Hägnader har sedan medeltiden varit oumbärliga för hur svenska byar organiserade sin gemensamma betesdrift. Därför har såväl hägnaden som det rättsliga ramverk som strukturerade upp när, var och hur hägnader skulle uppföras, lagen om stängselskyldighet, tillskrivits stor betydelse för bykollektivet i svensk historia. Under 1700- och 1800-talen uppstod dock reformer avsedda att bryta upp detta bykoThe Closed Countryside: The Prescriptive Duty to Fence and the Organisation of Agriculture in Sweden during the 18th and 19th CenturiesThis thesis explores the relationship between fences as enforcing tools and ideas of private property in Sweden during the 18th and 19th centuries. It does this by looking mainly at parliamentary debates about the law on how to manage fences and the peace of the fi

During an ethnographic fieldwork trip conducted in June 2025 in Brazil between in two cities 4000 kilometers apart, Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, and Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, I conducted interviews with the eldest generation of my aunts and uncles in order to continue the investigation I have been engaged in during my doctoral studies on ancestry, migration and the ever-present eff

In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growi

Premise: Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia. Methods: We measured floral traits, reflectance of petals and nectar-guide

Here we present the integrated design, high-fidelity simulation, and virtual emissioncertification of a medium-range aero-engine combustor developed within the EU-funded MYTHOS project. The objective is to establish a physics-based framework capable of predicting combustor behavior for both conventional fuels and emerging Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Starting from a 0D thermodynamic cycle, a

Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may be due to the spread of chemical or biological compounds from building into the indoor air. One way to avoid the problem is to attach an emissions barrier indoors onto the surfaces from which the emissions are being spread (floor, walls, ceiling). Here we report on the use of the surface emissions trap (cTrap), an emissions barrier developed at Lund Univ

Background: Policy advocacy (PA) in European healthcare has a strong tradition promoting evidence-based policies. Key organisations, including the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the WHO’s Evidence-Informed Policy Network, and the OECD play pivotal roles in integrating research into policymaking. Objectives: To assess the involvement of European Family Medicine (FM) Associatio

Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with a poor prognosis but is difficult to diagnose non-invasively. In a recent paper, ST-segment depression on exercise-ECG was found to have a very high positive predictive value (PPV) for CMD in a highly selected group of patients. Objectives In the present study of chest pain patients, we used myocardial perfusion single photon e

Småföretag med färre än 50 anställda är dominerande i både svenskt och många andra länders näringsliv. En delgrupp bland småföretag är mikroföretag med färre än 10 anställda. Syftet med denna rapport är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur arbetsmiljöarbetet upplevs och genom förs i småföretag, samt vilka hinder och möjligheter som kan förekomma i dessa företag i relation till arbetsmiljöarbetet.

Background and purpose: Molecularly targeted cancer therapies challenge conventional health economic evaluation frameworks that are structured around tumour-specific indications, comparators, and trial designs. Existing models often rely on pooled estimates from heterogeneous early-phase evidence or single-indication analyses, creating uncertainty for reimbursement decision-makers. We propose a co

Despite their geological significance, the thermochemical processes leading to the formation of early carbonate cements remain elusive. To bridge this knowledge gap, we carried out here laboratory-simulated diagenesis on aragonite ooids. They were placed in autoclaves, filled with distilled water, and subjected to varying temperatures and durations. Our results focus on the transformation from ara

This chapter interrogates the widespread belief that individual purchasing choices are the main force behind sustainability transitions. This myth rests on three assumptions: that consumers drive markets while businesses and governments merely react, that individuals are defined primarily as buyers and that deliberate consumer decisions can alone create sustainable demand. The chapter shows how th

Extreme heat is both a chronic and acute threat to the health and well-being of urban populations. The aim of this paper is to share experiences from using a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct research on extreme indoor heat, plus highlight the benefits of taking this more holistic approach. Research conducted in urban Ghana measured temperatures in homes and workplaces, eval

Small-scale artisanal fishery in Ghana has encountered unprecedented challenges in recent decades, including dwindling fish stocks. Correspondingly, the sector’s institutional landscape has evolved to comprise a diverse array of institutions. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted in two fishing communities in Ghana, this paper examines the complex interplay between formal and informal institu

Extreme heat is a growing public health threat in tropical Africa, especially in Ghana where outdoor maximum daily temperatures (Tx) regularly exceed 35 °C. Vulnerability to heat is socially and economically differentiated, with pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and people with chronic health conditions most at risk. High proportions of these groups are found in hospitals, yet little

This chapter provides a critical review of geographical research on informal education. We trace how understandings of informal education have been enriched in recent years through geographical concepts and original research. We use this chapter to call on geographers to move from what have tended to be isolated studies of informal education in a national context – whether in the global North (pre

Urban infrastructure is crucial for livelihoods and economic growth, however, access remains fragmented. Such differential infrastructure provision within cities necessitates intra-urban comparison and a renewed commitment to re-thinking between and within neighborhoods in ways that do not universalize infrastructure geographies. This paper examines how electricity and water infrastructure affect

Brain drain has long been argued to be one of Africa’s key development challenges. This paper provides a more nuanced analysis of African career mobility through a focus on professionals in the creative industries, specifically Ghanaian fashion designers. Drawing on interviews with 31 fashion designers but focussing on the career geography of internationally renowned Kofi Ansah, we show how ‘brain
