Through changes in climate and other environmental factors, alpine tundra ecosystems are subject to increased cover of erect shrubs, reduced predictability of rodent dynamics and changes in wild and domesticated herbivore densities. To predict the dynamics of these ecosystems, we need to understand how these simultaneous changes affect alpine vegetation. In the long term, vegetation dynamics may d

The fusion-evaporation reaction 28Si+40Ca at 122 MeV beam energy was used to populate excited states in the N=Z+1 nucleus 63Ga. With the combination of the Gammasphere spectrometer and the Microball CsI(Tl) charged-particle detector array, the level scheme of 63Ga was extended by more than a factor of two in terms of number of γ-ray transitions and excited states, excitation energy (Ex>30 MeV), an

A 27-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 1) was transported to the regional university hospital in gestational week (GW) 34 + 4 due to a three-day history of fever, abdominal pain and reduced foetal movements. She had developed a dry cough one day prior to the admission (Figure S1). The woman, was slightly overweight (BMI 27 kg/m2 ) but otherwise healthy. She had normal antenatal check-ups and an obst

This article is the outcome of two research trips to the Jain caves at Ellora, the purpose of which was to photograph the best preserved murals found there, works of art that were largely undocumented in any available literature. The article documents and portrays the best preserved paintings in detail found on the walls and ceiling of one of the smaller caves belonging to the largest Jain cave coThis article is the outcome of two research trips to the Jain caves at Ellora, the purpose of which was to photograph the best preserved murals found there, works of art that were largely undocumented in any available literature.

This article describes and discusses an ongoing change of case marking, NOM(inative) > OBL(ique), in certain predicates in Swedish (type “Then you can be I” > “Then you can be me”). This change has gone largely unnoticed hitherto. The discussion is based on a large-scale online survey, conducted in May 2016. It was tested whether the change relates to finiteness or to semantics. The results strong

This thesis presents the simulations of and experiments with the so-called CECOST burner. The CECOST burner is a gas turbine model combustor equipped with an axial swirler and placed in a laboratory for the lean premixed turbulent combustion of a range of fuels at atmospheric pressure. The operation with natural gas, methane, hydrogen-enriched methane and syngas from black-liquor gasification was

Background and aims: Histopathology is the gold standard for analysis of atherosclerotic plaques but has drawbacks due to the destructive nature of the method. Ex vivo MRI is a non-destructive method to image whole plaques. Our aim was to use quantitative high field ex vivo MRI to classify plaque components, with histology as gold standard.Methods: Surgically resected carotid plaques from 12 patie

Management of asymptomatic carotid disease continues to challenge medical practice and present evidence is often conflicting. Stroke is a significant burden in Public Health and 11% to 15% appear as first neurologic event associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Randomized trials provided support for Guidelines and Recommendations to intervene on asymptomatic stenosis, but at a known cost of

Den första av två artiklar rörande det fängelse, den s k proban, som Lunds universitet hade under den tid lärosätet ägde egen jurisdiktion över anställda och studenter. Denna första del behandlar fenomenet med skol- och universitetsfängelser generellt samt Lunds universitets specifika sådana under 1600- och 1700-talen.

Subarctic forest-tundra ecotones dominated by mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) are an important habitat for semi-domestic reindeer Rangifer tarandus. The seasonal timing of reindeer grazing may direct vegetation trajectories in these systems, because in the summer ranges, mountain birches are subjected to browsing, while in the winter ranges, reindeer feed on understorey vegetat

Med denna svenska översikt av våra egna och andra forskares observationer av mörka neuron vid mikrovågs exponering från mobiltelefoner, som lite senkommet tillägnas Arne Brun på hans 90 års-dag, vill vi att hans insatser blir uppmärksammade och inte faller i glömska.Kring 2000 millennium skiftet pågick ett intensivt arbete i Lund med att sammanfatta och bekräfta effekterna av exponering med GSM-90

This chapter draws on Lefebvre’s Rhythmanalysis and Production of Space as conceptual, political and metaphorical reservoirs to examine the way in which international protection provisions, as enshrined in international human rights law, are challenged and undermined by current EU migration policies of migration deterrence and containment. In the context of socio-spatial practice, Rhythmanalysis f

This thesis investigates ‘the doing’ of the Swedish social insurance program Activity Compensation (AC). AC is an example of disability policies in Western welfare states. These policies have two goals: to ensure financial security and to promote social participation. In 2003 AC replaced Early Retirement Pension for persons aged 19 to 29 years and who, for medical reasons, have reduced work capaci

Background: Around the globe the electricity sector is strikingly similar, as regardless of nation it is structured around centralized large-scale power production. However, these centralized systems are currently experiencing operational problems related to climate change, energy security and aging grid infrastructures. In Sweden, the lack of investment and maintenance of the grid have created bo

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide face the challenge of designing tailored measures of epidemic control to provide reliable health protection while allowing societal and economic activity. In this paper, we propose an extension of the epidemiological SEIR model to enable a detailed analysis of commonly discussed tailored measures of epidemic control—among them group-sp
