Mechanisms that govern transport, accumulation and toxicity of persistent pollutants at interfaces in aquatic ecosystems are the foci of this thesis. Specific attention is paid to humic substances, their occurrence, composition, and role in exchange processes across interfaces. It was concluded that: Composition of humic substances in aquatic surface microlayers is different from that of the subsu

Strength grading of Norway spruce side boards in the wet state was investigated. For a sample of 58 boards of dimensions 25×120×3000 mm3, density and dynamic modulus of elasticity in the axial direction, MOEdyn, were determined in the wet state. The boards were then split into two parts and the procedure of determining MOEdyn was repeated both before and after the boards were dried to a target moi

The chapter outlines how nature and health are employed in the commodification of ritual healing in late modern Sweden. New ritualized practices have developed which are aimed at the modern man. How do these new rituals connect to health and nature and how are tradition, body, mind, place and locality represented within these practices?

A chapter on societal, individual and socioeconomic consequences of long term unemployment and unfinished education among marginalised youth.

This paper presents two systems of temporal logic, \Lambda_{CPT} and \Lambda_{CPT@}, with ceteris paribus modalities. The principal aim is to show how this approach can be useful to give an ockhamist solution to the future contingents problem along the same lines of A. Prior. The interest of this work lies also in the fact that \Lambda_{CPT@} represents an alternative modal account of supervaluati

Jordens medeltemperatur bör inte höjas mer än högst 2 grader till år 2050. Det är ett mål som Sverige har ställt sig bakom. Om vi ska lyckas med detta måste vi drastiskt minska våra utsläpp av koldioxid och andra växthusgaser. Forskningsprogrammet LETS arbetar med frågor som: Vilken politisk styrning och institutionell förändring krävs? Vilka hinder finns och vilka är möjligheterna på vägen mot de

Objective: To explore whether clinical balance and gait tests can predict instability (falls and/or near falls) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).Background: Current PD-studies suggest that multiple balance tests should be used in order to predict falls. However, few studies have included near falls when investigating falls prospectively as recommended.Methods: The study included 74 people w
