Central limit theorems for linear statistics of lattice random fields (including spin models) are usually proven under suitable mixing conditions or quasi-associativity. Many interesting examples of spin models do not satisfy mixing conditions, and on the other hand, it does not seem easy to show central limit theorem for local statistics via quasi-associativity. In this work, we prove general cen
Organic farming not only increases plant diversity, but also simultaneously promotes biological weed control through provisioning of ample resources to seed predators. Harpalus affinis (Schrank, 1781) was collected from organically or conventionally managed winter-wheat fields with high or low surrounding shares of organic fields, aiming to test the impact of agricultural management on its activit

Vegetationsbrandrisker i området av Gammelgården & Bommars klimatanpassning och varsamma åtgärder Kulturmiljövården är i behov av metoder för klimatanpassning för att säkra kulturarvet inför dagens och framtidens klimatpåverkan. Ett förändrat klimat kommer innebära kraftigare och mer omfattande bränder som utsätter bebyggelse i allt större utsträckning. Studien analyserar två gårdar inom värlDecorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland is one of Sweden’s fifteen World Heritages. Climate change impacts affect the sites in different ways. Cycles of drought can result in increased risk of fire in areas surrounding settlement and the cultural heritage. During the fire in Västmanland in 2014 the World Heritage site of Engelsbergs Ironwork were in danger and became water bombed. The incident at Enge
The Normalized Vegetation Difference Index (NDVI) is frequently used as a surrogate for vegetation properties and is often correlated with climatic variables such as rainfall. However, studies have shown that conventional regression models used to study the spatial relationship between NDVI and rainfall are often plagued by non-stationarity and are scale dependent. This thesis employed a spatial d
Patterns of local adaptation are expected to emerge when selection is spatially heterogeneous and sufficiently strong relative to the action of other evolutionary forces. The observation of local adaptation thus provides important insight into evolutionary processes and the adaptive divergence between populations. The seaweed fly Coelopa frigida exhibits an inversion polymorphism in all population
Samtidigt som människor – såväl fysiskt som mentalt – kommer längre och längre ifrån naturen, står samhället inför stora utmaningar för att minska påverkan på just naturen. I ett samhälle där städer förtätas för att ha kapacitet att möta den ökade befolkningsmängden, behövs andra metoder för att tillgodose människor självupplevda och underliggande behov av vistelse i naturen. Ett naturligt sätt atPrevious studies have shown a correlation between nature connection and pro environmental behavior. Simultaneously, urbanisation amongst other causes has led to decreased human contact with nature. However, local outdoor recreation is considered an option for spending time in nature despite living in urban areas. Drawing from the above, there are reasons to study whether local outdoor recreation c
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka house of brands-strategin för varumärken inom hotellbranschen, samt att förstå de relationsbyggande strategierna bakom uppbyggnaden och kommunikationen av varumärkena. För att uppnå syftet med studien genomfördes en fallstudie med sju semistrukturerade intervjuer inom hotellgruppen ESS Group. Empirin analyserades sedan utifrån en tematisk analys med hermeneutThis study aims to examine the house of brands strategy within the hotel industry, as well as to understand the relationship building strategies for brands and the communication of them. To achieve the purpose of the study, a case study was conducted with seven semi-structured interviews within the hotel group ESS Group. The empirical material was analysed with a thematic analysis based on hermene
Purpose: Transportation systems play a key role in providing individuals with a diversity of means to access their desired destinations and have significant impacts on their quality of life. The social perspective of mobility is, however, marginalized in the current model of transportation planning and significant changes are called for. This study aims to identify the barriers and opportunities o
Current immune-based therapies signify a major advancement in cancer therapy; yet, they are not effective in the majority of patients. Physically based local destruction techniques have been shown to induce immunologic effects and are increasingly used in order to improve the outcome of immunotherapies. The various local destruction methods have different modes of action and there is considerable
We present here surface water vapor isotopic measurements conducted from June to August 2010 at the NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Drilling Project) camp, NW Greenland (77.45 degrees N, 51.05 degrees W, 2484 m a.s.l.). Measurements were conducted at 9 different heights from 0.1m to 13.5m above the snow surface using two different types of cavity-enhanced near-infrared absorption spectroscopy analyze
International guidelines recommend PET-CT should replace CT in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). The aims of this study were to i) compare PET-CT with CT for staging and ii) measure agreement between expert and local readers, using a five-point scale (Deauville criteria), to adapt treatment in a clinical trial 'Response Adapted Therapy in Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma' (RATHL) www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials, refe
The thesis describes and analyzes six companies’ origins and development over the period 1950-2002, a time when the Swedish industrial sector was dominated by companies that were formed in the early 1900s. The firms, situated in the same region, have after an eventful journey become world leaders in the segment of machines with capacity to lift more than five tonnes. Investigations in Swedish busi
Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to strengthen the validity of future findings in the Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Robot Open (LAPPRO) study by investigating the extent of interobserver variability between local pathologists and re-evaluating reference pathologists. Material and methods. LAPPRO is a Swedish prospective study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy to open re
BACKGROUND: Prognostic factors for metastasis in soft tissue sarcoma govern decisions regarding adjuvant treatment. However, the significance of initial tumor-related prognostic factors over time is largely unknown.METHODS: The current study included 338 patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the extremities or the trunk wall whose tumors were reviewed by the Scandinavian Sarcoma Pa
BACKGROUND. The aim was to study the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and outcome of liposarcoma in an unselected, population-based patient sample, and to establish whether treatment was according to the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) treatment guidelines. METHODS. The SSG Pathology Board reviewed 319 liposarcoma cases reported between 1986 and 1998. After the review, 237 patients
During 2020 and 2021, the world has been experiencing a pandemic. In correlation to social distancing, the digital divide is more visible than ever since such a great part of our lives have moved to platforms like “Zoom”. Peacebuilding organisations has adapted to the changing context, using information and communication technologies (ICTs) within their activities. This thesis investigates local p
On January 1, 2011, a new law came into place called “Det förstärkta folkinitiativet”. The law meant that Sweden lowered the barrier for citizens to demand local referendums. This study examines the effect of local referendums as a participatory democratic instrument from two perspectives, if it increases voter participation in subsequent local elections, and whether it can lead to power shifts in
Trots dess introduktion under början av 1950-talet används vaskulär impedans ännu inte i klinisk omfattning för att förutsäga tidiga stadier av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Definierad som förhållandet mellan blodtryck och blodflöde beskriver vaskulär impedans motståndet mot blodflödet i det vaskulära systemet. Under detta avhandlingsprojekt uppskattades den lokala pulsvåghastigheten (PWV) och vaskulära Despite its introduction in the early 1950´s, vascular impedance has yet to be applied in clinical use to predict early stages of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is defined as the ratio between blood pressure and flow and describes the opposition to blood flow within the cardiovascular system. During this thesis project, local pulse wave velocity (PWV) and vascular impedance was estimated from
