Wetland offset markets (WOMs) are increasingly applied worldwide as powerful tools for mitigating conflicts between wetland development and restoration. Reducing benefit uncertainty is key to promoting private restoration and introducing WOMs, which necessitates sufficient and stable price signals. Given that governments are important suppliers in WOMs, this article aims to explore the role of pub
Water productivity promotion is critical for achieving a balance maintaining the livelihood of large poor agricultural population and protecting ecological water in developing countries in arid and semiarid regions, and government financial payments play a significant role in this process. According to different water rights, government financial payment can be categorized as permanent water right
The interaction between water and land greatly affected the change of the riparian ecosystem service value (ESV) under the background of rapid regional development. In order to analyze the change of ESV, this study combined the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) and the P (pressure)-S (state)-R (response) framework to exploring its driving factors based on the ESV accounting method improved by
Given that the two institutional arrangements of government regulation and market allocation cannot effectively solve the conflict between individual and collective interests in the process of water pollution control, this work presents a useful attempt on the third institutional arrangement of environmental governance—social governance—to overcome the dilemma. Based on common pool resource theory
The imbalance between the supply and demand of ecological products between society and ecosystems is an important cause of a series of water ecological problems, and water ecological restoration projects aim to improve the above supply–demand relationship by means of inputs from the social side. For this reason, this paper takes the Yellow River Delta region as an example to launch a study on the
Dwell time is crucial for railway operations, for example, 20% of the total travel time in a mass transit context in the Paris region. With this, it is also a source of delays due to its variability. One way to ensure the robustness of a timetable is to add margins as buffer time that can be consumed to absorb short delays. Much work has been done on run time margins, but dwell time margins receiv
There can be situations, for example if gas containers have been damaged in a vehicle crash, when the fire and rescue service would like to depressurize the gas containers through shooting with a civilian rifle. Modern high-pressure hydrogen containers are designed for a working pressure of 700 bars. This means that they have a very thick and strong shell made of composite material. At the same ti
BACKGROUND: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a commonly occurring neurodevelopmental disorder associated with impairments in numerous aspects of functioning and quality of life. There is a growing recognition that brief and effective psychosocial interventions are needed for youth with ADHD.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and preliminary effectivene
PurposeThe purpose is to increase the understanding of when a heritage in the non-profit category becomes a part of the established heritage sector, and how this can be understood with regard to the rising awareness of climate change in heritage management and recent theories within the field. The case is Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås, Sweden, which since 2022 is a listed building in Sweden.De
This article is based on the creation of sports heritage as having strong roots in the Anthropocene. It particularly discusses listed building declarations of the built heritage of sport, from a Swedish perspective, as well as the feelings of nostalgia associated with such activities. Two contemporary examples of preserved sports heritage sites, Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås and the stand at V
Nutrients are the lifeblood of aquatic ecosystems, but not all nutrients are equally accessible to the organisms that depend on them. While traditional monitoring often tracks total or inorganic concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, these measures do not reflect what microbial communities can actually use. This thesis explores that disconnect by investigating the bioavailability of k
Denna avhandling presenterar utvecklingen och studiet av en flexibel och kiselchip-kompatibel integration av III–V nanotrådsbaserade (NW) optoelektroniska komponenter i nätverkskretsar, där kommunikation sker genom utsändning av ljussignaler. Detta innefattar en undersökning av hur neurala bearbetningsbeteenden kan efterliknas med hjälp av fotoniska kretsar på chip. Både experimentella resultat soThis thesis presents the development and study of a flexible and Silicon-chip compatible integration of III–V nanowire (NW) optoelectronic components in network circuits, where communication is done via the broadcasting of light signals. This includes an investigation into how neural processing behaviours can be emulated using on-chip photonic circuits. Both experimental works that demonstrate the
BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether the recommended, non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain yield reductions in healthcare utilization, social costs and increased productivity in actual practice.METHODS: The primary aim of this study ( n = 232) was to conduct secondary analyses of health economic outcomes using data from national registries combined with clinical outcome data from
Democracy festivals are events that aim to strengthen democracy by engaging citizens, politicians and organisations in dialogue and provide a more equal access to the agenda. In recent years, social media have become important arenas for agenda building, supposedly equalising the access to such processes. This article uncovers patterns of activity and visibility in agenda building through an actor
The Swedish digital games industry portrays itself as inclusive and egalitarian, yet structural inequalities persist, particularly for women. Despite progress in gender equality in Sweden, the industry remains male-dominated, with women comprising only 24% of the workforce in 2023. Female game developers often face exclusion, sexism, and limited career opportunities, being relegated to less presti
Ptychography is a burgeoning imaging technique that enables high-resolution, lensless reconstruction of complex samples by analysing overlapping diffraction patterns, making it invaluable in fields like materials science, biology, and nanotechnology. Real-time ptychographic reconstructions are gaining interest in the scientific community as they provide immediate feedback. Yet their potential to r
Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.
