Denna avhandling undersöker vetenskapens roll i den politiska processens tidiga stadier. Detta görs genom att studera hur "geoengineering" kommer upp på den politiska agendan. Begreppet ”geoengineering” används även på svenska och beskriver en uppsättning idéer om hur man stabiliserar den globala temperaturen genom att ingripa i jordens miljösystem. Begreppet mötte stark skepsis i det vetenskapligThis thesis examines the role of science in the earliest stages of the political process. It does this by studying the emergence of ‘geoengineering’ on the political agenda. The term describes a set of ideas on how to stabilize global temperature by intervening into the Earth’s natural systems, and was subject to a strong taboo in the scientific community until the mid-2000s. Yet within a decade,

As a way to understand vegetation changes, trend analysis on NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) time series data have been widely performed at regional to global scales. However, most long-term NDVI datasets are based upon multiple sensor systems and unsuccessful corrections related to sensor shifts potentially introduce substantial uncertainties and artifacts in the analysis of trends.

Background: Widespread implementation of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in routine clinical practice requires the establishment of standard operating procedures for pre-analytical handling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Here, CSF collection and storage protocols were optimized for measurements of β-amyloid (Aβ). We investigated the effects of (1) storage temperature, (2) storage time, (3)

Many exemplary projects have demonstrated that Nature-based Solutions (NBS) can contribute to climate change adaptation, but now the challenge is to scale up their use. Setting realistic policy goals requires knowing the amount of different NBS types that can fit in the urban space and the benefits that can be expected. This research aims to assess the potential for a full-scale implementation of

BACKGROUND: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is caused by the abnormal function of ion channels, which may also affect atrial electrophysiology and be associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, large-scale studies of AF risk among patients with LQTS and its relation to LQTS manifestations are lacking. We aimed to assess the risk of AF and its relationship to the LQTS genotype and the lo

Syftet med denna sammanläggningsavhandling är att belysa de etiska, juridiska och politiska konsekvenserna av olika försök att hantera lidande hos djur orsakat av industriell djurproduktion. På basis av kvalitativa studier utförda i Danmark undersöker avhandlingen hur skötseln av lantbruksdjur förhandlas inom olika sociala domäner. För detta ändamål använder avhandlingen rättssociologiska och tvärThis compilation thesis aims to develop an understanding of the ethical, legal and political implications associated with different strategies to address the suffering of animals caused by industrialised agriculture. Based on qualitative analysis conducted in Denmark, the research explores how ethical commitment to the situation of farmed animals is negotiated across different domains. The thesis

Mutation-bearing peptide ligands from mutated nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) protein have been empirically found to be presented by HLA class I in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We hypothesized that HLA genotype may impact allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) outcomes in NPM1-mutated AML owing to differences in antigen presentation. We evaluated the effect of the variable of predic

Offentlig upphandling handlar om hur den offentliga sektorn ska agera vid inköp och har därmed en betydande påverkan på samhällsekonomin. Essentiella samhällsfunktioner som exempelvis sjukvård och skolor tillgodoses genom offentlig upphandling. Eftersom inköpen görs via skattemedel har samhällsmedborgare ett intresse av att förfarandet går rätt till. Vidare har leverantörer ett intresse av att förPublic procurement concerns how the public sector should act when making purchases and therefore has a great impact on the national economy. Fundamental societal functions such as healthcare and education are supported through public procurement. Because these purchases are made using tax revenue, citizens have an interest in ensuring that the procedure is conducted properly. Moreover, suppliers h

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för 21% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser (Boverket, 2023a). För att synliggöra och därigenom minska klimatpåverkan vid uppförandet av nya byggnader blev det den 1 januari 2022 obligatoriskt att genomföra klimatdeklaration av nya byggnader som kräver bygglov, med vissa undantag (Boverket, 2021a). Klimatdeklarationen ska redovisa klimatpåverkan från

The market for Wi-Fi receiver designs for latest Wi-Fi standards, that cover RF bands in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum, require increasingly stringent power consumption limitations as more of the market is driven towards battery-powered devices. In order to meet those needs, it is crucial to explore different ways of reducing power consumption in various receiver blocks. One such power con

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda rättsläget i frågan om en allmän reklamationsplikt vid avtalsbrott i situationer som inte omfattas av någon lagreglering. Ett särskilt syfte är att klargöra reklamationsplikten närmare beskaffenhet när det handlar om avtal om komplexa immateriella tjänster, såsom rådgivnings- och undersökningstjänster. En rättsdogmatisk metod tillämpas. Utredningen kommer fram tillThe thesis seeks to investigate whether there is a general duty to give notice in the event of a breach of contract in situations not covered by a statutory regulation. A particular purpose is to clarify the inner nature of the legal institute of notification when it comes to contracts on complex intangible services, such as legal advice and investigation services. A legal dogmatic method is appli

Introduction: PARP14 is overexpressed and plays an essential role in the survival of many kinds of cancer cells and in inflammatory diseases, and its inhibition could prove to be a future medical treatment. Background: It is still unknown which structures contribute more to PARP14 binding, and because of how conserved the catalytic domain is in the PARP family, the inhibitors need to be selective

This master’s thesis examines 21 master’s theses written in Library and Information Science in Sweden between the years 2010 and 2013. The master’s theses are written in Lund, Borås and Uppsala and all of them have literature and/or reading as subject matters. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how master’s theses in our time handle the question of reading and literature as a subject matter i

Detta arbete behandlar frågan om vad det inom migrationsrätten gällande beviskravet sannolikt innebär ur ett sannolikhetsteoretiskt perspektiv vid tillämpning framför allt av utlänningslagen (2005:716) 4 kap. 1 §. Utvald del av denna paragraf tolkas och delas upp i delteman. Utifrån dessa delteman undersöks vad som måste uppnå vilken sannolikhet och hur sannolikheten för olika delteman påverkar saThis is a thesis on the issue of what the evidentiary requirement within the field of migration law, probable, implies, from a probabilistic point of view, especially when applying the 1st article of the 4th chapter in the Swedish Aliens Act (2005:716), about refugee status. A selected part of this article is interpreted and divided into sub-themes of proof (these could also be referred to as prop

This thesis set the goal to contribute to the fields of diaspora studies and cultural studies from a media and communication studies angle by addressing the blank spots ‘white minorities’ and book use. White diasporas are nearly invisible within academia and very often ‘under the radar’ in society as well. Books are underresearched within media studies in favour of other media. On the other hand,

Economic inequality is growing rapidly worldwide. Despite research showing that higher inequality within a society corresponds with a higher rate of public health and social problems, there exist little organized resistance against the neo-liberal economic policies that allow the super-rich to pull away from the rest of the population. Even though the causes of poverty cannot be separated from the
