    Nyckelord :Cultural anthropology; labor ethic; reindeer herding; ethnic obshchina; postsocialism; sovkhoism; Kola Peninsula; Russian Sami; Kulturantropologi; kulturantropologi; Cultural Anthropology;

    Sammanfattning : This book explores the main ethical norms that influence labor in reindeer herding in the European part of the Russian North (Murmansk Region). It is based on the assumption that Soviet ideological discourse of labor has been reinterpreted in practice, and has shaped specific patterns of work that may seem contradictory to their official source.

  3. 17. Protecting forests through partnerships

    Författare :Ulrika Widman; Camilla Sandström; Eeva Primmer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; forests; formal protection; forest owners; public-private partnerships; Nature Conservation Agreements; the Komet program; forest governance; Sweden; statskunskap; political science;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the potential of private-public partnerships (PPPs) to involve private forest owners in formal forest protection. These partnerships have been widely advocated as means to engage actors from diverse sectors in collaborative new relationships, formed in a step-wise manner, to improve management of resources that combine public and private goods.

  4. 18. Predicting oral performance of lipid-based formulations using in vitro methods

    Författare :Oliver Hedge; Christel Bergström; Frédéric Carriere; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lipid-based formulation s ; SEDDS; artificial membrane s ; cell monolayer s ; oral drug delivery; lipolysis; permeation; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Oral administration of drugs is widely considered preferable to other methods by end-users and healthcare providers alike; however, not all drug compounds are inherently suited for it because some molecules are not well-absorbed by the intestine. Good absorption requires both dissolution and permeation. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Opportunities and barriers for how private governance cancontribute towards sustainable fisheries : -A case study of Fishery Improvement Projects

    Författare :Sofia Käll; Beatrice Crona; Tim Daw; Tracy Van Holt; Louisa Evans; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental governance approaches increasingly include non-state actors such as industry and NGOs to promote and implement voluntary private sustainability standards. This type of private governance is particularly evident within the fisheries sector. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Long-lasting ecological legacies of reindeer on tundra vegetation

    Författare :Dagmar D. Egelkraut; Johan Olofsson; Bruce Forbes; Hans Tømmervik; René van der Wal; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alternative stable state; Herbivory; Historical contingency; Nutrient cycling; Plant-herbivore interactions; Plant-soil feedbacks; Rangifer tarandus; Reindeer herding; Traditional land use; Tundra vegetation;

    Sammanfattning : Reindeer can have strong effects on the plant species composition and functioning of tundra ecosystems, and often promote a transition towards a graminoid-dominated vegetation type. As a result, they influence many ecological processes, such as nutrient dynamics, soil biotic composition and functioning, and carbon storage. LÄS MER
