What decides how plant litter is decomposed, and by whom? Trees take up carbon in form of atmospheric CO2 from the air and use as building material as they grow. This carbon, locked in plant material, enters the soil carbon cycle via aboveground litter for example in the form of fallen foliage, dead trees, lost bark or via the plants root system as root litter or root exudates. Fungi and bacteria
I detta examensarbete har sex olika mellangrödor (hampa, honungsört, oljerättika, sudangräs, luddvicker och vitsenap) undersökts för användning till biogas produktion som ett alternativ för framställning av biobränsle. Miljöfrågor, behovet av nya bränslen och ökningen av världens befolkning har lett till uppmärksamheten för förnybara bränslen det senaste årtiondet. Den Europeiska Unionen har sattThe eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel.

The invaders vs. the protectors: who wins the battle? Pseudomonas aeruginosa or in short PsA is a type of microorganism, also known as “bacteria” or “germ” or “bug”. It is very tiny and invisible to our naked eyes. This germ is found everywhere in places like soil, and water. PsA can get into the human body through wounds and other injuries and make people sick. To prevent humans from getting inf
Can mussel shells cure heavy metal polluted soils? Heavy metal contamination in soils has become a global concern, as it has recently been increasing due to anthropogenic factors, such as agricultural and mining activities. These practices have led to elevated and unsustainable metal concentrations in soils, causing toxicity and fatality to plants and other living organisms. Heavy metal polluted
In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o
In an economic environment signified by shortened product lifecycles, product proliferation and reduced profit margins, product replacement decision making (PRDM) ought to be an important part of management. The case is however often that considerably more energy and resources at a firm are spent at the opposite task, hence product development. The main purpose of this master thesis was to constru
Bakgrund Med en snabbt växande äldre populationsgrupp kommer även andelen med kognitiva störningar, som demens, att växa. Det är således nödvändigt med forskning på kognition och åldrande. Denna avhandling, genom fyra delarbeten, redogör för testledareffekter vid kognitionsmätningar och hur yngre födelsekohorter (generationer) presterar bättre än äldre på kognitionstester. Den kommer även förklaraGiven a growing population of older adults and the common occurrence of natural as well as pathological cognitive decline, i.e. dementia, there is a need to better understand how to accurately measure and classify level of cognitive functioning. Both using multiple test administrators to collect cognitive data and what year the participant is born (birth cohort effects) can influence participants’
The aim of this thesis was to study annually laminated (varved) Holocene lake sediment in Sweden, their formation and their potential as chronological and palaeoecological archives. Five lakes with continuous Holocene varved lake sediment sequences in northern (Västerbotten) and west central Sweden (Värmland) were investigated. Three of these sequences were discovered during this study, which iden
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kambrium är ett tidsavsnitt av jordens historia som spänner från ca 542 till 488 miljoner år sedan. Under denna tid utvecklades livet, främst djur, i en rasande takt genom något som brukar kallas den kambriska explosionen, en ekologisk förändring utan dess like. Bland de nya livsformer som fick de kambriska haven att koka av liv märks skalbärande djur som små armfotingaThis thesis is based on studies of Cambrian successions in Sweden, with particular focus on the middle Cambrian biostratigraphy and its correlative relationship to the proposed global agnostoid zonation. The investigated material, mainly trilobites, was collected from both outcrops and drill cores from five provinces in Sweden: Skåne (Scania), Öland, Västergötland, Jämtland and Lapland. The Almba
Background: Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy, a novel tissue-preserving treatment for low-risk prostate cancer, has shown favourable safety and efficacy results in single-arm phase 1 and 2 studies. We compared this treatment with the standard of care, active surveillance, in men with low-risk prostate cancer in a phase 3 trial. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was done in 47 Europea
The composition of the colonic microflora is essential for the health of the human host. To be able to survive, the microflora is dependent of a continuous supply of substrate. In this respect dietary fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates, of which the consumption in affluent societies is generally low, are of great importance. Numerous of studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of dieta
Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65

Even though the company has been very successful, the private equity industry is highly competitive and more and more companies are turning their strategy towards growth equity. To stand out and keep the competitive advantage, having a strong brand and communicating efficiently is particularly important for a privat
BACKGROUND: Risk stratification tools for paediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in well-resourced settings are scarce. We prospectively developed models to predict CAP severity within a multinational cohort of paediatric emergency departments (EDs). Our primary objective was to develop a risk prediction model to discriminate between mild CAP and moderate or severe CAP to assist clinicians
Background and Objectives: Animal studies have suggested a link between benzodiazepine and related Z-drug (BZDR) use and immune dysfunction. Corresponding evidence in humans is limited and focuses mainly on pneumonia. This study aimed to assess the association of incident BZDR use with subsequent development of serious infections. Methods: This Swedish register-based study included a population-ba
