Investigating the matter of urban sustainability, previous research within the field argues that the social dimension of sustainability has been deprioritized, one potential reason being that it is less tangible then the economic and ecological dimension. Furthermore, citizen participation and inclusiveness is identified as central to the social dimension on an international as well as Swedish nat

Research on video games and sustainability has predominantly focused on game design — examining how serious games, gamification, and narrative design can transmit ecological knowledge or shape sustainability-related behaviour. This design-centred approach, however, treats sustainability as a property to be embedded in the game system and received by players, leaving a theoretical blind spot: it ca

Verksamhetsberättelse i korthet 2014 | Lunds universitets bibliotek 2 verksamhetsberättelse i korthet Inledning Lunds universitets biblioteks (LUB) verksamhet är stor och mångfacetterad, och att beskriva den i en verksam- hetsberättelse är som att titta länge och djupt i ett kalej- doskop. Wikipedia definierar ett kalejdoskop som ”en tub försedd med speglar som reflekterar föremål, till exempel fä

This study focuses on quantitative long-term effects of Supplemental Instruction (SI) in terms of graduation and dropout rates. One of the main aims of SI is to introduce students to effective study strategies and techniques. If SI is introduced at an early stage for new students in higher education, it should therefore be expected that this action will promote timely graduation.

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING (Summary in Swedish) Ett självmordsförsök innebär ett stort lidande, såväl ho's personen i fråga som ho's omgivningen. Psykiatrin's huvudsakliga syfte i behandlingen av självmordsnära individer är att förhindra upprepade självmordsförsök och självmord. Av dem som gör ett självmordsförsök har 35 – 50% gjort ett eller flera självmordsföAbstract One important task for the mental health services is to prevent suicidal behaviour, especially among persons at high risk, e.g. those who have attempted suicide. In two follow-up samples, one and three months after a suicide attempts, both n=97, we found that 32% and 38% of the patients respectively had no treatment and 30% in each sample had suicidal thoughts. In a randomised controlled

Research at the division of Packaging Logistics, Lund University, has been performed in numerous areas, ranging from organisational learning and sustainability to process integration and service development. One of these is the new and complex research area of traceability. When it comes to food scandals, from the mad cow disease at the end of the 90s to the more recent incident where glass has b

Vangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. The fruit is mostly eaten fresh, and sometimes mixed with porridges, but in some parts

GRASP (Group and Social Psychology) is an interdisciplinary conference, which aims to provide a community around social psychological issues for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the Nordic countries within the fields of psychology, sociology, education, behavioural sciences and social work to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, princi

The damage caused by a dramatic worldwide increase in so-called natural disasters is staggering, with the poor in developing countries being most at risk. This paper analyses: (a) the key variables and their causal relations that underlie the complex system of risk and disaster occurrence in slums; (b) the impacts of disasters on slums; (c) the strategies used by local people to cope with risk and

Recent decades have been characterised by increasingly complex governance structures. In order to tackle threats from epidemics, environmental degradation and other trans-boundary problems governments collaborate not only with actors from other governments, international agencies and civil society, but also from the private sector and business community. Large numbers of global partnerships, inclu

Prior to the end of the Cold War, China's foreign policy was in large shaped by a confrontational, power-based discourse. However, since the early 1990s, China's foreign policy in general and its regional policy in particular has undergone significant change. Today, China operates in large with, and within major international and regional institutions and regimes. This is also notable conc

The purpose of the "Research Output" module is to collect and display all publications and other types of research reports at Lund University.

IDENTIFYING DRIVERS AND MECHANISMS OF CLIMATE-RELATED TREE MORTALITY Tree mortality is of high concern globally, and may be exacerbated by an increasing frequency and intensity of meteorological extremes such as droughts and heat waves. Although tree dieback events have been studied in many parts of the world, and are increasingly detectable through high- resolution remote sensing as well as surve

Cities have an important role to play in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to mobilize sustainability at the urban level. Yet, municipalities encounter challenges in localizing the SDGs into their governance structures, and there is a need to advance our understanding of cities strengths and weaknesses in such processes. In this article we provide knowledge and reflectio

The chapter identifies several themes that are potentially significant in future research on Gen Z and sustainable tourism consumption. The need for cross-generational and cross-cultural research is identified, especially in a longitudinal context. It is also noted that the majority of research is undertaken in the developed world and the authors highlight the need for research in less developed c

Many people want to play their part to tackle climate change, but often do not know where to start. Carbon Footprint (CF) Calculators pose potential for helping individuals situate themselves in climate impacting systems of which they are a part. However, little is currently known about whether and how individuals who complete CF calculators understand their CF in the context of climate change. Th

Urban greening is often thought of as a tool for aligning developmental and environmental goals, but it is also a tool for magnifying the city. It exposes and expands almost invisible dimensions of our hyperlocal environment. Greening has become one of the strongest mechanisms for transforming these preferences from a figurative guide for action into the literal cities the authors inhabit. In the
