Larvae of the common green lacewing (GLW), Chrysopa carnea Stephens, have been reported tolerant to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides including permethrin (C/T) (3-phenoxybenzyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate), the trans isomer being more toxic than cis. An investigation was performed to determine the possible role of metabolism in this tolerance. Following topical application, GLW metabolized 80% of cis and 71% of trans within two hrs. About 95% of both cis and trans were metabolized by 50 hrs. Metabolism of C/T in vitro was compared to a susceptible insect, the tobacco budworm (TBW), Heliothis virescens (F.). GLW degraded cis 1.7-fold faster than trans, while TBW metabolized trans at a slightly higher rate than cis. When esterases and oxidases were active together or alone, cis and trans were metabolized faster by GLW than TBW. Metabolism of C/T by GLW was primarily oxidative with hydrolysis as a secondary mechanism. Trans is more toxic to GLW apparently because of this isomer's lower rate of detoxication. Several metabolites of C/T, cis-, and trans-permethrin were identified in studies with GLW in vivo and in vitro. It appeared that cis was metabolized more intensively than trans in vivo. The roles of esterases and oxidases in metabolizing C/T, cis-, and trans-isomers were studied in vitro and the following number of metabolites were identified: with C/T--five with esterases plus oxidases, six with esterases, and seven with oxidases alone. With cis--six metabolites were produced when esterases plus oxidases were active, five with esterases, and four with oxidases alone. With trans--esterases plus oxidases produced four metabolites, three with esterases alone, and seven with the oxidases alone. A few unknowns were exhibited in each case. Hydroxylation at the 2'-position of the phenoxybenzyl group seems to be important for GLW tolerance to C/T. Hydroxylation could be the first step in detoxifying C/T and its isomers. The toxicity of trans to GLW could be explained by the limited routes by which esterases acting alone can degrade this isomer; only three metabolites were produced with esterases while seven were produced with oxidases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how Joseph Stephens, who was the owner of the Huseby Estate between the years 1867 - 1934, saw the foreign trade as an opportunity to build up the economy of Huseby bruk when he came back to Sweden from India during the summer 1869. The manor, which is located in the south of Sweden, was in a poor condition when he returned but from that summer, he could for the first time work fulltime with the manor he had bought. The source material of this study is from the Huseby archives in the Linnaeus University, which in my investigation consists of correspondents to his father George Stephens and business contacts who were located abroad. The source material is also consisting of accounts from the bookkeeping of the company. The correspondents show how Joseph Stephens is patient with abroad market and sees the potential in it, even if the market in Sweden is easier to make profits in at the moment and has cheaper transport expenses. It also shows that he is making up plans for selling his products to the international market, even if there are complications that makes the market hard to get profit from. According to the accounts of Huseby bruk, most of the trade abroad went to Copenhagen. Another important city on the market was London. However, it seems like the company did not export any products to India between the years 1869 - 1875. The products which dominated the export were iron and wood products.
