Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has exhibited significant potential for quantifying cardiac function and dysfunction in the mouse. Recent advances in highresolution cardiac MR imaging techniques have contributed to the development of acquisition approaches that allow fast and accurate description of anatomic structures, and accurate surface and finite element (FE) mesh model constructions for stu

With increasing mobility of people across the world, there is a pressing need to develop evidence-based teaching practices that lead to high-quality education, which serves the needs of inclusive societies and social and epistemic justice. This book presents cutting-edge qualitative case-study research across a range of educational contexts, research-method contributions and theory-oriented chapte

The human-driven loss of biodiversity has numerous ecological, social, and economic impacts at the local and global levels, threatening important ecological functions and jeopardizing human well-being. In this perspective, we present an overview of how tropical defaunation—defined as the disappearance of fauna as a result of anthropogenic drivers such as hunting and habitat alteration in tropical

New industries emerge in increasingly complex spatial patterns that challenge existing explanations of industrial path creation. In particular, the case of latecomer regions building up industries in fields that are unrelated to their previous industrial capabilities is not well understood in the literature. This paper aims to address this gap by expanding on an analytical framework that draws on

Integrated sediment multiproxy studies and modeling were used to reconstruct past changes in the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Results of natural changes over the past 6000 years in the Baltic Sea ecosystem suggest that forecasted climate warming might enhance environmental problems of the Baltic Sea. Integrated modeling and sediment proxy studies reveal increased sea surface temperatures and expanded sea

Today, humanitarian agencies are facing an unprecedented financing crisis. The humanitarian community has to come up with a solution to confront the disparity between the ever-increasing global humanitarian appeals emitted due to the shift in nature of emergencies and the lack of donations necessary to meet the formers. Emergency preparedness represents a solution to this crisis since it has the p

Dagens samhälle står inför en stor klimatutmaning vilket ställer höga krav på alla branscher, inte minst bygg- och fastighetsbranschen. Byggnader och lokaler står idag för en tredjedel av Sveriges energianvändningen där 60 % går till uppvärmning. För att minska utsläppen från bostäder och lokaler har stort fokus lagts på byggnaders energianvändning under dess driftsfas. I takt med att byggnader blThe society is today facing a major climate challenge, which places high demands on all industries, not least the construction and real estate industry. Buildings are today accounting for one third of Sweden's energy use, of which 60 % is used for heating. In order to reduce emissions from buildings, great focus has been placed on the energy use of buildings during its operating phase. As buil

Background. The pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) still remains elusive. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether it is the change in intracranial pressure (ICP) or the extravasated blood that is responsible for cerebral ischemia and cerebral vasoconstriction observed following SAH. Method. Three groups of animals were studied; (1) cisternal injec

Water-soluble chlorophyll-binding proteins (WSCPs) are interesting model systems for the study of pigment-pigment and pigment-protein interactions. While class IIa WSCP has been extensively studied by spectroscopic and theoretical methods, a comprehensive spectroscopic study of class IIb WSCP was lacking so far despite the fact that its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. In this pa

In low- and lower middle income countries, female education is known to be one of the crucial elements for generating economic growth. However, a weakness in the established literature is the tendency to focus on either gender equality or human capital accumulation through female education as the driving force behind growth. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to existing research in the area by

When speaking in terms of institutional fragmentation in global environmental governance one might rather immediately notice that a certain degree of said fragmentation probably is a perennial characteristic in this context and, arguably, preferable. However, the degree varies rather widely in time, space and issue areas. Fisheries being an example of a relatively high degree of fragmentation, sin

There has recently been an increased interest among academic scholars on the importance of elections as a promoter for democratic change in semi-democratic contexts. This thesis positions itself somewhat on the side of this debate asking; when do elections in electoral authoritarian regimes result in democratic consequences? Recognising that elections can be as well a tool for democratic empo

The agricultural sector world wide has undergone a drastic change through the integration of the local markets to the global ones with the advent of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the main propagator of international trade. The third world in general has stood to suffer with this emergence of neo-liberal market fundamentalism, the consequence of which has been a major crisis in the farm secto

Background: Mapping social and geographical disparities in health outcomes helps to identify vulnerable groups that should be targeted for intervention. This study aims to assess the disparities in cardiometabolic multimorbidity, the presence of at least two cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, among middle-aged adults across socio-geographical inte
