Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics

Utvecklingen av svensk konkurrenslagstiftning började i början av 1900-talet. Efter en lång period av motioner, debatter och utskottsrapporter skapades 1925, "Lag om undersökning angående monopolistiska företag och sammanslutningar". Uppsatsen innehåller en översikt av lagens utveckling. Uppsatsen börjar med att lyfta fram några motioner som skrevs mellan 1910 och 1920. Dessa visar den

Many companies today strive to reduce their environmental impact. A potential strategy to reduce CO2 emissions is horizontal cooperation between actors on the same level of different supply chains. The strategy opens for cooperation, in for example such non-core activities as distribution and transportation, between companies with a competitive relationship. Larger transport networks increase the

The protection that different types of buildings can provide against gamma radiation from radioactive fallout has been investigated since the late 1950s. The DCPA Standard Method has served as the basis to determine this protection, which is given by the so called “protection factor”. Several studies in the U.S. have utilized enclosed sources of radioactive nuclides to simulate fallout and test th

Arctic ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to climate warming due to large-scale changes in temperature, followed by altered community structure. Northern birds are subject to population reduction and range contraction in Europe and many mountainous birds show negative trends. Even if global trends are clear, local studies on a detailed level are needed to obtain more information on possible

In this paper, we describe a new system to extract, index, search, and visualize entities on Wikipedia. To carry out the extraction, we designed a high-performance entity linker and we used a document model to store the resulting linguistic annotations. The entity linker ,HERD, extracts the mentions from text using a string matching Engine and links the mto entities with a combination of rules, P

The main challenge for future electricity systems is to match the available electricity from variable renewable resources with the electricity demand in place, time and quantity. One option for increasing electricity system flexibility is to integrate the electricity system with the district heating systems via the use of power-to-heat technologies such as electric boilers. The overarching objecti

Paper om den svensk-judiska pressen under förintelsen.

Purpose: This paper aims to unveil how sustainability is integrated into the courses/programmes of higher education institutions. The research question addressed is: how do academics representing different disciplines cooperate and engage in the work of integrating sustainability into their teaching programmes. Design/methodology/approach: This paper draws upon the notions of practise variation an

We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevanWe introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevan
