Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
Recently heavy rainfall frequency in Kyushu Island, the southwestern part of Japan, during the rainy season, has been increasing due to possibly climate change, global warming. Owing to the recent increase of heavy rainfall frequency, natural disasters related to heavy rainfall including flooding and landslides have occurred and caused serious damages to infrastructures and human lives. Therefore,
Research on trade unions ability to influence EU policies has mainly addressed the issues trade unions faces internally such as cultural, linguistic and ideological differences. This thesis extends the research on trade unions ability to influence EU policies by analysing what external factors that has to be present if trade unions shall be able to prevent liberalisation in the context of the Euro
MRI can be used as an non-invasive method to map the brain. By correlating diffusion with relaxation it is possible to separate different tissue kinds such as white matter, grey matter and free water. In this work we look at how to bin the data to best separate the tissues. By modifying the bin limits in Diso, Dperp / Dparallel, \DDelta and R2 it will be shown that there is not a single optimal
Costa Rica is one of Latin America’s pioneers in terms of steady economic growth, environmental protection, and educational spending. Yet behind this general perception, the country faces structural problems, like high inequality levels and sky-rocketing youth unemployment, indicating rather exclusive development pattern. In order to tackle these challenges, the government places high hopes in the
Ecological rehabilitation projects - as a form of reforestation interventions - are increasing worldwide and present an opportunity for climate change mitigation and supporting local livelihoods.

The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140.

Thus, social integration
Over the last century, Swedish forests have undergone rapid land-use change due to intensification of management practices for timber production and the introduction of monocultures, which have resulted in considerable habitat loss and negative impacts to biodiversity. Insects form a significant component of forest biodiversity, yet forest-dwelling pollinators remain understudied, and little is kn
The industrial sector in Sweden accounted for 38 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2019. As the world’s focus has shifted drastically on energy consumption, the industry sector’s has as well due to energy initiatives and government-driven regulations. The energy issue is currently of great relevance for energy-intensive industries where enormous potential remains due to factors
Analysis of alternative splicing has provided valuable information for multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer in recent years. Alternative splicing has been suggested to be one of the hallmarks for cancer, as dysregulation of the normal splicing process governs many aspects of cancer cell biology. For several genes previously associated with cancer, specific variants and their effect on
Brand activism has emerged as a prevalent phenomenon where brands engage in socio-political issues to differentiate themselves and build stakeholder resonance. Despite its growing prominence, research on brand activism is limited, particularly in relation to brand positioning. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore how a newly launched brand engaging in socio-political agendas communicates

Again, the current access goal in energy ignored the gender perspective of access. There is no alternative to establishing women-led solar energy enhancement initiatives to mitigate those access barriers and equally address gender inequality in
