This is the first annual report for the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a new national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The programme was initiated in 2010, and is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sci
During the last decade, a new design of schools with fan assisted natural ventilation has been introduced. Experience and knowledge of this type of ventilation system is therefore needed. The objective of the project is to study the technical and physical conditions required to ensure satisfactory ventilation. The whole project includes analyses of the air flows for different combinations of outdo
This chapter seeks to critically revisit existing third party logistics (3PL) purchasing literature with the aim of bridging the gap between academic research and industry practice regarding logistics outsourcing. This is achieved by focusing on hitherto under-emphasized issues (in the academic literature) relating to the role of the service provider, as opposed to that of the buyer, in 3PL exchan
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vattenbaserad målarfärg är ett exempel på en vattenlösning som måste förtjockas för att den skall uppföra sig som vi vill. I en färg med för låg viskositet sjunker alla partiklar snabbt till botten på burken och när man målar kan man bara ta lite färg i penseln om inte färgen skall droppa. För att färgen skall få rätt viskositet tillsätts vattenlösliga polymerer. En braStructure- property relationships and thickening mechanism in aqueous solution of two hydrophobically modified polymers (HM-P) with different architecture have been investigated. The two polymers, hydrophobically modified ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (HM-EHEC) and hydrophobically modified polyethylene glycol (HM-PEG), are commonly used as associative thickeners in the paint industry. The strength
Dissipation of acoustic waves may be an efficient heating mechanism forthe lower and middle chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The basic idea isthat turbulent motions at the top of the solar convection zone generateacoustic waves which propagate upwards and dissipate in the lower andmiddle chromosphere, transporting energy into the higher layers. Butstill the question remains if this amount of energy
A sample of anorexia nervosa (AN) cases recruited after community screening were contrasted with an age-, sex-, and school-matched comparison (COMP) group with regard to comorbidity at age 21 years, approximately 6 years after the reported onset of the eating disorder. Both groups had originally been examined at age 16 years. Most of the AN cases no longer met criteria for AN, but many continued t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns idag en uttalad strävan från samhällets sida att höja den arki-tektoniska kvaliteten i den byggda miljön. Den svenska bygg-lagstiftning-en är sedan ett par år tillbaka ändrad så att hänsyn måste tas också till estetiska kvaliteter när ändringar i den fysiska miljön ska genomföras. I den regerings-proposition som föregick lagändringen pekas arkitektur och desigThis dissertation deals with aesthetic rules in an urban context. The dissertation develops a theoretical framework for understanding the role of aesthetic rules, especially urban design codes, in the process of improving the architectural quality of the built environment. In the context of this framework three case studies of urban design codes are presented. The over-arching aim is hermeneutical
Controller synthesis for nonlinear systems is considered with the following objective: No trajectory starting from a given set of initial states is allowed to enter into a given set of forbidden (unsafe) states. A methodology for safety verification using barrier certificates has recently been proposed. Here it is shown how a safe control law together with a corresponding barrier certificate can b
The aim of the thesis was to develop new analytical detection principles based on enzymatic and immunological reactions for sensitive, selective, cost-effective and high sample through-put detection devices. The thesis presents the basic elements and reaction paths necessary for the construction and development of enzyme based amperometric biosensors and immunoassays. The developed biochemical det
This dissertation takes its departure from the methodology of German Begriffsgeschichte and sets out to explore the use of the concept of happiness in Swedish chapbooks (skillingtryck).The period considered, 1750-1850, frames the transition from early modern to modern society, a time that has often been labeled Sattelzeit or Schwellenzeit. The aim of this thesis is to study how the concept of happ
