Memoirs of the KGB-chairman Vladimir Semichastny This book (published in Czech language in 1998) gives the reader a chance to follow the development of those times as seen by one of the most powerful men of his days - the highest predecessor of the Commitee for State Security at the Council of Ministers of the USSR (better known under the abbreviation KGB). Considering his
Längs stränderna i Italien, Spanien och vid Öresund har vi alla hittat plastföremål som flyter i havet och ligger på stränderna. I Europa hamnar upp till en halv miljon ton plastavfall i haven varje år. Det motsvarar 66 000 sopbilar som dumpar sitt avfall direkt i havet istället för återvinningscentralen. Efter att frågan vuxit under de senaste åren har EU-länderna nu tagit upp kampen mot detta pr
Den pågående klimatförändringen påverkar redan jordens arter och ekosystem på land, i sjöar, vid kusterna och i haven. Den påverkar enskilda arters utbredning och beteende, vilket i sin tur leder till förändringar i den biologiska mångfalden. Även om andra hot mot den biologiska mångfalden hittills dominerat, kommer effekterna på arter och ekosystem att öka med tilltagande klimatförändring med svå
Nettoprimärproduktionen (NPP), är källan till den mat vi äter, virket vi bygger hus av och veden vi eldar med. NPP spelar också en stor roll i den globala kolcykeln, genom fotosyntesen så binder växterna koldioxid från luften och producerar blad och stammar. Hur mycket växterna producerar styrs till stor utsträckning av klimatet samt hur mycket koldioxid som finns i atmosfären. Detta gör att de föNet primary production (NPP) serves as an indicator for plant-based resources such as food, timber and biofuel for human appropriation. It is defined by the annual production of plant matter and is mainly controlled by climate and human activities. Climate change in combination with human activities is altering NPP. As the controls of NPP are expected to further change in the future, it is vital t

This article reviews the interrelationships of tourism and climate change from a mitigation perspective. Tourism is an increasingly important part of the global economy that is dependent on the annual movement of billions of travelers, often over large distances. The current contribution of the tourism sector to global climate change is reliably established at approximately 5% of CO2 emissions, th
The purpose of this essay is to provide with a theoretical survey on the conceptions of "Nationalism" and "Internationalism", on a general level as well as applied to the scientific field. This pair of conceptions is useful to help us explain to understand the purpose of scientific cooperation and scientific-political motives behind the scientific society, in this case Europe during the period 187
Popular Abstract in Swedish Evangelium Cyrillicum Gothoburgense, ECG, ett tetraevangelium som förvaras i Göteborgs universitets-bibliotek, har studerats i flera avseenden. Den kodikologiska studien visar att handskriften har restaurerats tidigare och att några sidor fattas i början och i slutet. Vattenmärket är ett vildsvin, vilket daterar ECG till 1605-1625 med stöd av ett identiskt vattenmärke iEvangelium Cyrillicum Gothoburgense, ECG, a tetraevangel treasured in Göteborg University Library, has been studied from several aspects. A codicological study showed that the MS bears signs of earlier restoration and that some leaves are missing at the beginning and at the end. The watermark is a "boar", and the date of ECG is believed to be 1605-1625 on the basis of an identical watermark in ano
Intervention studies have shown that high-intensity training programs with duration of 1-3 years can influence bone mass in post-menopausal women. We wanted to investigate whether moderate physical activity could be associated with reduced post-menopausal bone loss also in the long-term perspective. We evaluated changes in bone mass and bone structure by repeated single-photon absorptiometry measu
This paper provides one of the first studies on the role of social media in articulating individuals’ experiences and memories and (re-)shaping collective memory in contemporary China. It investigates how social media enable and facilitate the participation of ordinary citizens in distributing and accumulating alternative narratives and memories of the past against the authoritarian version by tak
We evaluated the durability of autologous chondrocyte transplantation grafts in 61 patients treated for isolated cartilage defects on the femoral condyle or the patella and followed up for a mean of 7.4 years (range, 5 to 11). Durability was determined by comparing the clinical status at the long-term follow-up with that found 2 years after the transplantation. After 2 years, 50 of the 61 patients
Abstract in Undetermined Liquid food production often involves continuous processing. This leads to problems in traceability systems due to mixing zones and therefore indistinct batch identities causing difficulties with regard to withdrawals or recalls. This article outlines the possible use of the concept of dynamic simulation to improve the handling of batch identities in continuous production
P>Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is an important trait in the study of energy management of an individual, especially in small wintering passerines from the north which have one of the highest energy turnover rates in vertebrates. Laboratory studies have shown the trait to be repeatable and heritable, despite its plastic nature. However there is currently a lack of empirical data from wild passerine p
The Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami hit coastal cities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures of Tohoku Region devastating the energy supply system in the region. Electricity and fuel shortages caused severe problems in the city of Kamaishi varying from lack of mobility, communication, heating to reduced health conditions. This paper, aims to analyze the impacts of the earthquake and t
Background: Dementia and other psychogeriatric diseases in elderly patients bring an increased risk of death. Better knowledge of prognosis in elderly patients affected by dementia or mental illness should be of great importance in order to improve care plans and assist in medical decisions. Methods: We have investigated the survival time in 2,112 patients with dementia and other forms of psychoge
