Remote sensing provides spatially and temporally continuous measures of forest reflectance, and vegetation indices calculated from satellite data can be useful for monitoring climate change impacts on forest tree phenology. Monitoring of evergreen coniferous forest is more difficult than monitoring of deciduous forest, as the new buds only account for a small proportion of the green biomass, and t

The addition of crop residues is a common farming practice to increase the organic carbon content of agricultural soils with particular importance in organically managed crops. Residues can be added either from the crop plant itself or from other plants and the type of litter may differentially affect decomposer populations. Effects of litter addition may cascade up to affect generalist predators

BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether the four main manifestations of arterial vascular disease (coronary heart disease=CHD, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease=PAD, and aortic (i.e. atherosclerosis/aneurysm) disease=AD) share familial susceptibility. The aim of this nationwide study was to determine the familial risks of concordant (same disease in proband and exposed relative) and dis

The demand for cheaper and more efficient solar cells is high. One way to decrease cost of material, while maintaining a high degree of efficiency, is to take advantage of nanomaterials. A thin film containing pn-junction nanowires can convert light with an efficiency comparable to traditional planar cells, while using a fraction of the material, and thus reduce costs. At the company Sol Voltaics

The current conflict in Syria has resulted in a major refugee disaster. The lack of legal refugee routes to Europe is forcing refugees to hire smugglers to escape war in their homeland. They are often forced to pay large sums of money for the hazardous journey across the Mediterranean Sea and further through Europe. These journeys are often far stretched and not many are successful. Due to the war

Ett av livets största beslut är beslutet om föräldraskap. Det är dessutom ett beslut som i slutändan görs av modern, eftersom det är hon som tar beslutet om abort. Härigenom uppstår en situation som inte är jämställd, vilket har orsakat en viss debatt den senaste tiden. Debatten gäller huruvida det bör finnas en rätt för fadern att göra en så kallad juridisk abort, alltså en möjlighet att avsäga sThe choice to become a parent is not an easy one to make, moreover it is today a choice more likely to be made by the mother. She has the opportunity of abortion, whereas the father can’t affect his becoming a parent after the moment of conception. This constitutes a situation of inequality between the sexes, which this year has caused a debate to arise in social media as well as in news papers. I

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka barnets rätt till skydd i förhållande till den straffrättsliga garantläran. Uppsatsen har arbetats fram med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod och ramas in av ett rättskritiskt perspektiv såväl som ett barnperspektiv. Genom barnkonventionen har barnet ett omfattande skydd. Principen om barnets bästa ska gälla i alla samhälleliga beslut och åtgärder. VidareThe purpose of this essay is to examine children’s right to protection in relation to the doctrine of omission responsibility (Swedish: garantläran). I have used a traditional judicial method to examine the upcoming problems. The perspectives chosen are a critical perspective as well as a children’s view perspective. The United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child states that all childre

Material traceability is an important part of industrial manufacturing, especially in systems where quality, reliability, and documentation requirements are high. In many companies, traceability is often assumed to already exist because there are certificates, ERP systems, production documents, and established routines. However, during this study, it became clear that having information available

This thesis investigates how existing urban environments can be adapted to strengthen climate resilience and improve everyday access to urban rest within dense cities. Urban rest is understood as restorative conditions within the everyday urban environment, where opportunities for pause, recovery, and social interaction can occur across both public and semi-private spaces. The thesis identifies an

Mot bakgrund av det historiskt låga barnafödsantalet i Sverige och den diskussion som omger detta, intresserar sig studien för hur barnfria individer, särskilt kvinnor, upplever att de blir bemötta i relation till pronatalistiska normer. Vidare ökar i samband med det sjunkande barnantalet, även uppmärksammandet av de som inte vill ha barn, det vill säga barnfria. Studien syftar därmed till att und

Aim: There is currently no comprehensive overview of how speech and language pathologists (SLPs) in Sweden manage patients with functional dysphagia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to map how Swedish SLPs manage patients with functional dysphagia and how they experience working with this patient group. Method: This study is a surveybased cross-sectional study. Data were collected from licens

Denna studie undersöker unga svenska kvinnors syn på romantiska relationer i förhållande till självständighet och risk. Studien syftar även till att undersöka hur unga kvinnor konstruerar livet som ett projekt. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med nio unga kvinnor. Kvinnornas berättelser förstås utifrån Beck, Beck-Gernsheim och Giddens individualiseringsteorier samt West och Zimmermans teoThis study examines young women's views on romantic relationships in relation to independence and risk assessment. The study also aims to investigate how young women construct their lives as a project. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine young women. Their narratives are analysed through Beck, Beck-Gernsheim, and Giddens' theories of individualization, as well as West and Z

Framtida samhällsutmaningar och ett ökat behov av teknisk kompetens gör det viktigt att förstå hur en bredare grupp unga kan attraheras till ingenjörsyrket. Föreliggande studie undersöker hur olika framställningar av en ingenjörsroll påverkar ungas intresse för yrket. Studien utgår från målkongruensteorin som förklarar att karriärintresse påverkas av huruvida individer uppfattar att ett yrke kan uFuture societal challenges and the need for technical competence highlight the importance of understanding how engineering can attract a broader group of young people. The present study examines how different framings of an engineering role influence young people’s interest in the occupation. The study was based on Goal Congruity Theory, which suggests that career interest is shaped by whether peo

Objective: Interactive patient education, referred to as Heart School (HS), is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after myocardial infarction (MI), which has been associated with improved outcomes. Little is known about HS attendance among foreign-born patients. The aims were to assess; 1) HS attendance in foreign-born versus native-born patients, 2) the association between the provi

Romosozumab has not shown a beneficial effect on human fracture healing. Background: Fracture healing is a complex process. Uncertainty exists over the influence of osteoporosis and the medications used to treat it on fracture healing. Methods: Narrative revi

PURPOSE: Several studies have indicated that broad genomic characterization of childhood cancer provides diagnostically and/or therapeutically relevant information in selected high-risk cases. However, the extent to which such characterization offers clinically actionable data in a prospective broadly inclusive setting remains largely unexplored.METHODS: We implemented prospective whole-genome seq

Syftet med den här studien är att bidra med kunskap kring hur medias rapportering av stress - i ett diskursivt perspektiv - ser ut avseende män och kvinnor samt om det finns några skillnader i språkbruk och omfattning. Studien behandlar hur diskursen om mäns och kvinnors stress konstrueras i media, samt om dessa diskurser reproducerar traditionella könsroller som står i konflikt med jämställdhetsm

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om svenska företag resultatmanipulerar åren innan konkurs. Dessutom syftar denna studie till att undersöka om mängden resultatmanipulering åren innan konkurs korrelerar med hur kapitalintensiva företagen är och med företagens storlek. Metod: Studien har använt den modifierade Jones-modellen för att mäta mängden resultatmanipulering bland 738 svenska

Under de senaste åren har de skett en avsevärd ökning av brott som begås av unga män i Sverige. Från stöld till rån med våld fortsätter brott att vara en ständig hot mot samhället. Behovet att övervinna de flesta av dessa problem har lett många myndigheter så som brottsförebygganderådet till att söka lösningar genom statistik på ett problem som de ibland hittar orsakerna till. Men bakom varje brot
