It would appear that all possible types of source material concerning pre-colonial and colonial Indian history had been found and analyzed only to be reanalyzed repeatedly, resulting in a number of macro-level studies. However, micro-level studies have been very rare. This may be so because many a historian of India believed that sources necessary for such studies did not exist as there was no tra

and international research projects have attempted to measure andquantify the importance of ecosystem goods and services for people.Nowadays, it is safe to claim that ecosystems, through their naturalprocesses and functions, provide services that are essential for humanwell-being. However, in industrialized societies people often forgethow intricately our daily lives depend on natural ecosystems a

Morphometric multivariate analysis has been performed based on 23 characters observed on 113 herbariumspecimens from throughout Fennoscandia. This demonstrates that four taxa can be recognised withinErigeron acris L. sensu lato, viz. E. acris L. subsp. acris, E. acris subsp. decoloratus (H. Lindb.) Hiitonen,E. acris subsp. droebachiensis (O. F. Müll.) Arcang. and E. acris subsp. politus (Fr.) H. L

Executive functions (EF) denote the host of top-down mental processes that mediate self-regulation to achieve a goal. Among other things, EF support cognitive flexibility by allowing inhibition of automatic responses in favour of obtaining future goals. Corvids, the bird group that is comprised of ravens, crows and jays, are distinguished by their cognitive flexibility. This thesis investigates tw

Karlfeldtforskningen beskrivs, och vilka nya vägar kan den gå. Två föreslås: dels forskning om Karlfeldts positioner i den litterära offentligheten, dels forskning om Karlfeldts egendomliga bildspråk (Jean Paul, C F Dahlgren ) som är en del av en svensk tradition (Tegner, Tranströmer)

The aim of this article is to develop an understanding of what happens when Instagram photography is used for branding a place. Questions raised are which photographs are taken and published, does the practice result in novel ways of representing a place, and, in turn the image of a place. A practice approach to photography is used where focus is directed to the performative aspect of photography.

Den här avhandlingen handlar om luftburna designade nanopartiklar och hur mantar reda på vilka egenskaper de har. Luftburna partiklar eller aerosoler är något sommänniskan alltid har haft omkring sig. Oavsett om det varit i form av pollen, rök fråneldstaden, eller från astmainhalatorn så har de alltid varit där och påverkat oss. I varjeandetag drar vi in flera tusen partiklar, men vilken typ de ärThis thesis will explore parts of the life of engineered nanoparticles, from generation in research environments andprocess monitoring, to emissions in an industrial setting. The aim is to give insights into how the particles can becharacterized in different settings and how different characterization methods can be applied depending on need ordemand.Airborne nanoparticles have been around forever
