The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ

Since the 1990s, economic policy instruments have become increasingly important to Swedish climate policy. To understand the characteristics of current systems, this paper presents an analysis of the development of economic policy instruments since the 1950s, with a focus on Swedish industry. Since the introduction of energy taxation, industry has received preferential treatment in the interests o

The excavation of a low-temperature kiln structure at an affluent Iron Age regional center, Uppåkra, located in southern Sweden, revealed from archeobotanical samples and its context evidence of malting in the process to make beer. Carbonized germinated hulled barley grain (Hordeum vulgare) was recovered from the kiln structure itself and from the surrounding occupationalsurface.

The current use of a 30 million year dateline for accepting genera in the Parmeliaceae is evaluated. Its value is doubtful since evolution obviously went quicker in some lichen groups compared with others. Parallel evolution is also very common among lichens. Polyphyletic genera should always be split, while sister groups may remain split or be combined after considering non-molecular characters.

The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach. However, such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling), does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framewoThe topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach.

Enligt Arbetsmiljöverkets rapport ”Arbetsmiljön 2013” har 40 procent av alla hotell- och kontorsstädare ont i nacke, rygg, axlar eller armar varje vecka. 60 procent av dem känner sig uttröttade i kroppen. Arbets- och miljömedicin (AMM) Syd har tagit fram åtgärdsnivåer för ett antal belastningsmått, ”AMM Syds åtgärdsnivåer för ergonomisk belastning”, och om man överstiger dessa, anser vi att risken

This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor. To facilitate the analyse literature have been studied to find indicators for sustainable production. The indicators have then been mappedtogether with para

The clichéd conceptualization of cancer illness as a battle, which the patient can either win or lose, can be problematic. For patients referred to palliative care, it can cause feelings of guilt and failure. This framing of cancer, here referred to as ‘the battle script’, has been questioned in previous research, and there seems to be awareness among health practitioners that battle metaphors sho

In particle accelerator facilities, single-phase niobium is used in superconducting accelerator components. Machining induced surface quality of such components is strongly connected to the functionality of accelerators. In this study, tool wear development and its influence on the surface quality of Nb workpiece have been investigated in longitudinal turning.

One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several

När de kritiska mönsterdimensionerna för högteknologiska enheter fortsätter krympa och mönstertätheten fortsätter öka, behöver även litografin att gå i samma riktning. En lovande teknologi är sampolymerlitografi, som har en upplösning under 10 nm, en mönsterperiodicitet omkring 7-200 nm, och lätt kan skalas upp till större ytor till en låg kostnad. Användandet av sampolymerer där de ingående blockAs high technology device patterns are continuing to move towards decreasing critical dimensions and increasing pattern density, there is a need for lithography to move in the same direction. Block copolymer (BCP) lithography is a promising technique, which has single digit nanometer resolution, has a pattern periodicity of about 7-200 nm, and easily scales up to large area at a low cost. The use

How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person? It is obvious that this is a very complex question. Multiple factors play important roles: the offence itself, but also the juvenile’s background in terms of education, socialization, prior convictions, etc. Every case is unique, but the criminal legal system has to follow the principles of legal certainty and predictability.How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person?

I och med ett nuvarande svenskt politiskt klimat där strategisk politisk kommunikation har blivit mer påtagligt, gäller det för partierna att anpassa sina budskap gentemot marknadens efterfrågan. Ur det förändrade politiska rummet har marknadsorienterade tendenser uppkommit bland partier som lämnar sina ideologiska värderingar för att generera fler röster (Strömbäck, 2007). Syftet med denna studieWith the current Swedish political climate in which a strategic political communication has become more apparent, it is more important for parties to adapt their messages towards the market demand. From the constant changing political room, market trends has arose among the parties who leaves their ideological values ​​to generate more votes (Strömbäck, 2007). The purpose of this study is to exami

År 2006 trädde datalagringsdirektivet i kraft med två terrorattentat i Europa i bagaget. Syftet var att harmonisera medlemsstaternas lagstiftning gällande lagring av trafikuppgifter samt förenkla förebyggande och utredande av allvarlig brottslighet. De uppgifter som teleoperatörerna skulle lagra rörde vem som kommunicerade med vem, när och var det skedde samt vilken typ av kommunikation som användIn 2006, following the two terror attacks in Europe; the European Council adopted the Data Retention Directive. There were two primary reasons behind the legislation; most importantly to simplify the prevention and investigation of serious crimes in the union, but also to harmonise the legislation surrounding retention of data among the Member States. The directive obligated telecommunications ope
