The Social City : Middle-way approaches to housing and sub-urban golvernmentality in southern Stockholm, 1900-1945
- 2001
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation deals with the period bridging the era of extreme housing shortages in Stockholm on the eve of industrialisation and the much admired programmes of housing provision that followed after the second world war, when Stockholm district Vällingby became an example for underground railway-serviced ”new towns”. It is argued that important changes were made in the housing and town planning policy in Stockholm in this period that paved the way for the successful ensuing period. Foremost among these changes was the uniquely developed practice of municipal leaseholding with the help of site leasehold rights (Erbbaurecht).The study is informed by recent developments in Foucauldian social research, which go under the heading ’governmentality’. Developments within urban planning are understood as different solutions to the problem of urban order. To a large extent, urban and housing policies changed during the period from direct interventions into the lives of inhabitants connected to a liberal understanding of housing provision, to the building of a disciplinary city, and the conduct of ’governmental’ power, building on increased activity on behalf of the local state to provide housing and the integration and co-operation of large collectives. Municipal leaseholding was a fundamental means for the implementation of this policy.When the new policies were introduced, they were limited to the outer parts of the city and administered by special administrative bodies. This administrative and spatial separation was largely upheld throughout the period, and represented as the parallel building of a ’social’ outer city, while things in the inner ’mercantile’ city proceeded more or less as before. This separation was founded in a radical difference in land holding policy: while sites in the inner city were privatised and sold at market values, land in the outer city was mostly leasehold land, distributed according to administrative – and thus politically decided – priorities.These differences were also understood and acknowledged by the inhabitants. Thorough studies of the local press and the organisational life of the southern parts of the outer city reveals that the local identity was tightly connected with the representations connected to the different land holding systems. Inhabitants in the south-western parts of the city, which in this period was still largely built on private sites, displayed a spatial understanding built on the contradictions between centre and periphery. The inhabitants living on leaseholding sites, however, showed a clear understanding of their position as members of model communities, tightly connected to the policy of the municipal administration. The organisations on leaseholding sites also displayed a deep co-operation with the administration. As the analyses of election results show, the inhabitants also seemed to have felt a greater degree of integration with the society at large, than people living in other parts of the city. The leaseholding system in Stockholm has persisted until today and has been one of the strongest in the world, although the local neo-liberal politicians are currently disposing it off.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical models of how local biodiversity responds to these measures. We describe and make freely available this 2016 release of the database, containing more than 3.2 million records sampled at over 26,000 locations and representing over 47,000 species. We outline how the database can help in answering a range of questions in ecology and conservation biology. To our knowledge, this is the largest and most geographically and taxonomically representative database of spatial comparisons of biodiversity that has been collated to date; it will be useful to researchers and international efforts wishing to model and understand the global status of biodiversity.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The background to this study is that there is no studies on youth and their transition to adulthood in preindustrial Sweden. The main objective of this thesis has therefore been to analyze young peoples transition to adulthood during the late 18th and 19th centuries in a region of the northern part of Sweden. The social context of the region was mainly agrarian during the investigated period despite the fact that in the later part of the 19th and beginning of 20th century, a development of a growing forest industry had started. The main questions is: How and when in life did different social categories of young people establish an independent and adult life? Where there any changes in transitional patterns and was the establishment smoother or more troublesome at different times during the investigated period ? Where there any changes regarding social norms related to the establishment of adult life?The transition to adult life is studied from a life-course approach and four key-transitions; The First Holy communion, leaving home, marriage and parenthood are regarded as significant steps within the process to a independent social position. Individual data related to keytransitions is mainly collected from cathectical examination records and comprised 2206 individuals born in six different cohorts between 1770 and 1900. The selected cohorts represents individuals that had to deal with different social conditions during their youth and transition to adult life.The main results regarding the transition to adult life can be summarized in two words, complexity and variance. Usually it was a "long" transition but the number of accomplished keytransitions and the order between them varied, as well as ages when taking the first Holy Communion, leaving home, marriage and entering parenthood varied. Transitional patterns varied between different categories of youth. A dividing line existed between the sexes, those from households strongly rooted in the agricultural structure and those with background in social categories that didn't own or was in possession of land. Social norms related to keytransitons changed along this dividing line during the investigated period of time, and became less permissive within landowning or land-possessing categories and less prescriptive in other categories.Transitional patterns were also influenced by the social situation at different historical times. The need for labor, war and years of famine directly intervened in timing and sequencing of keytransitions. A long term development was that the transition to adult life became more problematic in the later part of the 19th century, especially among young people who were less integrated in the social context and among socially stigmatized youth. Finally, young people were active and reflexive in seeking social space to make the transition to adult life, actions that sometimes caused tensions and conflicts between generations.

Bra läge men dåligt rykte : En jämförande historisk studie av tre stadsdelar i Borås, Eskilstuna och Gävle
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Centrally located problem areas of today, with suburban-like modernist architecture, are an anomaly in Sweden. The purpose of the present study is to investigate this Swedish anomaly by comparing three such city sections – Norrby in Borås, Nyfors in Eskilstuna and Öster in Gävle – and to try to answer the question: what type of case is this? To answer this question, a theoretical perspective distinguishing habitation, population and images is developed using concepts from Bourdieu, Elias and Scotson, Goffman, Lefebvre and Østerberg. Methodologically, this is a detailed comparative case study of the history of these three city sections in three or four phases, from before to after their thorough urban renewal in the 1960s. Once, these habitations developed in concert with their city into a working-class area, just beside the city centre, but beyond the railway station. After WWII, they became subjects of renewal, thus afflicted by a slum process that preceded demolition. The new habitation was planned for housing a working-class population. Suburban-like in shape, it was nevertheless part of an inner-city renewal. The new habitation became a target for critique already during the renewal process, a critique that was cast in the same terms as the critique of the suburbs of the time: Images of poor and troublesome outdoor milieus, social problems of different kinds, empty apartments, high turn over, immigrants and refugees were produced, in the media but also by the inhabitants and their organizations, giving the city section a bad reputation. This was to last until the present. Yet with new investment in attractive housing in adjacent brown field areas, these areas have once again become the subject of renewal. Consequently, these areas can be identified as a case of a good location with a bad reputation, emerging from the inner-city renewal of a former working-class habitation.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Body and Power in MotionThis dissertation is concerned with body and politics, or, more specifi cally body, power and governance. The central question is how specifi c individuals and bodies are constituted in the teaching of Physical Education (PE) in school. Inspired by Foucault’s work and the research fi eld that emanates from the concept of governmentality, one of the ambitions is to develop a method that facilitates the study of power and governance processes in teachers’ and students’ interactive actions and dealings. With the aid of this approach, 15 video-recorded physical education lessons in 5 Swedish nine-year compulsory schools are analysed in order to demonstrate how governance processes are included in the work and activities in terms of how the processes of governance–self-governance are staged, and the direction this takes. In using the term direction I am here referring to the content the governance is aiming towards, where the question of which subjects and bodies are constituted is of substantial interest. This means that the study not only focuses on what is done, but also on the way in which it is done, i.e. it analyses both process and content.The results show that physical exertion and the desire for physical work is a thread that runs though the analysed material. It is mainly scientifi c knowledge about the body that is referred to in actual teaching practice. This is displayed through the use of a scientifi cally inspired language when talking about the body, where effects on muscles and degrees of oxygen intake are considered in connection with the physical activities. In connection with physical exertion, pupils are encouraged to do their best, try the activities on offer, cooperate with others and face challenges. In line with the governmentality perspective’s problematisation of the process governance–self-governance, the study highlights a governance mentality that is not characterised by coercion, but is rather directed towards different components of willingness where the students are expected to be participatory, take responsibility and govern their own actions in the direction of that which is most desirable and reasonable. The willingness component appears as the actual hub of character-building, were the students ought to be physically active, should want to do their best, be willing to try, should want to show solidarity and should want to defeat the others. The process of governance–self-governance is staged as different ways of appealing to one’s willingness in the activities studied. Specifi c governance techniques are used to support and promote self-governance work, i.e. different forms of encouragement strengthen the correct action, emphasising physical exertion as pleasurable and focuses on the fact that we are all involved in a common project. In the dissertation it is shown how the body is included in a socio-political context. Through the body the individual is turned into a participant of physical projects concerned with becoming a certain kind of social citizen. The body thus symbolises the complex encounter between the individual and society. In this way the study demonstrates and highlights tendencies that are evident in modern society. It is thus a narrative that indicates how we all become part of a discourse system.

- A reliable, repeatable and fast measurement procedure for a complete Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system is presented. Application level throughput is presented as a performance metric to reflect the actual throughput delivered to the end user by a WLAN system. The employed technique involves the use of two reverberation chambers to cope with the real world scenario of low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) proximity and to effectively control the rank of a communication channel.

Hundra år av tvåsamhet : Äktenskapet i svenska statliga utredningar 1909-2009
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the thesis is to study the concept of marriage and discursive constructions linked to marriage in Swedish policy documents, SOU, 1909-2009. Focusing on marriage as a formal institution, and on form, rather than content – marriage is considered one of several ways of regulating intimate relationships, and the analysis is thus centred on the intimate and erotic aspects of marriage as an institution. Using queer and sociological theories on late modern intimacy, state regulation and concepts of norms, theoretical tools which make possible exploring historical discursive shifts of heteronormativity and coupledom are developed. Policy documents (SOU) are analysed using discourse analysis inspired by archaeology and history of concepts. In three chapters, each covering a part of the period 1909-2009, the discursive landscape of state intervention in marital and other coupled relations is traced. Three themes emerge in this analysis. Firstly, a discursive movement can be seen, from marriage, as a morally superior form of relation, to family, as one of several more or less encouraged forms of relations. Secondly, in using the theoretical framework of heteronormativity, it is suggested that heteronormativity is reshaped in paradoxical ways. The seemingly non-heteronormative, gender neutral marriage law introduced in 2009 was built discursively on a concept of love used from the 1980s in these materials for motivating extended civil rights for homosexuals. It was, however, a logic of love based on difference and essentialised homosexual identity. A non-heteronormative law was thus introduced on a heteronormative discursive basis, enforcing extended norms of coupledom in the process. Thirdly, the question of what discursive role marriage plays in relation to society is explored. By enforcing differentiation between sexual and non-sexual, reproductive and non-reproductive, coupled and non-coupled relationships, social order is maintained. For one hundred years, despite major changes, coupledom is constant.

Adults with spina bifida : A cross-sectional study of health issues and living conditions
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To describe health issues and living conditions in a cohort of adults living with Spina bifida.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted by a multidisciplinary team. Adults with spina bifida (n = 219) were invited to participate. One-hundred-and-ninety-six persons (104 women and 92 men; 18-73 years, median age 33 years) were included. Structured interviews, questionnaires, and clinical assessments for medical, social, physical, and cognitive functions were used.RESULTS: There was large variation among participants as regards the consequences of their spina bifida. Individuals < 46 years seemed to have more secondary conditions such as hydrocephalus, Chiari II malformation, tethered cord symptoms, and latex allergy. A higher proportion of the individuals >46 years and older was able to walk, and they had performed better in primary school and on tests of psychomotor speed and executive function.CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that adults with spina bifida have a complex set of physical, cognitive, and social needs that need to be addressed in order to improve their health issues and living conditions. The high prevalence of urinary and fecal incontinence, pain, and overweight underline that these issues need much attention during follow-up. The future generations of older adults may need more attention in many ways, since they at a younger age do have more complex medical conditions, lower physical and cognitive functions, and lower prerequisites for independent living and participation in society than those > 46 years today. This elucidates that adults with spina bifida need systematic follow-up services and social support throughout life.

Living and health conditions for adults with spina bifida in Sweden – a comprehensive prevalence group study
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction Seventy-five per-cents of children born with Spina Bifida (SB) are expected to live into adulthood, meaning that the adults will need more attention in the future. Adulthood involves great demands for persons with SB, but also for their families, the social well-fare and healthcare systems, as the group has a persistent need for care and support. The aim is to describe the living and health conditions for adults with Spina Bifida in different life stages including medical, physical, psychological, cognitive and social aspects. Methods A cross-sectional study conducted by a multidisciplinary team. Data collection was performed through structured interviews, questionnaires and clinical assessments. All individuals > 18 years with SB (n=219) registered at a regional outpatient clinic were offered participation; 196 persons (104 women, 92 men 18-73 years) were included. Results There was a great variation in the group concerning problems related to their congenital injury. The persons > 45 years and especially > 61 years seems to have less problems such as less prevalence of hydrocephalus, Chiari II malformation, tethered cord syndrome and they also walked to a higher extent. They passed elementary school to a higher extent and performed better on the tests for psychomotor speed and executive function. Conclusions The study shows the multifaceted problems this group is facing as adults with SB and contributes to increased knowledge concerning the living and health conditions. Increased knowledge can lead to targeted interventions and better care, thereby decreasing secondary complications, reducing costs for society and hopefully increasing quality of life for persons with SB and their families.

- The dismantling of the amateur rules of Swedish football in 1967 initiated the professionalization of the game in Sweden. This article analyses the impact and consequences of this development by using a comparative approach based on an examination of two clubs. The expected domination by Malmo FF in the new professionalized era is contrasted with the most unexpected success achieved by Hammarby IF The paradoxical differences in the recent histories of these clubs reveal a differentiated picture of Swedish soccer professionalism.

Regulation of PfEMP1-VAR2CSA translation by a Plasmodium translation-enhancing factor
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Nature Microbiology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2058-5276. ; 2:7
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pregnancy-associated malaria commonly involves the binding of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to placental chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) through the PfEMP1-VAR2CSA protein. VAR2CSA is translationally repressed by an upstream open reading frame. In this study, we report that the P. falciparum translation enhancing factor (PTEF) relieves upstream open reading frame repression and thereby facilitates VAR2CSA translation. VAR2CSA protein levels in var2csa-transcribing parasites are dependent on the expression level of PTEF, and the alleviation of upstream open reading frame repression requires the proteolytic processing of PTEF by PfCalpain. Cleavage generates a C-terminal domain that contains a sterile-alpha-motif-like domain. The C-terminal domain is permissive to cytoplasmic shuttling and interacts with ribosomes to facilitate translational derepression of the var2csa coding sequence. It also enhances translation in a heterologous translation system and thus represents the first non-canonical translation enhancing factor to be found in a protozoan. Our results implicate PTEF in regulating placental CSA binding of infected erythrocytes.

Subcultures and Small Groups : A Social Movement Theory Approach
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation uses social movement theory to analyze the emergence, activities and development of subcultures and small groups. The manuscript is comprised of an Introduction followed by three journal articles and one book chapter. The introduction discusses: 1) the concept of theoretical extension whereby a theory developed for one purpose is adapted to another; 2) it identifies the social movement theories used to analyze subcultures and small groups; 3) it describes the data used in the analyses included here. The data for this work derives from two distinct research projects conducted by the author between 2002 and 2012 and relies on multiple sources of qualitative data. Data collection techniques used include fieldwork, archival research, and secondary data. Paper I uses resource mobilization (RM) theory to analyze the origin, development, and function of White Power music in relation to the broader White Power Movement (WPM). The research identifies three roles played by White Power music: (1) recruit new adherents, (2) frame issues and ideology for the construction of collective identity, (3) obtain financial resources. Paper II gives an overview of the subculture of Freestyle BMX, discussing its origins and developments—both internationally as a wider subcultural phenomenon, and locally, through a three-year ethnographic case study of a subcultural BMX scene known as “Pro Town USA.” Paper III conceptualizes BMX as a social movement using RM theory to identify and explain three different forms of commercialization within this lifestyle sport in “Pro Town.” The work sheds light on the complex process of commercialization within lifestyle sports by identifying three distinct forms of commercialization: paraphernalia, movement, and mass market, and analyses different impacts that each had on the on the development of the local scene. Findings reveal that lifestyle-sport insiders actively collaborate in each form of commercialization, especially movement commercialization which has the potential to build alternative lifestyle-sport institutions and resist adverse commercial influences. Paper IV refines the small group theory of collaborative circles by: (1) further clarifying its concepts and relationships, (2) integrating the concepts of flow and idioculture, and (3) introducing a more nuanced concept of resources from RM. The paper concludes by demonstrating that circle development was aided by specific locational, human, moral, and material resources as well as by complementary social-psychological characteristics of its members.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The embedding of bacteria in the vegetation of infective endocarditis impedes the penetration of phagocytic cells. IL-8 has a stimulating effect on the immune system, particularly with respect to chemotaxis and activation of granulocytes. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) is 1 of the major proinflammatory cytokines. IL-8 and TNF- were visualized by means of immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded heart valve biopsies from 6 patients with infective endocarditis who required cardiac surgery during the active phase of the infection. In 5/6 patients there were signs of inflammation, and in these patients IL-8- and TNF- -containing cells were visualized in the heart valve stromas or vegetations. The largest numbers of IL-8-containing cells, and the greatest amount of inflammation, were seen in patients with short preoperative treatment courses. No such relationships were seen with respect to TNF- -containing cells. These observations may suggest that the occurrence of IL-8-containing cells in infected heart valves could be used as a marker of disease activity.

Community-Level Analysis of psbA Gene Sequences and Irgarol Tolerance in Marine Periphyton

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study analyzes psbA gene sequences, predicted D1 protein sequences, species relative abundance, and pollution-induced community tolerance in marine periphyton communities exposed to the antifouling compound Irgarol 1051. The mechanism of action of Irgarol is the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport at photosystem II by binding to the D1 protein. The metagenome of the communities was used to produce clone libraries containing fragments of the psbA gene encoding the D1 protein. Community tolerance was quantified with a short-term test for the inhibition of photosynthesis. The communities were established in a continuous flow of natural seawater through microcosms with or without added Irgarol. The selection pressure from Irgarol resulted in an altered species composition and an inducted community tolerance to Irgarol. Moreover, there was a very high diversity in the psbA gene sequences in the periphyton, and the composition of psbA and D1 fragments within the communities was dramatically altered by increased Irgarol exposure. Even though tolerance to this type of compound in land plants often depends on a single amino acid substitution (Ser(264)-> Gly) in the D1 protein, this was not the case for marine periphyton species. Instead, the tolerance mechanism likely involves increased degradation of D1. When we compared sequences from low and high Irgarol exposure, differences in nonconserved amino acids were found only in the so-called PEST region of D1, which is involved in regulating its degradation. Our results suggest that environmental contamination with Irgarol has led to selection for high-turnover D1 proteins in marine periphyton communities at the west coast of Sweden.

I skuggan av Pappa : familjerätten och hanteringen av fäders våld
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aims of this thesis are to shed light on the handling of fathers’ violence in the context of separation and divorce in Sweden today; and to analytically and empirically relate age, gender and kinship to each other. The aims are fulfilled by three interlinked studies of what constructions and the constructing of age, gender and kinship mean for the handling of fathers’ violence against mothers/co-parents and children: in social policy; by separated mothers; and finally by family law secretaries. Each study builds upon a separate set of qualitative material: public documents from three policy areas; thematically structured interviews with abused, separated mothers and family law secretaries. The empirical results make visible some unintended consequences of current attempts in Sweden to create gender equality, shared parenting, a “new father” and to promote children’s interests. Study one demonstrates that when the politics and policy regarding parenthood, separation and divorce are taken as the point of departure, the contemporary age-, gender-, and kinship-order stands out as patriarchal: as marked by father-power based upon ties of blood to not yet adult children. Furthermore, violent fathers neither exist as a concept nor as a policy problem. The interviewed mothers narrate how they have tried to deal with the co-parent’s/ex-partners’ behaviour as violence but have encountered hindrances; the interviewed family law secretaries’ handling fathers’ violence stands out as more of a non-handling, especially in the case of violence against children. When the everyday constructions and constructing of age, gender and kinship discussed in study two and three are taken together, the contours of the patriarchal order seen through the lens of policy are also made visible: fathers’ space for action is vast; children’ and mothers’ more limited. The analysis shows how political and professional handling of fathers’ violence through a non-handling is made possible by well-established notions of heterosexual relationships, fatherhood, motherhood, age- and kinship-relations, as well as family law secretary-professionalism. However, the two studies based upon interviews demonstrate not just how the everyday constructions and constructing mentioned above can be used to reproduce father-power, but also how this power can be challenged.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den huvudsakliga uppgiften i denna rapport har varit att utifrån ett hållbarhetsperspektiv utvärdera ett antal projekt som syftat till att minska näringsläckaget från jordbruksmark i olika områden i Sverige. Projekten är dels de ”5 stora”, som finansierats genom havsmiljöanslaget, samt tre stycken mindre LOVAfinansierade projekt. För att möjliggöra jämförbara och robusta utvärderingar av projekt har ett analysverktyg utvecklats parallellt med insamling av data för de olika projekten. I analysverktyget utvärderas hur projekt bidragit till miljömässig, ekonomisk och social hållbarhet. Den slutliga bedömningen av ett projekt utgörs av ett sammanvägt hållbarhetsindex tillsammans med ett antal deskriptiva kriterier. Utvärderingen av de ”5 stora” visar bl.a. att: De mest framgångsrika projektet inom de ”5 stora” är Greppa Fosforn och Tullstorpsån. Utvärderingarna visar att de tre hållbarhetsdimensionerna är korrelerade (generellt höga) i de flesta framgångsrika projekt. Detta speglar exempelvis att möjligheten att uppnå målsättningar om åtgärder inom ett projekt (ekologisk hållbarhet) ökas av en hög grad av acceptans och deltagande från lokala aktörer och markägare (socialt hållbarhet). I några projekt är det sociala indexet högt, medan de ekologiska och ekonomiska är relativt låga. Detta kan innebära att projektet resulterat i ökad acceptans, deltagande och kunskap så att fortsatt engagemang också leder till fortsatta åtgärder. Ett exempel är Slätbaken där stor vikt lagts på samverkan och nya institutionella arrangemang. Förklaringar till utfallet i projektutvärderingarna kan till stor del sökas bland de deskriptiva kriterierna där fokus ligger på att beskriva hur projekten genomförts och på vilka behov som föregått projektet. Till exempel om projektet initierats lokalt, regionalt eller nationellt, av enskilda aktörer eller av myndigheter. För att kartlägga framgångsfaktorer och projektrisker med statistisk säkerhet/signifikans behöver att större antal projekt utvärderas med analysverktyget. Analys av ett större antal projekt skulle ge ett dataunderlag med goda möjligheter till statistiska analyser för att kartlägga vad som leder till höga hållbarhetsindex inom olika typer av projekt. En jämförelse mellan utvärderingarna av de ”5 stora” och de tre fristående LOVAprojekten visar bl.a. att: Budget för respektive projekt är ungefär 5-10% av motsvarande budget för projekten i de ”5 stora”, som vägledande jämförelse. LOVA-projekten är således mycket mindre och de föreslagna åtgärderna likaså, men uppnår likartade hållbarhetsindex som projekten inom de ”5 stora”. Vidare är en stor skillnad att de tre LOVA-projekten är initierade lokalt, i två av fallen av kommuner. De mindre LOVA-projekten kan ha fördelar genom att vara anpassade och utformade efter lokala behov, och på så sätt även ha lättare att skapa lokal acceptans. UTVÄRDERING PROJEKTVERKSAMHET – ”DE 5 STORA” 10 En annan betydelsefull framgångsfaktor är att projekten är väl avgränsade, och att myndigheter och projektägare är överens om åtgärdsfokus. Däremot saknar de mindre projekten i större grad möjligheten att dra nytta av de synergieffekter som de större projekten i de ”5 stora” har haft till följd av större organisation, befintlig infrastruktur, angränsande forskningsprojekt etc. Med utgångspunkt från slutsatserna lämnas tre rekommendationer: Ställ högre krav på rapporteringen av genomförda projekt Arbetet med att samla in information och att utvärdera projekten inom de ”5 stora” och de tre fristående LOVA-projekten har tydligt visat på behovet av en förbättrad projektrapportering. För att underlätta Havs- och vattenmyndigheten framtida arbete med projektutvärderingar och prioriteringar mellan framtida projekt, behöver återrapporteringen bli bättre på att beskriva vad som görs inom projekten, hur framgångsrika åtgärderna är och vad de kostar. Krav måste åtminstone ställas på att rapporteringen görs på ett sätt som möjliggör utvärdering av genomförda projekt utifrån måluppfyllelse, ekonomi och sociala aspekter. Ställ högre krav i ansökan på genomförande och organisation. En viktig aspekt, åtminstone i projekt av större dignitet, är att skapa acceptans och delaktighet i åtgärder som bygger på frivillighet. Medfinansiering genom medel från Havs- och vattenmiljöanslaget, eller LOVA, för projekt som omfattar flera års genomförande med betydande budget bör således grunda sig på en tydlig presentation redan i ansökan över hur projektet kommer att organiseras för att skapa samverkan i såväl vertikal som horisontell ledd. Ansökan bör också tydligt beskriva vilka metoder som kommer att användas för att stimulera deltagande, samverkan och kunskapsspridning. Utvärdera ett större antal bidragsfinansierade projekt med analysverktyget Det krävs att analysen tillämpas på ett större antal projekt för att mer långtgående slutsatser ska kunna dras om framgångsfaktorer och riskkällor i de genomförda projekten. Ett större dataunderlag skulle möjliggöra en mer ingående statistisk analys, exempelvis av betydelsen av enskilda kriterier för projektutfall i olika sammanhang. Underlaget kan sedan användas vid prioritering mellan förslag till framtida bidragsfinansierade projekt. Ett större dataunderlag kan också belysa förhållandet mellan osäkerhet i projektrapporteringen och uppnådda hållbarhetsindex inom olika projekt. Informationen kan ge stöd för beslut om vilka krav som ska ställas på förbättrad rapportering i framtida bidragsfinansierade projekt.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper describes several types of small scale forms on the stoss side of a roche moutonnee surface, recently exposed in a gravel pit in the Fjaras bracka complex, SW Sweden. The forms were filled with weathered rock debris. When excavated, they showed a striking resemblance to 5 forms generally accepted to be shaped by glacial/glaciofluvial erosion. In addition to these forms there were irregular cavities for instance smoothly rounded throughs and irregular rough surfaces resembling those claimed to be preglacial weathering forms. In spite of the few observations made, many small scale glacial erosion forms are likely to be the result of a three-step process i.e. glacial pressure deformation of the bedrock, subsequent weathering of the deformed rock, and finally excavation of the deformed rock by exogenic processes. Further on it seems probable that many rough surfaces of the type described in the paper are the result of glacial pressure deformation and subsequent weathering
