State formation in Europe and, more precisely, the nature and development of the early modern type of state, is the focus of this book. The study of state formation has, in recent years, been heavily influenced by the works of Charles Tilly and his followers, who stress international military competition as the driving force in the development of the European states and state system, creating stro
Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de stora vetenskapliga bedrifterna hittills under 2000-talet är onekligen att man efter många års arbete för första gången lyckades kartlägga (sekvensera) samtliga mänskliga gener. Det mänskliga DNA:t är lokaliserat till cellkärnan och i princip så kan man likna en cellkärna med ett kontrollrum fyllt av manualer (DNA) som talar om cellens sammansättning och hur deProteomics is expected to generate new insights into biological processes as well as identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets since most biological functions are transmitted through proteins. However, due to the complexity displayed by a proteome and inherent limitations associated with current methodologies, proteomic analyses often result in incomplete coverage and inconsistent measurem
In the domain of current spatial semiotics two important, but also radically different, approaches can be distinguished as modelling the co-operative agency of human, material and legal properties of space, namely that of Manar Hammad’s and that of Bruno Latour’s. Hammad, being a semiotician, more true to the Greimasian heritage, regards a finite set of principal actantial types (owners, visitors,
Background: Subjective Well-Being (SWB) is usually conceptualized in terms of an affective (i.e., judgements of biological emotional reactions and experiences) and a cognitive component (i.e., judgements of life satisfaction in relation to a psychological self-imposed ideal). Recently, researchers have suggested that judgements of harmony in life can replace or at least complement the cognitive co
In this thesis, we investigate and develop new methods for efficient and functional use of resources in edge networks. Setting this work aside from previous work, we study User Generated Content (UGC) such as social media information and data generated in the new emerging Internet of Things systems. We present efficient solutions for placing such content and managing which network resources should
The tumor microenvironment consists of several interacting cell types. Cancer research focssed mainly on the malignant cell in the past. The importance of the tumor microenvironment is increasingly appreciated, as endothelial cells and immune cells were identified as targets for anti-tumor therapy. Targeted therapy against cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are not in clinical use for the treatm
Historically, aerosols of anthropogenic origin have offset some of the warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The strength of this negative aerosol forcing, however, is highly uncertain-especially the part originating from cloud-aerosol interactions. An important part of this uncertainty originates from our lack of knowledge about pre-industrial aerosols and how many of
Dying in older persons precedes often by a prolonged period of frailty and multimorbidity. The global increase in the aged population means more death at an older age and highlights the need to integrate palliative care in elderly care. Knowledge-based palliative care is lacking outside the specialist units, for which reason there is insufficient access to palliative care for older persons. Thus t
Northern forest ecosystems make up an important part of the global carbon cycle. Hence, monitoring local-scale gross primary production (GPP) of northern forest is essential for understanding climatic change impacts on terrestrial carbon sequestration and for assessing and planning management practices. Here we evaluate and compare four methods for estimating GPP using Sentinel-2 data in order to
Det finns runt 100 000 blinda och kraftigt synnedsatta individer (BKSI:er) i Sverige. Sådan synnedsättning leder till en kraftigt minskad förmåga för självständig förflyttning och lägre livskvalité, med ökad risk för arbetslöshet, trafikolyckor, en stillasittande livsstil och depression. Hälften av alla käpp- och hundanvändare är med om en huvudkollision årligen, och drygt var tredje för en fallolReduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the m
Land-use and land-cover (LUC) changes are a key uncertainty when attributing changes in measured atmospheric CO2 concentration to its sinks and sources and must also be much better understood to determine the possibilities for land-based climate change mitigation, especially in the light of human demand on other land-based resources. On the spatial scale typically used in terrestrial ecosystem mod
The aim of this Master's thesis is to discuss and analyse co-operation between public and academic libraries. The political changes that were initiated during 2004 have come to alter the conditions for Swedish libraries. The Swedish library law was changed at the 1st of January 2005 and co-operation between libraries is now statuary even if there is no description of how the new mission is to
I simulate the collision of satellite galaxies with the Milky Way and observe the effects that this has on the orbits of the globular cluster populations within both the Milky Way and the satellite galaxies. This is done in order to investigate whether some of the Milky Way's globular clusters could have been donated from satellite galaxies which have been tidally stripped, since it is believe
Sydvatten är ett företag som ägs av 16 kommuner i Skåne och producerar dricksvatten till dessa. En av sydvattens vattentäkter är Vombsjön. Sydväst om Vombsjön ligger Vombverket där beredning från sjövatten till dricksvatten sker. De första stegen av beredningen sker genom att vatten från sjön pumpas in till Vombverkets infiltrationsdammar och därifrån infiltrerar ned genom den omättade zonen till Sydvatten is a company part-owned by 16 different municipalities in Skåne, south of Sweden. Sydvatten produces drinking water to these municipalities and the Vombsjö lake is one of Sydvatten´s water catchments. Southwest from the lake the water treatment installation Vombverket is found. At Vombverket the water from the lake Vombsjön is processed to drinking water. The water from the lake goes thr

Behandlingen av personuppgifter har i takt med den tekniska utvecklingen intensifierats. Personlig information samlas in i stor omfattning av kommersiella aktörer, inte sällan med syftet att kartlägga individers digitala beteenden. Hanteringen av personuppgifter är emellertid förenad med risken för att individens integritetsskydd åsidosätts och för att unionsmedborgarna ska tillförsäkras ett perso
Stockholms stad äger stor del av marken i Stockholms kommun. När byggherrar vill bygga bostäder tecknar Stockholms stad och byggherrarna ett markanvisningsavtal. Vid tecknade av markanvisningsavtalet bestäms priset för marken men förvärvet genomförs först när fastigheten tillträds. Tillträdet sker vanligtvis efter två till tre år, då detaljplaneprocessen är klar, men ibland tar det längre tid. StoStockholm stad owns a large part of the land in Stockholm. When developers wants to build houses, Stockholm stad and the developer sign a land allocation agreement. When the land allocation agreement is signed, the price is determined for the land, but the purchase will take place when the developer gets access to the land. Access usually occurs after two to three years, when the detailed developm
För närvarande har 78 stater signerat OECD:s multilaterala konvention för att implementera BEPS-åtgärder (MLI). Syftet med konventionen är att snabbt implementera skatteavtalsrelaterade BEPS-åtgärder i skatteavtal utan att bilateralt behöva omförhandla dessa. Konventionsparterna kan själva välja vilka skatteavtal de vill ska omfattas av MLI och ges stora möjligheter att reservera sig mot bestämmelTo this day, 78 states have signed the OECD Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI). The purpose of the convention is to swiftly implement tax treaty related BEPS measures without having to bilaterally implement those changes in every tax treaty. The parties of the convention are free to choose which of their tax treaties t
Electrification of energy demand is seen as one of the key elements of energy transition toward decarbonisation. E-mobility is one main side of the electrification process, and it is considered as a crucial way to reduce the emissions of the transport sector. A core element for a widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is the deployment of the charging infrastructure, and installing a micro
The concept of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach to flood risk mitigation and urban landscape planning. Many European cities are considering integrating SuDS features to their stormwater management practices. More frequent weather events and water quality issues have emerged among the main drivers to advance the discussion on innovative way
