To provide a complete portrayal of the multiple factors negatively impacting insects in agricultural landscapes it is necessary to assess the concurrent incidence, magnitude, and interactions among multiple stressors over substantial biogeographical scales. Trans-national ecological field investigations with wide-ranging stakeholders typically encounter numerous challenges during the design planni

Flash droughts, as sub-seasonal phenomena, are characterized by their rapid onset and significant impact on terrestrial ecosystems. However, understanding how vegetation responds to flash droughts and the mechanisms governing vegetation recovery remains elusive. Here, we analysed the response of vegetation productivity to flash droughts and identified the most relevant drivers controlling vegetati

Human-induced impacts are increasing pressure on coastal ecosystems, particularly on benthic ecosystems in high-latitude regions. It has become evident that three of the greatest marine environmental challenges related to anthropogenic activity are warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. The effect of these environmental changes on our uncertain future has created a need to understand the

The Vimmerby Moraine is the only significant ice-marginal moraine on the eastern side of southern Sweden, but no detailed studies exist on its formation during the final deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet. Through ground-penetrating radar surveys and detailed sediment logging, we provide evidence for an active, oscillating ice margin during the formation of the Vimmerby Moraine, suggestin

The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a

Abonnentväxlar, eller private branch exchanges, har använts av företag för att nå ut till kunder i över 40 år. Över tid har systemen utvecklats från stora manuella växlar till molnbaserade internetlösningar. Trots teknisk utveckling upplever många kunder som ringer telefonsupport idag frustration över att inte nå den person de söker. Som en del i Telavox satsning på virtuella abonnentväxlar utfors

Sweden have been under a lot of economic, political, and social pressure after the refugee crisis that occured 2015. Unanswered questions from the government made many citizens question the work that they do regarding the refugees in Sweden. A hot topic broke out when different media outlets spoke harshly against the Moroccan unaccompanied refugee boys and the criminal activities they commit. Thei

I den senaste versionen av kommunikationsprotokollet Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3), introducerades en funktion som möjliggör att sessioner återupptas i ``zero round-trip time'' (översatt: noll tur- och returtid, förkortat 0-RTT) vilket innebär att snabbare uppkoppling är möjlig eftersom krypterad applikationsdata kan skickas redan med det första dataflödet från klient till server. För

The increase in crime is a high-profile problem area within the criminal policy debate in Sweden. Most political parties present stricter penalties as a possible solution. It is regulated by Swedish law how inmates shall, during their imprisonment, receive support in order to successfully reintegrate into society upon their release. This is in order to not relapse into crime. At the same time, for

Intresseområdet som la grunden för studien baseras på våra egna tankar om att upprätthålla ett musikerskap i kombination med vårt framtida arbete som musiklärare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka musiklärares uppfattningar kring deras eget musikerskap i kombination med en musiklärargärning. Fyra forskningsfrågor utformades för att genom intervjustudie samt enkät kartlägga uppfattningarna kring The topic of the study was inspired from our own ambitions of maintaining a musicianship in combination with our future profession as music teachers. The purpose of the study was to research music teachers’ perception of their own musicianship in combination with their work in schools. The empirical framework consists of four questions that through interview study and a survey aim to map out music

The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om takvolym är analogt tillämpligt på dynamiska inköpssystem. De senaste åren har prejudikat förändrat synen på vad som maximalt kan avropas inom ett ramavtal. Det skapar följdfrågor om takvolym kan tillämpas analogt på dynamiska inköpssystem, vilket är uppsatsens huvudsakliga fråga. Uppsatsen kommer att börja med att introducera upphandling i stora drThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibility of applying “ceiling volume” onto a dynamic purchasing system. Ceiling volume means the requirement to specify a maximum volume of supplies or services. In recent years legal cases have changed the view of the maximum volume that can be awarded during a given period within a framework agreement. A question has now been raised as to whethe

Denna uppsats undersöker det framväxande förhållandet mellan geografiska beteckningar (Geographical Indications, GI) och varumärken inom EU-lagstiftningen, med särskilt fokus på den rättsliga utvecklingen som mynnat ut i förordning 2024/1143. Även om både GI och varumärken utgör immate-riella rättigheter, tjänar de olika syften. Varumärken skyddar främst privata kommersiella intressen och företagsThis thesis explores the evolving relationship between geographical indica-tions (GIs) and trademarks within European Union (EU) law, with a particu-lar focus on the legal developments culminating in Regulation 2024/1143. While both GIs and trademarks are forms of intellectual property, they serve different purposes. Trademarks primarily protect commercial brand identity, while GIs are recognised

I Skellefteå kommun pågår en unik samhällsomvandling och befolkningsutveckling. Sedan etableringen av batterifabriken Northvolt år 2018 har tusentals arbetare från andra delar av världen på kort tid flyttat till kommunen. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur tjänstepersoner i offentlig sektor ser på utmaningar och möjligheter i samhällsomvandlingen ur ett socialt hållbarhetsperspektiv. The establishment of Northvolt's megafactory in Skellefteå has led to an influx of thousands of foreign workers and a unique transformation of the local community. This study explores how local public officials perceive challenges and opportunities through the lens of social sustainability. Four semi-structured interviews reveal that the public officials tell of a fast-paced transformation and

Uppsatsen analyserar samspelet mellan rätten till dataportabilitet enligt EU:s dataskyddsförordning (GDPR) med skyddet för företagshemligheter enligt företagshemlighetsdirektivet. Syftet är att undersöka hur dess två regelverk påverkar varandra och hur en balans kan uppnås mellan individens rätt till sin data och företagens behov av att skydda känslig information. Uppsatsen klargör vad rätten tillThe thesis analyzes the interplay between the right to data portability under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the protection of trade secrets under the Trade Secrets Directive. The aim is to examine how these two frameworks interact with each other and how a balance can be achieved between an individual's right to their data and the need for businesses to protect sensitive

Syftet är att redogöra för innebörden av bestämmelsens rekvisit, med fördjupning i vad som avses med ordinär betalning och hur det bedöms om en betalning är att anse som ordinär eller ej. Materialet i denna uppsatThis essay intends to investigate and to describe the conditions for recovery of payment of a debt according to chapter 4 § 10 KonkL and to highlight how the regulation is usually interpreted and applied. The purpose is to explain the meaning of the provision's requisites, with an in-depth look at what is meant by ordinary payment and how it is assessed whether a payment is to be regarded as o

Incubation temperature affects both growth and energy metabolism in birds after hatching. Changes in cellular mechanisms, including mitochondrial function, are a likely but unexplored explanation for these effects. To test whether temperature-dependent changes to mitochondria may link embryonic development to the post-natal phenotype, we incubated Japanese quail eggs at constant low (36.0°C), medi

Resource provisioning for applications hosted in the cloud is a difficult task due to inherent performance variability in the infrastructure. Control theory has proven to be an efficient tool to increase the predictability of cloud applications. However, a prerequisite for a successful control design is an adequate model of the involved dynamics. In this paper we focus on modeling of controlled se

Global warming is expected to transfer carbon from soil organic matter to atmospheric CO 2, with microbial communities playing a crucial role in regulating this exchange. While the immediate impact of temperature on microbial functions is well understood and causes soil carbon losses, the long-term response remains unclear, with losses stabilising over time, reducing the overall effect of chronic
