The dominating form of analysis in the transport sector is cost–benefit analysis (CBA). This study investigates the purpose and use of an alternative analysis intended to complement CBA in the Swedish high-speed rail project. According to CBA calculations, the project is heavily unprofitable. While some politicians called for project termination, the project leadership launched an alternative bene
Parasite-host interactions can involve strong reciprocal selection pressure, and may lead to locally adapted specializations. The highly threatened unionoid mussels are temporary parasites on fish, but local adaptation has not yet been investigated for many species. Patterns of local adaptation of one of Europe's most threatened unionoids, the thick-shelled river mussel (Unio crassus) were investi

Semiarid Tunisia is characterized by agricultural production that is delimited by water availability and degraded soil. This situation is exacerbated by human pressure and the negative effects of climate change. To improve the knowledge of long-term (1980 to 2020) drivers for Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes, we investigated the semiarid Rihana region in central Tunisia. A new approach invol
A study of the ambitions of the managers at AB Robertsfors Bruk and their impact on courses of action in the development of wage policy and social arrangements in the community of Robertsfors during the period 1925-35.This study deals with employer actions during a period of both internal and external change to the organization. The main focus is in the areas of wage policy and social arrangements

Disasters, especially the larger ones, stir increasing interest amongst researchers, who immediately converge to affected areas to conduct studies of various kinds, from characterisation of the hazards and infrastructure damage assessment to social surveys on the impact of the events and post-traumatic stress disorder. Such an influx of scholars into areas that otherwise often receive limited atte

Knowledge of how blood perfusion is affected during and after reconstructive surgery is of great importance to predict the survival of grafts and flaps. When commonly used reconstructive procedures were developed a century ago, they were based on empirical observations of clinical outcome. However, today modern, non-invasive techniques are available to monitor perfusion during and after surgery. A

Globally, climate change is exacerbating natural hazard frequencies and intensities. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 places a high priority on the strengthening of understanding of disaster risk, primarily through strengthening access to disaster risk information. This priority is further affirmed in the Nepali National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategic Plan of Action 20
More than 100 distinct mutations in the gene (SOD1) for human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Studies of these mutant proteins, which often have been performed under far from physiological conditions, have indicated effects on protein stabilities, catalytic activity, and metal binding affinities but with no common
BACKGROUND: This study was performed to investigate the incidence and etiology of ventriculostomy-related infections (VRIs) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and to assess adherence to local clinical guidelines regarding empirical antimicrobial therapy and diagnostic routines.METHODS: A total of 191 consecutive SAH patients treated in the neuro-intensive care unit of Uppsala Universit
In the light of reports of decreasing litteracy among Sweden’s youth, several public studies indicate the importance of promoting reading at an early age. In this context, library activities directed at preschools has been pointed out as especially important. Although there is presently no requirement for preschools to have access to a school library, which is the case for elementary schools, the
Local agricultural emissions contribute significantly to the atmospheric reactive nitrogen loads of Danish terrestrial ecosystems. In the vicinity of the sources this may be up to 6-8 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) depending on location and ecosystem type. This contribution arises from dry deposition of gas phase ammonia derived from local livestock production. Long-range transport, however, often constitutes
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Detta arbete har utförts tillsammans med FOA 3 i Linköping som en undersökning av molntextur och molnklotter i flygbilder som registrerar värmestrålning. I dessa sammanhang betyder klotter en slags spräcklighet i bilden, eller att det inte går att se några mönster och strukturer i den. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att Försvarsmakten ville ha en kamera som kunde uTexture based descriptions of images is of an increasing importance since the demands of a correct analysis, description and understanding of fine structures are growing. This work reviews some examples of different methods from the litterature of analysing cloud clutter in thermal infrared images registred with an IR-OTIS. It also examines a set of actual images registred over an area of southeas
This study aims at assess the importance of a conceptual representation of hydrological processes when modelling atmospheric circulation. It compares results from a regional atmospheric model that interprets land surface hydrological processes based on parameterizations with results from a two-way coupled atmosphere-hydrological model that has a process-based approach to the land surface hydrologi
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
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
