing an optical measurement technique for remote temperature sensing. Its working principle is based on the temperature-sensitive emission characteristics of certain ceramic substances termed thermographic phosphors. These inorganic materials can either be coated on objects for surface thermometry or be seeded into the gas phase or into liquid flows as solid pa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett felaktigt protein som klumpar ihop sig i hjärnans blodkärl är orsaken till hjärnblödning och för tidig död hos unga islänningar. Sjukdomen är ärftlig och uppkommer på grund av en enda felaktig byggsten, orsakad av en mutation, i proteinet cystatin C. Det muterade proteinet bildar mikroskopiska proteinkedjor, fibriller, som klumpar ihop sig i bland annat hjärnans bloThe pathophysiological process in Alzheimer’s disease and other amyloid disorders usually involves the transformation of a soluble monomeric protein via potentially toxic oligomers into amyloid fibrils. The structure and properties of the intermediary oligomers have been difficult to study due to their instability and dynamic equilibrium with smaller and larger species. This has hampered the devel
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enligt Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) är en god hälsa ett "tillstånd av fullständigt fysiskt, socialt och mentalt välbefinnande, och inte enbart avsaknad av sjukdom eller funktionshinder". Vår hälsa påverkas under hela vår levnad av en mängd faktorer såsom exempelvis våra gener, biologiska faktorer, sociodemografiska faktorer, beteendefaktorer och livsstil samt miljöfaAbstract: The complexity of health relates to the interplay between numerous factors, e.g., biological and genetic factors, sociodemographic factors, life-style, environmental factors as well as health care services, all possibly acting throughout the life-course. While earlier health theories mainly have focused on adult life style as causes of adult ill-health, life-course research has in recent
Popular Abstract in Swedish Konflikter och sexuellt urval under pollenkonkurrens Naturens många fantastiska färger och former har till stor del skapats av det sexuella urvalet, det vill säga selektionstryck som skapas av konkurrens och val, som uppstår till följd av att djur och växter fortplantar sig. Det var Darwin som 1871 presenterade teorin om det sexuella urvalet i ett försök att förklara vThe incidence of sexual selection in plants is today acknowledged, however, just as in animals, evolution and maintenance of mate choice is gravely underexplored. Moreover, the potential for sexual conflicts to occur in plants has only been assessed empirically to a very limited degree. Using the hermaphroditic annual herb Collinsia heterophylla, I looked deeper into the role of pollen-pollen comp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cirkulationen i de minsta kärlen, de s.k. mikrovaskulära utbyteskärlen är viktig för vävnadens syre- och näringstillförsel. Mikrocirkulationen utgörs av de minsta artärerna, kapillärerna, och de minsta venerna. I kapillärerna och i de minsta venerna sker utbytet av näring, syre, samt koldi-oxid och andra metabola restprodukter.

PGI2 and NO are endogenous vasoactive substances produced by the endothelium. They are vasodilators with antiaggregatory/antiadhesive and permeability-redu
Prohibition of excessive pricing belongs to one of the oldest legal constructs in human history. The historical roots and the near-universal codification of the concept of excessive pricing has however not mitigated the contentious quarrel alongside seemingly unreconcilable legal-economic positions. Positions ranging from those denying the very existence of excessive pricing, let alone endorsing e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Till alla de som har undrat vad det är som jag har hållit på med under alla dessa år men inte vågat att fråga. Jag har arbetat med kloning av gener som kodar för olika enzymer. Enzymer finns i alla levande celler och fungerar som katalysatorer (hjälpare) i olika biokemiska reaktioner.
