1. 1. Life after death : The diffusion of Swedish life insurance - Dynamics of financial and social modernization 1830-1950

   Författare :Liselotte Eriksson; Magnus Lindmark; Robin Pearson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic history; life insurance; married women s property rights; industrial life insurance; funeral cost; sales promotion; policyholder; Sweden; culture; financial system; women; ekonomisk historia; Economic History;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to understand the diffusion process of Swedish life insurance during the period c. 1830-1950, with the specific aim to understand financial modernization and social mobilization as reflected in the diffusion of life insurance to less well-to-do classes and women.

3. 2. Formalizing life : Towards an improved understanding of the sequence-structure relationship in alpha-helical transmembrane proteins

   Författare :Håkan Viklund; Arne Elofsson; Kimmen Sjölander; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; protein; topology; hidden Markov model; prediction; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : Genes coding for alpha-helical transmembrane proteins constitute roughly 25% of the total number of genes in a typical organism. As these proteins are vital parts of many biological processes, an improved understanding of them is important for achieving a better understanding of the mechanisms that constitute life. LÄS MER

4. 3. Speciation and Metabolic rate : Insights from an avian hybrid zone

   Författare :S. Eryn McFarlane; Anna Qvarnström; Jenny Boughman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resting metabolic rate; life history; hybridization; speciation; reproductive isolation; Ficedula flycatcher; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : The role of divergent climate adaptation in speciation has received surprisingly little scientific attention. My dissertation research focused on how resting metabolic rate (RMR) relates to the build up of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation in a natural Ficedula flycatcher hybrid zone. LÄS MER

5. 4. Communication of life cycle assessment results : life cycle key performance indicators

   Författare :Helena Nydahl; Thomas Olofsson; Anders P. Åstrand; Staffan Andersson; Åsa Wahlström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment; Monetary Valuation; Climate Impact; Life Cycle Key Performance Indicators; Global Warming Potential; LCA-result communication; Interpretation of LCA-results; climate change; klimatförändringar;

   Sammanfattning : The global warming that we are on track for will result in a severe loss of natural capital leading to significant losses in economic capital when urban infrastructure is destroyed, agricultural productivity declines and poverty spread among other disasters. Climate change due to emissions does not only affect the polluter, the hazardous effects becomes evident on a global level. LÄS MER

7. 5. System Expansion and Allocation in Life Cycle Assessment With Implications for Wastepaper Management

   Författare :Tomas Ekvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; modelling; paper recycling; waste incineration; environmental life cycle assessment; LCI methodology; allocation; waste management; system expansion; system boundaries; life cycle inventory analysis;

   Sammanfattning : The choice of system boundaries and allocation methods can have decisive effects on the results and conclusions of a life cycle assessment (LCA). System expansion makes it possible to model the indirect effects of a decision; however, this modelling is often based on inaccurate assumptions. LÄS MER
