European forests have served as a critical carbon sink, absorbing approximately 10% of annual anthropogenic CO₂ emissions in the EU, as a result of both increased forest area and growing stock since 1950. However, this sink has declined by one-third over the past decade, based on the EU National Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This decline has been proposed to be due to multiple interacting factors: cli

Denna avhandling undersöker 1998 års svenska förbud mot sexköp utifrån den uppmärksamhet lagen fått som ett unikt tillvägagångssätt för att reglera prostitution, den starkt polariserade politiska miljö den existerar inom och de många juridiska motsägelser den uppvisar. Genom material insamlat genom en multisituerad metod mellan åren 2009 och 2019 visar studien att sexköpsförbudet är en variant av This essay thesis examines Sweden’s 1999 ban on purchasing sexual services, considering the attention it received as an unprecedented approach to governing prostitution, the highly polarised political environment in which it exists, and the multiple legal contradictions it displays. Using material gathered through a multisited method from 2009 through 2019, the study shows that the offence is a va

Background: International migration has been on the rise over the past few decades and is expected to remain high. Young people make up a significant proportion of those migrating. It has long been known that young people are at greater risk of sexual violence and there is growing evidence that migrants too, are particularly vulnerable. There is a lack of evidence on young migrants’ vulnerability

Anthropogenic changes to the environment expose wildlife to many pollutants. Among these, tropospheric ozone is of global concern and a highly potent pro-oxidant. In addition, human activities include several other implications for wildlife, e.g., changed food availability and changed distribution of pathogens in cities. These co-occurring habitat changes may interact, thereby modulating the physi

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

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

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

Background: Employment is a vital source for experiencing well-being and lowering the risk of long-term social marginalisation and poverty. For persons with alcohol and drug addiction, it may also improve sobriety. However, the unemployment situation for this group reflects the knowledge gap in effective interventions to support employment. While Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is recognise

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

It is argued that we live in a post-industrial society with a transition from the production of goods to services. It is also said we live in a knowledge economy where creation, distribution, use and manipulation of information are significant activities (Dahlbom, 2003). The word industrial has a connotation of mass-production of products and, logically also industrial design has this connotation.

Introduction In an age when brands have seized the imagination of so many, the corporate landscape has become a brandscape. Recently, corporate branding has emerged as an important agenda item for many senior executives. Brands are viewed as a significant corporate asset. The corporate brand is viewed as an important profile builder for corporations. It is seen as an invaluable tool for attracting

Bakgrund: ​Några av de viktigaste aspekterna att ta hänsyn till i vår nutid är att konsumera hållbart och minska mängden avfall vi efterlämnar. En del enskilda individer har börjat ta aktivt ansvar för sin egna miljöpåverkan och sociala medier har visat sig vara ett viktigt verktyg i att engagera sig i hållbarhet. Detta för att nå ut till andra, engagera dem, sprida medvetenhet och kommunicera medBackground: ​Some of the most important aspects to take into account in our present time are to consume sustainably and reduce the amount of waste we leave behind. Some individuals have begun to take active responsibility for their own environmental impact and social media has proved to be an important tool in engaging in sustainability to reach out to others and engage them, spread awareness and

Yrkeslegitimationen inom hälso- och sjukvården anses utgöra en garanti för att den enskilde yrkesutövaren besitter den kompetens och de personliga egenskaper som krävs för yrket i fråga. En yrkesutövare (t.ex. en läkare) som inte bedöms vara lämplig för att få fortsätta sin yrkesutövning ska enligt 8 kap. 3 § patientsäkerhetslagen (2010:659), PSL, få sin legitimation återkallad av Hälso- och sjukvThere is a presumption that holding a professional license within the health care sector guarantees that the health care practitioner has the appropriate competence and personal qualities that are required for the specific medical profession. A health care practitioner (e.g. a medical doctor) who is no longer considered to be suitable to perform health and medical services shall, in accordance wit

Lentic water bodies (lakes and reservoirs) offer favorable conditions for silica (SiO2) burial in sediments. Recent global estimates suggest that (1) lentic SiO2 trapping is a globally important SiO2 flux, and (2) through reservoir construction, humans have dramatically altered river dissolved SiO2 (DSi) transport and coastal DSi delivery. However, regional to global scale patterns and controls of

The main aim of this paper is to study land-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) for semi-arid savanna ecosystems of the Sahel region and its response to climatic and environmental change. A subsidiary aim is to study and quantify the seasonal dynamics in light use efficiency (epsilon) being a key variable in scaling carbon fluxes from ground observations using earth observation data.

Popular Abstract in Swedish När man hör ordet ”klimatförändringar” tänker många direkt på en förhöjd temperatur – så kallad global uppvärmning. Även om en förhöjd temperatur är en viktig del av framtida klimatförändringar så är det inte den enda förändringen vi kan förvänta oss. Sjöar på norra halvklotet och således även i Sverige har under de senaste årtiondena fått en ökad vattenfärg. Orsaken baThe effects of increasing temperatures, in light of climate change, have been a well-studied topic during the past decades. However, aquatic ecosystems are also faced with additional challenges such as increasing water colour, known as “brownification”. Although we know that temperature and water colour will increase simultaneously this has been given little attention in ecological research. In th
