The accurate estimation of soil carbon (C) pool and fluxes is a prerequisite to better understand the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. However, recent studies showed considerable uncertainties in soil C estimates. To provide a reliable C estimate in the grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), we calibrated key parameters in a process-based ecosystem model (the CENTURY model) throug

This thesis explores the role played by norms and social actors in establishing the acceptability and the purported validity of leadership measures. Taking an interpretivist and critical approach, I examine the subjective and normative side of supposedly objective quantitative assessment tools.Through observations, interviews, and document analysis I uncover the normative agendas and social contex

I detta kapitel ställs frågor om betydelsen av mellanmänskliga möten inom vården utifrån ett patientperspektiv. Närmare bestämt hur kvinnor med bröstcancer upplevt att de fått balansera den medicinska vårdens effektivitet mot ett delvis uteblivet känslomässigt och personligt bemötande. Det kan beskrivas som ett känsloarbete där de medicinska villkoren väger över så att de egna känslorna inte får d

Moving from a fossil dependent to a fossil free economy requires increased energy production from renewable resources. This thesis discusses the utilization of agricultural waste streams, such as straw and manure, for biogas production. The first part of the research presented focuses on pretreatment of straw with the aim to reduce the handling issues concerning straw and improve the degradation o

I det här kapitlet beskriver och diskuterar vi hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorns roll i ett historiskt såväl som nutida perspektiv. Frågor i fokus handlar om hur den nyligen införda yrkeslegitimationen för kuratorer inom hälso- och sjukvården påverkar arbetssituationen avseende autonomi, jurisdiktion och samverkan med andra yrkesgrupper. Förändras yrkets legitimitet i organisationen? Vilka möjligheter

INTRODUCTION: Immune cells in the tumour microenvironment are associated with prognosis and response to therapy. We aimed to comprehensively characterise the spatial immune phenotypes in the mutational and clinicopathological background of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS: We established a multiplexed fluorescence imaging pipeline to spatially quantify 13 immune cell subsets in 359 NSCLC

Arbetet med stöd till forskningsdatahantering har utvecklats snabbt de senaste tio åren och kunskap har samlats både i publikationer och universitetsinterna rapporter. Forskarna efterfrågar infrastruktur, stöd och en universitetspolicy att luta sig emot. En analys av aggregerade behov och befintligt stöd visar att universitetet bör utveckla en samlad infrastruktur för forskningsdatalagring med möj

Stille slag (Quiet Beats) is an interdisciplinary performance based on a newly composed choir piece by Louise Alenius with text and dramaturgy by Tanja Diers, directed by Tue Biering in a visual concept by Ida Grarup. On stage are seven classical singers and five former inmates. The former inmates are moving in repetitive patterns in a cell like environment surrounded and ghosted by the singers wh

In recent years, since the cloud can provide tremendous advantages regarding storage and computing resources, the industry has been motivated to move industrial control systems to the cloud. However, the cloud also introduces significant security challenges since moving control systems to the cloud can enable attackers to infiltrate the system and establish an attack that can lead to damages and d

Railways are vulnerable to extreme weather events. Some of these are expected to increase in frequency and severity in a warming world, prompting adaptation efforts. To inform these efforts, we have analysed railway operations data from Sweden in the period 2001-2020 to learn more about the past effects of extreme weather events on train delays. We have used a database containing some 1.6 billion

Rörelsekvalité är en faktor som anses vara viktig att utvärdera hos patienter med främre korsbandsskada. Däremot har det inte varit helt klarlagt hur rörelsekvaliteten ska utvärderas. Denna avhandling utvärderar postural orientering som ett kliniskt mått på rörelsekvalitet

Alteration in postural orientation (i.e., the ability to align body segments in relation to each other) can occur due to pain or injury and is suggested to be a risk factor for traumatic knee injuries and early onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. However, clinical and biomechanical assessment of postural orientation is time-consuming, thus new and faster methods are needed in order to be

Patients referred to orthopeadic care due to longstanding hip and groin pain often suffers from hip-related pain. Hip-related pain such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome may lead to early onset of hip osteoarthritis. Previous research has shown that patients with longstanding hip and groin pain have poor patient-reported outcomes compared to healthy controls. Also, decreased hip muscle stre
