IPCC's Sixth Assessment is a landmark in recognizing social justice and local knowledge as imperative for successful climate adaptation; however, taking this new scientific consensus seriously has profound implications. While narratives of fossil fuel companies and closing climate windows often dominate climate politics, there is an urgent need for new thinking frames, especially given that everyd

This thesis investigates the influence of transnational municipal climate networks (TMCNs) on urban climate governance in Germany. The reality of climate change means that cities all over the world are faced with two challenges. First, they need to go through decarbonisation transitions to mitigate climate change. Second, they need to adapt to the conditions of a changing climate. The growth of ci

This study examines the determinants behind the restructuring of China's SOEs in the late 1990s. We have reached two major findings. First, we find that the degree of labor retrenchment is negatively related to enterprise performance, suggesting that poor performance is a major force driving labor restructuring. Second, we offer evidence that decisions on labor retrenchment in traditional SOEs are

Different approaches to the theoretical study of the local centres in solids are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the embedded-cluster models. There are given the mathematical formulation, the computational scheme and applications for some local centres on/in graphite monolayers of the moderately large embedded cluster and the large-unit-cell-embedded-cluster (LUC-EC) models. It is shown

We study the phase behavior of single homopolymers in a simple hydrophobic/hydrophilic off-lattice model with sequence independent local interactions. The specific heat is, not unexpectedly, found to exhibit a pronounced peak well below the collapse temperature, signalling a possible low-temperature phase transition. The system size dependence at this maximum is investigated both with and without

Long term multiple systemic antibiotics form the cornerstone in the treatment of bone and joint tuberculosis, often combined with local surgical eradication. Implanted carriers for local drug delivery have recently been introduced to overcome some of the limitations associated with conventional treatment strategies. In this study, we used a calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CSH)/nanohydroxyapatite (nH

Dynamical mean-field theory describes the impact of strong local correlation effects in many-electron systems. While the single-particle spectral function is directly obtained within the formalism, two-particle susceptibilities can also be obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The solution requires handling infinite matrices in Matsubara frequency space. This is commonly treated using a

Fuel cells, redox flow batteries and some water desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis and electrodialysis require efficient ion exchange membranes to perform in an optimum way. Thus, by enhancing the properties of these membranes there is a possibility to improve this type of applications and technologies. Depending on the specific application, anion or proton exchange membranes with g

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har utbredningen och förekomsten i av många arter av fåglar, växter och insekter knutna till jordbrukslandskap på olika håll i Europa minskat på grund av jordbrukets rationalisering och intensifiering. För att motverka dessa negativa trender måste man ha kännedom om den relativa betydelsen av lokala och regionala ekologiska processer för popDuring the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. I have studied the ef

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut bukspottkörtelinflammation (akut pankreatit - AP) är en tämligen frekvent förekommande åkomma med en årlig incidens på 300-350/100 000 invånare i Sverige. De underliggande mekanismerna för den lokalt initierande skadan i bukspottkörteln, spridning till ett systemiskt (i hela kroppen) inflammatoriskt svar och den eventuella utvecklingen av organdysfunktion (organsviAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The overall aim of the thesis was to study mechanisms of the inflammatory response in AP with special emphasis on local, systemic, and distant organ injury directed at differe

Rotor–stator mixers (RSMs) are widely used for emulsification and mixing. However, relatively little is known about the relationship between RSM design, hydrodynamics and performance. Previous studies have investigated shaft power draw as a function of design. However, power draw alone is not sufficient to predict efficiency. In order to understand the effect on performance it is important to inve

The Chinese Central Government has made the promotion of biomass energy an important aspect of China’s national development plans on renewable energy. Numerous biomass energy projects emerged in rural areas in recent years. Official pronouncements regard biomass energy as an effective solution to China’s energy need and environmental problems. However, there is a general lack of understanding on w
