Popular science summary Do metformin and phenformin cause toxicity to mitochondria of human blood cells? Metformin and phenformin are anti-diabetic drugs associated with lactic acidosis as a rare side effect. This side effect is thought to be due to drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. In this project, the mitochondrial toxicity of metformin and phenformin was assessed in human blood cells. I

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen innehåller fyra uppsatser som på ett eller annat sätt relaterar till befolkningsströmningar såsom dess ekonomiska konsekvenser och orsaker. I den första uppsatsen används en hushållsundersökning från Kina för att undersöka huruvida utbildning bidrar till att höja inkomsterna hos hushåll i jordbrukssektorn. Genom regressionsanalys uppmäts korrelatioAbstract Population movements are more substantial today than at any other point in human history. If managed effectively, migration can be beneficial for all aspects of social and economic life. This thesis contains four papers, all of which are related to the economic consequences and determinants of migration, within and across countries.

This study

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet med arbetet var att öka mängden vindkraft, solel och annan distribuerad generering (DG) som kan anslutas till befintliga distributionsnät på ett snabbt och kostnadseffektivt sätt. Att införa aktiv spänningsreglering i nätet, istället för installation av nya ledningar, har identifierats som en lämplig strategi. Då denna princip bygger på att DG-enheternas produktioDistributed generation (DG), i.e. generation connected to the low and medium voltage distribution network (DN), has been increasing a lot during recent years. Thus the traditional assumption of a unidirectional power flow and a voltage decrease along the distribution feeders is no longer valid in all operation conditions. Voltage control in these networks is often limited to the on-load tap change

In Sweden, the adoption of membrane technology for drinking water production is increasing, prompting many water producers to consider substantial investments in new membrane facilities. Ensuring the sustainability of membrane operation in terms of cost,environmental impact, and long-term performance is a top priority. This descriptive study aims to identify common operational trends or practices

In 1998 renewable energy sources supplied 56 ± 10 exajoules,or about 14 percent of world primary energy consumption. Thesupply was dominated by traditional biomass (38 ± 10 exajoules a year. Other major contributions came from large hydropower (9 exajoules a year) and from modern biomass (7 exajoules). The contribution of all other renewables — small hydropower, geothermal, wind, solar, and marine

Sustainability reporting has become both a necessity and a potential competitive advantage for many contemporary corporations. However, unlike many industrial operators, real estate owners and investors have not yet seen the need tofollow or report their environmental performance on any large scale. This lack of pro-activeness is both peculiar and problematic considering that the built environment

The consumption of plastic bags is a global problem that leads to increased concentration of plastic in the world oceans. In 2014, annual consumption of plastic carrier bags amounted to around 100 billion in the EU, which corresponds to an average of about 200 bags per person per year, of which many plastic bags are used only once and/or end up as waste in nature. This thesis is a comparative case
