Kullabergs tumlare styrs av dygns- och månfas I havet runt Kullaberg i Skåne lever Sveriges enda val – tumlaren (Phocoena phocoena). Tumlaren är en liten tandval som mestadels lever ensam och som använder ett slags inbyggt ekolod, kallad biosonar, för att navigera, kommunicera och hitta fisk att äta.

Abstract Rivers deliver substantial amounts of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to estuaries, but the effects of these inputs on the ecosystem depend on the degree to which the nutrients are bioavailable. The nutrient bioavailability is poorly known in northern regions of Scandinavia where most of the nutrients are organic. To simplify the measurements of nutrient bioavailability and

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De skånska bokskogarna. Vad kan krypen säga? Det är mycket som påverkar våra skogar i dag. Vägar som delar upp dem i mindre delar och lantbruk och kvävenedfall som stör balansen för vad som ska växa i skogens utkanter med sin gödsling.

Skogens hälsa påverkas självklart av detta, Abstract Deforestation, fragmentation and loss of biodiversity, all are elements that are common today. With this project I want to evaluate if there is a difference in functional diversity of evertebrates between beech stands of low herb and shrub type beech forest. I also want to test if there is a difference within tested areas between low herb and shrub type forests, but also if here is a dif

A large number of studies have explored the relations between unemployment and alcohol-related health, but so far there is no consensus among the results. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring how unemployment is related to overall alcohol consumption as well as to the rates of alcohol poisoning, alcohol addiction and alcohol-related liver disease. A fixed effects model is used on

Research show that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries today, after narcotics and illegal arms trade (The Polaris Project 2014). The most common victims of human trafficking are stated to be women and children (UNODC 2012). According to the UNICEF (2007), 1,2 million children are estimated to be exposed to trafficking for various exploitative purposes every year aro

International migration facilitated by contemporary globalization has brought about feelings of insecurity in terms of identity for both the host societies as well as incoming immigrants posing a major obstacle in host countries to integrate immigrants into society.
