Satellite remote sensing of plant phenology provides an important indicator of climate change. However, start of the growing season (SOS) estimates in Northern Hemisphere boreal forest areas are known to be challenged by the presence of seasonal snow cover and limited seasonality in the greenness signal for evergreen needleleaf forests, which can both bias and impede trend estimates of SOS. The ne

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förmågan att planera med en medveten mental simulering har ansetts vara unikt mänsklig sedan Aristoteles. När människor planerar för psykologiska eller fysiologiska driftstillstånd som de för närvarande inte upplever, tror man att de använder sig av så kallad episodisk framförhållning. Den episodiska framförhållningen är en del av det större episodiska kognitiva systemeThe ability to plan for future, not currently experienced, mental or physiological states has been regarded as unique to humans. When humans plan for such states it has been hypothesized that they make use of what has been known as episodic foresight. Episodic foresight is a part of the episodic cognitive system, which also includes episodic memory. The defining feature of this system is so-called

Objective: We used dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure calcaneal bone mineral density (BMD) and estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis in a population with distal forearm fracture and a normative cohort. Methods: Patients 20 to 80 years of age with distal forearm fracture treated at one emergency hospital during two consecutive years were invited to calcaneal BMD measurement; 270 women (81

Lime-hemp concrete is an old insulation material, made out of hemp shiv and lime, making its way back onto the market. This thesis focuses on the usage of lime-hemp as an alternative insulation material for restoration of older wooden buildings in the town of Visby in Gotland, Sweden. The aim of this report is to investigate fire resistance properties of lime-hemp concrete and to compare it to oth

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka Sidas syn på jämställdhetsintegrering och (o)jämställdhet samt hur denna syn påverkar dess arbete för att främja jämställdhet globalt. Eftersom jämställdhetsintegrering är Sidas huvudmetod för att främja jämställdhet globalt undersöks Plan för jämställdhetsintegrering på Sida 2015-2018 samt delredovisningen av denna plan för att uppnå detta syfte.

Den här uppsatsen studerar vilka upphandlingsrättsliga konsekvenser som kan uppkomma då kommuner samverkar genom kommunalförbund, samägda kommunala aktiebolag och samverkansavtal. Studier har visat att i princip alla kommuner bedriver någon form av interkommunal samverkan. När det sker ett utbyte av prestationer som har ekonomiskt värde mellan kommuner eller mellan en kommun och ett kommunalförbuThis essay explores the consequences in terms of a procurement obligation that could follow when municipalities co-operate through an association of local authorities, a joint municipal company or an inter-municipal contract. Studies have shown that almost all Swedish municipalities conduct some form of inter-municipal co-operation. When there is an exchange of goods or services of pecuniary inte
