Fire has shaped terrestrial ecosystems for hundreds of millions of years. Human activities dramatically shift natural fire regimes, leading to adverse conservation impacts that are projected to increase in severity. Many animals appear ill-equipped to face these drastic changes, and they may be unable to adapt rapidly enough. In contrast, behavioural plasticity could offer a faster solution to ach

Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br

This thesis analyses the problem of how to organise a multidisciplinary domain of knowledge like architecture. The study is both theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part include discussions of theories of knowledge organisation. Two different principles of classification were examined in relation to the domain itself, as well as in relation to the educational programme at the School of Arch

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Om ett föremål skjuts på från två olika håll, då är det ofta svårt att veta i vilken riktning det slutligen kommer att röra sig. Ännu svårare blir det förstås, om storleken på de pådrivande krafterna är okänd. Vassen i sjön Vänern är nu i en liknande, nästan villrådig fas. Den kan besluta att växa och ta sig vidare ut i vattnet, eller att minska och på så vis håA new regulation of water levels in lake Vänern, causes reason to expect reed to spread over larger areas. However, geese have the opposite effect, that is, their grazing on reed is expected to reduce the reed distribution. Hence, grazing by geese on reed will be monitored to cover the larger variables that affect the reed distribution after the introduction of the new water regulation. A method f

Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires.
