Modeling the seasonality of carbon, evapotranspiration and heat processes for cold climate conditions TRITA-LWR LIC 2054. Licentiate Thesis in Land and Water Resources Engineering. KTH Architecture and the Built Environment, Stockholm

The productivity of agricultural and forest ecosystems in regions at higher latitudes is to a large extent governed by low temperature and moisture conditions. Environmental conditions are acting both above- and below-ground and regulating carbon fluxes and evapotranspiration. However, the understanding of various feedbacks between vegetation and environmental conditions is still unclear. In this

Essays on stochastic volatility

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem stycken artiklar som analyserar och estimerar finansiella prisprocesser. Alla artiklarna handlar också om stokastiska volatilitetsprocesser som estimeras med Bayesiansk statistik och Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) metoder. Det första pappret utvecklar en modell för att mäta den amerikanska och de regionala europeiska aktiemarknadernas påverkThis dissertation consists of five papers concerned with the estimation and analysis of financial price processes. The first paper develops a stock price model and analyzes the impact of the US and the regional European stock markets on the local European countries’ stock markets. Among several things, we find that the dependencies among the stock markets do not increase during periods of distress

A climate-change risk analysis for world ecosystems

We quantify the risks of climate-induced changes in key ecosystem processes during the 21st century by forcing a dynamic global vegetation model with multiple scenarios from 16 climate models and mapping the proportions of model runs showing forest/nonforest shifts or exceedance of natural variability in wildfire frequency and freshwater supply. Our analysis does not assign probabilities to scenar

Reassessing Emissions in the Lucky Country: Consumption, Production & Outsourcing in Australia (1995 – 2009)

Despite a small population, Australia is globally relevant as the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the OECD and the world’s largest exporter of coal. Australia is also uniquely positioned amongst developed nations as being both acutely exposed to climate change impacts and being without coherent energy and emissions policies. This study reassesses Australia’s emissions profile uti

Green IS in SMEs

This research is inspired by the concerns of deterioration of the environment by human activities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 90% of all businesses in the world. SMEs as organizational level members of societies are responsible for environmental sustainability as other society members for the damages of their business activities to the environment. The current study aims

Behövs det en reform av FN:s Säkerhetsråd?

Säkerhetsrådet ska i enlighet med art. 39 FN-stadgan vidta kollektiva åtgärder för att bevara den internationella freden och säkerheten. Säkerhetsrådet kan inom ramen för detta uppdrag vidta militära och icke-militära åtgärder under stadgans kapitel VII. För att Säkerhetsrådet ska kunna agera krävs att de fem permanenta medlemmarna Frankrike, Kina, Ryssland (Sovjetunionen), Storbritannien och USA

Temporal and spatial distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon in the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is a pivotal component of the carbon cycle and is sensitive to environmental disturbances. In the context of the Tibetan Plateau, its spatial and temporal variations in DIC concentrations and flux have substantial implications for regional and global carbon cycles, which, however, remains poorly understood. This study harmonized a large database of riverine DIC obs

Manual-free software for a technical instrument

In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a

Country of ownership change in the premium segment : consequences for brand image

Purpose: This paper aims to explore how the ownership transfer from a highly industrialised country to less industrialised countries influences consumers’ brand perceptions. Design/methodology/approach: Three acquisition cases of premium car brands (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) are investigated using qualitative data from online brand communities. Findings: When country of ownership (COOW) for br

Global outsourcing of carbon emissions 1995–2009: A reassessment

Increasing global production fragmentation allows for outsourcing of emissions, which may undermine national climate policies. Researchers focusing on the gap between consumption-based and production-based emissions have concluded that developed countries are systematically outsourcing emissions to developing countries. However, asymmetries in emissions embodied in trade may emerge due to differen

Air pollution online : Everyday environmental information on the social media site Sina Weibo

Purpose: This study explores how information on air pollution is shaped online on an everyday basis, with a particular emphasis on digital devices and digital representations as constitutive of environmental information practices. Furthermore, this research highlights an understudied aspect of air pollution – the digital flow of multimodal representations that citizens encounter and produce in the

FOREIGN BRANCH CAMPUSES IN MALAYSIA : STATE ACTION AND CONSUMER CHOICES REVISITED

This research evaluates the effect and reasons of popularity of an Australian and British Branch University in Malaysia. The intention of the case study-based research was to produce an analytical overview of the countries widespread University twinning programs at local higher education institutes. The socio-economic underpinnings of the Asian Financial Crisis upon the Education sector are analyz

Impacts of dams on lowland agriculture in the Mekong River catchment

På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att bygga
