Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A survey of four co-design tools for joint analysis, simulation, and design of computer-based control systems developed within the Swedish ARTES programme is presented. The tools allow simultaneous treatment of the control aspects and the computing and communication aspects of the control problems. The tools are Jitterbug and TrueTime developed at the Department of Automatic Control LTH, Lund University, and Aida and Xilo developed at the Division of Mechatronics, Department of Machine Elements, KTH.

Insulin, Glucose, and the Metabolic Syndrome in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine
- 2022
-

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- It has been known for decades that risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) tend to cluster. Metabolic syndrome refers to this risk factor clustering for some of the more well-established and dangerous risk factors. This chapter provides a historical overview on the concept of the metabolic syndrome; describes the clinical criteria used in the definition of the metabolic syndrome and how to measure components of the metabolic syndrome, emphasizing measurements related to insulin and glucose; provides a brief overview of the genetic, endocrine, and early life determinants of the metabolic syndrome; and presents findings from studies that have focused on psychological correlates, determinants, and consequences of the metabolic syndrome, focusing in particular on psychosocial stress and depression.

Beyond dispersal : the roles of animal movement in modern agricultural landscapes
- 2014
-
In: Animal Movement Across Scales. - : Oxford University Press. - 9780199677184 ; , s. 51-70
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter three major concepts relating animal population dynamics to landscape change mediated by animal mobility are outlined: meta-population/community dynamics (affecting many habitat specialists), spillover (affecting e.g. ground-living predators), and landscape complementation (affecting e.g. central-place foragers). It is shown that all three concepts contribute to current understanding of animal population dynamics in production landscapes, and that animals differ fundamentally in the extent to which the concepts are applicable. Therefore, it is argued that general recipes such as ‘reduce fragmentation’, ‘increase connectivity’, or ‘increase ecological heterogeneity’ may not provide a universal solution for conserving animals in contemporary agricultural landscapes. In addition, although animal movement studies have contributed to the understanding of biodiversity conservation in farmland, current knowledge about animal mobility is still limited. Thus research based on emerging methods such as landscape genetics or novel methods of tracking small animals is essential for increasing basic understanding of animal mobility.
