Base cation weathering (BCw) rate is one of the most influential yet difficult to estimate parameters in the calculation of critical acid loads of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition for terrestrial systems. Only the clay correlation-substrate method, a simple empirical model, has been used for estimating BCw rates for forest ecosystems in the conterminous USA and may not be suitable for applic
Pinus sylvestris (tall) är en betydelsefull trädart i Sverige och Europa, både ekonomiskt och kulturellt sett. Trädet infekteras dock av den destruktiva rottickan (Heterobasidion spp.) vilket resulterar i stora ekonomiska förluster inom skogsindustrin, med en uppskattad monetär förlust på ca 800 miljoner EUR årligen i Europa. Det är svårt att upptäcka svampen i tidiga infektionsstadier eftersom inPinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is an important tree species in Sweden and Europe, both economically and culturally. However, the highly destructive root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp. infect P. sylvestris and cause major economic losses in the forest industry, estimated to about 800 million EUR annually in Europe alone. Detection of the fungus in early stages is hard, as the infection mainly stays i
This thesis examines the complex relationship between networking and resource mobilisation in the context of entrepreneurship. The study investigates the extent to which different types of ties, namely strong, weak and new ties, contribute to an entrepreneur's ability to acquire resources. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews with eight founders in Sweden and the Netherla
This thesis presents and analyses the results of the prime working age (25-65), divided into two diverse groups, 25-45 and 45-65, of licensed practical nurses (LPN) perceived occupational status in the Swedish home-care business. The purpose is to understand what influences the perception of two diverse age groups of licensed practical nurses occupational status, bringing nuance to the phenomenon,
The thesis project explores how emerging technologies and Al Voice Assistants can enhance user understanding of electric vehicles by offering more intuitive, adaptive, and immersive experiences. Users often face challenges understanding how to interact with their vehicle’s autonomous features effectively. This project focuses on bridging that gap by integrating interaction design with Al and eXten
We unbox developments in artificial intelligence (AI) to estimate how exposure to these developments affect firm-level labour demand, using detailed register data from Denmark, Portugal and Sweden over two decades. Based on data on AI capabilities and occupational work content, we develop and validate a time-variant measure for occupational exposure to AI across subdomains of AI, such as language
In this article I rethink international migration law by analysing the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) through a concrete-utopian lens. Starting from the premise that coloniality remains an active structure of the global order, I show how progressive legal projects often reproduce the hierarchies they seek to overcome. Combining Gary Wilder’s concrete utopianism with Ruth Levitas’s
Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this work was to study the incidence over time of lower extremity amputations and determine variables associated with increased risk of amputations in people with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Individuals with type 1 diabetes registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry with no previous amputation from 1 January 1998 and followed to 2 October 2019 were included. Tim
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Socialdemokraternas partiledare och statsminister Göran Persson och Moderaternas partiledare Bo Lundgren hanterar en debatt inför det stundande riksdagsvalet. För att uppfylla syftet analyseras valduellen ur ett retoriskt perspektiv med tre teorier. Dessa är retorisk situationsanalys för att klargöra Perssons och Lundgrens retoriska situation och hur de fö
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) arise from fluctuations in Earths magnetic field and can reach alarmingly high levels and cause malfunctions or blackouts in the power grids in which they occur. AF Klercker Alaküla and Lindahl invented a patented GIC immune transformer which eliminates the effects of GICs, though it is not known how this implementation will affect the transformers behavior
Randomised controlled trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data, including registries, electronic health records and administrative databases, are increasingly used in healthcare intervention research. A Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement extension for trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) has been developed with
Efter aktiveringen av Internationella brottmålsdomstolens jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet i juli 2018 är dessa gärningar för första gången sedan Nürnbergtribunalen möjliga att väcka åtal för i en internationell domstol. Aggressionsbrottet kan bara begås av personer i position att effektivt utöva kontroll över eller styra politiska eller militära handlingar av en stat. Detta inkluderar, men inFollowing the activation of the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in July 2018, these acts are for the first time since the Nuremberg Tribunal possible to prosecute before an international court. The crime of aggression may only be conducted by persons in a position effectively to exercise control over or direct the political or military action of a State. Th
Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis
Under 1990-talet bröt den före detta socialistiska federala republiken Jugoslavien upp längs sina republikers gränser, till stor del på grund av en ekonomisk och politisk kris, liksom en ökning av nationalism och etniska spänningar. Där olika nationaliteter och etniska grupper kämpade för att samexistera, och olösta etniska, nationalistiska och religiösa problem steg upp till ytan - försökte en se
Under vårterminen 2020 inträffade coronapandemin (Covid-19) vars effekter blev omfattande världen över. Lärare var en av de yrkesgrupper som behövde hitta nya vägar, inte minst ensemblelärare stod inför flera utmaningar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ensemblelärare i afroamerikansk tradition på gymnasie- och folkhögskolenivå, hanterade och upplevde övergången från närundervisning till diDuring spring of 2020 the corona pandemic (Covid -19) affected everyday life for people all over the world. Teachers had to find new ways to reach out to the students, ensemble teachers included. The purpose of this study is to look into how ensemble teachers within pop, rock and jazz genres handled and experienced the transition to distance education. The concept “the core of the ensemble subject
