The Senegalese decision to brake off negotiations over a renewed fisheries agreement with the European Union in 2006 represents a puzzle since substantial economical gains are associated with an accord and because such agreements have been renewed with a certain degree of continuity in the past. In this thesis, it is argued that the Senegalese withdrawal can be understood as a response to solid do

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a genetically heterogeneous group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases that result in dysfunction and/or death of rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina. So far, 18 genes have been identified for autosomal-dominant (ad) RP. Here, we describe an adRP locus (RP42) at chromosome 7p15 through linkage analysis in a six-generation Scandinavian family and ident

Att förstå hur vegetation reagerar på klimatförändringar är viktigt av flera skäl, inte minst eko-nomiska när det gäller träd som är betydelsefulla för skogsbruket såsom gran (Picea abies) och tall (Pinus Sylvest-ris). För att förstå detta behövs kunskap om de mekanismer som ligger bakom trädarternas respons på förändringar i deras levnadsmiljö, vilket man kan få från paleoekologisk forskning baseThe understanding of how vegetation reacts to climate changes can be considered important for many reasons, not least economical when it comes to trees that are important for forestry industry like spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus Sylvestris). To understand this we need knowledge about the mechanics that lie behind these tree species’ responses to changes in their environment, which can be der

With today's sustainability thinking and environmental awareness, it is more important than ever to customize even our railway, with its components, for tomorrow's needs. An investment in the replacement of light source is not only an environmental and economic benefit, but also a win for the maintenance.
