Following the peace treaty between Sweden and the regency of Algiers in 1729, the first Swedish consulate was established in this city. One of the first employees at the consulate was a man named Carl Reftelius (d. 1758), who, after approximately two years of service, returned home and wrote the very first Swedish account of the city and its inhabitants: Historisk och Politisk Beskrifning Öfwer Ri

Popular Abstract in Swedish I århundranden har vi människor fascinerats av flyttfåglar och frågat oss vart de ska, var de kommer ifrån och hur de hittar. Idag, tack vare forskning, vet vi mer om fågelflyttning än någonsin, men det finns fortfarande mycket kvar att ta reda på. Vadare som häckar i Arktis är riktiga långflyttare med många arter som flyttar mer än 10 000 kilometer varje vår och höst oThe phenomenon of bird migration has long fascinated us humans and it has prompted questions like where do they go or come from and how do they find their way? Arctic shorebirds are well known for their spectacular long-distance migrations with some species travelling more than 10 000 km every spring and autumn, and some even cover this distance in one single nonstop flight. The aim of my thesis w
In this thesis I explore the ecotoxicological responses of aquatic organisms at different hierarchical levels to organic contaminants by means of bioassays. The bioassays use novel endpoints or approaches to elucidate the effects of exposure to contaminants and attempt to give mechanistic explanations that could be used to interpret effects at higher hierarchical scales. The sensitivity of popul
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige betonas idag alltmer det hälsofrämjande arbetet riktat mot barn, ungdomar och deras föräldrar. Olika föräldrastödsaktiviteter erbjuds. Det behövs ökad kunskap om varför vissa aktiviteter fungerar bättre än andra. Det är även viktigt att känna till föräldrarnas motiv för att deltaga och upplevelser av stödaktiviteten. Syftet med denna avhandling var att belysa In today's Swedish society there is increasing emphasis on health-promotive work among children, adolescents, and their parents. Knowledge is needed about why certain activities work better than others. It is important to study the parents' motives and experiences of participating in parental supporting programmes. In child health care, mostly among the nurses, there is a contrast between what th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mellan 0.3 och 2.1 % av alla barn föds med portvins fläckar (PWS). Till skillnad mot vissa andra kärlmissbildningar försvinner inte PWS utan tvärtom blir många mer blåröda och tjockare med åren. Majoriteten av patienterna upplever sig vara negativt psykosocialt påverkade av sitt PWS i jämförelse med jämnåriga. Dessa negativa upplevelser minskar efter behandlingarna.(Se This thesis covers 12 years of experience in treating patients with congenital capillary malformations, so called port wine stains (PWS). The wide variation in treatment response to laser therapy has developed a profound need for the development of objective devises to measure treatment outcome, so that the maximum effectiveness of therapy can be achieved without unnecessary treatments. The purpos
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling har varit att studera användningen av datorer i arbetet utifrån ett mer holistiskt perspektiv än vad som varit brukligt i tidigare traditionell hälsoforskning om datoranvändning, genom att även inkludera arbetsinnehållet som inte utförs med hjälp av datorn. Avhandlingens ansatts skiljer sig således från tidigare traditionell hälsoforsThis thesis aims at investigating computer use at work from a more holistic work content perspective by also studying non-computer work content, in contrast to the previous approach in occupational health research that focused almost solely on computer work content. It was argued here that non-computer work content has also become significant to the overall work situation for computer users. This
The need for more functionality and higher performance has increased the number of transistors to billions in current processors. A high number of transistors on the same chip area increases the power density, which in turn heats up the devices and lowers the life time of batteries. The increasing demand for devices relying on battery and harvested energies in the Internet of Things (IoT) era has
Medical students’ access to clinical supervision when rotating through hospital workplaces and the quality of that supervision are and have been an area of growing professional and societal concern. Increased training measures targeted at supervising physicians have been suggested to address this issue. Traditionally, such training has focused on offering physicians opportunities to develop as sup
Bilismen orsakar en mängd problem i våra städer. Det handlar dels om negativa effekter på människors hälsa på grund av skadliga partikelutsläpp, buller, trafikolyckor och stillasittande, dels om platsen den tar i anspråk vilket leder till trängsel och att värdefull mark tas i besittning av väginfrastruktur och parkeringsplatser. I ett större perspektiv bidrar biltrafiken även till utsläpp av växthTraffic accumulated by cars is responsible for considerable problems in our cities. The problem is partly about the negative effects on human health due to harmful particulate emissions, noise, traffic accidents and sedentary lifestyles, partly about the space it occupies, which leads to congestion, and the fact that valuable land is taken up by road infrastructure and parking lots. In a bigger pe
Firms proactive in environmental work and those pressured by their product chain have a list of restricted substances that they do not want their products to contain. But as environmental management issues progress, what are companies doing to reduce the use of these restricted substances? Brominated flame retardants used in cars, trucks and buses to improve fire safety are a rising public concern
Firefighters are occupationally exposed to a large number of toxic compounds (IARC 2010). The occupational exposure of firefighters has been classified as potentially carcinogenic (class 2B, IARC; (Straif K. et al. 2007)). Poorly quantified emission factors and low understanding of when various aerosol emissions are likely to form during a fire event (initiation, combustion, extinguishing) inhibit
Lung transplantation (LTx) is an established therapeutic option for end-stage pulmonary disease. However, it remains restricted by donor lung scarcity. Donor's lungs are rejected frequently due to severe lung damage caused by aspiration or neurogenic pulmonary oedema that can all lead to acute lung injury (ALI), and more severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung transplant patients f
In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su
Urbaniseringen innebär att det blir mer och mer hårdgjorda ytor i städer, vilket ökar belastningen på dagvattennätet. Vidare så innebär klimatförändringarna ytterligare utmaningar då nederbörden i Sverige antas öka. För att hantera detta föreslås hållbara dagvattenlösningar varav gröna tak kan vara en del. Detta skapar ett behov att på ett enkelt sätt modellera avrinningen från gröna tak. I detta The increasing urbanization means there are more and more impermeable surfaces in cities. This is straining the capacity of the stormwater network. Furthermore, climate change is assumed to bring about more precipitation in Sweden in the future. In order to deal with these challenges a sustainable approach to stormwater management is needed. Green roofs can be one part of the solution. This create
Access to fresh water is essential for the lives of organisms and for human activities. However, with a growing population that strives after a higher standard of living, the pressure on already limited resources will rise. Lake Chad is one out of many diminishing lakes in the world where the call for action is urgent to prevent ecosystem degradation, famine, and outbreak of war. The lake has shru
The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors on the business potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example. And to give recommendations on how a dairy producer, which is present in the Swedish market, could improve the sales rates of products with health claims. We have chosen to put a main focus on the consumer, as he or she determines the b
Ever since the phenomenon of predatory pricing came under the antitrust radar in the Standard Oil case it has spurred debate, which was accentuated after McGee’s seminal article in 1958 where he reexamined the Standard Oil case and claimed that no predatory pricing had taken place. He was supported by a number of scholars (the Chicago school) and legal commentators who stated that predatory pricin
