Landhöjningen efter istiden har påverkat det landskap som omger kyrkstaden i Gammelstad, som är ett världsarv. Fram till början av 1800-talet trodde forskarna att den sjunkande havsytan berodde på att Bibelns syndaflod drog sig tillbaka. Till dem hörde bl.a. Carl von Linne och Anders Celsius. Upptäckten av istiden gjorde att landskapet runt Gammelstad och Luleå kunde avläsas på ett nytt sätt. Landhöjningen påverkade det nuvarande världsarvet på ett påtagligt sätt. Staden flyttades från den medeltida kyrkplatsen 1649. Bönderna fick ny åkermark. Den uppgrundade Gammelstadsviken är i dag ett naturreservat som ingår i Natura 2000., This book is also available in english: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-79299, Förmedlingen av Gammelstads kyrkstad som världsarv

The aging population is a challenge for Europe and there must be cooperation between EU member states to join the challenge to meet. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the EU's ability to influence older people's health, based on experiences from a selection of European officials and on a review of the EU's common strategies. The authors studied and problematize the implementation of the strategies that the EU has negotiated for the work against the elderly poor health, with a view of member countries have different conditions. Using qualitative methods, we have collected and processed statements from targeted interviews and publications by a range of European policies. The material was then analyzed from implementation theory and organizational theory, and based on results of previous research. The result shows that the EU is developing common strategies and coordination methods to the aforementioned challenge to meet. The results also show that the differences existing between Member States causes implementation difficulties of the common strategies. The study states ultimately decide that there should be common strategies to facilitate the work of Member States when it comes to countering the elderly poor health. Study's respondents believe that these strategies should not be legislated because care work under them should not be on the EU level, efforts to combat ill-health of the elderly should be dealt with at national, regional and municipal levels.
