Spring staging of Eiders Somateria mollissima in some Swedish east coast archipelagos and at Gotland 2009 and 2010.

The Eider Somateria mollissima is a commonbreeding species in the Baltic. In 2008, Ottossonet al. (2012) estimated that the breeding populationof Eiders in the archipelagoes of the four Swedishcounties of Kalmar, Östergötland, Södermanlandand Stockholm was in the order of 103 000 pairs,whereas the breeding population around Gotlandwas about 6000 pairs. The distribution of breedingEiders in several

Monitoring of Phenology and Population Trends of Lepidopteran Cone Pests in South Swedish Spruce Seed Orchards

Regeneration of Norway spruce, Picea abies, forests is to a large extent depending on the production of seeds from high quality plus trees in orchards. However, the seed yield is variable and unpredictable due to weather, pest insects and diseases. Thus, more knowledge is needed to improve planning of harvest and mitigation of pests and diseases to secure future forest regeneration. In this study,

Predictive modeling and estimation of moisture damages in Swedish buildings : A machine learning approach

Identifying potential moisture damage is crucial for maintenance practices and assurance of well-being of occupants. However, due to limited information availability and standardization, assessing damage prevalence on the building stock scale remains understudied. By combining investigation records and building databases, this study leverages data analytic techniques and machine learning modeling

E-scooters and Traffic Accidents: Evidence from Staggered Roll-Out in Swedish Municipalities

The rapid rise of e-scooters (electric scooters) in cities around the world, boosted by the introduction of shared e-scooter services has visibly reshaped the way people move around cities, sparking both excitement and controversy. With the increase in popularity of these vehicles, concerns regarding their impact on traffic safety and accidents have become a rising public concern. In this paper, w

Stress-Testing a Quasi-Market: Unintended Consequences of the Swedish School Voucher System

Quasi-markets in the provision of public services are increasingly common but also highly contested. We formulate a conceptual framework based on economic theory to describe how quasi-markets differ from traditional markets in five aspects: 1) revenues, costs, and profits; 2) the matching of supply and demand; 3) competition; 4) structural change; and 5) rent-seeking. Using the assumption of profi
