This chapter describes the background for, and implementation of, the Barnahus model within the Nordic countries. It highlights the core elements of the model and the specifics of the Nordic welfare state context relating to the child welfare and criminal justice systems. A contextual and comparative perspective is used to shed light on how the model is shaped by the legal and institutional contex
Changes in plant diversity and abundance due to land-use modifications can induce plant-pollinator trophic cascades, potentially leading to long-term shifts in pollination services. Our ability to mediate such loss of pollination services through informed landscape management is limited by insufficient understanding of long-term adaptations of wild pollinators to land-use, especially when accounti
This brief summarizes expert knowledge on what really works to protect pollinators. To guide and assist national governments and other relevant governmental bodies in the endeavor to stop and reverse pollinator decline, this brief is intended for everyone interested in pollinator and nature restoration, from local practitioners to national and international governmental agencies.
Biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes is declining, but evidence-based conservation targets to guide international policies for such landscapes are lacking. We present a framework for informing habitat conservation policies based on the enhancement of habitat quantity and quality and define thresholds of habitat quantity at which it becomes effective to also prioritize habitat quality. We app
Context: Organic farming aims to make agriculture more sustainable, but its sustainability benefits may be offset by lower yields compared to conventional farming. Avenues to increase organic yields have been studied extensively, but there is a lack of research using integrated approaches that consider co-variation between different organic management practices within commercial farming systems. M
Dispersal barriers have demographic, evolutionary and ecosystem-wide consequences. With ongoing changes in the environment, it is likely that some dispersal barriers will disappear while others will appear, and it is crucial to understand these dynamics to forecast species distributions and adaptive potential. Here we review recent literature on the ecological and evolutionary aspects of dispersal
Abstract in Undetermined In this paper, the news aggregator GoogleNews is used to assess the impact ofworldwide news on the volatility of the Chinese stock market. Although we find a strong link between the global stock market volatility and the amount of stock market-related news available worldwide, the link between the Chinese stock market and the same set of worldwide news is found to be much
Tracking techniques are vital for the understanding of the biology and ecology of organisms. While such techniques have provided important information on the movement and migration of large animals, such as mammals and birds, scientific advances in understanding the individual behaviour and interactions of small (mm-scale) organisms have been hampered by constraints, such as the sizes of existing
This report will examine the reliability of calculation methods used for concrete structures in the serviceability limit state. A comparison between the different methods will be done, based on calculations of the reliability index for these methods. This comparison will be the base for a discussion about what norm that should be prefferd in different situations and what level of reliability the c
Det finns många typer av säkerhetsstudier. En av dessa är en så kallad konfliktstudie. När man idag gör en traditionell konfliktstudie analyserar man trafiksäkerheten, oftast utifrån video-data. Det vill säga en observering av den verkliga situationen. En traditionell konfliktstudie har gjorts av Svensson & Ekblad, (2018) på en korsning vid Heleneholmsstigen/Ystadvägen i Malmö där man byggt omThere are many types of traffic studies. One of these is a so-called conflict study. Today when you do a traditional conflict study, you usually analyze traffic safety based on video data, which is an observation of the real situation. A traditional conflict study was made by Svensson & Ekblad, (2018) at a crossing at Heleneholmsstigen/Ystadvägen in Malmö, where a bicycle crossing was rebuilt.
Uppsatsen ämnar bidra till förståelse i en pågående politisk och aktuell debatt, gällande rättsliga vägar att hantera svenska medborgare som är återvändare från Islamiska staten. Enligt en innehållsanalytisk metod genomförs en granskning av protokollet från den aktuella riksdagsdebatten om IS-återvändare 12 mars 2019. Utifrån ett teoretiskt perspektiv om mänskliga rättigheter och rättssäkerhet för
Abstract Title: Social services department’s modern centaurs – about social worker's dual role in cases of suspected crimes contribution Authors: Branislav Ros; Carl-Johan Martinsson Tutor: Lena Palvén Examiner: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers, in the social services department of economical aid, experience their dual role as helper
In times of major global interconnectedness and environmental change, the pressure to identify, create, and exploit new resources is certain to intensify. Given that there are unavoidable trade-offs, conflicts, and arenas for violence involved when increasingly more material and immaterial things are turned into resources, we call for explicit research on the very process – a process that we label
Detta examensarbete har gjorts I samarbete med Tylö AB, ett bastuföretag med säte i Halmstad. De hade behov av att utreda möjligheten att använda universella, gärna likadana, gångjärn på alla sina bastudörrar i glas. Idag används flera olika typer av gångjärn beroende på var dörren ska monteras och alla olika gångjärn kräver olika typer av bearbetning på glasdörren för att kunna monteras. Tylö vil
Intensification of arable crop production degrades soil health and production potential through loss of soil organic carbon. This, potentially, reduces agriculture's resilience to climate change and thus food security. Furthermore, the expected increase in frequency of adverse and extreme weather events due to climate change are likely to affect crop yields differently, depending on when in the gr
Context: The intensification and expansion of human activities have caused profound changes in global wetlands and their associated aquatic bird communities. Understanding the mechanisms that drive the spatial assemblages of wetland birds is important for the development of effective conservation and management strategies. Objectives: The overall objective was to evaluate the influence of wetland
Established ecological theory has focused on unitary organisms, and thus its concepts have matured into a form that often hinders rather than facilitates the ecological study of modular organisms. Here, we use the example of filamentous fungi to develop concepts that enable integration of non-unitary (modular) organisms into the established community ecology theory, with particular focus on its sp
In post-peace agreement Colombia, everyone declared war on the forest. In the Putumayo region, these wars take their own particular forms. Scientifically, the Putumayo is described as an Andean-Amazonic rainforest. For the indigenous and local inhabitants of the Putumayo, it is the Andean-Amazonic selva. We present three wars on the forest with material and discursive specificities and critically
Production of agricultural biofuels is expected to rise due to increasing climate change mitigation ambitions. Policy interventions promoting targeted bioenergy solutions can be motivated by the large environmental externalities present in agricultural systems and the local context of biomass production co-benefits. Introducing energy crops in crop rotations in arable land with depleted Soil Organ
