This thesis delves into the complex architecture of dynamic sensory information processing in the neocortex. Specifically, it asks how primary sensory cortical regions are influenced by local and widespread cortical state changes. Central to this question is the exploration of two historically opposing information processing frameworks emphasizing a local and global information processing principl

Two storms in Sweden 2005 and 2007 clarified both professional crisis managers and citizens' ability to respond to the consequences. These events created an awareness of the vulnerability of society, especially in rural areas. Emergent Citizen Groups (ECG) conducted initially a large part of crisis management, such as clearing roads, supporting exposed neighbors and repairing power lines in collab

This paper presents a snapshot of a neolithic maritime exchange network centred on the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) site of Tråsättra (circa 2630 to 2470 BCE), located northeast of modern-day Stockholm, Sweden. We used a combination of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MA/ES) and thin section analysis to study and source the clays used to produce 19 potsherds and 39 ce

As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo

This thesis tries to create a wider understanding for the complexity of friction in peacekeeping interventions. By connecting the concepts of friction and hybridity as well as the local and the international in a theoretical framework the thesis tries to concrete the complexity of peace processes. By applying the framework upon the UN peacekeeping mission MONUC in the Democratic Republic of the Co

Quantifying the ways in which local particle rearrangements contribute to macroscopic plasticity is one of the fundamental pursuits of granular mechanics and soft matter physics. Here we examine local rearrangements that occur naturally during the deformation of three samples of 3D granular materials subjected to distinct boundary conditions by employing in situ x-ray measurements of particle-reso

Agri-environment schemes (AES) have been suggested to counter negative effects of agricultural intensification and enhance farmland biodiversity, but evaluations have produced inconsistent results. We suggest that this is partly a consequence of scale-dependence, i.e. that the consequence of organic farming will differ depending on the scale of uptake in a particular landscape. To test our hypothe

This paper examines the problems of nature conservation in the Third World. A Pakistani community-based conservation project, the Palas Conservation and Development Project (PCDP), acts as a reference point. A field study was conducted to elicit the preferences of the benefactors and of the beneficiaries, i e the PCDP staff and the locals of the Palas Valley in which the project operates. Four pre

In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the a

Sweden is in a period of change in its establishment of a new welfare system. One of the main reasons is the political power shift from social democratic welfare regime to liberal welfare regime. This change involves, among others, a restructuring of the relationship regarding responsibility in the social welfare, between the public, private and non-government sectors. This is due to how different
