Now extinct, the aurochs (Bos primigenius) was a keystone species in prehistoric Eurasian and North African ecosystems, and the progenitor of cattle (Bos taurus), domesticates that have provided people with food and labour for millennia1. Here we analysed 38 ancient genomes and found 4 distinct population ancestries in the aurochs—European, Southwest Asian, North Asian and South Asian—each of whicNow extinct, the aurochs (Bos primigenius) was a keystone species in prehistoric Eurasian and North African ecosystems, and the progenitor of cattle (Bos taurus), domesticates that have provided people with food and labour for millennia1.

This case study investigates what role the government decisions and policies have for deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. The decisions and policies are part of the immediate causes of deforestation, which exists in a theoretical framework that I have developed. This theoretical framework constitutes of three levels: underlying causes, immediate causes and sources, which lead to deforestation.

Climate change is a problem. The power sector will bear the brunt of decarbonisation. The most cost effective pathways of achieving deep decarbonisation involve a diverse portfolio of energy technologies. A considerable body of theory suggests that the composition of finance can influence not only the rate but the direction of technical change by selecting technologies with certain economic charac

In Swedish today, du (‘you’) is sometimes used with generic reference. This use of generic du is often claimed to be a new invention, triggered by English influence in the late 20th century. However, in this article an analysis of occurrences of du from the period 1225–2013 is presented that demonstrates that generic du was used even as early as the Old Swedish period (1225–1526), i.e. long beforeIn Swedish today, du (‘you’) is sometimes used with generic reference.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is prominent to stay within the 1.5-degree limit outlined in the Paris Agreement. For this to occur, the socio-technical energy system needs to become more flexible and support decentralized systems. One way to do this, as advocated by the European Union as well, is to support local energy initiatives. This paper examines how different local energy initiatives

Ambitions and ClarificationsThe book takes its point of departure in the "intimate visions of society" that are significant of contemporary social life. This concept refers to the tendency to apprehend good social relations as personal, close and warm, while bad relations correspondingly are perceived as impersonal, cold, distant and alienated. Exemplary categories, such as closeness, warmth, commAmbitions and ClarificationsThe book takes its point of departure in the "intimate visions of society" that are significant of contemporary social life.

Summary This thesis is a study which primary objective is to examine the court´s risk assessment in legal custody, and contact disputes when a child is at risk of being harmed. My thesis also includes an interdisciplinary perspective to give a more detailed understanding of the process – of which consequences it entails if authorities and courts don´t make reliable risk assessments. Physical, psyc

The shift towards more environmentally friendly means of transportation is a pivotal change that needs to be made, to save the environment. The transportation sector alone constitutes roughly a third of all greenhouse emissions in Sweden, making it one of the leading contributors to all greenhouse gases. With ever-growing climate awareness, the idea of adopting a greener approach to protect the pl

This is a comparative study of China, Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia, from an EU perspective. The EU imposed arms’ embargoes on China, Iran and Russia for reasons such as democratic concerns and military aggrandisement, the purpose of this study is therefor to find explanations to why the EU have not imposed arms’ embargoes on Saudi Arabia, a state who have arguably committed similar acts as the ot

The thesis aims to explain to the development of the European Court of Justice into a constitutional court. The transformation of ECJ into a de facto constitutional court is studied using three perspectives, constitutionalism, neofunctionalism and by a judicial activism perspective. By using the three mentioned theories it’s made possible to understand the court’s development from a political and

In this master thesis it's concluded that Swedish municipalities performs various traffic data collections in recurring measurement points annually and beside those complementing measurements are done at additional areas of interest. The study shows that most often traditional measurement methods, like pneumatic tubes, are used since they are considered reliable and accurate. Pneumatic tubes,
