Approximately 40 to 50 multi-element species belonging to a dozen families are identified. Scolecodonts of polychaetes with prionognath, and particularly labidognath, type of jaw apparatus markedly dominate, whereas those of placognath and ctenognath taxa are very rare. The most common and/or characteristic genera include Oenonites Hinde, 1879; Kettnerites Zebera, 1935; Atrakoprion, Kielan-Jaworowska, 1962; Ramphoprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1962; Protarabellites Stauffer, 1933a; Kalloprion, Kielan-Jaworoska. 1962: Leptoprion, Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966; Hadoprion Eriksson and Bergman, 1998; Mochtyella Kielan-Jaworowska, 1961: and Tetraprion? Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966. Members of the family Polychaetaspidae, particularly Oenonites species, generally dominate in abundance and number of species. The second most abundant family typically is either Ramphoprionidae or Paulinitidae. Overall. the taxonomic diversity seems to increase from the deeper water, shale-dominated, Edenian Kope Formation and upward in the succession to the shallower water, limestone-dominated, Richmondian Whitewater Formation. Five more or less distinct scolecodont associations were identified that are of potential biostratigraphic utility. Most families and genera identified have intercontinental distribution and can be identified also in approximately coeval strata of the Baltic paleocontinent. However, the faunal composition differs between these regions, especially at the species level. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/c3c33057-7404-488e-b407-402f3beb2cb7 Cambridge University Press 2003 eng Geology 0022-3360 309567 000183267700008 0038467451 10.1666/0022-3360(2003)077<0509:LOJPFO>2.0.CO;2 http://dx.doi.org/10.1666/0022-3360(2003)077<0509:LOJPFO>2.0.CO;2 yes 77 3 509 523 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/0038467451 c3c33057-7404-488e-b407-402f3beb2cb7 2016-04-01T15:36:19+02:00 2025-10-14T11:15:13+02:00 2016-04-01T15:36:19+02:00 1 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 2 C F Bergman author Mats Eriksson author c4d0dbd0-2ec2-46b4-bbe6-b87549717793 Lithosphere and Biosphere Science v1000635 department Jaws of fossil marine polychaete annelids, scolecodonts, from Sweden have chiefly been reported from Silurian strata.

To this end, women meeting the DSM-IV criteria of bulimia nervosa, purging type, were treated in a one-center study with the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide (n = 9), the serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram (n = 15), flutamide plus citalopram (n = 10), or placebo (n = 12) for 3 months using a double-blind design. Self-rated global assessment of symptom intensity suggests all active treatments to be superior to placebo. The reduction in binge eating compared with baseline was statistically significant in both groups given flutamide but not in the groups given citalopram only or placebo. A moderate and reversible increase in serum transaminase levels led to discontinuation in two subjects in the flutamide group. It is concluded that blockade of androgen receptors may reduce some of the symptoms of bulimia nervosa in women. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/af08a914-4abc-48e6-aaa0-5ca29859414f Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 2005 eng Pharmacology and Toxicology http://www.psychopharmacology.com/pt/re/jclnpsychopharm/abstract.00004714-200502000-00013.htm yes 0271-0749 133225 000226451200013 15643104 12344287791 10.1097/01.jcp.0000150222.31007.a9 http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/01.jcp.0000150222.31007.a9 yes 25 1 85 88 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/12344287791 af08a914-4abc-48e6-aaa0-5ca29859414f 2016-04-01T15:48:56+02:00 2025-10-14T11:45:32+02:00 2016-04-01T15:48:56+02:00 3 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 3 Mats Eriksson author c4d0dbd0-2ec2-46b4-bbe6-b87549717793 CF Bergman author Lennart Jeppsson author 2949462f-4cd7-4c69-9455-96415da621b2 Lithosphere and Biosphere Science v1000635 department Scolecodonts, polychaete jaws, generally occur abundantly in Silurian shallow marine successions and are known from all continents except Antarctica. The assemblages are typically characterized by taxa with labidognath, placognath and prionognath type jaw apparatuses. They commonly include species of Kettnerites Zebera, 1935, Oenonites Hinde, 1879, Mochtyella Kielan-Jaworowska, 1961, Protarabellites Stauffer, 1933, Atraktoprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1962, Pistoprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966, Vistulella Kielan-Jaworowska, 1961, Xanioprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1962, Kalloprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1962, and Leptoprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966. Less common genera, such as Hadoprion Eriksson and Bergman, 1998, Symmetroprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966 and Rhytiprion Kielan-Jaworowska, 1966, generally are recorded only from very large collections and/or suitable facies. Many of the common genera, as well as a few species, have been identified in several regions, particularly in Baltica and Laurentia, and evidently had a broad, intercontinental distribution. However, the scolecodont record from regions at higher paleolatitudes, i.e. Gondwana and peripheral paleoplates, is meager. In the famous latest Llandovery to latest Ludlow succession of Gotland, Sweden, scolecodonts are one of the most common microfossil groups, with abundances reaching thousands of specimens/kg rock. Based on an extensive collection, approximately one hundred jawed polychaete species belonging to at least 28 genera and a dozen families have been identified. Polychaetaspids, paulinitids and mochtyellids dominate. The exceptionally rare genus Synclinophora Eisenack, 1975, may belong to the family Oenonidae. If so, this is the only extant family represented in Silurian strata. The diversity patterns and temporal and stratigaphic distribution related to facies reveal that the assemblages house eurytopic as well as stenotopic taxa. Both long-ranging taxa, embracing the entire succession and beyond, and short-ranging taxa, occur. Like other metazoan groups, jawed polychaetes were affected by the documented Silurian extinction events. During the globally recognized late Ludlow Lau Event, approximately one third of the identified polychaete taxa went extinct, and some lineages show Lazarus gaps on Gotland. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The fauna includes members of six families: Paulinitidae, Ramphoprionidae, Polychaetaspidae, Atraktoprionidae, Hadoprionidae, and Kalloprionidae. Ten species are identified and one new paulinitid species, Ketmerites (Aeolus) sylvanensis, dominates. The low-abundance and relatively low-diversity Sylvan Shale fauna differs from approximately coeval ones of both Laurentia and Baltica, particularly by its high relative frequency of paulinitids. The scolecodonts are associated with chitinozoans, as well as some enmnatic organic-walled microfossils. Conodonts are extremely rare. with Plectodina tenuis, Amorphognathus sp., and Dapsilodus sp. identified. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/faa4501a-ee04-4645-96e6-5cca319cbbe4 Cambridge University Press 2005 eng Geology http://jpaleontol.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/3/486 yes 0022-3360 244350 000228613300005 18644370208 79 3 486 496 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/18644370208 faa4501a-ee04-4645-96e6-5cca319cbbe4 2016-04-01T17:09:18+02:00 2025-10-14T12:44:24+02:00 2016-04-01T17:09:18+02:00 5 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 3 Mats Eriksson author c4d0dbd0-2ec2-46b4-bbe6-b87549717793 Olle Hints author Claes F. Bergman author Lithosphere and Biosphere Science v1000635 department The polychaete annelid Kingnites diamondi, a new paulinitid genus and species, is described from the Silurian of Baltoscandia. Its large maxillae differ morphologically from those of all other known paulinitids, particularly in being very elongate and having conspicuous myocoele openings and posterior portions of the first maxillae (MI). Albeit rare, this polychaete taxon is highly characteristic and appears to be confined to the Wenlock-Ludlow transitional interval on Gotland, Sweden, and ranges into the upper Ludlow on Saaremaa, Estonia. All samples yielding this species derive from strata formed in proximal carbonate platform environments. The temporal and geographical distribution indicates that it first appeared in Gotland and subsequently spread north-eastwards to the present-day Saaremaa. Kingnites diamondi adds to the list of known members of the Paulinitidae and reinforces the importance of this family, in terms of abundance and diversity, in Silurian polychaete faunas of Baltica. This is the biggest paulinitid recorded from the Silurian with an inferred body length of approximately half a metre and its diagnostic jaws may serve as a proxy for shallow water, backreef (marginal marine to lagoonal) environments. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/df3ab7c8-36e8-40a8-925b-355405f2bf4b Taylor & Francis 2012 eng scolecodonts polychaetes paulinitids proximal carbonate platform environment Silurian Baltoscandia Geology 2000-0863 3191638 000309123300004 84866751247 10.1080/11035897.2012.704066 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/11035897.2012.704066 yes 134 3 217 224 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84866751247 df3ab7c8-36e8-40a8-925b-355405f2bf4b 2016-04-01T10:00:14+02:00 2025-10-14T09:47:22+02:00 2016-04-01T10:00:14+02:00 6 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 3 C F Bergman author Mats Eriksson author c4d0dbd0-2ec2-46b4-bbe6-b87549717793 Mikael Calner author ca0fcf4c-7556-41f8-a06a-4e02600a1d20 Lithosphere and Biosphere Science v1000635 department The Ordovician jawed polychaete annelid Rhytiprion magnus has hitherto been recorded in erratic boulders of probable East Baltic provenance and in drill cores from Poland and North Estonia. In this study the stratigraphical range and geographical distribution are extended as R. magnus is recorded from the Silurian of Gotland (Sweden) and Indiana (U.S.A.). Hence, R. magnus is now known from the Middle Ordovician to the middle Silurian (lower Ludlow; Kockelella v. variabilis conodont Zone) and comprises one of the few Palaeozoic polychaete species with a documented intercontinental distribution. The species is generally very rare but is abundant at a few localities; on Gotland, in the offshore setting of the Late Wenlock (K. ortus absidata conodont Zone; Colonograptus? praedubeli graptolite Zone) Djupvik Member of the Halla Formation. The distribution pattern shows that R. magnus thrived in low energy, distal platform environments, in which marly and muddy terrigenous sediments accumulated. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/dcbd6cde-9e3c-4f40-a43a-15665814393b Taylor & Francis 2003 eng Gotland Silurian Rhytiprion scolecodonts polychaete jaws USA Indiana Sweden Geology http://www.gff-online.se/site/article.asp?articleID=717 yes 2000-0863 286143 000189262300002 3543054570 125 4 191 199 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/3543054570 dcbd6cde-9e3c-4f40-a43a-15665814393b 2016-04-01T11:37:35+02:00 2025-10-14T10:43:22+02:00 2016-04-01T11:37:35+02:00 7 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml book chapter published 4 Michael Bogdan author a1d96f0f-2136-4ce0-ab28-90ee68ae6d73 C Bergman author A Eriksson author J Hirschfeldt author Dispute resolution v1001519 department Department of Law v1000142 department Dispute resolution research group https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/6045768d-d73f-45c3-8eb4-5bcde44f065e 2008 swe internationell privaträtt private international law Law 1370197 6045768d-d73f-45c3-8eb4-5bcde44f065e 2016-04-04T12:58:32+02:00 2025-04-04T13:55:16+02:00 2016-04-04T12:58:32+02:00 8 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 4 Ulrika Järkestig-Berggren author Ann Sofie Bergman author Maria Eriksson author Gisela Priebe author da03d660-c3ec-4715-bb84-c0f91267a94b Department of Psychology v1000681 department <p>Children who have parents with any kind of illness may become young carers who take a responsibility not expected of children for household tasks, or personal or emotional care for parents and siblings. So far, little is known about children in Sweden who are at risk of becoming young carers. The aim of this article is therefore to explore the extent and impact of children's caring activities as reported in a pilot study by a sample of children in Sweden. A number of international questionnaires measuring the amount of caring activities, impact of caring, quality of life, and psychological well-being were translated and combined into a survey. The pilot survey was completed by 30 children 10–18 years of age. Also, when completing the survey, the children were interviewed concerning their experiences of caregiving. The participants report on a group level emotional symptoms such as fear and nervousness above the clinical cut-off value. They also rate a lower level of caring compared with findings from the United Kingdom, but they report a higher degree of negative impact of caring than young carers in the United Kingdom.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/3306b67d-5f42-482c-9cd4-492709bda895 Wiley-Blackwell 2019 eng care activities child protection impact of caring psychological wellbeing young carers youth Social Work Pediatrics Other Health Sciences 1356-7500 85055089285 10.1111/cfs.12614 http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cfs.12614 yes 24 2 292 300 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85055089285 3306b67d-5f42-482c-9cd4-492709bda895 2018-12-10T14:22:32+01:00 2025-10-14T13:28:57+02:00 2018-12-10T14:22:32+01:00 9 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 8 Fanny Bergman author 5e305b40-a11f-460c-a029-22b571e12ed4 Axel C.

PM to be used for in vivo and in vitro studies is often collected on filters and then extracted from the filter surface using a solvent. During extraction and further PM sample handling, particle properties change, but this is often neglected in toxicology studies, with possible implications for health effect assessment. To address the current lack of knowledge and investigate changes in particle properties further, ambient PM with diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) was collected on filters at an urban site and extracted using a standard methanol protocol. After extraction, the PM was dried, dispersed in water and subsequently nebulized. The resulting aerosol properties were then compared to those of the ambient PM_2.5. The number size distribution for the nebulized aerosol resembled the ambient in terms of the main mode diameter, and &gt;90 % of particle mass in the nebulized size distribution was still in the PM_2.5 range. Black carbon made up a similar fraction of PM mass in nebulized as in ambient aerosol. The sulfate content in the nebulized aerosol seemed depleted and the chemical composition of the organic fraction was altered, but it remains unclear to what extent other non-refractory components were affected by the extraction process. Trace elements were not distributed equally across size fractions, neither in ambient nor nebulized PM. Change in chemical form was studied for zinc, copper and iron. The form did not appear to be different between the ambient and nebulized PM for iron and copper, but seemed altered for zinc. Although many of the studied properties were reasonably well preserved, it is clear that the PM_2.5 collection and re-aerosolization process affects particles, and thus potentially also their health effects. Because of this, the effect of the particle collection and extraction process must be considered when evaluating cellular and physiological outcomes upon PM_2.5 exposure.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/37e5d911-a0d3-47cb-90ae-e3bf68911893 Elsevier 2024-09 eng Air pollution Chemical speciation Inhalation toxicology Methanol extraction XANES Other Chemistry Topics 0021-8502 85196408742 10.1016/j.jaerosci.2024.106416 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaerosci.2024.106416 181 106416 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85196408742 37e5d911-a0d3-47cb-90ae-e3bf68911893 2024-07-01T15:10:09+02:00 2026-03-12T00:34:07+01:00 2024-07-01T15:10:09+02:00 10 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 9 Anders Forss author Gabriella Bröms author David Bergman author Marcus Thuresson author Jiangwei Sun author Carl Eriksson author Ola Olén author Bengt Zöller author 03dce51c-06b6-47fe-929a-a281cc7af269 Jonas F.

However, data on VTE is lacking in large population-based cohorts of microscopic colitis (MC). Methods: This study included all Swedish adults with incident MC without prior VTE (1990-2017; n=12,489; follow-up until 2021). MC and subtypes (collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis) were defined from prospectively recorded colorectal histopathology reports from all 28 pathology departments in Sweden. Individuals with MC were matched for birth year, sex, calendar year and county with up to five general population reference individuals (n=55, 809) without prior MC. Sensitivity analyses included full sibling comparisons and stricter definitions of VTE requiring a primary diagnosis of VTE and a prescription of anticoagulant medication. Incidence rates and multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for VTE events were calculated using Cox proportional hazards modelling. Results: Over a median of 10.0 years of follow-up, 755 (6.0%; 11.3/1000 person-years) incident VTE events occured in individuals with MC and 2674 (4.8%; 8.6/1000 person-years) in reference individuals. Individuals with MC had a higher overall relative risk of any VTE event compared with reference individuals (aHR=1.21, 95%CI=1.11-1.32) including higher risk of pulmonary embolism (aHR=1.23, 95%CI=1.08-1.40), deep vein thrombosis of the legs (aHR=1.16, 95%CI=1.03-1.32), and other VTE events (aHR=1.31, 95%CI=1.08-1.58). The results remained robust in sensitivity analyses. Discussion: In this population-based study, individuals with MC had a 21% higher risk of VTE compared with reference individuals, equivalent to one extra VTE event for every 37 MC individuals followed for ten years.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/1103d8bb-469f-409d-adbb-60801769eb4f Wolters Kluwer 2025 eng biopsy epidemiology inflammatory bowel disease microscopic colitis venous thromboembolism Cardiology and Cardiovascular Disease 0002-9270 105003039962 40079472 10.14309/ajg.0000000000003408 http://dx.doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0000000000003408 yes 120 12 2867 2876 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/105003039962 1103d8bb-469f-409d-adbb-60801769eb4f 2025-09-01T12:25:30+02:00 2026-05-26T17:12:25+02:00 2025-09-01T12:25:30+02:00 11 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 9 Christer Eriksson author Lars Frangsmyr author Liza Danielsson Niemi author Vuokko Loimaranta author Ulf Holmskov author Tomas Bergman author Hakon Leffler author af927e79-46c7-4e78-b915-e5d21e0ed62e Howard F. Jenkinson author Nicklas Stromberg author Division of Microbiology, Immunology and Glycobiology - MIG v1000557 department Glycoprotein gp-340 aggregates bacteria in saliva as part of innate defence at mucosal surfaces. We have detected size- and glycoforms of gp-340 between human saliva samples (n=7) and lung gp-340 from a proteinosis patient using antibodies and lectins in Western blots and ELISA measurements. Western blots of saliva samples, and of gp-340 purified, from the seven donors using a gp-340 specific antibody distinguished four gp-340 size variants, designated I to IV (n=2,2,2 and 1). While saliva gp-340 variants I to III had single bands of increasing sizes, variant IV and lung gp-340 had double bands. Purified I to IV proteins all revealed a N-terminal sequence TGGWIP upon Edman degradation. Moreover, purified gp-340 from the seven donors and lung gp-340 shared N-glycans, sialylated Gal beta 1-3GalNAc and (poly)lactosamine structures. However, the larger size gp-340 grouping II/III (n=4) and smaller size grouping I/IV correlated with a secretor, Se(+), and a non secretor, Se(-), dependent glycoform of gp-340, respectively (p=0.03). The Se(+) glycoforms contained ABH, Le(b), Le(y) and polylactosamine structures, while the Se(-) glycoforms lacked ABH antigens but expressed Lea, Lex and lactosamine structures. By contrast, lung gp- 340 completely lacked ABH, Le(a/b), Le(x/y) or sLe(x) structures. Gp-340 and secretor typing of saliva from additional donors (n=29) showed gp-340 glycoforms I to IV for 6, 16, 4 and 0 donors, respectively, and 3 non-typeable donors, and verified that gp-340 glycoforms I and II/III correlate with Se(-) and Se(+) phenotypes, respectively (p &lt; 0.0001). The glycoforms of saliva and lung gp-340 mediated differential aggregation of Le(b)-(Helicobacter pylori), sialylpolylactosamine(Streptococcus suis) or sialic acid- (Streptococcus mutans) binding bacteria. In conclusion, variant size- and glycoforms of gp-340 are expressed by different individuals and may modulate the biological properties of gp-340 pertinent to health and disease. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/46a36f4f-6a89-472a-ad46-b9412ddab710 Springer 2007 eng glycoforms secretor status DMBT1 saliva Gp-340 Microbiology in the Medical Area Immunology in the Medical Area (including Cell and Immunotherapy) 1573-4986 671676 000244681000003 33847664676 10.1007/s10719-006-9020-1 http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10719-006-9020-1 yes 24 2-3 131 142 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/33847664676 46a36f4f-6a89-472a-ad46-b9412ddab710 2016-04-01T16:40:40+02:00 2025-10-14T09:45:11+02:00 2016-04-01T16:40:40+02:00 12 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 8 Manan Pareek author Deepak L.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a prospective population-based cohort study of 4,867men, randomly selected fromprespecified birth cohorts between 1921 and 1949,who underwent an oral glucose tolerance test with blood glucose measurements at 0, 1, and 2 h. Subjects were followed for up to 39 years, with registry-based recording of events. Discriminative abilities of elevated 1-h (≥8.6 mmol/L) versus 2-h (≥7.8 mmol/L) glucose for predicting incident type 2 diabetes, vascular complications, andmortality were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression, and net reclassification improvement. RESULTS Median agewas 48 years (interquartile range [IQR] 48-49). During follow-up (median 33 years [IQR 24-37]), 636 (13%) developed type 2 diabetes. Elevated 1-h glucose was associatedwith incident diabetes (hazard ratio 3.40 [95% CI 2.90-3.98], P &lt; 0.001) and provided better risk assessment than impaired glucose tolerance (Harrell concordance index 0.637 vs. 0.511, P &lt; 0.001). Addition of a 1-hmeasurement in subjects stratified by fasting glucose provided greater net reclassification improvement than the addition of a 2-h measurement (0.214 vs. 0.016, respectively). Finally, the 1-h glucose was significantly associated with vascular complications and mortality. CONCLUSIONS The 1-h blood glucose level is a stronger predictor of future type 2 diabetes than the 2-h level and is associated with diabetes complications and mortality.</p> https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/c425b721-e539-4e88-8475-dd9c4af51632 American Diabetes Association 2018 eng Endocrinology and Diabetes 0149-5992 85038961961 29138275 10.2337/dc17-1351 http://dx.doi.org/10.2337/dc17-1351 yes 41 1 171 177 7 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85038961961 c425b721-e539-4e88-8475-dd9c4af51632 2018-01-22T10:43:29+01:00 2026-05-14T04:11:57+02:00 2018-01-22T10:43:29+01:00 13 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml report published 12 Maj Rundlöf author 489fcb0f-8290-4d6b-9a1d-4a76de0116da Elin Eriksson author Julia Bergman author Sara Erling author Ove Jonsson author Mariana Ledesma author Laima Blažytė-Čereškienė author Bjørn Arild Hatteland author Glenn Svensson author ce2893e6-ce7a-4ea5-99ad-c470b874d884 Kajsa Weslien author Ola Olsson author 94840950-4319-4fbc-9c64-4d2a50411530 Mikaela Gönczi author Biodiversity and Evolution v1001670 department LU Profile Area: Nature-based future solutions v1001534 department Biodiversity and Conservation Science v1001394 department BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate v1000616 department Sensory Biology v1001667 department Pheromone Group v1001399 department Biodiversity and Conservation Science research group Pheromone Group research group Understanding pesticide-Pollinator interactions to support EU Environmental Risk Assessment and policy project https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/6d84b95f-96da-425d-b302-9a706064311d 1 SLU Centrum för kemiska bekämpningsmedel i miljön (CKB) 2025 eng Ecology (including Biodiversity Conservation) Environmental Sciences https://res.slu.se/id/publ/141272 978-91-8046-615-8 10.54612/a.5rg2oa0c6g http://dx.doi.org/10.54612/a.5rg2oa0c6g 2025 46 6d84b95f-96da-425d-b302-9a706064311d 2025-05-08T10:24:28+02:00 2025-05-09T03:06:05+02:00 2025-05-08T10:24:28+02:00 14 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml journalArticle published yes 13 P Sandin author B E Bengtsson author Å Bergman author I Brandt author L Dencker author P Eriksson author L Förlin author Per Larsson author 40bf7c98-04af-4a8e-9951-e78f00a6ada2 A Oskarsson author C Ruden author Anders Södergren author a5cd8f9c-6085-4889-8923-07a524be2950 Per Woin author ecbad2c5-71cd-4365-bbc4-341d0c10fb80 S O Hansson author Department of Biology v1000601 department In order to give adequate support to risk managers, new risk assessment methods should be developed that are (1) scientifically sound, (2) simplified, and (3) suited for precautionary risk management. In this Perspective we propose that the notion of a precautionary default can be a useful tool in the development of such methods. A precautionary default is a cautious or pessimistic assumption that is used in the absence of adequate information and that should be replaced when such information is obtained. Furthermore, we point out some promising research areas for the development of such indicators, viz. connections between chemical characteristics such as persistence and effect parameters, monitoring of contaminants in polar regions, monitoring of contaminants in breast milk, application of results from (human) toxicology in ecotoxicology and vice versa, (eco) toxicological test systems that are sensitive to effects on reproduction, and the application of bioinformatic methods to complex data, both in genomic research and in ecotoxicology. We conclude that precautionary decision-making does not require less science, but to the contrary it requires more science and improved communication between scientists and risk managers. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/15befcb6-ba21-4809-8cfc-edcdaa531246 Taylor & Francis 2004 eng Ecology (including Biodiversity Conservation) 1080-7039 149744 000220374200001 1642370560 10.1080/10807030490280909 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10807030490280909 yes 10 1 1 18 https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/1642370560 The information about affiliations in this record was updated in December 2015.

What kind of R&amp;D policies should be promoted? This thesis contributes to the existing literature by investigating other data sets than before, by using more modern econometric techniques and by extending the investigated variables.<br/><br> <br/><br> Chapter 2 examines the role of foreign sales in stimulating R&amp;D as compared to a domestic sales effect, and finds, in line with the literature, that R&amp;D rises proportionally to sales in cross-sections from 1991 to 2001. Among manufacturing firms, foreign sales are distinctly more associated with an increase in R&amp;D than domestic sales. For service firms, domestic sales are as important as foreign. The results are consistent with the hypotheses that manufacturing firms more easily separate production from R&amp;D, economize on transport costs and are subject to learning-by-exporting effects. In general, the results highlight the dependence on openness in stimulating R&amp;D in a small economy, especially among manufacturing firms.<br/><br> <br/><br> Chapter 3 uses a panel of Swedish manufacturing firms to examine the effects of internal and external R&amp;D on total factor productivity over the period 1991-2004. The findings give some support to the notion of complementarity between internal and external R&amp;D, especially in industries with high R&amp;D intensities, and suggest that the employees’ level of education is important for the firm’s capabilities to absorb external R&amp;D. However, external R&amp;D is generally found to have a negative effect on productivity and internal R&amp;D is only significant when not including interaction terms between internal R&amp;D and external R&amp;D or human capital.<br/><br> <br/><br> Chapter 4 examines the productivity effects of privately and publicly funded R&amp;D, both performed in the private sector. In doing so, it ascertains whether there are differences in the direct effects on an industry’s total factor productivity growth, and whether the spillover effects of R&amp;D performed in other industries within a country differ in terms of the two sources of funding. Using a panel of industries from 13 OECD countries, it is found that privately funded R&amp;D has a positive productivity effect, but with diminishing returns. Publicly funded R&amp;D shows signs of increasing returns to scale, but the total effect is negative for most industries in the sample. The results concerning spillover effects are less robust, but there is some evidence of positive spillover effects from privately funded R&amp;D, whereas spillovers from publicly funded R&amp;D have an insignificant or a negative effect on an industry’s productivity growth. <b>Popular Abstract in Swedish</b><br/><br> På lång sikt drivs ekonomisk tillväxt av teknisk utveckling. Det är genom att kunna producera mer och bättre produkter givet samma insatsfaktorer som bruttonationalprodukten (BNP) växer i det långa loppet. Men vad är det då som genererar teknisk utveckling? Jo, satsningar på forskning och utveckling (FoU). Dock är det så att resultaten från FoU – ny kunskap och ny teknik – kan spridas i ekonomin utan kostnad vilket gör det svårt för det företag som har utfört forskningen att få den avkastning på forskningen som det behöver. Detta leder till att det utförs mindre forskning i ekonomin än vad som är optimalt för samhället. På grund av denna underinvestering finns det en lång tradition av offentligt stöd till FoU.<br/><br> <br/><br> Denna avhandling behandlar olika aspekter av organisationen av FoU för att öka förståelsen för hur det offentliga stödet kan utformas för att i slutändan stimulera ekonomisk tillväxt på lång sikt.<br/><br> <br/><br> Kapitel 2 undersöker en gammal forskningsfråga gällande om stora eller små företag har fördelar i utförandet av FoU. I dessa undersökningar brukar man mäta storlek med antal anställda eller omsättning. Detta kapitel utvidgar frågan genom att studera om ett företags utgifter för forskning och utveckling påverkas olika av förändringar i försäljning på exportmarknaden jämfört med hemmamarknaden. I linje med tidigare resultat hittar vi att FoU ökar proportionellt med total försäljning. Men bland tillverkningsföretag är det en starkare koppling mellan FoU-utgifter och export än med försäljning på hemmamarknaden. För tjänsteföretag är försäljning på export- respektive hemmamarknaden lika viktiga som bestämningsfaktorer för mängden FoU. Resultaten stämmer med hypotesen om att det är lättare för tillverkningsföretag att skilja produktionen från FoU och därmed kan spara in på transportkostnader. Generellt visar resultaten på vikten av öppenhet för att stimulera FoU i en liten ekonomi, speciellt bland tillverkningsföretag.<br/><br> <br/><br> Kapitel 3 studerar om den FoU som ett företag har utfört själv (intern FoU) och den FoU som företaget har utlokaliserat (extern FoU) ger olika effekter på företagets produktivitet. Resultaten i kapitlet ger visst stöd för hypotesen om komplementaritet mellan intern och extern FoU på så sätt att avkastningen på extern FoU blir större ju mer intern FoU ett företag utför. Resultaten ger också visst stöd för att de anställdas utbildningsnivå påverkar företagets förmåga att ta till sig och använda den forskning som utförts i extern regi. Dock visar resultaten också på att extern FoU ger en negativ effekt på produktiviteten vilket kan förklaras antingen med att användandet av extern FoU är något som företag gör när det går dåligt eller att de bara gör det ibland och därmed inte har lämpliga rutiner och den kunskap som behövs för att utnyttja externa resurser på bästa sätt. <br/><br> <br/><br> Kapitel 4 undersöker om produktivitetseffekterna varierar beroende på om det är den privata eller den offentliga sektorn som finansierar forskningen. Kapitlet undersöker bara produktivitetseffekter från FoU som utförs i den privata sektorn men tittar både på direkta skillnader för den utförande industrin och på skillnader i spridningseffekter – om det blir olika produktivitetseffekter för en industri av total privatfinansierad FoU och total offentligt finansierad FoU som utförs i andra industrier i landet. Resultaten visar på vikten av privat finansierad forskning för produktiviteten medan offentligt finansierad forskning verkar ha en negativ effekt. Det kan därmed vara så att den offentliga sektorn är dålig på att välja ut projekt att finansiera eller att den privata sektorn inte bryr sig lika mycket om hur den använder de offentliga medlen jämfört med de privata. Men det skulle också kunna vara så att de offentliga medlen är riktade mot projekt som tar längre tid att generera positiva effekter eller att det finns andra mål med den offentliga finansieringen än att öka industrins produktivitet, som t.ex. att förbättra sjukvård eller att uppnå mer forskningssamarbeten som kan gynna spridningen av teknik och därmed produktiviteten för hela ekonomin. https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/c51bbcd1-6e24-47cb-b855-e885b352b58d https://portal.research.lu.se/files/3797822/2335232.pdf application/pdf 992099 no Department of Economics, Lund University 2012 eng Productivity Exports R&D Economics 0460-0029 2335199 166 116 2012-03-23T13:15:00+01:00 c51bbcd1-6e24-47cb-b855-e885b352b58d 2016-04-01T14:07:17+02:00 2025-04-04T15:20:59+02:00 2016-04-01T14:07:17+02:00 20 1.1author any "eriksson bergman"authoranyeriksson bergman
