In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl. CMES researcher Lina Eklund fears that a dry summer could lead to further fires with catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences. Physical geographer Lina Eklund, wh

Geofysiska mätmetoder kan tids- och kostnadseffektivt skapa tvådimensionella (2D) och tredimensionella (3D) modeller som avspeglar geologin och som kan användas som ett verktyg för kartläggning av grundvattentillgångar. I denna studie har fyra profiler belägna i den s.k. Vombsänkan i sydöstra Skåne undersökts med galvanisk resistivitetsmätning (ERT) och Transient Elektronmagnetisk Sondering (TEM)Geophysical methods can create 2D- and 3D-models that reflects the geology. These models can be used as a tool for mapping groundwater resources. Four profiles, located in Vombsänkan in southeastern Skåne, have been investigated with Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and ground-based Transient Electromagnetic Soundings (TEM) as a study of the two methods. The resistivity profiles from the g

Problem definition: In recent years, Kalmar has received an increased number of requests and indications from the market concerning automated solutions in the industry. In the paper industry this is mainly caused by the increased costs in the customer's key processes that possibly could be reduced by fully automated solutions. However, there is currently no clear view of the market potential a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Maria Frederika Malmström defended her thesis in Social Anthropology at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg, in 2009. Now she is back to talk about her new book. Since then she has continued her thought-provoking research and teaching on Egypt and the broader MENA region – working as a lecturer and

The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. Increasing unsuitable living conditions due to unpredictable weather patterns and increased number of extreme events are putting pressure on the so

SWEAH PhD student Ana Sabsil, Karolinska Institutet, is home again after one week’s research visit to the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, THL, in Helsinki, financed by SWEAH travel grant. During the visit, she worked on data analysis at the THL offices every day, that gave her the opportunity to meet many colleagues involved in the trial of the MET-FINGER study, Multidomain Lifestyle Int

This thesis is a concept study performed at Caran AB by order of Volvo Car Corporation, VCC. The background is a market research performed by VCC. From the research, a need for a product that facilitates reaching the trunk level in Volvo’s SUV, XC90, was recognized. It was also found, that dogs seem to find it difficult to get up in the trunk, why dogs have been accounted for during the developmen

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Skåne är till stor del täckt av sedimentära, avlagrade bergarter t.ex. sandsten och kalksten, samt mycket yngre istidsavlagringar. Den kristallina berggrunden i Skåne utgör grunden för sedimenten och bildades huvudsakligen för mer än 1200 miljoner år sedan. Denna berggrund är bara synlig i de stora nordvästriktade horstar (åsar), som utgör ett markant drag i SkåThe Precambrian crystalline basement in Skåne only outcrops in the large NW striking Horsts that are roughly parallel to the Tornquist Zone. In the south-easternmost part of the Linderödsåsen Horst in SE Skåne, the Stenshuvud porphyritic granitoids previously considered to be Palaeoproterozoic volcanic rocks, have been recently dated to 1458 Ma. This indicates that these rocks are coeval with the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med snabbare och pålitligare analysresultat finns stora möjligheter till ett ökat utnyttjande av avfallsresurser för produktion av förnybar energi. Resultat från min forskning gör det möjligt att analysera råvaror för biogasproduktion med större säkerhet och med möjligheten att få upp till nio gånger snabbare resultat. Produktion av biogas har under den senaste tiden öA sustainable treatment of organic wastes, generation of renewable energy, reduction of green house gas emissions, limiting the eutrophication and closing the nutrient cycles are several environmental challenges for which anaerobic digestion may be a suitable solution. There is today a large amount of available organic waste materials that could serve as potential feedstock for biogas production.

The thesis is a broad attempt to analyse economic forces behind, and economic rationales for, institutions that constrain the organisation and operation of insurance companies. The basic task is threefold: (i) to develop institutional theory by providing an outline of a transaction cost explanation of the origin of, and the rationale for, institutions that constrain the organisation and the operat

Aerosol particles have, since Classical Antiquity, been linked to adverse effects on human health. It is estimated that the particles in urban air pollution causes 100 000 deaths in Europe each year, whereof 5 000 in Sweden. These figures do not include the outcomes of indoor sources or smoking, which shortens the lives of millions of people worldwide. Many studies indicate that fine particles (<2

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det tillgängliga frekvensutrymmet i trådlösa kommunikationssystem, så som trådlösa datornätverk, är mycket begränsat. Detta tillsammans med den ökande trafikmängden skapar problem. Nya möjligheter finns dock i och med att det finns stora mängder bandbredd som är licensfri för användning. Ökad bandbredd möjliggör också ökad datahastighet. Det tillgängliga frekvensbandet The available bandwidth in wireless communication systems, such as the 802.11 family, is very limited. Together with the ever increasing data traffic, this causes problems. New possibilities are, however, available thanks to wide license-free bandwidth allocated at higher frequencies. Increased available bandwidth enables higher data rates in future radio systems that will be capable of Giga-bit/s
