The forest contributes multiple services, among others renewable materials, carbon sequestration, and recreational value. This thesis studied the effects on forestry stemming from the revised Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry regulation. The question is how reduced logging, which is in line with the new regulation, affects social welfare when incorporating the benefits of ecosystem services.
We applied a hybrid approach to estimate the benchmark dose (BMD) and the lower 95% confidence limit (BMDL) for cadmium-induced bone effects in a population with low environmental exposure. Morning urine samples were collected by 794 Swedish women, aged 53-64 years, participating in a population-based study We measured urinary cadmium (U-Cd), a marker of long-term exposure, and bone mineral densit
Sverige har Europas näst högsta narkotikadödlighet trots en nolltolerans mot droger. När resten av Europa införde skadereducerande program gick Sverige emot strömmen och tillät inga åtgärder som inte innebar en helt drogfri samhällsbild. Vad var orsaken till att Sverige inte gjorde som andra europeiska länder? Fick moralpanik och populism väga tyngre än vetenskap och forskning? I denna uppsats undSweden has the second highest drug-induced mortality rate in Europe despite having a zero-tolerance policy against drugs. When the rest of Europe introduced harm reduction programs, Sweden went against the trend and banned every policy which didn’t include a vision of a completely drug free community. What caused Sweden not to follow the example of other european countries? Did moral panic and pop
Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi
The lignin-inspired derivatives coniferyl aldehyde and sinapyl aldehyde were used to prepare nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers with the aim to synthesize bio-based polymers exhibiting high glass transition temperatures (Tgs). The aldehydes were initially transformed to the corresponding nitriles and then underwent methacrylation before being polymerised by free-radical polymerisation. The h
Detta är en kvalitativ studie, vars syfte är att synliggöra socialarbetares upplevelser av digitala klientmöten. Våra intervjupersoner bestod av fyra frivårdsinspektörer från Frivården och tre socialsekreterare från Socialtjänsten, alla inom utredningsenheten. Intervjupersonernas medverkan har bidragit med kunskap inom forskningsområdet. Resultaten har analyserats med hjälp av tidigare forskning sThis is a qualitative study; whose purpose is to illuminate the experiences of the social workers within the digital client meetings. Our interviewees consisted of four probation inspectors from the probation service and three social secretaries from the social services, all within the investigation unit. The participation of the interviewees has contributed to knowledge within the research area.
Swinging feminity, A study of chick flick genre In this paper I attempt to study different characterizations of chick flicks in Europe and USA. The study consists of a theoretical part in which I study various aspects of chick flick. Characteristics, definition, presumptions and history of the genre are in focus in this part. I will then discuss the genre’s relation to feminism and post-feminism c
In Sweden as well as in The Netherlands energy policy is increasingly aiming at extending the use of renewable sources. In accordance with the targets of the European Union, both countries have formulated national targets for the year 2020. For wind energy these targets are 30.0 TWh of electricity in Sweden and a total installed capacity of 10.0 GW in The Netherlands. Wind is an inflexible, variab
This paper investigates whether the German Stock is efficient or not, i.e. whether there is a way to systematically beat the market. Within this framework momentum strategies with formation and holding periods over 3- to 12-month horizons are applied on the CDAX. The results do not show clear signs of market inefficiencies. While momentum strategies were successful in 67% of the cases, the winner
In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a
As novel, anti-amyloid therapies have become more widely available, access to timely and accurate diagnosis has become integral to ensuring optimal treatment of patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma biomarkers are a promising tool for identifying AD pathology; however, several technical and clinical factors need to be considered prior to their implementation in routine clinica
Steric clashes pose a challenge when exploring dense protein systems using conventional explicit-chain methods. A minimal example is a single lattice protein confined on a minimal grid, with no free sites. Finding its minimum energy is a hard optimization problem, with similarities to scheduling problems. It can be recast as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem amenable to
This study presents a transformative advancement in water-energy nexus management by developing a hydrostatic pressure wheel (HPW) system that simultaneously optimizes water level regulation and hydropower generation in open-channel irrigation systems (OCISs)—a dual functionality not achieved by existing technologies. While conventional waterwheels focus solely on energy production, our HPW design
Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin
Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en
