The Swedish carbon tax of 1991, one of the first of its kind, has positioned Sweden as a forerunner in climate governance. It is often depicted an international success and today constitutes the backbone of Swedish climate policy. At first, however, the tax received widespread criticism and had limited political support. The policy design process was short, with limited time for deliberation. Whil

Stora Sköndal har en intressant och ­sällan uppmärksammad roll i svensk social- och kyrkohistoria. Den tar sin början vid förra sekelskiftet med utbildning av manliga diakoner, en grundsten till 1900-talets utbildning av socialarbetare, och med ett av landets första vårdhem för epileptiker.

Measurements of archaeological cereal grains has the potential to improve interpretations of archaeobotanical assemblages and to address a broad range of research questions related to agricultural practices in the past. However, understanding the role of the many factors that can influence the morphometrics of cereal grains is of importance to validate the application of morphometrics in archaeobo

Land-use practices and their intensity along with climatic conditions alter amounts of soil organic carbon content and consequently influence soil microorganisms. However, land-use management, such as crop residue incorporation to soils has a potential to mitigate losses of soil organic carbon and thereafter promote the diversity of soil microorganisms. To gain insight of microbial functional dive

Aggressive pituitary tumors (APT) and pituitary carcinomas (PC) are heterogeneous with regard to clinical presentation, proliferative markers, clinical course and response to therapy. Half of them show an aggressive course only many years after the first apparently benign presentation. APT and PC share several properties, but Ki67 index ≥10% and extensive p53 expression are more prevalent in PCs.

Background: The choice of rhythm control drugs for recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains empirical and is based on the safety profile rather than predicted efficacy. Flecainide is recommended for prevention of AF recurrence in patients without structural heart disease however predictors of treatment success are insufficiently studied.
