Hur påverkas storkar av stökiga grannar och grannfejder? Som många arter påverkas även vit stork (Ciconia ciconia) av förändringar i deras levnadsmiljö som leder till färre födo- och boplatser. Men det sker även förändringar på de mindre skalorna, inom regionala populationer och lokala kolonier. Vem storkarna bor granne med kan påverka deras häckningsframgång, alltså hur många ägg de lägger under

Producers and Takers: The Socioeconomic Narrative of Sweden Democrat Voters

Recently, several academic studies have proposed a theoretical ‘producerist framework’ to address the lack of research and conceptual clarity on the economic dimension of national populism. Essentially, this framework refers to a narrative that pits the producers, understood as citizens that contribute to the nation’s economic wealth, against parasitic takers, who threaten the producers’ well-bein

Modelling of Potential Swedish 2022 Forest Fire Areas

Forest fires are a danger both to society and to the climate. The forestry sector is an important and large element of Sweden’s economy, nature and landscape. Forest fires directly impact the economic viability of the forest industry and the people dependant on it. Forest fires also impact society, by necessitating measures to combat and prevent forest fires, and endangering human lives. A key par

Assessing the Carbon Intensity of Hourly Electricity Mix in Sweden and Identifying Opportunities for Renewable Energy Integration (2018-2022)

The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

Emerging Norms on Disaster Displacement: Scrutinising Swedish Decision-Makers

In times of climate change, climate-related disaster displacement is becoming a growing issue. While the vast majority of disaster displaced people move within their country or to a neighbouring country (within a region), there are also people who move between regions and to Europe (interregional).

Food supply in times of crisis - the potential to utilise side streams from the Swedish food industry

Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen att utnyttja sex sidoströmmar/exportströmmar från den svenska livsmedelsindustrin till livsmedel för människor. Sidoströmmar som inte är industriens huvudsakliga syfte men skulle kunna bidra med näring. I dagsläget går majoriteten av strömmarna till produktion av biobränsle eller till djurfoder. En litteraturstudie genomfördes där strömmarnas avkastning, egens

Appropriate Tone Accent Production in L2-Swedish by L1-Speakers of Somali

It has been suggested that speakers with an L1 with lexical tones may have an advantage when it comes to perceptually discriminating between different tones in another tone language (Kaan, Wayland, Bao & Barkley, 2007). Other studies in L2-learning show that this is not entirely the case (van Dommelen & Husby 2009, So & Best 2010). A model of typological pitch prominence (Schaefer &

Comparisons of weight change, eating habits and physical activity between women in Northern Sweden and Rural New York State-results from a longitudinal study

Background: Previous research has focused exclusively on weight loss or weight maintenance following weight loss, i.e. secondary weight maintenance (SWM). The long-term results of SWM have been modest, suggesting that preventing initial weight gain among normal weight or overweight individuals, i.e. primary weight maintenance (PWM), may be more successful. The aim of this study was to compare the
