Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utarbeta ett konkret förslag för logistisk implementering av industriella biometananläggningar i sydvästra Sverige. Genom att utnyttja restflöden från jord- och skogsbruk – såsom halm, GROT (grenar och toppar) samt såg- och kutterspån – undersöks möjligheten att ersätta fossil naturgas i det sydvästsvenska gasnätet med 100% förnybar biometan (uppgraderaThis thesis aims to develop a concrete proposal for the logistical implementation of industrial biomethane plants in southwestern Sweden. By utilizing residual biomass from agriculture and forestry, such as straw, forest residues (GROT), and sawdust, the study explores the feasibility of replacing fossil natural gas in the regional gas grid with 100% renewable biomethane (upgraded biogas). A comp
This thesis examines the temporary use and development of Botulfsplatsen, a future central public square in Lund, Sweden. Previously a node for city buses, the municipality decided to repurpose the site for interim use as a way to test and activate the square prior to its permanent reconstruction. Drawing on theories of placemaking, temporary use, and relational geography, the study addresses two
OBJECTIVES: To study the effects on the number of laboratory tests ordered after introduction of cost display (showing the cost in the computerized test ordering system at test ordering and test result delivery) and cost charge (requiring all primary healthcare centers to pay full laboratory costs of the ordered tests). STUDY DESIGN: The study included cost display for secondary healthcare centers
Conventional MSWM in the Southern urban cities is gradually moving upward the hierarchy of solid waste management as their disposal capacity diminishes and it becomes dauntingly difficult to locate new disposal site. In Thailand, many municipalities have initiated a source separation scheme as part of their waste management strategy to promote waste reduction. However, the success of the intervent
The amount of large and old trees has decreased in the boreal forests during the last centuries of forestry. Such trees are important habitats for epiphytic lichens and there is a growing concern for lichen species that are associated with large and old trees. However, only little is known about the relative importance of tree size versus age as determinants of lichen diversity. Here we have deter
Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common reason for outpatient antimicrobial therapy. Mixed infections pose a potential problem, since the first-line drug used for the treatment of AOM, amoxicillin, can be neutralized by ß-lactamase-producing pathogens of the upper respiratory tract. To study the effects of a 5-day course of amoxicillin on a mixed middle ear infection, rats were challenged with
OBJECTIVE: Systemic administration of immunotherapeutics often gives rise to severe side effects. A local deposition, using secretory lysosomes of hematopoietic cells as vehicles for delivery, can overcome this problem. In the present study, the validity of this concept was investigated using retroviral transduction of the human soluble tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor 1 (hsTNFR1) into murine
Popular Abstract in SwedishMed utgångspunkt i två forskningsfält – strategisk kommunikation och urbanforskning – analyseras och problematiseras Malmös omvandling från arbetarstad till kunskapsstad. Hur har Malmös förändring genomdrivits? Vilka resonemang och föreställningsramar har styrt omvandlingen? Vilka kommunikativa strategier har använts för att projicera den önskvärda (själv)bilden av en kuIncreasingly cities compete for tourist dollars, shoppers, financial investments, know-how and tax-payers by bolstering the cities images as centers of creativity, innovation, knowledge, art, design and so forth. Accelerated and intensified globalization, technological advances, market deregulations,de-industrializations and socio-economic change have urged cities, especially former industrial cit
Harvey's capital switching thesis is one of the most influential contributions of Marxist geographers, providing a framework for understanding structural determinants of capital flows into urban land and built environments. Harvey's thesis has drawn criticism in subsequent debates for its lack of direct empirical support. Even decades later, several gaps remain. The most comprehensive intervention
Bacterial arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) and evolved variants have become a valuable tool with which to access both enantiomers of a broad range of chiral arylaliphatic acids with high optical purity. Yet, the molecular principles responsible for the substrate scope, activity, and selectivity of this enzyme are only poorly understood to date, greatly hampering the predictability and design of
Infectious and parasitic agents (IPAs) and their associated diseases are major environmental stressors that jeopardize bee health, both alone and in interaction with other stressors. Their impact on pollinator communities can be assessed by studying multiple sentinel bee species. Here, we analysed the field exposure of three sentinel managed bee species (Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris and Osmia
Cerebellar dysfunction is commonly observed following traumatic brain injury (TBI). While direct impact to the cerebellum by TBI is rare, cerebellar pathology may be caused by indirect injury via cortico-cerebellar pathways. To address the hypothesis that degeneration of Purkinje cells (PCs), which constitute the sole output from the cerebellum, is linked to long-range axonal injury and demyelinat
The amygdala was highlighted as an early site for neurofibrillary tau tangle pathology in Alzheimer's disease in the seminal Braak & Braak article (1991). This knowledge has, however, only received traction recently with advances in imaging and image analysis techniques. Here, we provide a cross-disciplinary overview of pathology and neuroimaging studies on the amygdala. These studies provide

Genom att studera nätverksbaserademotståndspraktiker som sträcker sig över tid och som finns både online ochoffline, syftar avhandlingen till att utforska hur digital teknologi har präglatqueera motståndskulturer. Målsättningen är att bidra till akademiska debatterom ontologiska och episFrom a multi-sited ethnographic perspective, I analyse the impacts of digital technologies on queer activism in contemporary Turkey with a focus on networked resistance practices such as Pride activism and queer knowledge production at the digital level. By so doing, I aim to explore how queer spaces of resistance and practices of sexual citizenship are (re)articulated within a context of heteropa
Insects contribute considerably to global crop pollination, with pollination deficits being documented for multiple entomophilous or pollinator-dependent crops. Different cultivars of crops are being cultivated within and across production regions, so it is essential to understand the cultivar variability of pollination deficits. Here, we used a dataset from 286 sites from multiple production regi
Objective Poor outcome and neuropsychological sequelae after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a persistent problem. Pituitary dysfunction has been proposed as a contributing factor. Clinical studies have given variable and conflicting results on its importance and incidence after SAH. The aim of this study was to prospectively examine SAH patients with assessment of endocrine function i
It is a long-standing view that the main mechanism maintaining narrow migratory divides in passerines is the selection against intermediate and suboptimal migratory direction, but empirical proof of this is still lacking. We present novel results from a willow warbler migratory divide in central Sweden from where birds take the typical SW and SE as well as intermediate routes to winter quarters in
