Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate
Ekosystemen i vår värld förändras av naturliga krafter, som i sin tur påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. För att förstå och beräkna effekterna av klimatförändringar och mänsklig förvaltning på våra ekosystem har behovet av instrument för att övervaka och förutsäga jordsystemet ökat. Dynamiska globala vegetations modeller är matematiska modeller som tillåter en processbaserad beskrivning av växtsamDynamic global vegetation models are mathematical models that provide a bottom-up description of plant communities. They explicitly model physiological and population-level processes such as growth, photosynthesis, carbon allocation, regeneration and mortality.However, there are a number of challenges to meet in the context of mechanistic vegetation models which can be extrapolated to new environm
A review concerning road tunnel fire safety and risk is presented. In particular different perspectives and methodson safety and risk are discussed. Road tunnel fire safety usually involves high uncertainty and high-stakes decisions.Thus, a wider group of stakeholders and different types of knowledge should be included in the fire safety analysisand evaluation, than what is required by technical r
Renovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union. Reduction of energy use for existing buildings can be achieved through applying energy efficiency renovation measures. Besides this, there is quite a large renovation need in Sweden due to building materials and services reaching (or having passed) the end of their service life.IncoRenovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union.

Post hoc interventions rely on having access to certain personal data - such as the gender, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation of the persons being evaluated - in order to detect and correct for prejudice. This brings these interventions into possible tension with pertinent data protection legislation, which might restrict the processing of said data. We discuss the compatibility of post hoc i
Territoriality has primarily been seen as a spatial rather than temporal phenomenon. In this paper, we want to investigate how time functions in territorialising processes. In particular, we are attracted by the multi-temporality that is co-present in each process of territorialisation (i.e. processes in which time and space are used as means of measure, control and expression). The article is div
Background: There are challenging methodological issues in obtaining valid and reliable results on which to base occupational therapy interventions for ethnic minorities. The aim of this scoping review is to describe the methodological problems within occupational therapy research, when ethnic minorities are included. Method: A thorough literature search yielded 21 articles obtained from the scien
Mixing in ice covered lakes is caused by through-flow currents, oscillations of the ice cover and by convective currents induced by heat flow from the sediments or by solar radiation penetrating the ice. Mainly from studies in Swedish lakes, current velocities and mixing coefficients are quantified for the different processes generating water movement. Seiche movement caused by wind induced oscill
The strength of Sen’s concept of poverty lies in the fact that it goes beyond the traditional concepts of poverty and is able to grasp the complexity of poverty. At the same time, the strength of Sen’s concept of poverty is also its weakness. It is very abstract indeed. Income does not tell us much about poverty according to the capability deprivation approach since poverty is more than being shor
This research aims to question and uncover the social sustainability paradox arising from the inconsistent practice of third sector organisations’ values, for both their external stakeholders and internal workforce. To achieve so, this thesis discusses how the values are created, delivered and affected through the topology of the third sector, the organisational theories, sustainability theory and
Purpose of study: As both innovations and brand loyalty are becoming ever more important for companies today, it is of importance to understand how an organisation can handle the relationship between the explorative and exploitative units when working with these two constructs. The ultimate aim is to understand how service organisations can be managed in order to enhance brand loyalty through serv
Användandet av digitala kommunikationskanaler blir allt vanligare. Traditionella arbetsplatser går mot mer moderna sådana då face-to-face kommunikation byts ut eller kompletteras av kommunikation i virtuella miljöer. Medarbetare kan idag genom diverse digitala verktyg arbeta ”när som helst, var som helst” och den virtuella miljön möjliggör för en rums- och tidsmässig frihet. Föreliggande uppsats äThe use of digital communication channels is getting more and more common. Traditional workplaces are moving towards of becoming more modern, since face-to-face communication is being replaced or supplemented with communication in virtual environments. By using various digital communication tools, co-workers can now work “whenever, wherever” and the virtual environment enables a spatial and tempor
The masters thesis The particular politics of the home - domestication and parental practices of digital games in everyday life aims at providing a closer look at how games played on phones, consoles or computers are regulated within the everyday of family life. Through semi-structured interviews with nine parents, the author creates understanding for how digital games are not only tied to the mor
En av de mest betydelsefulla grundpelarna i den svenska brottmålsprocessen är att ingen ska dömas på felaktiga grunder och för att eliminera felaktiga fällande domar måste det finnas ett strängt beviskrav. Syftet med detta arbete är att utifrån gällande beviskrav ställt utom rimligt tvivel utröna vad beviskravet innebär samt hur det tillämpas och tolkas i mordfall. Vidare ämnar framställningen ock
I Sverige idag uppskattas det att 16 procent konsumerar alkohol på ett sätt som bedöms som riskbruk. Detta är något som kan ge upphov till en rad olika konsekvenser, såsom sjukdomar, skador och missbruk. Vidare visar studier att fyra procent av individer mellan 16-24 år lider av någon form av spelproblem. Precis som med alkohol kan det vid konsumtion av spel utvecklas ett missbruk. Det är konstateIn Sweden today it is estimated that 16 percent consume alcohol in a way that is considered risky. This is something that can give rise to a range of consequences, such as illness, injury and addiction. Furthermore, studies show that 4 percent of individuals aged 16-24, suffer from some form of gambling problem. As with alcohol, the consumption of gambling can lead to addiction. It is recognized t
This thesis aims to provide information regarding which critical success factors that are beneficial for small and medium enterprises when implementing Robotic Process Automation. It has been done by identifying 11 critical success factors from 14 academic research articles treating Critical Success Factor’s in Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planner implementations.

Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. Bolivia has previously failed to industrialize its lithium,
