This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Properly managed, the agricultural sector in Europe can contribute to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving food security, reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity. But new research shows that indicators to measure key SDGs such as health and equality are entirely missing fro
This chapter explores the role of placed-based relational entanglements in disasters and argues that relations play an important part in shaping how disasters unfold. Exploring the case of mining-induced displacement in Sweden’s Malmfälten region—where two cities, Kiruna and Malmberget, and several villages are being moved or razed to make way for expanding mines—the chapter demonstrates how a str

Informetric/bibliometric analyses have to a large extent been relying on an assumption that research is essentially cumulative in its nature, which is not the least visible in the rational for using citation analyses to assess quality of research. However, when reviewing both the theoretical literature on how research is organized and studies analyzing the structures of research fields through inf
The aim of this thesis is to make it simple and efficient to produce applications for smartphones. The main area of application is within the health care sector, where alarm receiving devices are needed to inform personnel of pending situations. Most medical alarm systems are unique and hence require a unique GUI (Graphical User Interface). However, at the core, the main functionality is to commun
The literature reveals an importance of social work in relation to all phases of crisis and disaster (Desai, 2007; IASSW 2010) and a potential to strengthen its role further (UNISDR 2015; Dominelli, 2012). Yet, little is known as regards the Swedish context. Given the centrality of municipalities in the emergency system and Social Services as a central municipal assignment it could be expected to
The subject of this thesis is to ascertain the task of the public library in Swedish society today according to the employer, that is the State and the municipalities, and according to the public library itself. The thesis also tries to establish as to what extent these different actors share the same view of the task. To this purpose I have studied the library law, the target reports of municipal
Purpose The purpose of the report is to look into the effect of changing from air shipments to sea shipments at Tetra Pak Technical Service AB and the economical and environmental impact of such a change on the supply chain. Methodology The report is carried out by collecting the data regarding the different transportation modes in interviews with responsible persons within Tetra Pak and the trans
This thesis concerns the last decade’s considerable decline in western European night train traffic. First, the context of the study is presented with a brief overview of climate challenges, liberalization of the railway market within the European Union and theoretical aspects of demand for night train traffic. A historical overview of night train traffic in general is made, whereafter several fac
During the past few decades, the Swedish spatial planning system has experienced numerous problems and challenges. In particular, there have been changes in legislation and an increased neoliberalisation of planning that gives private actors a larger influence over the planning processes in Sweden. In this article, we analyse these changes through the lenses of collaborative and neoliberal planninDuring the past few decades, the Swedish spatial planning system has experienced numerous problems and challenges.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar storlekskarakterisering av stora molekyler (polymerer) med en ny teknik, nämligen flödesfältflödesfraktionering (flödesFFF). Det aktuella storleksområdet som studerats i avhandlingen är intervallet mellan några få nanometer(nm) upp till en halv mikrometer (um). Storleksbestämningen med flödesFFF baseras på en separation av material med olika dSize, as expressed by molar mass, radius of gyration or hydrodynamic radius, for example, is a fundamental parameter of polymers in solution. Thus, there is a strong need for the characterisation of both the size and shape of polymers, particularly of those utilised in various industrial applications. In this thesis, a relatively novel technique, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (flow FF
North Hoy is an area containing a remarkable diversity of vegetation in a small area. A phytosociological account of the hill vegetation of North Hoy is presented, making use of an ordination method to clarify the inter‐relationships of the moorland vegetation types, as well as traditional methods. It has proved very interesting to compare the vegetation with the account of Scottish Highland veget
