Rapid growth in utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment increases the demand for spatial decision-support methods that are both computationally scalable and grounded in real-world development practice. This thesis develops and evaluates a high-resolution, raster-based GIS screening framework for early-stage solar PV site identification in Sweden, with a particular focus on efficient raste

Historically, rhythmic capacities in animals have been systematically studied in few taxa, like fireflies and crickets, while other behaviours have been considered rhythmic but lack de facto rigorous analysis, such as chimpanzee “rain dance”. Emerging fields like animal rhythm often suffer from data scarcity, leading to premature theories that overemphasize limited data and confuse the absence of

Across human cultures, rhythmic movement appears to be consistently associated with the induction of altered states of consciousness (ASCs), yet research on the topic remains scarce. In this chapter, we examine the potential role of rhythmic movement in ASC induction and its significance for understanding the evolution of dance and music. We discuss the cross-cultural spread of the association bet

Varför är Sverigedemokraterna intresserade av historia när så få andra politiska partier i vår samtid verkar vara det? Vilken historia är det som lockar och hur görs den till politiska poänger?

Genom att konstruera existensen av en nationell ödes
