The effect of nutrient availability on plant growth and the terrestrial carbon sink under climate change and elevated CO2 remains one of the main uncertainties of the terrestrial carbon cycle. This is partially due to the difficulty of assessing nutrient limitation at large scales over long periods of time. Consistent declines in leaf nitrogen (N) content and leaf δ15N have been used to suggest th

Brottsutvecklingen i Sverige har under de senaste åren föranlett utökade befogenheter i den brottsbekämpande verksamheten. Diskussionerna kring utökningar av tillämpningsområdet för preventiva tvångsmedel har varit synnerligen aktuella, och det har skett många lagändringar i vår närtid. En av de senaste lagändringarna är införandet av hemlig rumsavlyssning som ett preventivt tvångsmedel. Hemlig ru

Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. This dissertation aims to study potential opportunities and challenges of using recombinant food proteins expressed in Escherichia col

Stålindustrin står för uppskattningsvis 7–9 % av de globala växthusgasutsläppen. Därför måste stålindustrin bidra till minskningen av växthusgasutsläppen. Under lång tid har stålindustrin fokuserat på mindre och frekventa inkrementella minskningar av CO2 utsläpp genom energieffektiviseringsåtgärder. Dessa åtgärder kommer inte att räcka för att nå målen som är överenskomna i Parisavtalet eftersom uThe steel industry is accountable for approximately 7–9 % of global GHG emissions. Therefore, the steel industry must contribute to the reductiuon of emissions of GHG. For a long time, the industry has focused on minor and frequent incremental reductions of CO2 emissions by implementing energy efficiency measures. However, these types of measures will not be sufficient to reach the goals agreed up

The present thesis focuses on the numerical simulation of the flowfield in gas turbine burners. Due to the higher and higher requirements regarding pollutant emissions there is a need for new combustion technologies. In gas turbines one method to obtain low pollutant levels is the use of lean premixed or partially premixed combustion. However, in lean combustion problems regarding the flame stabi

Abstract: This paper provides one of the first studies on the role of social media in shaping collective memory in contemporary China. Social media enable the ordinary to participate in creating, interacting, and distributing alternative narratives of the past. Therefore, collective memory has being reconfigured under the influence of social media. Nevertheless, previous collective memory studies

The Swedish pulp and paper industry (PPI) accounts for almost 50 percent of industrial final energy use. It is an energy-intensive industry and process optimization is seen as prerequisite to compete on the global market. This alone should motivate company boards and on-site organisations to put energy management high on the agenda. Definitely, from time to time, energy issues (e.g. fuel shifts, s

Flexible manufacturing puts high demands on industrial automation in terms of affordable and competitive solutions and is of key importance for short-lot production typically found in small and medium sized enterprises, situations where today manual labour is extensively used despite environmental issues and harsh working conditions. Key factors in the successful introduction of new robot automati

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho

Högre utbildning (meaning Higher Education) is a Swedish peer-reviewed Open Access journal launched in 2010. The purpose for starting the journal was twofold: to support the development of knowledge about teaching and learning in a primarily Swedish and Nordic Higher education context, and to support the development of SoTL. In International journals perspectives from Britain, Australia and North

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den rykande startpistolen eller Konsten att ta tid på en flygande elektron Flygande elektroner kan berätta mycket om hur världen sitter ihop. Elektroner som lämnar ytan av något material avslöjar både vilka atomer som finns i materialet och hur de kemiska bindingarna ser ut. Allt detta är nödvändigt att förstå när man vill utveckla nya material – till exempel för kretTime-of-flight (TOF) techniques for energy analysis have been common in electron spectroscopy for many decades. TOF-based electron spectrometers benefit from higher transmission and information rate compared to their main competitor: the hemispherical analyser; the drawback being their lower energy resolution. However, the advent of angle-resolved TOF spectrometers for electron energy analysis cha

Popular Abstract in English This book investigates marketing work in professional service organizations from a rhetorical perspective. It comes to the conclusion that this work is accomplished by self-reflexive marketers who are reminiscent of the ancient sophists – a diverse group of itinerant advisors whom came to Athens around the fourth century BCE for business reasons. Marketers travel – as d

Osteoporosis is a severe condition in postmenopausal women and a common cause of fracture. Osteoporosis is a complex disease with a strong genetic impact, but susceptibility is determined by many genes with modest effects and environmental factors. Only a handful of genes consistently associated with osteoporosis have been identified so far. Inflammation affects bone metabolism by interfering with
