Where the former is a silent disease with slow expansion of the infrarenal aorta, rAAA is symptomatic with abdominal/back pain and possibly even hemorrhagic shock. Repair of an iAAA has low mortality rates while repair of rAAA is associated with much higher complication rates and postoperative mortality.

Our aim is to nd out whether winter road salting affects wash frequency, the use of car cleaners and corrosion. Compilation of the responses shows that there are signicant differences in the care of cars between the island of Gotland (unsalted) and the Swedish mainland opposite Gotland (salted), and between part of Vaster- botten County (lightly salted) and part of Vasternorrland County (salted). We consider that if salt application were discontinued, wash frequency would be cut by ca 30% and the use of degreasers and screen wash uid would be reduced by 4070%.

    Gotlandic Villas Implications of the distribution of high status finds in Gotlandic Iron Age houses known as “kämpgravar” By: Jonathan Nilsson Two years master’s thesis in Archaeology Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University: Campus Gotland Supervisor: Paul Wallin Co-supervisors: Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Abstract Author: Jonathan Nilsson Swedish title: Gotländska Villor: Implikationer baserat på distributeringen av högstatusfynd i gotländska järnåldershus kallade ”kämpgravar”. English title: Gotlandic Villas: Implications of the Distribution of High Status Finds in Gotlandic Iron Age Houses Known as “kämpgravar”. Supervisors: Paul Wallin, Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Swedish abstract: Det huvudsakliga målet med denna uppsats är dels att ge bra överblick över fynden som påträffats i de gotländska stengrundshusen (kämpgravar) som byggdes flitigt under järnåldern och att dels se om det är möjligt att separera vissa hus från andra och spåra social stratifikation och hierarkier baserat på fyndmaterialet. De föremål som var av speciellt intresse för detta mål är de som kan kopplas till rikedom såsom exempelvis exotiska dryckesföremål, romerska föremål och föremål av ädelmetall. Undersökningen har visat att det på Gotland faktiskt fanns en del, ofta enorma, hus som hade en speciell benägenhet att hamstra exotiska dyrgripar. De riktiga utstickarna på det här temat är huset känt som Stavgard och även den nyligen undersökta byggnaden i Hellvi. Båda hade rika mängder av dryckesobjekt såsom glaskärl och

  • Utilizing Beach-Cast Seaweed for Biochar Production in Gotland a Study of Energy and Carbon Balances of Algal Biochar
    Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI- TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Division of Heat and Power Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland - A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Approved Examiner Supervisor Date: 2020.12.21 Jeevan Jayasuriya Jean-Baptiste Thomas Commissioner Contact person Abstract With global warming, rising environmental issues, and increased beach-cast production, climate change mitigation efforts are important for the future of the planet. Carbon dioxide removal technologies are now deemed essential to reach the Sustainable development goals and keep the temperature rise under 1.5 or 2 degrees °C. Biochar produced from beach-cast seaweed has great potential as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration, while also proposing a way of dealing with unwanted beach-cast at public beaches. This study compares the alternative methodologies for performing carbon- and energy balances of the production of biochar from beach-cast seaweed. The methodologies differ in the accounting of emissions and energy consumption, either only accounting for consumed energy, including energy embodied in materials, or including avoided emissions. The viability of producing biochar from beach-cast seaweed is assessed while trying to answer if the biochar is best used as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration. Furthermore, the effect of pyrolysis peak temperature on the pyrolysis products is assessed.

    THE PICTURE STONES OF GOTLAND: TYPE C AND D STONES AS DEATH MEMORIALS _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Kelsie H. Spears May, 2016 THE PICTURE STONES OF GOTLAND: TYPE C AND D STONES AS DEATH MEMORIALS _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _______________ By Kelsie H. Spears May, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the picture stones of Gotland, Sweden dating to the Viking Age. The Viking Age picture stones are made up of two groups, C and D, as delineated by Sune Lindqvist, dating to 700-1000 AD. Utilizing a basic hypothesis by Björn Varenius, which was applied to Early Iron Age picture stones, a research plan was created and applied to the stones of the Viking Age. An iconographic analysis was performed on six well-known stones found in the Gotland Museum and Swedish National Antiquity Museum. This iconographic analysis used the frequency of individual images and a correlation of images appearing together to interpret the basic thematic meaning of the iconography. A landscape discussion and context analysis was done on three sites, Buttle Änge, Fröjel Stenstugu, and Visne ängar, which had in situ picture stones. The landscape discussion sought to find significant features which could be connected to the stones and interpreted.

  • Annual Report 2017
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Org nr 834001-6776 Introduction In 2017 the Baltic Centre for Writers and Translators, pursuing its aim to support creative process and provide authors and translators international cultural environment, time and space to write, read, translate, study, conduct research, give readings and become part of the vibrant and diverse literary context, served as a work and meeting place for a broad international community of 213 writers and translators from 26 countries. In 2017 BCWT also put special attention to Russian new literature and its authors as well to the Russian-Swedish cultural exchange. A translators’ workshop in July, a writers’ conference in October and increased Russian writers and translators’ presence in the international residency environment through the year was a result of this intensified exchange that laid ground for further cooperation. Also, the quest to convey the centre's narrative out to the world and the keen work to maintain the centre as an active international cultural actor continued. All those who work with and at the Centre, its intellectual owners and creators, i e authors and translators, and those who take care of the “business”, are keen to cherish the centre's inner essence and meaning - to be a home for literary creation, authors’ and translators’ ongoing workshop, an inspiring international environment and a place for significant meetings and learning. Through the year many groups and individuals visited the Centre to get closer acquainted with its activity and work conditions. BCWT’s programs often become the first acquaintance with a certain authorship or a translator’s work for the Swedish audience.

  • The Distribution of Bronze Artefacts of Viking Age Eastern Baltic Types Discovered on Gotland Iron Age Networks and Identities
    The distribution of Bronze artefacts of Viking Age Eastern Baltic types discovered on Gotland Iron Age Networks and Identities Triangular dress pin discovered in Västerhejde; from the original catalogue of the Swedish History Museum, 1895 Gotland University 2013/Spring Master (one year) thesis/Magisteruppsats Author: Daniel Gunnarsson School of Culture, Energy and Environment 1 Supervisors: Helene Martinsson-Wallin & Alexander Andreeff Abstract This thesis has compared the distribution of certain types of Viking Age Eastern Baltic bronze artifacts discovered on Gotland. This was done in order to observe different parts of Gotland´s interaction with different groups in the Baltic Sea region and how this might have influenced the identities and ideas of the individuals involved in the interaction. The objects and their finding contexts were subjected to a geographical analysis and applied to a map of Viking Age Gotland. Different distribution can be observed for different types of artifacts, as well as a shift in patterns of interaction in the Baltic Sea region over time. Denna uppsats har jämfört spridningsmönstren för olika vikingatida objekt från Baltikum som påträffats på Gotland. Detta för att kunna studera hur olika delar av Gotland har interagerat med andra grupper i Östersjöregionen och hur detta kan ha influerat individens identiteter och idéer. Föremålen samt deras kontexter har analyserats geografiskt, samt applicerats på en karta över det vikingatida Gotland. Olika spridningsmönster kunde observeras för olika typer av artefakter. Även förändringar i interaktionsmönstret över tid i östersjöregionen kunde noteras.

Det visade sig vara fuktskadat. När det lyftes bort så noterades en struktur i marken under kyrkans golv och arkeologer tillkallades. Efter en dags undersökningar kunde man konstatera att det som påträffats var den romanska kyrkomuren. I samband med detta så väcktes ett par frågor, framförallt om den romanska stenkyrkans utformning och status. Det fanns också frågor om man kunde se spår efter en träkyrka på platsen. Fig. 1 ovan. Läget för Hablingbo kyrka på Gotland och därmed också undersökningen, markerad av en kyrkoikon.

  • Tendencies in Gotland's History-Writing, 1850–2010
    In the shadow of the Middle Ages? Tendencies in Gotland’s history-writing, 1850–2010 Samuel Edquist Previous research on history-writing and other forms of the use of history has so far to a large extent analysed national and ethnic identities and their formation through narratives of the past.1 Other territorial identity projects have been less studied, relatively speaking. Still, the importance of the past is just as obvious in local, regional, and supranational identity projects.2 The latter have largely used similar mechanisms as those used in the nationalist projects, at least on the discursive level. Not only do geographical and contemporary cultural aspects delineate the regional ‘us’, but, more than that, do so by telling and retelling a common narrative about the past. ‘We’ have always lived here, ‘we’ have shared a common destiny down the centuries. In this study, I will analyse regional identity construction on Gotland. Gotland is the largest of all the Baltic islands, with a population of some 57,000 and a land area of 3,000 km2. It is one of Sweden’s twenty-five historical provinces (landskap), and constitutes a separate county (län). The province of Gotland also includes some smaller islands. The only inhabited one is Fårö, a separate parish at Gotland’s north-eastern edge, with some 550 inhabitants and a land area of 114 km2. Some of the uninhabited islands—Gotska Sandön, Stora Karlsö, and Lilla Karlsö—have nevertheless played a role in regional topography and history-writing, thanks to their distinctive landscape and as somewhat exotic places where historical events of the more curious and thrilling kind have taken place.3 1 Among numerous examples, see, for example, T.
