Rwanda’s Nyabarongo catchment frequently experiences floods, highlighting the need for effective flood susceptibility analysis and management. This study mapped flood susceptibility in the catchment using the random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) models, as well as various conditioning factors including elevation
Fler arter än någonsin i mänsklighetens historia hotas av utrotning och den biologiska mångfalden lokalt har förändrats kraftigt i en stor del av världens ekosystem. Grundläggande förändringar behövs både i samhället och för individer, för att bromsa den negativa trenden, skriver en rad debattörer.
This transformative study aimed to explore how people who practice BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism) experience therapy; specifically, what sort of therapist responses and qualities they described as problematic and desirable in relation to addressing BDSM in therapy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 Swedish BDSM practitioners with experiences ofThis transformative study aimed to explore how people who practice BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism) experience therapy; specifically, what sort of therapist responses and qualities they described as problematic and desirable in relation to addressing BDSM in therapy.

Study region: The Kaidu River Basin (KRB) is located on the central southern slope of the Tianshan Mountain in Northwest China. Study focus: This work aimed to assess changes and main drivers of snowmelt-driven runoff in KRB associated with three future climate scenarios. Six versions of the “Cemaneige” snowmelt module embedded in the hydrological model “GR4J” were calibrated and evaluated. The bi
Objectives: To develop EULAR recommendations for screening and prophylaxis of chronic and opportunistic infections in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Methods: An international Task Force (TF) (22 members/15 countries) formulated recommendations, supported by systematic literature review findings. Level of evidence and grade of recommendation were assigned for each
Prydlig, proper och välskött - så tycks den perfekta trädgården se ut. Men när den kortklippta gräsmattan växte fram som ideal bland Europas välbärgade var övriga naturen vildare. I en tid av artutrotning och klimatförändringar finns det större behov än någonsin av otjämjda trädgårdar, skrive råtta forskare och landskapsarkitekter.In an era of species extinction and climate change, we should abandon the well-trimmed lawn and let gardens grow wilder, writes Anna Persson and other researchers and landscape architects on DN Debatt.
BackgroundHealthcare system and intersectoral public health policies play a crucial role in improving population health and reducing health inequalities. This study aimed to quantify their impact, operationalized as avoidable deaths, on the gap in life expectancy (LE) and lifespan inequality (LI) between Iran and three neighbour countries viz., Turkey, Qatar, and Kuwait in 2015–2016.MethodsAnnual
It is common in elite sport to monitor athletes' training load, injuries and illnesses, but mental distress is rarely included. An improved understanding of the epidemiology of mental distress among elite Para athletes and how their coaches perceive such monitoring would allow us to better develop and implement preventive measures. The purpose of this study was therefore to (1) prospectively descr
Nästa år ska regeringen enligt klimatlagen presentera en handlingsplan för hur Sverige ska nå klimatmålen. Minst ett dussin myndigheter har bidragit med underlag. Men inte ens om samtliga förslag i dessa rapporter genomförs kommer det att räcka för att fylla det gap som har uppstått med den nya regeringens politik, skriver Klimatpolitiska rådet.
This article presents a dynamic land property rights theory based on the law of the limit to land productivity, and then uses this theory and a large amount of data to compare the history of the agricultural and industrial revolutions in England and China. The article finds that, in England, the arable land-especially sown land-per capita of the agricultural population trended downward before the
In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a
This thesis argues for the significance of worry in Mark Haddon’s A Spot of Bother (2006) and The Red House (2012). All of Haddon’s novels can be said to be a study of the human consciousness, containing a variety of worried characters, but it is notable that worry is most predominantly present in the two novels that centre around complex family dynamics. For this reason, these two novels will be
This study explores two forms of oppressions facing Palestinian women in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: the Israeli Occupation and the Patriarchal Structure in their society. The purpose of the study is to examine how these oppressions intersect and impact Palestinian women’s daily life and their struggle for gender equality.

Myanmar is the world's second-largest producer of opium poppy, the raw material from which heroin and opium are produced. 85% of this opium poppy is cultivated in rural areas of Shan State, where about 1 in 10 households in the villages are directly involved in opium poppy cultivation for the drug industry (MIMU, 2017). The economy of opium poppy permeates social and family dynamics; nonethele
Glacier retreat has cascading effects for mountain communities whose livelihoods and cultural- cosmological beliefs are deeply intertwined with glacier-fed ecosystems. Loss and damage research and governance overly emphasize economic framings rendering intangible losses invisible. This thesis adopts a Plural Values approach to surface lived experiences of glacier-related loss and damage in the Uga
This thesis explores the intersection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) and sustainability, particularly focusing on the repair, reuse, refurbishment, recycling, and upcycling of IP-protected goods. The lack of a defined legal framework specifically addressing the balance between IPRs and sustainable practices in the European Union forms the core of this investigation. The study proposes a fr
This thesis examines the Satanic cult in horror film – historically and in contemporary horror films. A quantitative analysis of horror films with themes of Satanism and Satanic cults is presented, in which three particular upswings in the themes are seen – one in the 1970s, one in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as one from the mid 2010s and onwards. In the thesis’ second part, The Conjur
The topic of this study is to develop and validate an analysis method of nicotine nasal spray produced at McNeil AB. When developing the analysis method, several parameters were determined in advance to make the method more similar to other analysis methods at the company, making it more practical. However, other parameters were adjusted with the aim to improve the resolution and to fulfil the upd
This thesis examines Ismaʿili individuals’ “lived religion” through personal views on religious values combined with daily practices in German society. Since a Eurocentric view on Islam often fails to recognize the complexities of Muslim communities while emphasizing the Muslim faith as incompatible with “modernity”, the current study of the Ismaʿili branch serves as an example of Muslim practices
