The book has two interrelated objectives. One objective is meta-theoretical and concerns the exploration of theoretical debates connected to issues of studying society and environmental problems; another objective is empirical/analytical, referring to the analysis of "green" public participation in the electricity and waste sectors in Sweden, and partly in the Netherlands as well as the UK. The me

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag lagras allt fler kartor digitalt och nya metoder krävs för att förbättra denna digitala hantering. Ett område som studerats under senare tid är automatiska metoder för kartografisk generalisering. Kartografisk generalisering innebär att man förenklar informationen i en karta för att göra den mer lättläst i den önskade skalan. Denna avhandling beskriver en optimerinCartographic generalisation is the process of simplifying a representation to suit the scale and purpose of a map. As such, generalisation has always been a central part in map production. This thesis is a contribution to the ongoing work on automating cartographic generalisation. Two topics are treated: optimisation methods in graphic generalisation, and propagation of updates between cartographi

Popular Abstract in Swedish I mer än tre årtionden har kvinnors situation och främjandet av jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män lyfts fram inom utvecklingssamarbetet. Bilaterala organisationer har gjort politiska åtaganden och utvecklat strategier, metoder och instrument för att uppnå detta viktiga mål. Som uppföljning på FNs fjärde kvinnokonferens i Peking (1995) är det viktigt att analysera vad Gender equality has been on the development cooperation agenda for more than three decades. Bilateral agencies have developed policies, strategies, methodologies and tools to support achievement of this important goal. Following the Fourth United Nations Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 it is important to take stock of the progress that has been made, and identify the changes needed for movi

Popular Abstract in English Every level of human existence is affected by forced migration. It affects the central aspects of our outer and inner life. However, scientific research focused on the inner life of forced migrants, in particular the one regarding the impacts of forced migration on the most significant values that we hold in life, is often marginalized in forced migration studies. In anUntil recently studies regarding the pathological aspects of refugee experiences have led the psychology field of forced migration, giving little space to positive factors like the resilience and well-being of individuals faced with these adversities. This doctoral thesis emphasizes good health rather than disease and aims at deepening the understanding of resilience and health as opposed to the d

Transaktionsanalytisk psykoterapi - Tre metoder som beskriver en transaktionsanalytisk gruppterapi Avhandlingen är baserad på en ett årig Transaktionsanalytisk gruppterapi. Transaktionsana-lysen (TA) är en integrerad, relationell psykodynamisk terapi med rötter i den humanistiska psykologin. Den beskrivs i den internationella TA föreningen, ITAA:s utbildningsmanual (ITAA hemsida, 2011) som "en peTransactional Analysis Psychotherapy - Three Methods Describing a Transactional Analysis Group Therapy The overall aim of the present thesis was to enhance and revive the practical understanding of the active ingredients in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (TA) and to define and lay down elements of TA, which makes it a distinct and replicable method of treatment.

The activation of dendritic cells (DCs) by microbes is mediated by pattern recognition receptors including the Toll-like receptors (TLR). Bacterial lipopolysaccharide acts via TLR4 whereas peptidoglycan and lipoprotein responses are mediated by TLR2. It is generally accepted that TLR binding to microbes occurs at the cell surface but this has not been directly demonstrated for human DCs. We show h

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jätteplaneterna, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus, är de största planeterna i solsystemet. De ligger långt från solen och har alla betydande gasatmosfärer, upp emot hundra gånger mer massiva än hela jorden. Tack vare de tjocka gashöljena, med en sammansättning som liknar solens, kan man förstå att jätteplaneterna bildades i en gasskiva. Denna skiva kallas för solGiant planets form embedded in a protoplanetary disc around a young star. Close to the midplane a large fraction of the available mass in solids is found in particles of cm to dm in size, which drift towards the star due to friction with the surrounding gas. In paper I, II, III we describe a novel theory that explains how embryos, planetesimals larger than ~1000 km, grow efficiently by sweeping up

Popular Abstract in Swedish Identifiering av ärftlig äggstockscancer har stor klinisk relevans för att förhindra nya tumörer hos individen och i familjen. Möjligheten att förhindra bröstcancer i BRCA familjer genom kontrollprogram och profylaktisk kirurgi är välkänd, medan möjligheten att förhindra tarmcancer och livmodercancer i HNPCC familjer är mindre känd. Studierna i denna avhandling har kunnOvarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecological cancer death and in Sweden nearly 700 cases are diagnosed annually. Ovarian cancer has one of the highest frequencies of hereditary cancer. This thesis focuses on estimates of the contribution of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) to the development of ovarian cancer and investigates t

Urban water systems in southern Sweden face increasing pressure from both short- duration intense rainfall, which can cause pluvial flooding and pollutant discharges, and more frequent dry periods, which motivate water reuse (IPCC 2023; Schimanke et al. 2022; Canedo Rosso et al. 2025). Rainwater harvesting (RWH) tanks can contribute to both goals (Campisano et al. 2017), but their detention benefi

The Expansion of Higher Education in the Swedish the Welfare State and the  Reconfiguration of its Professional Workforce   Gunnar Olofsson   The rapid expansion of the Swedish university sector has channelled many students into study programs that lead to employment in new kinds of jobs, occupations and professional groups. There are three main reasons why more and more occupations get their trai

How can artistic creative practice be combined with ethnological cultural analysis? A process based on practices of art probing is proposed and related to discussions about museum imaginaries, digital cultures and sensory aspects of ethnography. The point of departure for the discussion is the audiovisual performance Possible Worlds.

Looking into the topic of cloud sourcing, at first glance it might be seen as an off the shelf pay per use service that is easy and fast to adopt for most companies. Although in practice not all companies succeed with cloud sourcing. Previous research shows that cloud sourcing entails risks especially in the adoption phase in terms of security, trust, data loss, and transparency among others. The

The signaling within and between cells in biology is governed by molecular recognition between natural or synthetic ligands and proteins. This thesis project aimed to investigate the thermodynamic properties of specific interaction between synthetic ligands and galectin proteins. The choice of galectins as model proteins resides in the availability of applicability in a full range of complementary
