We discuss general non-stationary spatio-temporal surfaces that involve dynamics governed by velocity fields. The approach formalizes and expands previously used models in analysis of satellite data of significant wave heights. We start with homogeneous spatial fields. By applying an extension of the standard moving average construction we obtain models which are stationary in time. The resulting
Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammation disease that characterized by activation of protease and the innate immune system, leading to infiltration of neutrophils and tissue damage in the pancreas. The aim of this thesis was to determine the role of isoprenylation (farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase) as well as NET formation in regulating recruitment of neutrophils and tissue dama
Popular Abstract in Swedish Energibalansen vid jordytan är av avgörande betydelse för Jordens alla ekosystem men när det gäller Arktiska och sub-Arktiska ekosystem är kunskapen bristfällig. I dynamiska system som klimatsystemet, påverkas utbytet av energi, vatten och växthusgaser av små förändringar i ekosystemen. Syftet med denna avhandling är därför att skapa ökad kunskap och en tydligare bild aThe surface energy balance determines the functioning of any ecosystem on the Earth but is still poorly understood in Arctic and subarctic biomes. In a dynamic system, such as the Earth’s climate, any change in its characteristics modifies the exchange of energy, water, and greenhouse gases between the surface and the atmosphere. Therefore, this thesis aims to draw a conclusive picture of the surf
We investigate how individual workers and local labour markets adjust over a long time period to a discrete and plausibly exogenous technological shock, namely the introduction of containerisation in the UK port industry. This technology, which was introduced rapidly between the mid-1960s and the late-1970s, had dramatic consequences for specific occupations within the port industry. Using longitu
We study the competition between interference due to multiple single-particle paths and Coulomb interaction in a simple model of an Anderson-type impurity with local-magnetic-field-induced level splitting coupled to ferromagnetic leads. The model along with its potential experimental relevance in the field of spintronics serves as a nontrivial benchmark system where various quantum-transport appro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en av människans vanligaste bakteriella infektioner och drabbar både kvinnor och män. Kvinnor drabbas av UVI under hela sitt vuxna liv, medan UVI incidensen hos män ökar efter 40 – 50 års ålder pga. ökande problematik i urinvägarna med prostataförstoring, m.m. UVI orsakas av ett flertal olika bakteriearter, men tarmbakterien Escherichia coliUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). P fimbriae are the virulence factor of E. coli most clearly associated to severe disease. P fimbriated E. coli predominated in bacteremic febrile UT
The overall aim of this work is to study and interpret how social relations were expressed, shaped, and changed in the Late Middle Neolithic. The empirical foundation is a study of settlement in the Malmö area, south-west Skåne, Sweden. Other parts of southernmost Sweden (and eastern Denmark) are also concerned. Sites are discussed and given an overall interpretation as regards chronological and c
Avian communities play a pivotal role in Arctic ecosystems and birds have become the key model taxa for climate change research. Due to funding priorities, Arctic passerines have been studied less intensively than waterfowl and shorebirds. In our study, we aim to partly fill this gap and look at the change in passerine community species composition in the Chaun River Delta in Northeast Siberia (68
Farmers as volunteers in research could potentially provide a rich resource for exploring sustainable agricultural research questions. To discern emerging patterns in citizen science-based studies on topics with relevance for sustainable agriculture, and reveal salient challenges and opportunities for conducting such studies, we conducted a systematic literature review of 27 peer-reviewed articles
Elastic turbulence has emerged as a promising method to enhance heat transfer performance at the microscale. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the overall convective heat transfer performance in curved channels, overlooking the fact that the chaotic flow intensity varies along the streamline, leading to diverse local heat transfer characteristics. In this study, we systematically in
Syftet med den här licentiatuppsatsen är att ur ett universell utformningsperspektiv undersöka vad som kännetecknar dagens återvinningsmiljöer i kommunala bostadsområden och vilka värden som finns kopplade till dessa. De två frågeställningarna är: Vilka normer är framträdande i urvalet återvinningsmiljöer och hur bidrar utformningen till upplevelsen av inkluderande återvinningsmiljöer? Den första The aim of this licentiate thesis is to examine from a universal design perspective whatcharacterizes today's recycling environments in residential areas and what values are linked to them.The first study was carried out at a local level in a recycling environment in a municipality in Norrland.The method used on site was go along-studies and this involved professionals from the municipalrecycling
BackgroundIn a previous phase II trial, intraperitoneal local anaesthetics shortened the time interval between surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, an endpoint associated with improved survival in advanced ovarian cancer. Our objective was to test this in a phase III trial.MethodsA double-blind, phase III parallel superiority trial was conducted at two university hospitals in Sweden, within a public
In analyses of affordances and opportunities in different neighbourhoods it is found that access to public buildings and a well-functioning public space are of outmost importance. This is found to be especially important in neighbourhoods having a population with fewer resources, areas often discussed in terms as ‘deprived’ or ‘excluded’, concepts that alludes to the phenomenon of segregation. Pre
Purpose: The purpose is to investigate how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed relocation behavior in an advanced economy. We compare manufacturing relocations before and during the pandemic to identify differences and similarities over time and between offshoring and backshoring. Design/methodology/approach: We use an exploratory longitudinal trend survey approach with data f
Ett nytänk behövs för våra cykelvägar! Våra växande städer är helt uppbyggda kring transporter med bil. För att kunna bromsa klimatförändringarna behöver vi tänka nytt. Färre bilar och fler cyklar är en av lösningarna som förts fram allt oftare på senare år. Köpenhamn och Amsterdam är de städer som nått längst i att få människor att cykla i stället för att ta bilen. Ju vanligare cyklar blir i trafIn several other European countries, the number of electric bikes (pedelecs) has increased significantly in recent years. A similar increase is also expected in Sweden. So far the knowledge of the attitudes of people using electric bikes in Sweden are limited. This study consists of interviews with 39 persons from all around Sweden to get a better understanding of why they have chosen to ride an e
Verktyg för att jobba enhetligt med offentlig kontroll av livsmedel Enligt EU-lagstiftning ska all offentlig livsmedelskontroll bedrivas enhetligt. I Sverige bedrivs delar av den offentliga livsmedelskontrollen av Sveriges 290 kommuner vilket ställer krav på att man jobbar enhetligt både inom och mellan kommuner. Genom att ha studerat hur Helsingborgs stads miljöförvaltning jobbar med enhetlighetFood safety is a key component in securing people's health and environment in today's society. Within the European Union there are mutual laws regulating the food safety which are to be implemented uniformly in all member states. This study investigates a municipality's work in implementing a uniform handling of public supervision of food safety in Sweden. The examined municipality is
Prisutvecklingen på den svenska bostadsmarknaden har under de senaste åren varit positiv. Lågt bostadsbyggandet i förhållande till befolkningsökningen anses vara en bidragande orsak till den positiva prisutvecklingen. Ett sätt att mäta attraktiviteten på den lokala bostadsmarknaden är Tobins Q. På småhusmarknaden definieras Tobins Q vanligtvis som kvoten mellan ett småhus marknadsvärde och dess iOne way to measure the attractiveness of a local housing market is Tobin’s Q. On the market for single-family housing property, Tobin’s Q is usually defined as the ratio between the market value of the property and its investment cost. This means that the quota can serve as an indicator on whether it is profitable to build a new house or not. The theory states that Tobin’s Q above 1,0 indicates th
The thesis builds upon a critical discourse analysis and ethnographic methods such as interviews and participatory observation, in an effort to contribute with original research about how the Swedish counter radicalization project discursively constructs political engagement as “pro-violent” and “anti-democratic”, and how these constructions impacts local political practices. The analysis reveals
Idrottsrörelsen med fotboll i fokus har kommit att förändra sin struktur avsevärt under 1900-talet. Fotbollen har gått från att vara en ideell verksamhet med syfte att samla de lokala invånarna för att utöva sporten till en miljardindustri inom Europa. EU:s konkurrensregler har kommit att spela en viktig roll för att främja idrottens utveckling samt förhindra att marknaden snedvrids genom ekonomisSport movement especially football has change its structure of the sport drastically during the 20th century. Football has transformed from being a non-profit activity with one of its purpose to gather the locals for a friendly game to a multibillion industry within Europe. EU: s competition law has played a crucial part to maintain the development for sport and to prevent distortion of competitio
