The Church has been a dominant actor in the history of care and social support, but it met several restrictions during the 20th Century. The Church of Sweden now has,since the separation from the state A.D. 2000, the possibility to act as a "welfare entrepreneur". But the willingness to do so seems limited. Even if innovative examples are seen the parishes hesitate for organisational and ideologic
How we behave in daily life has an impact on environmental emergencies. In the decisions that we take every day, decisions that are important for the climate, the built environment has a vital but not so noticed part. The project Urban design and everyday life choices recognises the built environment as a co-producer of climate ethics. One of the project studies focuses on everyday choices regardi
AbstractBackground: Non-communicable diseases are the number one killer worldwide and the leading one,cardiovascular disease (CVD), is responsible for more than 30% of all deaths. CVD is a progressive disease whichalso makes it economical, easy and effective to prevent. There are many stages of CVD that ultimately can lead tocoronary atherosclerosis, measurable as coronary artery calcification (CA
A central concept raised by the climate justice movement is climate debt. Here, the claims and warrants of the movement support for climate debt is identified through an argumentation analysis of their central manifestos. It is found that the climate debt claim is understood as primarily restorative, in the sense that the environmental space of the developing countries must be returned, “decoloniz
Background: Severe diminished foot somatosensation, for example, caused by neuropathies and advanced aging, contributes to balance deficits and increased fall risk. However, little is known about somatosensory impairment and functional and subjective balance problems in relatively healthy elderly. Method: Vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) were assessed with a biothesiometer and tactile pressu
Intensification of arable crop production degrades soil health and production potential through loss of soil organic carbon. This, potentially, reduces agriculture's resilience to climate change and thus food security. Furthermore, the expected increase in frequency of adverse and extreme weather events due to climate change are likely to affect crop yields differently, depending on when in the gr
In this study, the processes behind observed new particle formation (NPF) events and subsequent organic-dominated particle growth at the Pallas Atmosphere-Ecosystem Supersite in Northern Finland are explored with the one-dimensional column trajectory model ADCHEM. The modeled sub-micron particle mass is up to ∼75 % composed of SOA formed from highly oxidized multifunctional organic molecules (HOMs
This paper seeks to expand our lens on educational desires, parenting and shifting notions of childhood and learning in East Asia and beyond. While not explicitly centered on migration, I suggest that the educational mobilities needs to be understood in relation to a growing tension between parents’ desire to achieve conventional success and the desire to nurture the child’s emotional well-being.

Continuous evaluation of model results against observational data isvital to improving model projections of the structure and function offorest ecosystems. In this poster, we evaluate the forest management module of LPJ-GUESS (ver. 4. 1.2, rev 11016) across a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. The poster was presented at the LPJ-GUESS Community Meeting in Lund, May 3rd, 2023.

The boreal forest covers approximately 12 million km² and contains one-third of the terrestrial vegetation carbon, making it a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The impact of forest harvesting (e.g. clear-cuts) and forest fires on forest carbon budgets under climate change is still not well understood. This study presents results from simulations with the process-based dynamic globalvege
Den växande efterfrågan på hållbar och miljövänlig elproduktion, tillsammans med globala osäkerheter, understryker behovet för nationer att uppnå självförsörjande produktion av el. Kärnkraft, som står för cirka 30% av Sveriges elproduktion, spelar en avgörande roll i att leverera fossilfri el. Eftersom många kärnkraftverk närmar sig slutet av sin planerade livslängd är det avgörande att förlänga dThe growing demand for sustainable electricity production, coupled with global uncertainties, highlights the need for nations to achieve self-sufficiency in producing electricity. Nuclear power, which provides around 30% of Sweden's electricity, plays a critical role in delivering fossil-free electricity. As many nuclear plants are near the end of their designated lifespans, extending their operat
Boreal and temperate forests are undergoing structural, compositional and functional changes in response to increasing temperatures, changes in precipitation, and rising CO2, but the extent of the changes in forests will also depend on current and future forest management. This study utilized the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS enabled with forest management (version 4.1.2, rev11016) to simulat
In post-peace agreement Colombia, everyone declared war on the forest. In the Putumayo region, these wars take their own particular forms. Scientifically, the Putumayo is described as an Andean-Amazonic rainforest. For the indigenous and local inhabitants of the Putumayo, it is the Andean-Amazonic selva. We present three wars on the forest with material and discursive specificities and critically
Wetland methane responses to temperature and precipitation are studied in a boreal wetland-rich region in northern Europe using ecosystem process models. Six ecosystem models (JSBACH-HIMMELI, LPX-Bern, LPJ-GUESS, JULES, CLM4.5, and CLM5) are compared to multi-model means of ecosystem models and atmospheric inversions from the Global Carbon Project and upscaled eddy covariance flux results for thei
Non-technical summaryEnsuring more equitable transformations requires addressing how different contextual dimensions of identity, such as gender and class, hinder equity. However, previous analyses on equity have addressed these dimensions separately. We suggest advancing beyond these methods by integrating intersectional analysis into the distributive, procedural, and recognition aspects of equit
Given the important role of the land surface for climate, this study aims at (1) to evaluate the quality of the simulation of surface climate by the land-surface component of the EC-Earth3 ESM and (2) to assess the role of the coupling of the land surface with the atmosphere for the simulation of the surface climate in EC-Earth3. It is based on three simulations with different configurations of th
Boreal forests play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and currently act as an important carbon sink. At the same time, these forests are increasingly affected by intensive forest management and a changing disturbance regime driven by climate change. Clear-cutting has been the dominant harvesting method in managed boreal forests, while wildfire, although rare over the last century in Sweden
Boreal forests are key to global carbon (C) sequestration and storage. However, the potential impacts of climate change on these forests could be profound. Nearly 70 % of the European boreal forests are intensively managed, but our understanding of the combined effects of forest management and climate change on the forest's integral role as a C sink is still limited. In this study, we aim to fill
The Fennoscandian boreal and mountain regions harbour a wide range of vegetation types, from boreal forest to high alpine tundra and barren soils. The area is facing a rise in air temperature above the global average and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. This is expected to alter the Fennoscandian vegetation composition and change the conditions for areal land use such as forestry
