Kulturskolepedagog Vad gjorde du innan du läste till kulturskolepedagog?Jag jobbade innan som naturvägledare och hade eget företag som illustratör. Jag har alltid varit konstnärligt lagd och använde ofta praktiskt skapande som verktyg i min undervisning inom natur. Exempelvis hade jag kurser i hur man tecknade träd och workshops i olika typer av slöjd.Vad jobbar du med idag?Idag arbetar jag 60 % s

Towards a Circular Economy with Environmental Product Policy Considering dynamics in closing and slowing material loops for lighting products Jessika Luth Richter Abstract A Circular Economy (CE) can help to achieve the sustainable development goal of responsible consumption and production. Product policies, in turn, can support CE objectives by promoting reuse of products, recycling of materials,

Pallets are the most common tertiary packaging solution with over 80% the world trade currently being carried out using pallets. The most widely used pallet type is the four-way wood pallet which accounts for 86% of the pallet production worldwide and the most common pallet size is the Euro Pallet. A department at Tetra Pak called Additional Materials (AddMat) is mainly using Euro Pallets, which h
I Sverige gäller som huvudregel att all vård ska vara frivillig och samhället är gentemot det allmänna skyddade från påtvingade kroppsliga ingrepp. Undan-tag finns dock som gör det möjligt för allvarligt psykiskt sjuka att bli tvingade till vård. Jag har som väktare upplevt hur en tillämpning av Lagen om psykia-trisk tvångsvård (1991:1128) sett ut på nära hand. Jag har genom denna erfa-renhet fåttIn Sweden, the main rule is that all healthcare should be voluntary, and indi-viduals are protected from forced physical interventions by society. However, exceptions exist that allow for the compulsory treatment of individuals with severe mental illness. As a security guard, I have experienced firsthand the application of the Act on Compulsory Psychiatric Care (Lagen om psykiatrisk tvångsvård (19
Popular Abstract in Swedish Två av de viktigaste polyaminerna påträffades redan i slutet av 1600-talet, som kristaller i tjursperma och har därför fått namnen spermin och spermidin. Dessa aminer bildas från en annan substans, putrescin, som först isolerades från ruttnande kött. Namnet putrescin kommer från engelskans putrefaction, som betyder förruttnelse. Polyaminer, som kemiskt sett är positivt The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are essential for cell growth and differentiation. The biosynthesis of polyamines are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms involving two enzymes, namely ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC). This thesis deals with the mechanisms behind the polyamine-mediated feedback control of these enzymes. The poly
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens fettceller innehåller en energidepå i form av s.k. triglycerider, en glycerolmolekyl med tre påkopplade fettsyror, som kan användas vid behov (fasta, arbete och dylikt). För att kroppens andra celler ska kunna använda fettdepåerna som energikälla, måste fettsyrorna frikopplas från glycerolmolekylen och skickas ut ur fettcellerna till blodet. Fettsyrorna transpoThe primary role of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), an 84 kDa enzyme of 768 amino acids (in the rat protein), is to hydrolyse stored triacylglycerols in adipocytes of white adipose tissue. Catecholamines and insulin regulate lipolysis through cellular signalling. A major target of this regulation is HSL, activated through phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK). Insulin activate
Summary: The Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) Consensus Meeting endorsed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), Asian Federation of Osteoporosis Societies (AFOS), and Asia Pacific Osteoporosis Foundation (APOF) was hosted by the Taiwanese Osteoporosis Association on October 14, 2017. International and domestic experts reviewed the 13 Best Practice Framework (BPF) standards and concluded
The study investigates how the Best Interests of the Child principle in the UN Children's Rights Convention (Article 3) has been adapted in custody disputes in Egypt, Sweden, and Uzbekistan. Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child offers a common normative benchmark, divergent legal cultures shape its domestic meaning: Egypt is governed by religious and state legal norms intersecting wi
Summer greetings from the Director Time flies. It seems like yesterday when nature was painted in shades of brown and grey and we were gradually recovering from the pandemic. Now nature shows its best face – lush and an amazing display of color. At the same time, it feels that we have taken a step back since most of us are affected by yet another new lock-down, but for a very different reason. The

Pentaklorfenol (PCP) är en klorerad aromatisk förening som användes flitigt för att behandla trä mot mikrobiell nedbrytning innan den blev förbjuden på 70-talet. På grund av dess höga löslighet förekommer PCP som en grundvattenförorening kring äldre sågverk. Hjortsberga i södra Sverige är ett exempel på denna typ av förorening och är det område som undersöks i arbetet. Förorenat grundvatten spridsPentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that was commonly used for treatment of wood against microbial degradation before it got banned in the 1970s. Due to its solubility in water, PCP is a common groundwater contaminant around old sawmills, for example near Hjortsberga in southern Sweden where this study was performed.. The contaminated groundwater is spreading and leaking int
This study compares the performance of different models used to assess the local wind near-surface conditions at an agricultural site in Scania, southern Sweden. The methods are: (a) the WASP model (Wind Analysis and Application Program), (b) separate linear regressions of the two wind vector components, (c) a regression model based on vector correlation, and (d) linear regression of scalar wind.
The effects of input data uncertainty on the critical loads and exceedance estimates for Swedish forest soils was assessed using Monte Carlo simulations of the PROFILE model. The study focuses on the effects of data uncertainty on the 5%-ile critical load at 150 × 150 km resolution and the 95%-ile exceedance at 150 × 150 km and 50 × 50 km resolution. The results indicate that data uncertainty limi
Popular Abstract in Swedish En växt är under hela sin livstid utsatt för angrepp från organismer som helt eller delvis försöker äta den. Allt växtmaterial äts faktiskt upp förr eller senare. När växten är död ser nedbrytare till att inget av det kol som växten under sin livstid tagit upp från luften går till spillo. En intressant ekologisk fråga är varför vår värld (i allmänhet) är grön när det fiThis thesis discusses aspects of feeding habits of moose (Alces alces) and their impact on forest development. The development of forage that is available to moose was studied by sampling the amount of edible biomass on pine and birch trees. A strong relationship was found between foliage (and twig) biomass and tree diameter, which corroborates the hypothesis that sapwood area limits the amount of

The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
De negativa effekter som korruption har på såväl enskilda nationer som det globala samhället i helhet är kända och väl dokumenterade. Ändå betalas uppskattningsvis tusen miljarder amerikanska dollar varje år i mutor över hela världen och både individer och organisationer erkänner att de begått korrupta handlingar. Intresset för att bekämpa korruption har ökat väsentligt under senare år, både på nThe negative effects that corruption has on both individual nations and the global society as a whole are known and well documented. Still, an estimated one trillion US dollars (US $1.000 billion) is paid each year in bribes worldwide and both individuals and organizations testify to engaging in corrupt behavior. The interest in fighting corruption has grown significantly in recent years, both i
