The effects of protein kinase inhibitors on regeneration in vitro of adult frog sciatic sensory axons were tested. Regeneration of crush‐injured nerves for 8 days in serum‐free medium was inhibited by staurosporine (100 nM) and H‐7 (100 μM), which are both known to inhibit protein kinase C. With the use of a compartmented culture system it could be shown that H‐7 exerted both local (outgrowth regi
This thesis discusses some of the fundamental requirements needed to be fulfilled when constructing a low temperature scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). Three different designs, two non-vacuum and one ultra-high vacuum (UHV), based on either inertial-mass or novel stepper motor principles are presented. The selection rules that forms the basis for designs are discussed in terms of thermophysica
This essay investigates the impact of a bank’s local economic environment that on its overall bank risk. Balance sheet data of Germany’s regionally-active savings banks (Sparkassen) and credit cooperatives (Kreditgenossenschaften) is matched with data from regional statistics to construct a dataset spanning the time period from 2000 until 2013. Bank risk is measured by time-varying Z-scores, an in
While vital to Indonesia’s economic growth, the textile industry has exacerbated textile waste generation and environmental degradation, posing urgent sustainability challenges. Rising unemployment further compounds these issues, prompting policy responses such as the Bappenas’ Circular Economy Roadmap and National Action Plan 2025–2045, which aim to drive circularity and generate employment oppor
The aim of this study was to examine municipalities local norms of financial support regarding housing costs, and to analyse the municipalities from a new institutional perspective, more specifically adaptation to national guidelines and their isomorphism. The study did not aim to examine or analyse individual social workers’ methods and reflections, but to analyse the municipalities local guideli
During the last decades, a growing scientific focus has been aimed towards climate change and climate mitigation. As local communities often have more ambitious climate policies than their governments, the role of municipalities and local climate governance has received an increased scientific focus. An area where climate mitigation has been especially hard to achieve is the transport sector. One
Despite the fact that there are established networks that reach far beyond the ¨last mile¨, there are still difficulties encountered by the distribution networks of necessities in Uganda. The purpose of this thesis is to study how successful networks in Uganda operate, what characterizes them and under what possible conditions they could be used for distributing humanitarian supplies. The method f
The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan). The Prevention Plan introduces policies to enhance cooperation on a regional le
The aim of this essay is to explore the possibilities of achieving a stronger local democratic establishment. Research shows that the welfare gap between population groups and city districts are growing within societies. Citizens are also experiencing a decreasing trust in politicians and the participation in elections and party politics is decreasing. Therefore I find attempts to increase local d
The purpose with this research is to comprehend the function of a local Victim Support Service in comparison to other local organisations, and also to receive a deeper understanding of the function role of the crime victim in the supportive work, and with this information interpret and analyse the work with crime victim on a local level. The research is based on six qualitative interviews, previou
Since its establishment in 1969, external actors have been significantly involved in the implementation of nature conservation in Simien Mountains National Park (SMNP). As climate change becomes increasingly tangible, conservation activities are frequently being deployed to protect ecosystems across the globe. Albeit an emphasis on community-participation, the philosophy of exclusionary protection
Neighbourhood offices were established in the municipal of Lund by a decision in the municipal council 1999. During following years four offices opened in the surrounding villages; Veberöd, Genarp, Södra Sandby and Dalby. By using a goal oriented model and making interviews I study whether the offices reaches the goals of more effective service, developed IT-support, a stronger local democracy and
Alternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The compression ignition (CI) engine has a high overall efficiency which makes it a valuable option for the transport fleet, despite the well known NOx and soot pollutants it emits. These two pollutants are emitted due to a combination of high local cAlternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions.

this paper considers flow around arbitrarily shaped objects. The boundary conditions on the solidboundaries have been applied by replacing the boundary with a surface force distribution on the surface,such that the required boundary conditions are satisfied. The velocity on the boundary is determined byinterpolation or by local (Gaussian space) average. The source terms are determined
To improve resistance to upcoming vulnerabilities to climate change and cope with rising food demand smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa need to upgrade their local food systems. Upgrading strategies (UPS) within existing food value chains have the potential to secure food at the local to regional level. In this paper, we determined the roles of actors and their interlinkages and motivations in UPS
We report on local nowcasting (short-term forecasting) of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hospitalizations based on syndromic (symptom) data recorded in regular healthcare routines in Östergötland County (population ≈465,000), Sweden, early in the pandemic, when broad laboratory testing was unavailable. Daily nowcasts were supplied to the local healthcare management based on analyses of the time la
In recent years, there is a growing interest for new lead-free oxides with reversible antiferroelectric (AFE)-ferroelectric (FE) phase transition for high-power energy-storage applications. NaNbO3-based ceramics are particularly attractive due to their easy synthesis and cost-effectiveness. In order to stabilize reversible AFE-FE phase transition, NaNbO3 is doped with a combination of heterovalent
The spatial distribution of buildings is one of the key factors influencing the local environment within a city. The quantitative measurement of building distribution can provide critical information for exploring local climate patterns in urban areas. Previous studies mainly focused on the two-dimensional spatial distribution of buildings and ignored the differences in height. In this study, a th
