Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt behov av att öka matproduktionen för en växande global befolkning, har sedan mitten av nittonhundratalet drivit jordbrukets utveckling. Det traditionella, småskaliga jordbrukslandskapet med sitt lapptäcke av betesmarker, ängar och åkrar, har över tid ersatts av ett mer produktionsinriktat landskap. Åkrar har slagits ihop för att skapa större odlingsenheter, där nyaThe intensification of agriculture during the second half of the twentieth century, has caused sever declines of farmland biodiversity, where loss of semi-natural habitats is one of the major drivers. To halt further loss of habitat and biodiversity, agri-environmental schemes (AES) are used to compensate farmers to use methods less harmful to the environment. In this thesis, I have investigated t

We have studied the state of Cyt b559 and the Mn cluster by EPR and optical spectroscopy in the different S-states between pH 4.0-10.0. In these experiments, the pH was changed after the OEC turnover to the appropriate S-state (at pH 6.0) by 0-3 saturating flashes. Furthermore, the state of Cyt b559 after a subsequent flash given after the pH modification was also investigated. The results show th

The modern consumers live in a transparent world with unlimited information and consumers adopt information strategies around who they trust and this is based on their values and experiences of food. Consumer question the information provided by the authorities and seek other sources of information such as the Internet and fellow consumers. There is a need for this consumer perspective in value ch

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vävnadsförändringar förekommer i många normala tillstånd, antingen gradvis som i åldrande eller mer drastiskt vid till exempel sårläkning, fosterutveckling och förlossning. Dessa vävnadsförändringar är viktiga, men det finns tillfällen då vävnadsförändringar är assoscierade med sjukdomar. Exempel på sådana sjukdomar är utvecklandet av cancer eller fibrotiska tillstånd sTissue remodeling is observed in several physiological conditions such as embryogenesis, senescence, wound healing and pregnancy, as well as in several pathological conditions such as fibrosis and tumorgenesis. Fibroblasts play a key role in this tissue remodeling due to their capability of altering the turnover of the extracellular matrix. During the remodeling process, the fibroblasts are believ

This thesis investigates advanced Swedish students’ development of three grammatical phenomena: subject-verb concord, prepositions and article use in compositions and translations. In order to describe the students’ development of these categories, actual errors are related to potential errors forming so called ‘error scores’. When the error score for the first test opportunity is compared with th

It has been proposed that six co-located antennas, namely three electric and three magnetic dipoles, can offer up to a six-fold capacity increase in wireless channels, relative to that of single antennas. In other words, six degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be supported by co-located six-port transmit and receive antenna arrays. However, due to the complexity in designing and measuring such a six-por

Within the framework of HASTA, a systematic study was conducted about Swedish municipalities’ traffic strategies and use of sustainability indicators to follow up the work on a sustainable transport system. This report analyzes the work of the municipalities with a traffic strategy in order to examine if the municipalities use sustainability indicators or not. Furthermore, the report analyzes in w

The thesis aims at creating a large-scale GIS database covering Amazonian prehistory between 2000 BC and AD 1700 in order to be able to test the hypothesis of ethnic circumscription described above. This database will be compiled of geographically positioned material from archaeology (datings, ceramic styles, tempering materials, rock art, anthropogenic soils, and other visual aspects of material
