Recent choir related research has different points of departure. One point of departure involves theory and methodology developed in cultural and social sciences. Another includes historical musicology. With choir as an overarching umbrella concept, the network Choir in Focus provides the scope for cooperation across national and disciplinary borders.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det stratosfäriska ozonlagret håller på att förtunnas och detta kommer att leda till att mer skadlig ultraviolett-B (UV-B) strålning når ner till biosfären. För att undersöka hur detta påverkar ett subarktiskt hedekosystem har vi bestrålat ett sådant med extra UV-B strålning motsvarande 15 % ozonförtunning. Studierna har utförts på en dvärgbuskhed vid Abisko NaturvetensThe stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-320 nm) radiation is of global concern due to the effects of UV-B on living organisms. To investigate the effects of increased levels of UV-B, a field irradiation system was established at a subarctic dwarf shrub heath in Northern Sweden (68 °N). An ozone depletion of 15 % under clear sky conditions was simu

Unattended Ground Sensor Networks (UGSN) are becoming increasingly popular for surveillance and situational awareness applications. Acoustic sensors can be used in UGSN to detect and to classify targets, and these sensors are cost efficient, easy to deploy, and above all, non-jammable since they are passive. An array of acoustic sensors can detect multiple sound sources and determine the direction

The rise of new consumer culture in the first decades of the 20th century created turmoil between traditio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år diagnostiseras över 50 000 nya cancerfall i Sverige varav drygt hälften botas. Sedan början på 1970-talet har cancer blivit allt vanligare. Ökningen beror delvis på att vi blivit allt äldre - cancer är en ålderssjukdom. Dödligheten har däremot varit ganska konstant under en längre tid eftersom diagnostik och behandling av cancer har förbättrats. De vanligaste Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the world, particularly in developing countries and is considered as a major public health problem. Radiation therapy has been an important modality for treatment of cancer for many decades. It can be used as a sole treatment modality or in combination with for example surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or immune therapy. It has been calculated
