This study aims to increase the understanding of the role of visuals in crises by examining how citizens co-construct crisis through memes and how it enables certain ways of understanding the energy crisis. Knowledge about visuals in crisis communication is much needed to meet the challenge in “the post text”, where “an online culture in which text recedes to the background, and sounds and images
The prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents is on the rise. The majority of overweight or obese children are treated by primary health care providers including paediatricians, family practitioners, dieticians, nurses, and school health services - and not by specialists. The majority of obese children have no underlying medical disorder causing their obesity yet a significant proportio
Migratory land birds perform extreme endurance flights when crossing ecological barriers, such as deserts, oceans and ice-caps. When travelling over benign areas, birds are expected to migrate by shorter flight steps, since carrying the heavy fuel loads needed for long non-stop flights comes at considerable cost. Here, we show that great snipes Gallinago media made long and fast non-stop flights (
Since 2009, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) regime has seen the emergence of several new political groups. This article analyses how the new political groups are positioning themselves in relation to the key UNFCCC principles (the North–South divide and ‘common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities’, CBDR/ RC). Drawing on original data, in

The purpose is to investigate questions regarding Public Participation and PPGIS. The study is of qualitative character. I have conducted field observations on areas concerning my issue. In addition to this I have made interviews to examine how PPGIS is
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on the 20th of September 2017. It was a category four hurricane with winds of up to 175mph. It was the strongest hurricane to hit the island since Hurricane Mitch in 1998 and said to be the worst natural disaster ever to hit the Caribbean Islands. Officials stated that the hurricane killed 64 people; however, the death toll was later revealed to actually have been 2
Objectives: There is growing concern regarding waiting times in health care as a mechanism to improve fairness in health services. This essay addresses the issue by evaluating fairness defined by justice theories. Based on this discussion, the essay then investigates whether actual waiting times are consistent with ethical principles. Theory: The theories of justice discussed are utilitarianism, e
Developing an e-government in a state has become a new trend in the world of political reform. However, e-government itself as a way of public service digitalization does not incline that political regime of the state will be democratic and inclusive. When e-government has been usually researched in the democratic setting, question marks remain of how it works in the non-democratic one. This paper

Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are destinated to revolutionise people transportation bringing huge benefits in personal safety and environmental sustainability. In particular, Society Automotive Engineers (SAE) level 4 and level 5 cars are expected to reduce 90% of car accidents and the level of ecological print. However, to achieve those improve- ments an elevated acceptance level is necessary, which m
This chapter explores the interrelationship between neoliberalism and economic inequality through a comparison of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, using Sweden as a main case and the other three major Nordic countries as comparative cases. The argument is that the relationship between neoliberalism and inequality isn’t a one-way street, but rather a question of mutual determination. Neoliberal
LARMET I HUSET Larma alltid galleriet när du lämnar det och ta in gatupratare och vaktbord i galleriet. Inget får lämnas i foajén utanför. När du lämnar galleriet och receptionen är stängd innebär det att du larmar på också i i foajén när du larmar galleriet. Då måste lämna huset direkt när du larmat galleriet, alltså inte stanna i foajén. Använd alltid nyckelknappar vid dörrarna, handtagen är lar

Loss of forest naturalness challenges the maintenance of green infrastructure (GI) for biodiversity conservation and delivery of diverse ecosystem services. Using the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi target #11 with its quantitative and qualitative criteria as a normative model, we aim at supporting landscape planning through a pioneering assessment of the extent to which existing amount
Bioindication has become an indispensable part of water quality monitoring in most countries of the world, with the presence and abundance of bioindicator taxa, mostly multicellular eukaryotes, used for biotic indices. In contrast, microbes (bacteria, archaea and protists) are seldom used as bioindicators in routine assessments, although they have been recognized for their importance in environmen
Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high-quality habitats are key drivers of insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, the 2014 EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) defined a set of habitat and landscape features (Ecological Focus Areas: EFAs) farmers could select from as a requirement to receive basic farm payments. To inform th
Trots att PBL betraktas som ett kraftfullt verktyg i undervisningen, råder fortfarande viss tvekan att den skulle vara lämplig i alla utbildningar. Ett annat problem som också diskuteras är om PBL går att tillämpas på stora grupper och i så fall om den är lönsam. I tekniska utbildningar är teknologerna oftast vana vid att ha föreläsningar, övningar och laborationer. Som stöd har man ett genomarbet
The photoreceptors and eyes of four fish species commonly cohabiting Fennoscandian lakes with different light transmission properties were compared: pikeperch Sander lucioperca, pike Esox lucius, perch Perca fluviatilis and roach Rutilus rutilus. Each species was represented by individuals from a clear (greenish) and a humic (dark brown) lake in southern Finland: Lake Vesijärvi (LV; peak transmiss
Mountain areas often hold special species communities, and they are high on the list of conservation concern. Global warming and changes in human land use, such as grazing pressure and afforestation, have been suggested to be major threats for biodiversity in the mountain areas, affecting species abundance and causing distribution shifts towards mountaintops. Population shifts towards poles and mo
