Purpose: This study explores how information on air pollution is shaped online on an everyday basis, with a particular emphasis on digital devices and digital representations as constitutive of environmental information practices. Furthermore, this research highlights an understudied aspect of air pollution – the digital flow of multimodal representations that citizens encounter and produce in the

Both research and policy recognize land systems as fundamental to human life and activities. However, these two perspectives approach land from different ends and it can be difficult to see how studied variables contribute to broader policy goals. In this paper, we argue that there is a need to better select variables to study land systems as social-ecological systems, and to align research more w

Comprehensive approaches to predict performance of wood products are requested by international standards, and the first attempts have been made in the frame of European research projects. However, there is still an imminent need for a methodology to implement the durability and moisture performance of wood in an engineering design method and performance classification system. The aim of this stud

During the last century (1900s) industrialized forms of agriculture and human activities have caused eutrophication of Baltic Sea waters. As a consequence, the hypoxic zone in the Baltic Sea has increased, especially during the last 50 years, and has caused severe ecosystem disturbance. Climate forcing has been proposed to be responsible for the reported trends in hypoxia (< 2 mg/l O-2) both durin

Background: Globally, high amounts of food are wasted due to insufficient quality and decay. Although pollination has been shown to increase crop quality, a possible impact on shelf life has not been quantitatively studied. Results: We tested how shelf life, represented by fruit decay, firmness and weight, changes as a function of pollination limitation in two European, commercially important stra

When new buildings are constructed the indoor climate for the first period may differ from the one after some years due to various factors, for example may the emissions from the building materials be higher, possibly affecting the air quality, and the balancing of the technical systems; the mechanical supply and exhaust system and heating may not be completely finished. The perceived indoor clima

Background:: Those who are seriously ill and facing death are often living with physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering. Teamwork is considered to be necessary to holistically meet the diverse needs of patients in palliative care. Reviews of studies regarding palliative care team outcomes have concluded that teams provide benefits, especially regarding pain and symptom management. Muc

Jordan population have increased 3 million in the last five years. 1.5Million are refugees from Syria. 800 thousand are inside refugeecamps in the northern part of Jordan. 100 thousand are situated inZaatari camp which is located 10 kilometres east of Mafraq city. Thisenormous influx increased solid waste volume generated by 480 tonsdaily. The additional waste generation has exacerbated pre-existi

Monitoring is science keeping our thumb on the pulse of the environment to detect any changes of concern for societies. Basic science is the question-driven search for fundamental processes and mechanisms. Given the firm root of monitoring in human interests and needs, basic sciences have often been regarded as scientifically "purer"-particularly within university-based research communities. We ar

The past decades has seen automation rapidly increasing in the railway industry, with the "perceived" motivations of faster services, economy, safety, and energy efficiency. However these motivations often obscures the fact that automation also create new burdens and complexities for the operators and maintainers (Bainbridge, 1983; Woods, 1996). Joint Cognitive Systems (JCS) (Woods &

Over the past 150 years, industrialization, globalization and population growth have altered the planet and its natural conditions at a rapid pace. In this new era, the Anthropocene, environmental degradation has come to a state where sustainable ecosystem management has developed into an urgent quest for humans to maintain their own life-support system. The ecosystem services (ES) concept, initia

Kenya’s rapid, unplanned urban development and rising pressure for cities to adapt to climate change and become more climate change resilient has led to the realisation that more needs to be done. In Nairobi, increasing access to mobile technology and internet access, faster internet speeds, and the growing technology sector could be possible means to facilitate urban climate change resilience (UC

The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö

Internetanvändare exponeras dagligen för reklam och i sociala medier flödar reklam anpassad för att tilltala varje enskild individ. Internetreklam är svårare att identifiera, undvika och förhålla sig kritisk till jämfört med reklam i traditionella medier då internetreklam ofta är inbäddad i icke-kommersiellt innehåll. På internet är det tillåtet att rikta reklam till barn i alla åldrar, för tv ochEvery day, internet users are exposed to advertising, and social media advertising feeds are tailored to appeal to the interests of the individual user. Advertising on the internet is more difficult to identify, avoid, and critique compared to advertising in traditional media, this is because much of the advertising on the internet is embedded in non-commercial content such videos on internet plat

The purpose of this master thesis in practical theology is to investigate the reasons for choices of hymns made by parents baptising their children in the Church of Sweden. From earlier data on baptisms and hymns we do know which hymns are most commonly chosen, but no one to date has interviewed parents on their choices. The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre

Floods, as a consequence of climate change, are expected to increase in intensity and frequency in the future. One particularly affected area is Falsterbonäset, located in the southwestern part of Skåne, Sweden. In news media, metaphors are often used to convey the images of societal crises, serving as integral linguistic tools in our daily discourse. This study aimed to address two main objective

In the present thesis I analyse the image of the Oriental or the Other in German public-service media reporting. In times of the refugee crisis, right-wing movements strengthening in several European countries and Islamist extremist terrorist threats, the West is confronted with the question of integrating people from other cultures. The discussion about the sexual assaults in Cologne from 31 Dece

Background Transparency of a supply chain is the extent to which all its stakeholders have a shared understanding of, and access to, the product-related information that they request, without loss, noise, delay, and distortion. Having access to accurate and timely information is a challenging issue in global supply chains. Therefore, this research aimed at identifying barriers that could act as
