Soil disturbance is recognized as an important driver of biodiversity in dry grasslands, and can therefore be implemented as a restoration measure. However, because community re-assembly following disturbance includes stochastic processes, a focus only on species richness or establishment success of particular species will not inform on how plant communities respond ecologically to disturbance. We
Aim Understanding what constituted species ranges prior to large-scale human influence, and how past climate and land use change have affected range dynamics, provides conservation planners with important insights into how species may respond to future environmental change. Our aim here was to reconstruct the Holocene range of European bison (Bison bonasus) by combining a time-calibrated species d
Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland is one of Sweden’s fifteen World Heritages. Climate change impacts affect the sites in different ways. Cycles of drought can result in increased risk of fire in areas surrounding settlement and the cultural heritage. During the fire in Västmanland in 2014 the World Heritage site of Engelsbergs Ironwork were in danger and became water bombed. The incident at Enge
Att länder anklagas för att bedriva otillåten underrättelseverksamhet under diplomatisk täckmantel är ett återkommande fenomen genom historien. Diplomati och underrättelseverksamhet har en lång och sammanflätad historia. Över tid har diplomatin och underrättelsetjänsterna haft ett ömsesidigt behov av varandras verksamheter. Institutionerna har samspelat, men också agerat som konkurrenter. ParallelCountries being accused of conducting clandestine intelligence activities under diplomatic cover is a recurring phenomenon throughout history. Diplomacy and intelligence have a long and intertwined history. Over time, diplomacy and intelligence services have had a mutual need for each other's activities, complementing each other but also acting as rivals in the professional field. The parallel

This paper seeks to provide an analytical framework for designing a more effective law enforcement for the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of children. The author has chosen to focus on a group of children particularly at risk in the society due to the lack of attention, namely accompanied children in the migration process. Out of a total of 1086 asylum seeking accompanied children arriv
Studien bygger på en komparativ rättsdogmatisk metod med en juridisk analys av lagtext, praxis och doktrin gällande dödshjälp i Sverige och Schweiz. Syf-tet med uppsatsen är att analyserar om den schweiziska modellen är kompati-bel med svensk rätt och vilka förändringar som skulle krävas för en legalisering av dödshjälp i Sverige. Frågan om dödshjälp är komplex och väcker starka etiska, moraliskaThe study employs a comparative legal-dogmatic method, conducting a juridical analysis of statutory provisions, case law, and legal doctrine concerning euthanasia in Sweden and Switzerland. The purpose of this thesis is to exam-ine whether the Swiss model is compatible with Swedish law and to identify the legislative changes required for the legalization of euthanasia in Sweden. The issue of eutha
Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v
This piece of work is focused on the use of the principle of subsidiarity in the legislative process of the European Union, taking as the starting point the work of the European Convention on the Future of Europe and the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) 2003-2004. It treats issues related to the division of competences in the EU, which the European Convention confronted in its work between March
Uppsatsen undersöker om det finns en skyldighet för stater att inte erkänna utländska barnäktenskap samt om barnäktenskap är förbjudna genom slaveri, träldom eller ’servile marriage’. Granskningen konstaterar att det saknas en enhetlig definition för vem som är ett barn, vad som utgör ett barnäktenskap och när mognad infinner sig för att fritt samtycka till ett äktenskap. Förbudet mot slaveri inkThe thesis examines whether there is an obligation for states to not recognise foreign child marriages and whether child marriages are prohibited through the prohibitions against slavery, servitude or servile marriage. The review finds that there is no uniform definition for who is a child, what constitutes a child marriage and when one is mature enough to freely consent to marriage. The definiti
The aim of my thesis is to provide research-based insight into AI technologies for information seeking’s place in future school library operations. To achieve this aim, I am looking at Swedish school librarians’ perceptions and views on AI technologies for information seeking, especially in connection with their work on media and information literacy. My research questions are as follows: (Q1) How
Linear business models which focus on growth and profitability have been deemed to be destructive to the environment, leading to generation of vast volumes of waste and contributing to environmental impacts. As a solution to this problem, a system wide change in the form of circular economy has been proposed. Circular economy focuses on regeneration of materials, keeping resources in use as long p
Introduction and aim: From a sustainable supply chain standpoint, concern for workers' safety on the job is essential. Driving safety is vital since accidents in the trucking industry often result in the deaths of both truck drivers and other road users. We found a potential correlation between nicotine usage and driving safety risk in the literature. Sleep quality also appears to play a medi
The author of this thesis wishes to contribute to transitions towards more sustainable energy systems in Argentina. In order to do so, two objectives are established. The first one refers to increasing the understanding of the transitions taken place at the local level within energy supply systems in Sweden. The second objective is to increase the understanding of the conditions that need to be in
I Sverige finns en rättstradition att läkare utan att riskera åtal, på grund av olika ansvarsfrihetsprinciper, kan utföra ingrepp på en patient som i straffrättslig mening annars hade klassats som brott. Den ansvarsfrihetsprincip som är av störst vikt för läkare är den om social adekvans. Till skillnad från övriga ansvarsfrihetsprinciper är denna princip inte lagstadgad och är i stället formuleradThere is a legal tradition in Sweden that doctors without risking prosecution, due to different discharge principles, can perform procedures on a patient that otherwise would be classified as crimes. The most important discharge principle for doctors is the principle of social adequacy. Unlike other discharge principles, this principle is not statutory and is formulated as a principle of law. It i
Fires have influenced atmospheric composition and climate since the rise of vascular plants, and satellite data have shown the overall global extent of fires. Our knowledge of historic fire emissions has progressively improved over the past decades due mostly to the development of new proxies and the improvement of fire models. Currently, there is a suite of proxies including sedimentary charcoal
Hedgerows structure agricultural landscape worldwide but little is known on their soil communities. In the intensively managed agricultural landscapes of Ireland and the UK, hedgerows protect soil from degradation and are thought to provide a reservoir of soil biodiversity for the farmed fields. But hedgerows are currently threatened by emergent tree diseases spread with rising volumes of trade in
Evolutionary genomics has recently entered a new era in the study of host-pathogen interactions. A variety of novel genomic techniques has transformed the identification, detection, and classification of both hosts and pathogens, allowing a greater resolution that helps decipher their underlying dynamics and provides novel insights into their environmental context. Nevertheless, many challenges to
Concerns over climate change are motivated in large part because of their impact on human society. Assessing the effect of that uncertainty on specific potential impacts is demanding, since it requires a systematic survey over both climate and impacts models. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of uncertainty in projected crop yields for maize, spring and winter wheat, rice, and soybean, using a
BACKGROUND: In recent years, telemedicine consultations have evolved as a new form of providing primary healthcare. Telemedicine options can provide benefits to patients in terms of access, reduced travel time and no risk of disease spreading. However, concerns have been raised that access is not equally distributed in the population, which could lead to increased inequality in health. The aim of
