Many policy targets have been developed with the aim of reaching a more sustainable development; more specifically, thestudied policies target energy use and urban growth. For example, by 2050 the aim is that the European Union will havereduced its greenhouse emissions by 90%. Examples of policy targets regarding urban growth can be found in many ofthe larger cities, as they have developed plans f
Mitigating climate change will affect energy systems and have consequences that reach beyond environmental policies. The studies presented in this thesis analyse how reducing emissions of greenhouse gases affect (energy) security. The focus is on strategies which improve energy efficiency or increase the share of renewable energy.This thesis is based on five papers in which frameworks for conceptu
Skogsekosystemet är ett av de viktigaste ekosystemen på jorden. Skogen förser oss med mycket som vi har nytta av, vilket numera ofta kallas ekosystemtjänster. Skogen reglerar och förser oss med många viktiga ekosystemtjänster, till exempel biodiversitet, skydd av mark och vatten, tillförsel av fiber, bränsle och andra skogsprodukter, klimatreglering samt sociokulturella värden och tjänster. ArealeThe forest ecosystem provides and regulates many important ecosystem services, such as soil and water protection, timber production, and climate regulation. It has been influenced by changes induced by humans, for example, our increasing demand for timber and bioenergy, the increase in nitrogen (N) deposition and CO2 concentrations due to industrialization, and climate change which has caused an i
This thesis consists of five papers within the design and analysis of efficient algorithms.In the first paper, we consider the problem of computing all-pairs shortest paths in a directed graph with real weights assigned to vertices. We develop a combinatorial randomized algorithm that runs in subcubic time for a special class of graphs.In the second paper, we present a polynomial-time dynamic prog
The development of genetic counseling in Sweden in the field of medical genetics emerged in the 1950s, at the department of medical genetics at Uppsala University.

Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. This study reports the foraminiferal survival behavior, and geochemical tr
Limited-slip differentials (LSD) are normally placed in high-end and race cars to improve the handling, by reducing the differential speed and balancing the torque between the driving wheels. However, electrical-activated LSD struggles to continuously eliminate the differential speed over extended periods of time. To overcome this, BorgWarner proposed a dual-functional clutch pack, featuring two d
The textile industry’s linear business paradigm fuels excessive resource extraction and generate vast amounts of waste. Despite the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and growing industry awareness of these environmental concerns, many firms struggle to implement transformative Circular Business Models (CBMs) that provide a sustainable countermodel. Underlying socio-technical dynamics further amplify
Epidemiologists have for many decades reported on the patterns and distributions of diabetes within and between populations and have helped to elucidate the aetiology of the disease. This has helped raise awareness of the tremendous burden the disease places on individuals and societies; it has also identified key risk factors that have become the focus of diabetes prevention trials and helped sha
Skin fibroblasts were collected from a 44-year-old patient with sporadic case of Parkinson's disease (PD). The non-integrating Sendai virus vector encoding OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 was used to reprogram fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Generated iPSCs had normal karyotypes, expressed common stem cell markers, and were capable of differentiating into all three germ layer

This paper presents an investigation method for studying cascading effects in incidents, which is to some extent lacking in the scientific literature. Several incident investigation methods are reviewed and used to influence the presented method. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated in a case study for a recent event in Sweden, a severe flooding event in the city of Malmö in south of Swede
Many of society’s critical infrastructures, such as power supply, telecommunications, and transportation, have become increasingly interconnected. While this gives rise to increased efficiency, tighter connections also invites increased vulnerability and the risks of cascading failures. Moreover, at the same time as many of these vital systems have become increasingly dependent on one another, the
