Variations in total heart volume (atria plus ventricles) during a cardiac cycle affect efficiency of cardiac pumping. The goals of this study were to confirm the presence, extent, and contributors of total heart volume variation during the cardiac cycle in healthy volunteers with the use of MRI. Eight healthy volunteers were examined by MRI at rest. Changes in total cardiac volume throughout the c
In this paper, which was prepared as part of IEA Bioenergy Task XV (“Greenhouse Gas Balances of Bioenergy Systems”), we outline a standard methodology for comparing the greenhouse gas balances of bioenergy systems with those of fossil energy systems. Emphasis is on a careful definition of system boundaries. The following issues are dealt with in detail: time interval analysed and changes of carbon

The digital age is witnessing an emergence of data practices, which pertain to the extraction and commodification of data within global capitalism. While there remains conceptual confusion over this phenomenon, critical studies have began to identify emerging issues related to digital development. Few accounts have attempted to frame the wide societal transformation in a holistic manner. This rese
While environmental change calls for reducing carbon emissions from deforestation, evidence shows that land owned by Indigenous Peoples have much lower rates of deforestation. The federal government in Brazil, however, is taking measures to increase economic benefits of indigenous lands in the Amazon, which could result in weakened IPs’ land rights. In this thesis I analysed Brazil’s president’s s
The aim of this thesis was to explore the effects of climate change and the resilience efforts in Greenland by utilizing the resilient framework as suggested by Becker (2014). There was a focus at the official governmental level. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with informants from different departments within the Greenland Government. Government documents were also analyzed. The resul
Traditional bottom-up implementation theory has focused primarily on local-level processes, but this perspective may not fully empower all relevant actors. Regarding the combat of the climate crisis, the implementation process must account for those who are directly affected by the policy's outcomes. Implementation theory could be re-examined through a feminist theoretical lens in order to bet
Following the Bosman verdict from the ECJ in 1995, FIFA, the governing body of football, had to change its rules for the status and transfer of players to bring them in line with EC law. With the threat of an outright prohibition decision against the international transfer system under the EC Competition rules, FIFA reached an agreement with the Commission, in March 2001, on the principles for the

This Bachelor’s thesis follows aspects of environmental degradation stemming from the policies of the Chinese Communist Party over the latter half of the 20th century. These start with The Great Leap Forward in ’58 in which people were exhorted to convert as much land to agriculture as possible, construct dams and implement agricultural techniques that in the long-term proved unsustainable and des
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore whether and how external, political, financial and governance factors influence capital expenditure deviations in the Swedish municipal water and sewerage sector and to capture the consequences of municipal organisational fragmentation. Design/methodology/approach: Panel data analysis of 238 municipalities and 1,190 observations of capital expenditure d
AbstractDead standing trees (DSTs) generally decompose slower than wood in contact with the forest floor. In many regions, DSTs are being created at an increasing rate due to accelerating tree mortality caused by climate change. Therefore, factors determining DST fall are crucial for predicting dead wood turnover time but remain poorly constrained. Here, we conduct a re-analysis of published DST f
Construction of historical national accounts has a long history in Sweden. It started in the interwar period and later a number of improvements and extensions backward and forward in time have been made. Thus, now there are series from 1300 onwards. Of course, due to limitations of the source material, the estimates are more and more uncertain the further back in time they refer to. In this pap
In 2018, the International Organization for Migration stated that ‘migration has nearly become synonymous with urbanization, given the dominance of the city as the destination of most migrants’. The geopolitical dimension of migration governance is especially important in Mediterranean cities where the European Union’s (EU) efforts to push border management onto external actors has occurred alongs
The construction sector is of great importance to the Swedish economy, but its impact on the climate is significant and the sector accounts for about 40% of Sweden's total energy consumption. The sector also generates a significant share of the total material flows and waste quantities in the society. Thus, due to the large impact of the construction sector, there are great opportunities to contri
In the wake of 9/11, the Council of the European Union created the so-called ‘CP931’counter-terrorism listing and sanctioning regime. Shortcomings of this regime have been subject to scholarly debates, focused on its lack of respect for human rights and its absent efficiency. However, not yet have these discussions taken into account the meaning of the regime’s relation to national listing policie
This article revises the intellectual history of slavery in eighteenth-century Denmark. Against the view that there was little discussion of slavery in Denmark before the reception of British abolitionist ideas towards the end of the century, it shows that the teaching of natural law provided a consistent, significant, and overlooked forum for discussing the question of slavery. Engaging with a si
