Under 2012–2014 organiserade VIWAFU, ett nätverk för internationellt och interdisciplinärt forskarsamarbete i Norden och Baltikum, fyra seminarier för master-studenter, doktorander och post-docs. Var och ett av seminarierna hade ett tema, t.ex. VA-branschens reglering och styrning, infrastruktur för dricksvatten, innovativ utveckling inom kommunala vattenfrågor samt vattenhantering i turistområdenViable Water Management and Governance for Futures (VIWAFU), a professional network for international and interdisciplinary collaboration amongst researchers from the Nordic and Baltic countries, was built for providing and sharing knowledge on water management and governance for future policy and decision making during the years 2012–2014. VIWAFU organized four workshops for MSc students, PhD stu

Contrary to the general trend in European countries since the 2000s, Sweden has neither restricted its migration policy nor limited the rights of migrants. This changed with the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 when the government introduced policy changes to curb the number of arrivals and impede the granting of residence permits. Civil society organizations are significantly involved in the reception of

The Lewis (Le) blood group antigens are a set of fucosylated glycan structures. They are present as N- and O-linked structures on glycoproteins and as glycolipid-based structures on cell surfaces. Depending on the exact structure, the Lewis group is divided into four subgroups; Lea, Leb, Lex and Ley. Lex and Lea can further be sialylated and/or sulfonated. Among these, Lex has been found to be imp

The breakdown of traditional marine tenure systems and overexploitation of marine organisms as a result of rapid modernization, urbanization and population growth in the case of Tonga is outlined. The customary marine tenure system is described and the threats against the coral reefs are discussed. It is shown how accumulative strategies correlate with the move toward overexploitation. It is argue

This working paper will discuss how societal systems (technological, political, economic etc.) constitute boundaries and limitations for implementation- and legislation processes. Thus, the paper highlights the importance of understanding how political, economical, technological and systems affect and influence actions and strategies underlying an implementation- and regulation process (i.e. law/r

During the past decade, production of products has increasingly been relocated to countries outside the western industrialised area, while consumption of the same products in the west has increased to a considerable extent. Implementation of national policies for limiting the environmental and health impacts of production has encountered a number of difficulties as a result. Policy instruments, no

Combinations of genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms by which these factors trigger diabetes is still limited. While genome-wide association studies have identified and characterized more than 60 genomic loci associated with T2D, recent methylome charts and reference regulatory maps obtained fr
