Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har utbredningen och förekomsten i av många arter av fåglar, växter och insekter knutna till jordbrukslandskap på olika håll i Europa minskat på grund av jordbrukets rationalisering och intensifiering. För att motverka dessa negativa trender måste man ha kännedom om den relativa betydelsen av lokala och regionala ekologiska processer för popDuring the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. I have studied the ef

The aim of this article is to briefly explore how quartz-rich sandstone might have been perceived by TRB societies. Using the senses as a point of departure, it discusses how sandstone was selected for grinding stones and for dry walling in megaliths, emphasizing the significance of the visual as well as the mechanical properties of the material. The article also acknowledges the complexity of th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ultraljudets roll vid utredning av postmenopausalblödning Målsättning Att ta reda på hur ultraljud bäst används vid utredningen postmenopausalblödning för att individualisera och optimera diagnostiken och behandlingen. Värdet av gråskaleultraljud med eller utan koksaltsinfusion (hydrosonografi) och av "Power Doppler"-ultraljud undersöktes med avsikt att ta reda på om The aim of this thesis was to investigate how ultrasound can be used in the diagnostic work-up of women with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) to optimise and individualise their management. The thesis is based on six studies comprising post-menopausal women with (Study I-VI) and without (Study VI) abnormal bleeding. The clinical value of conventional ultrasound, with or without saline infusion (hyd

Under de senaste trettio åren har Sverige och Europa genomgått en dramatisk omvandling. Geopolitiska förändringar i kombination med globalisering har förändrat näringsliv och politik i grunden. Därmed har efterkrigstidens hot och risker ersatts av andra och i vissa fall mer diffusa samhällsrisker. Även sociala frågor har kommit att diskuteras och betraktas som hot och risker.
