The transition to a low-carbon society requires a deep transformation, enabled by rapid adoption of new energy technologies. A main driver for this will be technology learning, providing cost reductions in low-carbon technologies. Over the past two decades, learning has provided substantial cost reductions for a number of hardware technologies, such as PV modules, wind turbines, and battery packs,
Background. Currently there is no consensus on the use of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). We have analysed clinical outcomes in patients with localised RPS treated at two Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) centres: Haukeland University Hospital (HUH), Bergen, Norway and Skane University Hospital (SUH), Lund, Sweden to clarify the effects of adjuvant RT on local control a
In this paper we analyse the interplay between services and manufacturing. This is done through identifying and quantifying a direct link between manufacturing exports and the sales by service providers. For identification of this transmittance mechanism, with the help of highly detailed geographic data, we create a Localised Export Exposure (LEE) variable that captures the variation in demand for
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current spatial, environmental and financial resilience of Rågsved Centre in Stockholm. Furthermore, local future risks on resilience are also discussed and the total analysis is synthesised in a new resilient spatial interpretation of the centre. Methods of analysis include a narrative format that comprise of twelve semi-structured interviews
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition

In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating. There is scope for furt
Background: Melanomas that arise on mucosal surfaces and the glans penis are rare. Methods: A retrospective study of the Sydney Melanoma Unit experience with 69 patients treated since 1956 for these types of melanomas was undertaken to determine primary lesion site, sex, age at diagnosis, symptoms, clinical stage at first presentation, histopathology, treatment and outcome. Results: Primary lesion
Pigmentation in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus (Crustacea) differed between habitats in two Swedish lakes. In both lakes, isopods had lighter pigmentation in stands of submerged vegetation, consisting of stoneworts (Chara spp.), than in nearby stands of reed (Phragmites australis). Experimental crossings of light and dark isopods in a common environment showed that pigmentation had a gene
Popular Abstract in English Globalization and new technologies in transportation and communication have opened the doors for partnerships beyond the national and regional borders, making business survival more complex than ever before. We can see more companies outsourcing different aspects of their business in order to focus on one or a few core competencies, which would potentially gain them morIn this dissertation, we discuss how buyers practice purchasing strategies in an asymmetric power situation favoring suppliers, and how their purchasing strategies practiced impact their purchasing power and buyer-supplier relationships. Organizations enter exchange relationships to access required resources not produced internally, and are exposed to uncertainty from not being able to fully contr
This thesis contains six papers dealing with different aspects of damage and fracture in paper. The work addresses the problem of material length scales in the context of deformation and fracture of paper materials. In Paper 1, localised failure in low-basis weight paper is studied and a fracture model based on continuum damage mechanics is presented. A gradient enhanced theory is used that incorp
The modeling of fuel cells requires the coupling of fluid transport with electro-chemical reactions. There are two approaches commonly used. Firstly, the electrodes can be treated as two planes, where the potential gradient can be considered as being locally one-dimensional. In this case a two dimensional current density distribution is obtained. Secondly, the two electrode layers can be spatially
The greatest loss of biodiversity in the EU has occurred on agricultural land. The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is one of the many numerous and widespread European farmland breeding bird species showing major population declines linked to European agricultural intensification. Here we present results based on monitoring data collected since 1975 in 24 countries to examine the influence of ch
We investigate whether pure entangled states can be associated to a measurement basis in which all vectors are local unitary transformations of the original state. We prove that for bipartite states with a local dimension that is either 2, 4, or 8, every state corresponds to a basis. Via numerics, we strongly evidence the same conclusion for two qutrits and three qubits also. However, for some sta
We consider adaptive time discretization methods for ordinary differential equations where one aims to control the error in a quantity of interest of the form J(u) = ∫ j(u(t))dt with j : Rd -> R. In this setting we propose a new timestep controller based on local error estimates of the quantity of interest. The new method converges when the tolerance goes to zero.We experimentally compare the new
Conservation organizations are increasingly applying adaptive capacity assessments in response to escalating climate change impacts. These assessments are essential to identify climate risks to ecosystems, prioritize management interventions, maximize the effectiveness of conservation actions, and ensure conservation resources are allocated appropriately. Despite an extensive literature on the top
Background and Objectives: Treatment of high-grade osteosarcoma (OS) relies on a combination of systemic chemotherapy and radical surgical excision of the tumor. Little is known on what happens in case of an irrefutably inadequate (intralesional) margin. We aimed to describe the outcome of patients with high-grade OSs of the trunk and the extremities where planned wide resection resulted in an int
