  2. 1. The Wealth of Urban Regions : On the Location of Creative Individuals and Firms

    Author : Charlotta Mellander; Charlie Karlsson; Börje Johansson; Maryann Feldman; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of four individual chapters and an introduction to the thesis. The common feature of the four separate chapters is their focus on the location patterns of creative individuals and firms, the inter-relation between those actors and the regional development and how those actors in the end shape the wealth of urban regions.

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Decision-making; new institutionalism; rational choice; sociological institutionalism; values; public administration; wildlife management; local parliaments; collaborative management; Political Science; Statsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis explores what logics drive the decisions of public decision-makers. More specifically, and drawing on new institutional theory, this topic is investigated from the perspective of how institutions, i.e. the formal and informal patterns of rules and practices, influence public decision-makers.

  5. 3. Geochemistry of tin, tungsten and molybdenum in Swedish Proterozoic granitoids : its potential use in regional mineral exploration

    Author : Karl-Magnus Drake; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Granitoid; lithogeochemistry; Sn; W; Mo; Li; geotectonic - chronologic subdivision; geochemical-statistical grouping; uni- and multivariate statistical analysis; computer programs; metallogenic element distributions; Sn-W-concentration patterns; ore-bearing potential; probability calculations; petrometallogenic element ratios; petrochemical trends; postmagmatic alterations; geochemical variability; normative composition; genesis; absolute age; bibliography; analysis databank; Proterozoic; Sweden; N5600 N6800 E2330 E1120;

    Abstract : The primary aim of this broad regional study is to statistically determine the Li-Sn-W-Mo-bearing potential of various granitoids using geochemical criteria.Computer-based, univariate and multivariate statistical methods are applied to major and trace element data from ca 660 granitic rock samples and over 800 major element analyses, selected from the Swedish geological literature.

  6. 4. The environmental pressures of foods : Application in climate taxation and sustainability assessment of diets

    Author : Emma Moberg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Reducing environmental impacts from the food system will require a shift towards environmentally sustainable eating patterns. To achieve changes in diets that reduce environmental burdens, a climate tax on food has been suggested. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biological diversity values in semi-natural grasslands : indicators, landscape context and restoration

    Author : Mathias Öster; Ove Eriksson; Martin Zobel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; connectivity; Hygrocybe; indicators; landscape history; plants; pollen limitation; species-area effects; surrogate species; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Semi-natural grasslands, which are a declining and fragmented habitat in Europe, contain a high biodiversity, and are therefore of interest to conservation. This thesis examines how plant diversity is influenced by the landscape context, and how plant and fungal diversity can be targeted by practical conservation using indicator species and congruence between species groups.
