Land cover and land management changes (LCLMCs) have a substantial impact on the global carbon budget and, consequently, on global climate via the biogeochemical (BGC) effects. The commonly considered BGC effects refer to the direct influence of LCLMCs on local carbon stocks (local BGC effects). However, LCLMCs also influence climate by altering the local surface energy balance due to changes in l
Abstract: This paper provides one of the first studies on the role of social media in shaping collective memory in contemporary China. Social media enable the ordinary to participate in creating, interacting, and distributing alternative narratives of the past. Therefore, collective memory has being reconfigured under the influence of social media. Nevertheless, previous collective memory studies
Popular Abstract in Swedish Synergonomiska bedömningar och interventioner genomfördes på icke-dator relaterade arbetsuppgifter vid återvinningsanläggningar, postsorteringsanläggningar och i operationssalar. Resultaten kan i viss mån tillämpas på andra yrken och arbetsplatser. Syftet med forskningen var att undersöka vilken påverkan synergonomiska interventioner hade vad gällande ögonbesvär, muskulVisual ergonomics evaluations and interventions were performed on non-computer work tasks at recycling facilities, post sorting facilities and operating theatres. The results can to some extent be applicable to other professions and workplaces. The purpose of the research was to investigate the effects of visual ergonomics interventions on eyestrain, musculoskeletal discomfort, headache, and visua
Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (
The Swedish pulp and paper industry (PPI) accounts for almost 50 percent of industrial final energy use. It is an energy-intensive industry and process optimization is seen as prerequisite to compete on the global market. This alone should motivate company boards and on-site organisations to put energy management high on the agenda. Definitely, from time to time, energy issues (e.g. fuel shifts, s
The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho
Högre utbildning (meaning Higher Education) is a Swedish peer-reviewed Open Access journal launched in 2010. The purpose for starting the journal was twofold: to support the development of knowledge about teaching and learning in a primarily Swedish and Nordic Higher education context, and to support the development of SoTL. In International journals perspectives from Britain, Australia and North
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kassava är ett stärkelserikt livsmedel, jämförbart med potatis. Det produceras främst i jordens tropiska regionerna och är ett viktigt livsmedel i Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava har stora fördelar som gröda eftersom avkastningen är hög, den har god motståndskraft mot sjukdomar, den växer även på mager jord och den är motståndskraftig mot torka. Emellertid, kassava har Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. The crop has growth advantages and production can take place in soil where other crops such as maize, sorghum and sweet potatoes can
Haemophilus influenzae is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia. While studied extensively in various laboratory models, less is known about the cell function while inside the human lung. We present the first analysis of the global gene expression of H. influenzae while the bacteria are in the lung during pneumonia ( in vivo conditions) and contrast it with bacterial isolates that have
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is a hyperthermal event at ∼56 Ma ago, caused by rapid and massive carbon releases into the ocean-atmosphere system. Currently, the PETM ocean acidification is mainly quantified in the surface ocean. By contrast, PETM carbonate chemistry changes of the deep ocean, a larger carbon reservoir, are largely qualitatively constrained by sedimentary calcium car
In the last years we have witnessed an increased number of experimental performances that engage with children. Shows made in collaboration and/or performed by children. Children on stage, children as our tour guides through cities, children leading us though darkness. There are many ways to analyze this ‘interest’ including curatorial schemes encouraging participation, funding agendas, institutio
Clouds are essential elements within Earth's atmosphere, posing a challenge for cloud-resolving models in understanding the creation of new cloud ice particles from existing ice and liquid phases. Such ice initiation determines cloud microphysical and radiative properties, influencing cloud phase, precipitation and cloud extent/properties. To address this challenge effectively, it proves beneficia
Doppler evaluation of the aortic isthmus, located between the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus, can provide important information on fetal hemodynamic adaptation/deterioration related to intrauterine hypoxia. The aortic isthmus acts as a shunt deviating part of the blood flow from ductus arteriosus to the cranial circulation to maintain a normal oxygen delivery to the fetal brain.
