Detta är den trettonde årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationellt miljö-övervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket sedan 2010. Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Entomologiska Förening, Naturvårdsverket, Lunds universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelserna.

Klimatet förändras på ett sätt som gör förlusterna mer påtagliga. Människor och platser i det globala syd vars ekonomier och försörjning på landsbygden är centrerade kring mark och naturresurser anses vara särskilt sårbara för klimatförändringar och förväntas uppleva oproportionerligt stora klimatrelaterade förluster. Bevisen för sådana oproportionerliga bördor och de orättvisor de leder till växeThe climate is changing in ways that make loss more present. People and places in the Global South whose economies and rural livelihoods are centred on land and natural resources are considered particularly vulnerable to climate change and are expected to disproportionately experience climate-related loss. Evidence of such disproportionate burdens and the injustices they engender is growing and ga
The aim of this study was to determine plasma levels of three adhesion molecules that may contribute to the development of diabetic retinopathy; soluble endothelial selectin (sE-selectin), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), in young adults, aged 15-34 years at diagnosis of diabetes, to find potential predictors for developm
Loss of biodiversity is an immediate threat to the planet and if no actions are taken it is expected to accelerate. The highest species richness on smaller scale is found in semi-natural temperate grasslands, with one of the documented records from Stora Alvaret on Öland, Sweden. The area is protected under the Natura 2000-network and Länstyrelsen Kalmar are responsible for monitoring while local
Based on the extensive criticism surrounding the victimization of women in the women, peace and security agenda discourse, this essay seeks to analyze the discourse after the adaption of resolution 2122, a widely recognized step in the direction to focus more on women’s participation. The aim of the study is thus to analyze the discourse around women’s participation and agency on a global and nati
Public transport and health care constitute the top two priorities for regional authorities in Sweden. Being cost-efficient in the execution of these services is important, not only to lower the costs but also to reach maximum social benefits for the available funding. In sectors like these, where the value of what is produced is not solely measured through the consumers’ willingness to pay, maxim
Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved
The lack of accountability for human rights violations arising out of the activities of multinational enterprises has been identified as a key impediment to the fulfillment of universal human rights and the corresponding access to remedy for victims. However, the last couple of years have witnessed an increasing movement to bridge the accountability gap on the national and international level. Th
Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum
Objectives: Romania joined to European Union (EU) in 2007. Consequently, the number of EU citizens of Roma descent increased in Sweden as the movement of freedom was granted. This study attempts to understand the conceptualisation and reason for underreporting hate crimes in Malmö, Sweden. Methods: Qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured interview and participant observation were e
In recent years, the drawbacks of parallel systems in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) have been acknowledged in professional and academic communities, where the need for integration of the two fields in connection to development has been stressed. In this regard, the concept of resilience as an antithesis of risks has also been considered. In this study, a scoping
Den snabba tekniska utvecklingen rörande artificiell intelligens öppnar upp för många juridiska frågor, inte minst vad rör upphovsrätt. I syfte att kunna gene-rera material med hjälp av artificiell intelligens krävs det att tillhandahållare av AI har tillgång till stora mängder data, för att kunna träna upp dessa till att producera resultat som efterliknar mänskliga verk. Frågan som därigenom uppsThe rapid technological development of artificial intelligence gives rise to nu-merous legal issues, particularly concerning intellectual property. For artificial intelligence to generate material, it must be trained on human-created works to produce results that resemble such. This process requires access to large vol-umes of data, often sourced from the internet and large databases. The ques-tio
The Swedish rules for closely held companies were enacted to combat income conversion abuse in limited liability companies where natural persons acted as both owners and employees. In the Swedish Income Tax Act, employment income is taxed according to a progressive rate while capital income is taxed according to a flat rate. The wage remuneration rule may increase the amount of dividend that the a
This thesis is concerned with history within Nick Clegg’s and Nigel Farage’s political discourse during the six months leading up to the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union. Using Thematic Analysis combined with Klas-Göran Karlsson’s typology of the use of history, Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narrative and drawing on the theoretical framework of histori
The EU has over the years tried to implement a common European identity to legitimize its increased sovereignty in Europe. In present time, nationalist movements have been assembling in European countries which seem to contradict the aimed effect of the European identity. This thesis examines the outspoken nationalist group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament and how they portray the
Lithuania like other Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries has undergone major changes from the communist socio-economic order to the system based on democratic capitalism. This shift towards market economy and the collapse of communist ideology were also reflected in higher education (HE) reforms. Since political parties are the main actors in modern democracies, partisan politics could in
Around the world, the treatment of food waste is a major administrative and environmental problem throughout the food supply chain. Beijing, as any other mega city, is facing vast issues of sustainable food waste treatment in addition to efforts for food waste reduction. Presently the majority of Beijing's food waste is treated together with the mixed residual waste in landfills (53%) and inci
Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a complex solution for Saskatchewan’s energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources. As Saskatchewan predominantly relies on fossil fuels for its electricity needs, the consideration of SMRs by SaskPower is in hopes of decreasing carbon emissions and maintaining energy security. SMRs offer several advantages, including modularity, grid stabilit
