Indigenous Peoples' Lands (IPL) cover approximately one quarter of the Earth’s land surface and play a potentially significant role in sustaining terrestrial moisture flows (TMF). Yet, understanding of how they contribute to regional hydrological cycles remains limited. Building on a global-scale study suggesting a buffering role of IPL in West African precipitation during the dry season, this
This study examines the relationship between four dimensions of psychological capital (PsyCap) and nascent entrepreneurial activity among Ukrainian refugees residing in European host countries. Specifically, it analyzes how internally and externally sourced fear of failure moderates this relationship, focusing on the psychological and emotional barriers that may limit refugees’ entrepreneurial
Canopy cover is widely recognized as an important factor for mitigating extreme heat events in cities. The EU Regulation on Nature Restoration further emphasizes this, requiring urban areas to increase their canopy cover. However, the vertical complexity of urban trees is another significant factor for cooling, and moreover beneficial for biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to investigate t
In academic and political discourse, Vivir Bien has emerged as an Indigenous vision of wellbeing in harmony with community and nature. This thesis examines how ecological and economic priorities are negotiated in the pursuit of Vivir Bien within the Indigenous Autonomy of Charagua Iyambae, Bolivia. Focusing on the Guaraní cosmovision of Yaiko Kavi Päve (‘to live well’), the study explores how loca
Future hydrological droughts in reservoir-regulated regions remain uncertain due to the complex interactions between climate change and reservoir operation. Existing studies usually rely on simplified empirical representations of historical reservoir operations and rarely consider the role of optimal reservoir operation policies. Here, we used the upper Hanjiang River basin (UHRB) in China as a ca
Integrating sustainability into the core business strategy remains a significant challenge faced by many companies. This study explores how an integrated sustainability strategy (ISS) unfolds by examining the organizational and cross-functional conditions that enable or constrain the implementation, the operational tensions that emerge along this process, and the dynamic managerial capabilities (D
Aims: To describe healthcare professionals’ interactions with pediatric patients at an adult ICU. Methods: This non-participant naturalistic observational study was conducted at two adult ICUs in Sweden. Inclusion criteria were children aged 0–15 years, where both the child and the parent could speak and understand Swedish or English. Children undergoing palliative care were excluded. The observat
Purpose: This study explores how slow living is given meaning within online communities. It focuses on how people understand slow living in relation to everyday experiences of time pressure, digital distraction, and the feeling of constantly needing to keep up. Research question: How do online communities construct and negotiate the meaning of slow living in relation to the pressures of accelerat

Background: Few studies have investigated the 24-hour symptom profile in patients with COPD or how symptoms during the 24-hour day are inter-related. This observational study assessed the prevalence, severity and relationship between night-time, early morning and daytime COPD symptoms and explored the relationship between 24-hour symptoms and other patient-reported outcomes. Methods: The study enr
High latitude organic soils form a significant carbon storage and deposition of these soils is largely driven by climate. Svalbard, Norway, has experienced millennial-scale climate variations and in general organic soil processes have benefitted from warm and humid climate phases while cool late Holocene has been unfavourable. In addition to direct effect of cool climate, the advancing glaciers ha
BACKGROUND: Avian beta-defensins (AvBDs) represent a group of innate immune genes with broad antimicrobial activity. Within the chicken genome, previous work identified 14 AvBDs in a cluster on chromosome three. The release of a second bird genome, the zebra finch, allows us to study the comparative evolutionary history of these gene clusters between from two species that shared a common ancestor
OBJECTIVES--Sick building syndrome (SBS) involves symptoms such as irritation to the eyes, skin, and upper airways, headache, and fatigue. The relations between such symptoms and both personal and environmental factors were studied in 225 female hospital workers, working in eight hospital units in the south of Sweden. METHODS--Symptoms of SBS and personal factors were measured by means of a standa
This thesis aims to analyze the methods of existing studies on the relationship be- tween energy intensity and economic variables. I study panel data from 42 countries to examine the cointegration between energy intensity and GDP, capital stock, pop- ulation, and CO2 emissions as well as estimate their relationship with a pooled common correlated effects (CCEP) estimator. Then I investigate the he
Motivated by bridging the dichotomy between photography and science, this thesis considers how the selected group of scholar-practitioners view the role of critical environmental photography. Particularly, it surveys whether they think it can be used as a tool for raising awareness of environmental issues and whether it’s significant enough to encourage collaboration between photography and scienc
The current study investigated if perceived sport enjoyment, competence, autonomy, relatedness, and motivation would be able to predict leader-member exchange (LMX) quality. Participants (N = 89) were adolescence athletes, aged 15 to 18, participating in organized team sports, namely basketball, handball, and football. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used and the variables measure
