Ring width (TRW) chronologies from Siberian (Pinus sibirica) and Scots (Pinus sylvestris) pine trees were sampled at Mukhrino - a large mire complex in central-western Siberia - to evaluate the impacts of hydroclimatic variability on tree growth over the last three centuries. For this purpose, we compared climate-growth correlation profiles from trees growing on peat soils with those growing on ad
The city of Helsingborg in Sweden has since 2010 been conducting a development work of its social housing programme. The city has built up a Housing First service, which today comprises 60 tenants, and has good results. Through two pilot projects, the city has also tried to develop the other parts of the social housing programme that previously was built on the staircase model.

The integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is steadily increasing, which introduces challenges such as voltage fluctuations, reduced system stability, and lower power quality. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can support the grid by providing services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving, contributing to a more stable and energy-efficient power system.

Popular Abstract in English Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to be a major health problem, especially in rural areas in developing countries. It is of great importance to have reliable data about the existing deficiencies, and also about their main causes, for the designing and developing of efficient nutritional strategies in order to overcome nutritional problems. Bolivia is While originally, protein-energy deficiency was considered the main factor of malnutrition, it is now understood that micronutrient deficiencies play a fundamental role in a variety of health and disease outcomes. Zinc and iron deficiencies are still highly prevalent in low-income countries, whereas insufficient intakes and diets with low mineral absorption are the major causes. Sustainable and fe
In this note I would like to give some personal views on the relevance of bandstructure treatments of narrow-band systems. At first sight one might think that bandstructure theory is not a very appropriate framework for quasi-localized electrons. Nevertheless, it has been found that density-functional (DF) theory in its modern form gives a rather impressive description of ground-state properties f
BACKGROUND AND AIM: In many places worldwide there is an ongoing urbanization, often achieved through densification. An increased number of inhabitants in an area often leads to both increased traffic and placement of new buildings closer to roads, and thus increased population exposure to road traffic noise. The aim of the study was to estimate and compare the health impacts of road traffic noise
Even the simplest cameras today house a plethora of impressive mechatronic systems. One of the key systems that determines the camera performance is the image stabilization, as involuntary hand movements during exposure can produce unsharp images. One way to compensate is by an internal image sensor stabilization system. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a 2 degrees of freedo
The study investigates employees' perceptions of trust within the Swedish Police and the Swedish Armed Forces. Trust is critical for organisational success, yet there is a lack of research comparing different dimensions of trust within these public sectors. This topic is particularly relevant given the rising threats to Sweden's national security, resulting in military rearmament and incre
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of the Swedish central bank's monetary policy on regional house prices. This study aims to capture variations between how different regions are affected, and capture monetary policy effects over time. The method used in this thesis to estimate the effect is modeled in two steps. Step one consists of estimating monetary policy shocks from poli
Forest fires are a danger both to society and to the climate. The forestry sector is an important and large element of Sweden’s economy, nature and landscape. Forest fires directly impact the economic viability of the forest industry and the people dependant on it. Forest fires also impact society, by necessitating measures to combat and prevent forest fires, and endangering human lives. A key par
This paper investigates the accuracy of three different methods that are used to perform a relative valuation. I also study the valuation accuracy of the three most widely used multiples used within these methods, the enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), the forward-looking price per share to earnings per share (P/EPS1), and the price-book (P/B). In addition, the difference between industries r
Building on the substantial research that critically analyzes the social implications that conservation policy has on indigenous peoples, this thesis analyzes how colonial legacies may influence the way conservation knows and sees nature and subsequently help shape the strategies aiming to protect it. The thesis has two objectives. The first is to examine how the “30x30” target may challenge and/o
The literary genre of dystopian fiction grew out of the larger science fiction genre during the first half of the 20th century. Distinctive of dystopian fiction is a tendency towards allegory. Books in the genre use allegory to make statements on a wide range of subjects. Dystopian novels often tackle political and religious issues, as well as societal issues more generally. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenh
This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between two buildings situated at Universitetsholmen in Malmö: Tornhuset (1910) and its modern extension Urban Hinges (2015). Together, the two buildings form World Maritime University. The modern extension has received a great deal of attention, both positive and negative, in traditional as well as in social media. Several statements suggest that vi
This conversion draws attention to a building rich in personal memories and historical value. Located in a village in the Southern German Highlands, this building has been at the centre of village culture for over eight centuries. The residential building is attached to a farm and has served as a tavern, restaurant and guesthouse. The fact that this example and many similar building typologies are
