Jorderosion är en global utmaning som påverkar miljontals hektar mark och leder till betydande förluster i jordbruksproduktivitet och ökad sedimentering i vattendrag och sjöar. Faktorer såsom intensivt jordbruk, avskogning och förändringar i markanvändning bidrar avsevärt till detta problem. I och med klimatförändringarnas intåg med ökade extrema väderförhållanden förväntas jorderosionen att öka jSoil erosion is a significant challenge in Rwanda, particularly within the Nyagako sub-catchment, where this study focuses on a delimited area. This research investigates the sources and contributing factors of soil erosion using GIS analysis, turbidity measurements, and sediment fingerprinting with a deconvoluted MixSIAR (D-MixSIAR) model in R. The objectives were to identify erosion-prone areas,

När vi tänker på skog som till exempel Amazonas har vi en förståelse av att de är jordens lungor. Just det uttrycket är något som man fått höra många gånger. Skog är växtlighet som omvandlar koldioxid till syre. Med denna bild av vad skog är kommer det för sig att anta att just skog skulle fungera som ett perfekt instrument för att samla in koldioxid vi släpper ut i atmosfären. För att vi ska kunnMitigation of climate change as the main goal of the Paris Agreement aims to keep the global mean temperature at 1.5 Celsius. As of now daily global temperature are surpassing this threshold which indicates the urgency to reenact more work in limiting green house gas emissions and at the same time optimize sequestration of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. One key instrument to sequester c

This master thesis analyzes the discourse of material in the newspaper LO-tidningen (later called Arbetet), with a particular focus on editorials. Trade unions have played an important historical role in Sweden. Drawing upon research that shows that the public discourse as a whole have become more influenced by neoliberal thought, this thesis focuses on whether the unions themselves have been affe

Alfa Laval är ett ledande industriföretag inom flera viktiga teknologier såsom: separation, pumpar, och värmeöverföring. Detta genom att tillverka produkter till t.ex. vattenrening, pastörisering, och produktion och överföring av energi, som i sin tur bidrar till ökat välstånd i världen. En av Alfa Lavals mest centrala produkttyper är värmeväxlare för värmeöverföring mellan vätskor och gaser. Ett Alfa Laval’s head office in Lund, Sweden, is the centre for research, development, and production of one of their key technologies: heat exchangers. The most common of these are the gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPHE). In these the liquid channels between heat transfer plates are sealed using rubber gaskets. The sealing ability of these gaskets are thus highly important for the performance of th

Celebrating its twentieth anniversary of accession into the European Union, Lithuania is a small state with ambitious goals related to further enlargement of the bloc. This thesis seeks to answer how this small EU member state aims to leverage EU’s enlargement policies in two ways: 1) by looking at what frames are used in their political communication; 2) by investigating how well 2 strategies, de

Experimental nuclear structure data coming from superheavy nuclei synthesis experiments often consists of correlated alpha decay chains. In the absence of neutron detectors - which would fully characterize the exit channel after the fusion-evaporation reaction - the sequence of decay energies and half-lives are the 'fingerprint' of the exit channel itself. Experimental data in this region

The hotel industry's growth raises concerns about its societal and environmental impacts, prompting hotels to engage in various practices for environmental preservation, fair HR management, and community well-being among others.

Unfired clay is an ancient building material that has been used for centuries, as a result a third of the human population lives in earth houses today. Earth as a building material was neglected during the industrial revolution in Sweden, which means that well developed standards and regulations for earthen material do not exist today. The lack of standards and regulations can cause problems and f
