På uppdrag av Höganäs kommun och Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har Västra och Östra Kullabergs naturreservat, Brunnby socken i Höganäs kommun i Skåne, inventerats på mark- och stenlavar. Projektet har utförts i etapper mellan 2016 och 2023 där ett delområde inventerats per år. Totalt har således åtta delområden undersökts, fyra i Västra och fyra i Östra Kullaberg. Varje delområde har inventerats genom fri
The loss and degradation of forest ecosystems pose a major challenge to global sustainability. Forests deliver vital ecological and social benefits; however, their governance is particularly demanding because they constitute common-pool resources. Although a growing body of research shows that Indigenous communities have developed effective and sustainable forms of forest governance, comparatively
The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an
Attofysik är förankrad i ljus-materia växelverkan som uppkommer från starka fält, vilken gör det möjligt att generera, kontrollera och mäta elektroners dynamik på deras naturliga tidsskala. Kvantsammanflätning och koherens mellan fotoelektron och jon i laserassisterad ultrasnabb fotojonisation är väsentliga för att kunna förstå den underliggande dynamiken och kontroll över det korrelerade tvådeladAttosecond physics is embedded in strong-field light-matter interactions, which enable the generation, control, and measurement of electron dynamics on their natural timescale. The entanglement and coherence between the photoelectron and ion in laser-assisted ultrafast photoionisation are fundamental to understanding the underlying dynamics and control of the correlated bipartite system.

School counselors in Sweden operate within a context where national legislation provides broad guidelines with limited concrete direction for their role. This study aimed to explore how school counselors perceive, interpret, and manage their discretion and to understand which factors shape their possibilities to act within their profession. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-str
This study examines how people with lived experiences of crime describe processes of entry into and exit from criminality. Furthermore, the study analyses how social bonds, turning points, and key life experiences are given meaning, and how the functions of criminality can be understood through the participants' life narratives. With a symbolic interactionist perspective, the analysis is made
This study focuses on how the daily press portrays social workers and their work with children and teenagers. It is a discourse analysis with social constructivism as the theoretical framework. The method was a qualitative cross-section together with Fairclough's model of critical discourse analysis. The material consists of news articles from three of the largest newspapers in Sweden from the
This study aimed to explore how social workers in the field of substance use and addiction experience and perceive organizational boundaries, division of responsibilities, and collaboration routines in the relationship between social services and psychiatric care, and how these factors affect the possibility of offering cohesive support to people with comorbidity. A qualitative research design was
This study aimed to examine how job-seeking individuals with a criminal record perceive their motivation to seek employment, which factors facilitate or hinder their participation in the job search process, and how they experience support from authorities. The sample initially consisted of participants recruited through Krami offices in Sweden and was supplemented with snowball sampling, allowing
This study aims to examine how changes in integration policy and the political discourse on migration affect social workers’ perceptions of their professional discretion, as well as how these changes are reflected in everyday practice and in encounters with clients. The study is based on qualitative interviews with social workers working with newly arrived migrants at the municipality level and is
Insect-mediated pollination enhances global production of many crops, and evidence highlights that insect pollination can also improve crop quality. The link between insect-mediated pollination and crop quality is driven not only by insect pollinators, but by a complex of interactions between pollinators, plant genotype, levels of cross pollination, plant physiology, environmental conditions, farm
BACKGROUND: The discrepancy between experimental research and clinical trial outcomes is a persistent challenge in preclinical studies, particularly in stroke research. A possible factor contributing to this issue is the lack of standardization across experimental stroke models, leading to poor reproducibility in multicenter studies. This study addresses this gap by aiming to enhance reproducibili
For circular retail models to successfully replace linear consumption in the future, retailers must understand the lived reality of second-hand customer journeys. However, existing customer journey mapping methods often fail to capture the non-linear, phygital, and multi-retailer nature of such journeys. This article introduces ‘messy customer journey self-mapping’, a novel qualitative method desi
Solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) typically requires reasoning about the values of exponentially many state beliefs. Towards practical performance, state-of-the-art solvers use value bounds to guide this reasoning. However, sound upper value bounds are often computationally expensive to compute, and there is a tradeoff between the tightness of such bounds and their co
Nanowires are promising structures for next-generation photonic devices due to their superior structural, optical, and electronic properties compared to thin films. In this study, unexpected electrostatic potential wells across the non-polar m-plane and at the core/shell interface in n-type GaN core/shell nanowires, grown via metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, are reported. Using advanced electron
Ruthenium-based materials are promising alternatives to expensive platinum for the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs), but face stability issues due to the strong oxophilicity. Here, an oxidation-resistant ruthenium multigrain catalyst is reported that exposes rich (10 (Formula presented.) 1) facets for high-performing HOR catalysis in alkaline
Violent offenders are a heterogeneous group where criminogenic needs often are substantial and violent behaviors persistent. Risk, Need, and Responsivity (RNR)-based treatment has shown effect on reducing the risk for recidivism in violent crime, but the development of novel treatments is crucial in making the change process more effective. Virtual Reality (VR) technology may be a tool to improve
Background and Aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Overweight and poor nutrient intake has been described in these patients. The aim of the study was to estimate nutrient intake in IBS, and to relate symptoms with nutrient intake and weight. Methods: Patients with IBS diagnosed according to Rome IV, without other severe diseases, complet
Diamond X-Ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPM®) can be used at beamlines of Synchrotron Light Sources for the measurement of the beam position and beam intensity. The accurate calculation of the beam position and intensity relies on the precise and fast readout systems for the current signals of an XBPM®. XANDY, the X-Ray Beam Position Monitoring System by CIVIDEC, measures the beam position and inte
