Nitrogen (N) cycle dynamics and N deposition play an important role in determining the terrestrial biosphere's carbon (C) balance. We assess global and biome-specific N deposition effects on C sequestration rates with the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. Modeled CN interactions are evaluated by comparing predictions of the C and CN version of the model with direct observations of C fluxe
The phase behavior (temperature vs composition) and microstructure for the two binary systems Pluronic 25R4 [(PO)(19)(EO)33(PO)(19)]-water and Pluronic 25R2 [PO)(21)(EO)(14)(PO)(21)]-water have been studied by a combined experimental approach in the whole concentration range and from 5 to 80 degreesC. The general phase behavior has been identified by inspection under polarized light. Precise phase
Abstract in UndeterminedBackgroundReliable, valid and easily administered screening instruments would greatly facilitate large-scale neuropsychiatric research.Aims To test a parent telephone interview focused on autism – tics, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other comorbidities (A–TAC).MethodParents of 84 children in contact with a child neuropsychiatric clinic and 27 control c
Aim. Blood flow in peripheral conduit arteries during steady-state, dynamic exercise, can be estimated noninvasively with Doppler ultrasound, by measuring the conduit arterial diameter and the mean blood velocity averaged over consecutive cardiac beat-by-beat cycles (BBcycle) or muscle contraction-relaxation cycles (CRcycle). The precise impact fluctuations in the 1-BBcycle- or 1-CRcycle-rate may
This study presents GIS-based estimates of permafrost extent in the northern circumpolar region during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), based on a review of previously published maps and compilations of field evidence in the form of ice-wedge pseudomorphs and relict sand wedges. We focus on field evidence localities in areas thought to have been located along the past southern border of permafrost.
Global warming has become a scientific consensus. Climate change induced impacts on both natural and human systems have been observed. Climate financing for mitigation and adaptation has increased over the years, but it is still far from what is needed according to the 1.5 ̊C scenario by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The concept of green bond was developed as an innovative way to
År 2009 reformerades det administrativa förfarandet för tillståndsprövningar av vindkraftverk, delvis för att en större vindkraftsutbyggnad skulle komma till stånd men också som nödvändig en åtgärd för att Sverige skulle uppfylla sina skyldigheter i 2009 års förnybarhetsdirektiv. Tidigare hade en ansökning om att få bygga vindkraft inneburit dubbla process- och tillståndsförfaranden enligt både PlIn 2009 the Swedish legislature regarding the administrative procedure applicable to wind energy projects was amended, in part to increase wind power construction but also as a measure to fulfil Sweden’s obligations stemming from the 2009 Renewables directive. As a result, the dual process- and permit procedure under both the Plan and Building Act and the Environmental Code was abolished. Instead,
Lantbruket står inför stora förändringar till följd av en snabb ökning av den globala befolkningsmängden och klimatförändringar som skapar stor press på värdekedjan för matproduktion. Användningen av teknologier för precisionsodling (PA) har visat sig ha fördelar som kan vara en del av lösningen för dessa framtida utmaningar. Trots detta råder det inte konsensus inom forskarkåren om vilka aspekterThe agricultural industry is going through immense changes due to the rapid growth of the global population and climate change, creating increased pressure on the food supply chain. The use of precision agriculture (PA) technologies have shown benefits that could help solve these challenges. Despite this, there is no consensus among researchers on what aspects affect the adoption of PA technology
The European Border and Coast Guard was launched on October 6th, 2016. It was established through Regulation 2016/1624 and replaces the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States. The Agency is more known as Frontex. The objective with this thesis is to examine two problems in Regulation 2016/1624 that was addressed at the negotiatio
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utveckla befintliga förklaringar till internets roll i de olika stegen i en demokratiseringsprocess – liberalisering, transition respektive konsolidering. Detta görs genom en analys av demokratiseringsprocesser i Tunisien, Egypten och Bahrain under den arabiska våren, samt använda oss av teorier om internets påverkan på det moderna samhället. Dessa är formulerade av
AI-systemens snabba utveckling har på senare år fört teknologin till nya höjder. Framväxten av autonoma fordon och avancerade språkmodeller som ChatCPT har ställt diskussionen kring AI-systemens rättsliga problematik på sin spets. Bland annat har skadeståndsrättens reparativa syfte blivit svårare att uppnå till följd av att skador orsakade av AI-systemen komplicerar preciseringen av ansvarande paIn recent years, the rapid development of AI systems has elevated the technology to new heights. The emergence of autonomous vehicles and advanced language models like ChatCPT has brought the discussion around the legal issues of AI systems to the forefront. The primary aim of tort law is to compensate the injured parties and impose liability on the parties responsible. Due to the complex nature

Denna studie ämnar undersöka samspelet mellan den mediala gestaltningen av en stad samt de strategier som används i försök att påverka densamma. Studien avser därmed öka kunskapen om skapandet och förmedlandet av platsvarumärken samt den strategiska kommunikationens betydelse för denna process. Med en hermene-utisk ansats har kvalitativa intervjuer samt kvantitativ såväl som kvalitativ inne-hållsa
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate motivational factors of auditors as well as inter-group differences. In addition, our study aims to answer whether the auditors' motivations match the incentives provided by the firms. Methodology: For this study, we chose a quantitative research method in form of surveys to auditors from eight multinational audit firms in Sweden as well as
Föreliggande studie intresserar sig för hur en lärare kan tillvarata och skapa utrymme för elevers personliga drömmar, mål och visioner med att studera på det estetiska programmet inom ramen för ensembleundervisningen. Vidare undersöker studien hur en lärare, med utgångspunkt i elevernas drömmar, mål och visioner kan skapa förutsättningar för elever att känna motivation. Den tidigare forskning somThis study is interested in how a teacher can make use of and create space for students’ personal dreams, goals and visions by studying the aesthetic program within ensemble teaching. Furthermore, the study investigates how a teacher, based on the students’ dreams, goals and visions can create an environment where students can feel motivated. Previous research on the subject covers students’ desir
Circulating cell-free nuclear DNA (nDNA) has been implicated in individual cancer types with a diagnostic value; however, the role of cell-free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in cancers is controversial. We aimed to investigate and compare the diagnostic potential of both nDNA and mtDNA for multiple cancers and to investigate their ability to distinguish multiple cancers from healthy controls and from
Soil freezing/thawing is an important mechanism to control soil water and heat redistribution in mid-to-high latitudes. Salt in the agricultural soil from mid-to-high latitudes can alter characteristics of soil freezing/thawing cycle and then affect soil thermal and hydrological processes in winter and finally cause salinization in spring. To quantify the impacts of soil salinization on soil water
