Fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major component of soil organic matter, and identifying the factors that govern its formation is critical for understanding and predicting the global carbon cycle. Among these factors, the biochemical composition of mycelial residues at senescence, particularly melanin content, has been consistently identified as a key determinant of the fraction of
Susceptibility Weighted Imaging is an MRI- and post-processing technique that utilize the phase information from the MR signal to enhance the contrast in areas with different susceptibility than surrounding tissue in T2*-weighted images. This technique is becoming more and more important as a clinical tool. Susceptibility-weighted imaging has been commercialized by Siemens Healthcare under the acr
Den här uppsatsens syfte har varit att förstå hur studenters smartphone inkorporeras i deras vardag med fokus på fritid och studieliv. Vi har utfört djupintervjuer med fem studenter i åldrarna 21-26 för att förstå vilken roll smartphonen har i deras liv och hur den används. Tidigare forskning visar exempel på hur beroende en person kan bli av sin smartphone för att få ihop sitt vardagsliv. Den vis
Observationer visar på ständigt stigande temperaturer och modellerade data pekar på fortsatta temperaturökningar för framtiden. Förändringar i klimatet kommer påverka ekosystem och därmed de tjänster vi får ifrån dem. I Sverige är skogen ett av de viktigaste ekosystemen för oss människor. Skogen är av största vikt för Sveriges ekonomi. I dagsläget förekommer flera olika skador på svensk skog årligClimate observations are showing that air temperatures are constantly increasing, and modelled data indicates that temperatures will continue rising in the future. Changes in the climate will affect ecosystems and consequentially, the ecosystem services we depend upon. In Sweden, forests are among the most important ecosystems for humans. The forest is a major part of the Swedish economy. Currentl
The study of the migratory trajectories of high skilled migrants has been a topic of enquiry for decades; nevertheless, in practice, these have not been studied in-depth. Therefore, acknowledging this research gap, this thesis aims to explore the experiences of non-EU high skilled migrants when integrating into the labour market in the context of Sweden. This is of particular relevance given that
The centenarian Tröger’s base (TB) was envisaged as scaffold for the construction of tubular-shaped cleft molecules due to its the remarkable structural properties. This endeavor started with the synthesis of the three possible diastereomers of a linear symmetrically fused tris-TB analogue, the anti-anti, the syn-syn, and the syn-anti. All three diastereomers showed unprecedented stability to acid
How can music education be enriched by the concept of time? This article is based on the assumption that the present moment, the musical ‘now’, is of the utmost importance not only to the musical performer or listener but to the musical learner and teacher as well. It aims at a philosophical discussion and conceptual clarification of a number of issues of time that are considered to be crucial to How can music education be enriched by the concept of time?

The prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Frequent episodes of elevated postprandial blood glucose have been associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and the importance of a tight glycaemic control has been identified as an important factor to maintain health and prevent T2DM, obesity and cardiovascuThe prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world.

Hong and Kao (2004) proposed a class of general applicable wavelet-based tests for serial correlation of unknown form in the residuals from a panel regression model. The tests can be applied to both static and dynamic panel models. Their test, however, is computationally difficult to implement, and simulation studies show that the test has poor small-sample properties. In this paper, we extend Gen
The German bread market is considered one of the most developed and diverse bread markets worldwide. However, until so far no empirical evidence exists with respect to consumers liking and willingness to pay for different value-added attributes in whole grain bread. Thus, our study is the first one providing empirical evidence on how German consumers perceive different value-added attributes in wh
The current state of the water and sanitation sector has put water-related innovations high on the global policy agenda. However, the systemic complexity that typically surrounds such contexts call for actionable knowledge of how to enable and orchestrate innovative solutions by connecting different players via organized networks. In this study we explore and analyse the Water Innovation Accelerat
Treatments of emissions of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) were implemented in the global Earth System model EC-Earth. These emission schemes were improved to account for the strong peaks of PBAP concentrations in connection to precipitation events, which has been measured recently. The model is now able to treat the emission of bacteria, spores and pollen in dependency of precipitatio
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har nu gått 20 år sedan ett utbrott av ledinflammation (arthrit), i Connecticut, USA, satte forskarna på spåret till den sjukdomsbild som vi idag kallar fästingöverförd borreliainfektion och det är snart 15 år sedan man lyckades isolera bakterien som orsakar sjukdomen, Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptomen på sjukdomen har visserligen varit kända sedan sekelskiftet men heEpidemiological and clinical characteristics of Lyme borreliosis (LB) in Sweden are described through a one year surveillance-study. The findings differed only marginally when compared to studies from the United States indicating similar clinical presentation of the disease. Incidence was 69/100.000/year with large variation between counties (26-160/100.000/year) and concentration of the disease t
The Arctic is exposed to even faster temperature changes than most other areas on Earth. Constantly increasing temperature will lead to thawing permafrost and changes in the methane (CH4) emissions from wetlands. One of the places exposed to those changes is the Abisko-Stordalen Mire in northern Sweden, where climate and vegetation studies have been conducted since the 1970s. In our study, we anal
