Vegetation is the major source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere, which affect both air quality and climate. Long-term ecosystem-level data on biogenic VOC (BVOC) emissions, however, are limited. This is especially true regarding the impacts of landscape-scale disturbances like clear-cutting on the short-term and longer seasonal-scale emissions of boreal forests, particularly

För att se om brand regimerna i Sverige före större antropogena påverkningar skett år jämförbara med nutida Kanadensiska brand regimer jämförde jag två datasets av brand storlek och antal bränder. Man kan se likheter när Kanada och Sveriges brand regimer jämfördes, men eftersom sökarean varierade mycket (Kanada: hela landet, Sverige: 608km2) och den temporala upplösningen (Kanada: 41 år, Sverige:

The question whether transnational activities can be continued by migrants' children, the second-generation, has been a discussed topic within the field of transnationalism. Being born into one cultural setting while raised in another calls into question the extent of their involvement in diverse transnational activities. This generation of immigrants, more than any other generation, need scho

Importance: Proposal of an innovative approach to clarify the mechanism through which poor cognitive performance in adolescence impacts risk for schizophrenia (SZ).Objective: To determine whether the developmental processes that predispose to SZ are better reflected by the observed cognitive performance in adolescence or the deviation of that performance from the individual's familial cognitive ap

The thesis examines the relationship between the detention regime in the Special Controls of Aliens Act (SFS 1991:572, SCAA) and the right to personal liberty and security; the presumption of innocence; and the principle of legality. The aim is to assess whether the legislation is a suitable counter-terrorism measure from a rule of law perspective. The thesis also aims to place the SCAA in an inte

Background and purpose — Reported revision rates due to dislocation after hemiarthroplasty span a wide range. Dislocations treated with closed reduction are rarely reported despite the fact that they can be expected to constitute most of the dislocations that occur. We aimed to describe the total dislocation rate on the national level, and to identify risk factors for dislocation. Patients and met

This study aims to investigate and disentangle the impact of land use and climate variability on the Baltic Sea coastal zone from a millennial perspective. To assess the environmental status of the coastal zone we make use of siliceous microfossils (mainly diatoms), stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes, organic carbon accumulation rates, and lithological changes analyzed in a sediment core collecte
