REVEALS-based quantitative reconstruction of Holocene vegetation cover (expressed in plant functional types. PFTs) is used in the LANDCLIM project to assess the effect of human-induced land-cover change on past climate in NW Europe. Using the Czech Quaternary Pollen Database, this case study evaluates the extent to which selection of data and input parameters for the REVEALS model applications wou

The present study is a part-study of the EVEDMUS (evaluation of teacher education in music) project aiming to examine the music teacher education programmes across Europe and Latin America. The overarching objective of the EVEDMUS project is to learn about the different conditions and causes in which the musical and educational knowledge is being constructed and identify factors in the programmes

This research set out to describe the current state of Environmental due iligence, how it evolved, current trends, and where it may be headed. The approach taken to accomplish this was a literature review, comparison of international Environmental due diligence standards, in particular ASTM E-1527 00 and ISO 14015, review of six case studies of environmental due diligence assessment reports, and i

The aim of this study was to use case study approach to show educators that identities of immigrant students are complex, and a response to the dominant culture. The cases were four immigrant students in grades 8 to 10 in Iceland. Through interviews, and observations, data was gathered on how the students construct their identities in the school con-text, with a focus on teachers’ expectations. Th

The current research aims to find out how the European legal system may approach the challenges of the online social networking and their effects on the right to privacy in personal data protection of the European users. Since the answer closely depends on the nature of the right in question (human right or property right), the thesis involves a comparative analysis of the American and European p

För att se om brand regimerna i Sverige före större antropogena påverkningar skett år jämförbara med nutida Kanadensiska brand regimer jämförde jag två datasets av brand storlek och antal bränder. Man kan se likheter när Kanada och Sveriges brand regimer jämfördes, men eftersom sökarean varierade mycket (Kanada: hela landet, Sverige: 608km2) och den temporala upplösningen (Kanada: 41 år, Sverige: To assess if the fire regimes in Sweden before the strong human intervention are comparable to the recent Canadian fire regime I compared two datasets of fire numbers. A likeness could be found when comparing the Swedish and Canadian fire regimes, but due to the differences in study area (Canada: the whole state; Sweden 608km2) and time span (Canada: 41 years, Sweden: 800 years), no significant re

OPENLAND3 belongs to a suite of computer programs included in the POLLSCAPE simulation model. These programs make it possible to calculate estimates of pollen loadings in lake basins or bogs using vegetation data. OPENLAND3, written in Visual Basic 6, is designed to produce appropriate vegetation data files from vegetation maps stored in a Geographical Information System. It calculates percentage

Pioneering work in the last century has resulted in a widely accepted paradigm that primary production is strongly positively related to temperature and water availability such that the northern hemispheric forest carbon sink may increase under conditions of global warming. However, the terrestrial carbon sink at the ecosystem level (i.e. net ecosystem productivity, NEP) depends on the net balance

Background. Dehiscence of colon anastomosis is a common, serious and potentially life-threatening complication after colorectal operation. In experimental models, impaired biomechanic strength of colon anastomoses is preventable by general inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and associated with collagen loss, which indicates a possible link between MMP-mediated collagen degradation and

Background: The sural nerve is the most commonly used nerve for grafting severe nerve defects. Our aim was to evaluate subjective outcome in the lower leg after harvesting the sural nerve for grafting nerve defects. Methods: Forty-six patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire to describe symptoms from leg or foot, where the sural nerve has been harvested to reconstruct an injured major nerve

The expansion of wind power in Sweden has brought increasing conflicts between the wind power industry and the interests of the military forces. This paper analyses the reasons for these perceived conflicts and suggests solutions for mitigating at least some of the problems. The analysis is based on literature studies, several semistructured interviews and workshops with stakeholders in Sweden, De
