Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Våtmarkers utvecklingshistoria kan rekonstrueras genom att deras lagerföljd undersöks. Genom att studera de sediment, växtdelar och pollen som en våtmark är uppbyggd av kan man dra slutsatser om hur den bildats och hur dess utbredning varierat på grund av klimatförändringar och/eller mänsklig påverkan. Rekonstruktioner av förändringar i våtmarkers utbredning bidWetlands are of uttermost biological importance as they function as natural purifiers, absorb nitrogen, and contribute to the landscape biodiversity. In a long term, the history and change, in area- and volume extent, of wetlands reflect climate trends through time. This master’s thesis is an attempt to develop a methodology that in a simple and robust way reconstructs wetland changes using sedime

The palaeoproterozoic Northwestern region of the Ukrainian shield hosts two compositional types of mafic dykes and associated magmatism that intruded at c. 1800–1760 Ma: (1) high-Ni dolerite dykes and layered intrusions of tholeiitic affinity and (2) high-Ti dolerite dykes of jotunitic affinity associated with anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite (AMCG) suites. The jotunitic dykes represent i
Background and Objectives: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genetic regions involved in immune-regulatory mechanisms to be associated with celiac disease. Previous GWAS also revealed an over-representation of genes involved in type 2 diabetes and anorexia nervosa associated with celiac disease, suggesting involvement of common metabolic pathways for development of the
The application of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for characterization of mixed plutonium and uranium particles from nuclear weapons material is presented. The particles originated from the so-called Thule accident in Greenland in 1968. Morphological properties have been studied by SEM and two groups were identified: a “popcorn” structure and a spongy
