Soil and water acidification was internationally recognised as a severe environmental problem in the late 1960s. The interest in establishing “critical loads” led to a peak in weathering research in the 1980s and 1990s, since base cation weathering is the long-term counterbalance to acidification pressure. Assessments of weathering rates and associated uncertainties have recently become an area of
Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is common in adolescents, and it has been shown that adolescents with pain may become young adults with pain. Pain often coincides with psychosomatic symptoms in adults, but little is known about longitudinal associations and predictors of pain in adolescents. The aim was to investigate chronic musculoskeletal pain and its associations with health status, s
Remote sensing-derived cropland products have depicted the location and extent of agricultural lands with an ever increasing accuracy. However, limited attention has been devoted to distinguishing between actively cropped fields and fallowed fields within agricultural lands, and in particular so in grass fallow systems of semi-arid areas. In the Sahel, one of the largest dryland regions worldwide,
For me, life in this city begins and ends with artist-initiated networks, where energies and programmes are constantly opening and ending, keeping pace with the rate at which artist’s studios are closed and relocated. These networks establish where work is developed, shown, or both, and they affirm what is missing as much as what is made. The affective affinities that enable these associations als
Background Several pressing issues face municipal planners including increased land use and climate change. Managing these issues requires a balance between different actions to accommodate citizen’s demands of ecosystem services (ES) and development projects. The implementation of ES as a new tool for assessments needs to be contrasted by research considering existing tools such as Environmental
As smart and as stupid, as well- and ill-informed, as curious and closed-minded as any random sample, tourists represent a unique object of study, as they are “the last remaining class that exhibits consciousness for itself” (MacCannell, 2013 p.xix). Technology has been transforming the tourist experience deeply, as it both fulfils a functional purpose of performing tasks for humans, and it holds
Abstract in UndeterminedThis thesis consists of five self-contained chapters: Chapter 1:Effects of driving restrictions on air quality and car use in Bogota Rationing car use at certain times of the day based on license plate numbers has become a popular policy to address traffic congestion and air pollution in several cities around the world. This paper analyzes the effects of moderate and drasti
This dissertation about the utilization of applied social science is based on studies of research use in three different policy sectors - the social service, the building, and the working life sectors. In these studies some characteristics of the different policy sectors, like the distribution and exercise of power and control, was found to play a fundamental role in forming the patterns of resear
At the onset of the pandemic, Brazil’s Federal government approved an emergency basic income to be transferred to a variety of groups that had not earlier received any of the established welfare programs. Its implementation was however riddled with challenges. With a large informal economy, many Brazilian citizens were missing from the Federal Government’s registry and, even if registered, many di
Climate projections from global circulation models (GCMs), part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6), are often employed to study the impact of future climate on ecosystems. However, especially at regional scales, climate projections display large biases in key forcing variables such as temperature and precipitation. These biases have been identified as a major source of uncertai

I en allt mer energieffektiv värld så spelar allt fler av energiförlusterna allt större roll. Tidigare hade man samma förluster som idag från kanalsystemet men de totala förlusterna var större. När man nu har minskat andra förluster i huset får kanalför- lusterna en allt större betydelse i den totala energianvändningen, vilket leder till att det nu finns anledning att ta större hänsyn till dem. I To minimize energy losses becomes more and more important in a world where energy efficiency is a big priority and necessary if we want a future on our planet. The relative impact from ducting losses on the energy performance of the building was earlier so small that it was plausible to ignore them. Nowadays many of the other parts of the losses have been cut which means the air ducts now might st

The overall objective of this study was to investigate the social support provided by care managers to family caregivers of elderly adults receiving community based care under the Japanese Long-Term Care Insurance scheme. The study has explored such support from the perspective of the care manager, and in relation to the overall role of the care manager. As such, the following research questions h
Grundtanken med innovationsupphandling är att en upphandlande myndighet aktivt främjar nya lösningar. Konceptet består av följande delar: Först identifierar en upphandlande myndighet ett behov av en innovativ lösning. Därefter bedriver den upphandlande myndigheten ett strukturerat utvecklingsarbete för att utveckla en eller flera innovativa idéer som framstår som lösningar och köper slutligen in dThe background to Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) is a Procuring Agency’s active promotion of innovative solutions. PPI consists of the following parts: The Agency firstly formulates a need for an innovative solution to a certain problem. The agency then develops the innovative idea through a structured development process and, lastly, purchases the developed solution in order to both meet
Kan kompensationsprojekt rädda Madagaskars regnskog? Några av de globala utmaningar vi står inför för en hållbar värld är klimatförändringar, fattigdom och utrotning av arter. FN har storskaliga projekt, sponsrade av världsbanken, där de försöker lösa flera problem samtidigt. Ett pilotprojekt sker i östra Madagaskars artrika regnskog, Corridor Ankeniheny Zahamena. Ett stort område av skogen har sClimate change, deforestation and poverty are big threats for today’s society. One way the United Nations has chosen to combat this is through a project named REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). In short, REDD+ allows countries to be compensated if they change their way of using the forest into methods more likely to conserve the ecosystem and eliminate or minimiz
I takt med ökningen av internetrelaterade upphovsrättsintrång i form av olov-lig fildelning på internet har blockeringsförelägganden mot internetleverantö-rer fått en alltmer central roll som åtgärd.
