While organisms have evolved to cope with predictable changes in the environment, the rapid rate of current global change presents numerous novel and unpredictable stressors to which organisms have had less time to adapt. To persist in the urban environment, organisms must modify their physiology, morphology and behaviour accordingly. Metabolomics offers great potential for characterising organism
Popular Abstract in English There is a growing prevalence of disorders associated to the metabolic syndrome globally. To reverse this trend lifestyle changes are required. Among dietary factors, dietary fibre that is associated with several health benefits plays an interesting role. Barley is highly unutilized as human food, and it contains high amounts of dietary fibre. The composition of the barBarley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects. The proposed mechanisms behind the health effects are the formation
In this chapter, the modelling framework presented in Chap. 5 will be used to perform vulnerability analyses from three perspectives: global vulnerability, critical components, and geographical vulnerability. Two case studies of two real-world interdependent infrastructure systems are performed; one focusing on an electric distribution system coupled with a water distribution system, and one focus
Background: Health inequality and its social determinants are well-studied, but the determinants of inequality of alcohol consumption are less well-investigated. Methods: The total differential approach of decomposition of changes in the concentration index of the probability of participation in alcohol consumption was applied to 8-year longitudinal data for Swedish women aged 28-76 in 1988/89. Re
Society faces significant funding gaps as it attempts to address crucial social and environmental challenges. One of the key barriers inhibiting the allocation of private capital to alleviate these funding needs is a lack of established methods regarding how investment practitioners can integrate sustainability considerations into investment processes. This thesis analyses how sustainable investme
Food is one of the areas of consumption with highest environmental impacts. Additionally, the growing global population and changing diets in emerging countries will further exacerbate the impact of food production and consumption. The challenges of an increasingly resource constrained world pose a need to shift from a consumption-based society to a society where humans can manage with less. There
Enligt svensk rätt har den misstänkte inte någon möjlighet att bli betraktad som slutligt avförd eller friad från en brottsmisstanke innan åklagaren har väckt åtal. Till dess är brottmålsprocessen i princip helt inkvisitorisk, vilket ställer höga krav på rättssäkerheten. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att genom rättsdogmatisk metod granska de rättsliga medel som åklagaren har till sitt förfogande för aA suspect has no opportunity by Swedish law to be considered as finally crossed out or acquitted from a suspicion of crime before prosecution. Until prosecution the proceedings are in essence totally inquisitorial, which requires high legal security. This thesis aims to, by a legal dogmatic method, examine the prosecutor’s legal instruments of terminating an investigation. Furthermore, these legal
Popular science General introduction Two main activities take place into forests: photosynthesis, or GPP (the uptake of CO2 by plants, which leads to their growth) and respiration (the release of CO2 by those plants). The Net Ecosystem Exchange NEE is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration, and it depends on the nature of the forests and on climate particularities. With the ongoing This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w
Right now, the world is facing the largest wave of urban growth in history. The cities depend on nature’s ecosystem to function properly. The aim is to build dense, green and sustainable. In the future we must find new ways to integrate green structure into the cities more efficiently. Green to Grey is a series of paving stones that can host vegetation. The product and the vegetation can flexibly
Nowadays the technology is progressing continuously. The designers are developing products with new features and always giving to the user an innovative technological solution for the society problems. The standard methods to design new devices are becoming slower for the demand of the products. Due to this growing complexity, some possible substitutes of the traditional Register Transfer Level (R
