Life science and academia Sweden advocates that EMA should be placed in an innovative and thriving life science environment. Sweden has a highly developed health care sector and building a world leading life science sector, where research and development (especially clinical research), as well as a strong focus on innovation would provide an excellent working environment for EMA, making use of the life science cluster of the Stockholm-Uppsala region. Moreover, being the 6th most glo- balised country in the world, a natural part of the business and research in Sweden is to actively seek international collaboration and cooperation with Synergy effects with ECDC stakeholders from different sectors and disciplines.

    The toll of the automobile: Wildlife and roads in Sweden Andreas Seiler Department of Conservation Biology Uppsala Doctoral thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala 2003 Acta Universitatis Agriculturae Sueciae Silvestria 295 ISSN 1401-6230 ISBN 91-576-6529-X © 2003 Andreas Seiler, Uppsala Tryck: SLU Service/Repro, Uppsala 2003 2 Abstract Seiler, A. 2003. The toll of the automobile: Wildlife and roads in Sweden. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6230, ISBN 91-576-6529-X Animal-vehicle collisions are a common phenomenon worldwide, causing injury or death to millions of animals and hundreds of human passengers each year. Collision numbers can be significant to species conservation, wildlife management, traffic safety, as well as from an economic and political point of view, and should thus be evaluated from these different perspectives. In this thesis, I assess, evaluate, analyse and predict animal-vehicle collisions with respect to their extent, their effect on populations, and their broad and fine scale distribution. A questionnaire with Swedish drivers indicated that nationwide road traffic in 1992 may caused an annual loss in harvest of common game species of 7% to 97% and of 1% to 12% of estimated populations. Road mortality did not appear as an existential threat to most species, although in badgers (Meles meles), traffic probably is the largest single cause of death. A slow population growth rate coupled with a high proportion of adult badger road-kills is responsible for their sensitivity to road mortality. Provided that road mortality is additive, we predicted that losses due to nationwide traffic might already exceed birth rates and limit badger population growth.

  • Digital Libraries in the Nordic Countries
    Digital Libraries in the Nordic Countries: Practical Examples for the Creation and Development of ‘Libraries Without Walls’ from the Nordic Africa Institute Library and Other Libraries within the Nordic Countries Marie-Louise Fendin Head Librarian and Deputy Director of the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden Computerised Library Catalogues Libraries in the Nordic European countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) began the process of digital library building some 20-30 years ago with the implementation of computerised library catalogues. Sweden In Sweden, the Royal library in Stockholm, together with university and special libraries, began compiling a common union catalogue, LIBRIS, in the mid-seventies. LIBRIS is used for cataloguing, searching and interlibrary loans. Once a record has been entered into the system in the full MARC 21 format, it becomes possible for other libraries to add local information to it, and then for such a record to be downloaded for use by regional or domestic library systems. LIBRIS comprises approximately 5 million items housed in 300 libraries, and is searchable on the Web without any cost. Its interlibrary loan facility is currently used by 1,200 Swedish libraries and by more then 230 libraries throughout the other Nordic countries. The most recent development is that library users can order books directly, simply by completing a form on the web. This computerised master catalogue has seen several changes over the years which have come about largely as a result of technological advancement, making it possible to find innovative ways to solve problems and upgrade the system as a whole. What remains constant, however, is the fundamental principle of cooperation and collaboration amongst libraries, and the enormous advantages to be gained from this type of intercommunication.
