Skåne, den farliga halvön. Historia, identitet och ideologi 1865-2000

Scania, the dangerous peninsula. History, identity and ideology 1865 to 2000 This dissertation deals with the organized written history of Scania 1865 to 2000 and the intersection of history, identity and ideology. Under what circumstances were the history produced and circulated? What was its significance for identity and ideology alike? The theoretical and analytical inspiration is drawn from P

Asymptotically Good LDPC Convolutional Codes with AWGN Channel Thresholds Close to the Shannon Limit

In this paper, we perform an iterative decoding threshold analysis of LDPC block code ensembles formed by terminating (J,K)-regular and irregular AR4JA-based LDPC convolutional codes. These ensembles have minimum distance growing linearly with block length and their thresholds approach the Shannon limit as the termination factor tends to infinity. Results are presented for various ensembles and te

Vikten av Vinst - En studie om syftets betydelse i bolagsstyrning

This study focuses on the purpose of commercial operations as a key factor in the governance of firms. The background is that the extensive discussions about the purpose of the firm, primarily within the economic and legal disciplines, have for a long time been polarized between two positions: shareholder primacy and stakeholder theory. These discussions are carried out in in the context of consid

How smart are electricity users with ‘Smart Metering’? A Behavioural Economics experiment

The purpose of this paper is to examine how behavioural biases affect consumers’ response to energy-use information provided through smart meters (SM). We take insights from behavioural economics and carry out two real-life experiments with SMs and electricity users. The experiments were conducted in Copenhagen (Denmark) to identify and assess the potential of two economic behavioural biases, sali

Modern Human Physiology with Respect to Evolutionary Adaptations that Relate to Diet in the Past

This paper reviews evidence from human physiology as to which foods may have been typically consumed by the hominin ancestral lineage up to the advent of anatomically modern humans. Considerable evidence suggests that many common diseases can be prevented by hunter-gatherer diets. Apparently, human nutritional metabolism is not perfectly fine-tuned for recently introduced staple foods, such as cer

This paper presents a general view, from a Swedish perspective, of one of the less known Queens of Sweden, Isabella (Elisabeth) of Habsburg. She was the daughter of Philip I and Joan I of Castile, and thus the sister of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. She married the Danish-Norwegian-Swedish King Christian II, in Sweden generally known as Christian the Tyrant. After a short biography of the Scan

Colonisation and PAH degradation by wood-rotting fungi in contaminated soil

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid många industriella processer bildas olika typer av biprodukter, som kan vara mer eller mindre giftiga. En ovarsam hantering av de giftiga ämnena, eller en olycka, kan lätt leda till att den omgivande miljön blir förorenad. Förr, när man var mindre medveten om riskerna med de här ämnena hamnade de ofta i marken kring anläggningarna. Det har resulterat i många förorenBioremediation of soils is considered a low-cost alternative to other remediation techniques. Its ability to remove a number of different pollutants has been demonstrated, relying mainly on the activities of indigenous soil bacteria. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered major environmental pollutants in soil, some of them being toxic and others carcinogenic. Since high-molecu

Influence of water conditions on growth and mineral nutrient uptake of native plants on clacareous soil

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studierna som presenteras i papper I till IV i min avhandling visar markvattnets betydelse för marklösningens kemi och växternas respons på förändringen i vattenhalt. Med mina experiment har jag studerat dels kalkjord med olika vattenhalter och dels markvattens påverkan på växternas näringsupptagning i växthus. Jag har också försökt finna samband mellan växternas responThe studies presented in Papers I to IV illustrate the importance of soil moisture in soil solution chemistry and response of native plants to the changes induced by change in moisture regime. With the help of glasshouse experiments I tried to study the influence of different treatments of soil moisture conditions on the mineral uptake by native plants of calcareous soil. I also tried to find the
