Artificial Intelligence has become a hot topic as improvements in available technologies previously considered science fiction, like image recognition, language processing, and self-driving vehicles, are becoming financially viable. Further, several studies point to how automation of processes will increase efficiency in a variety of white-collar sectors. The public sector is no exception, and the

Oroande trend för svenska blåhakar Blåhakern är en karaktärsart i svenska fjällen och de flesta vandrare med öra för fågelsång har nog hört denna häpnadsväckande fågel sjunga bland fjällbjörkar eller på fjällheden. Studier från bl a Finland har visat att nordliga långflyttare såsom blåhaken har visat sig särskild sårbara för effekter av den pågående klimatförändringen. Tundran, däribland de svensArctic ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to climate warming due to large-scale changes in temperature, followed by altered community structure. Northern birds are subject to population reduction and range contraction in Europe and many mountainous birds show negative trends. Even if global trends are clear, local studies on a detailed level are needed to obtain more information on possible

Making Europe climate neutral by 2050 is the primary goal of the European Green Deal. This goal has given rise to sustainable finance and action plans for financing sustainable growth. Such commitment is ensured by the legal initiatives put forward by the Commission. The Non-Financial Reporting Directive introduced the requirements for some firms to produce a sustainability report based on disclos

The rural-urban divide is a long-established construct in sociology. More recently, the choice of rural youths to remain or move to an urban setting has attracted substantial research interest. One factor surrounding the choice situation of the youths consists of officially sanctioned norms in the form of the discourse of the state, in particular on the three key terms rural, urban and youth. The

A new regulation regarding sustainability is currently being implemented by the EU. The EU Taxonomy Regulation, TR, is a classification system that defines sustainable economic activities and standardizes the reporting of sustainability factors for both non-financial companies and financial market participants. The purpose of the regulation is to facilitate sustainable investments and limit the ri

Artificial intelligence is a topic that receives large amounts of interest from all parts of society as it promises to have a wide impact on all parts of society ranging from the ways people work and live, to the economy and progress to the sustainable development goals. Following from this, the technical prospects of AI innovations, and their potential for societal impact have received a lot of s

Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. I och med FN:s klimatpanels återkommande rapporter om klimatförändringen och den Europeiska Unionens nya kli

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

Few have been left unaffected by the outbreak and consequent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One group of people, namely those pregnant during the pandemic, faced a unique set of circumstances that this research has aimed to understand. The purpose of this research was to contribute to filling the knowledge gap by delving into the risk perception and protective behaviours adapted by pregnant peop

Är energigemenskaper ett lämpligt verktyg för att nå 100% förnybar energi till 2040? Den överhängande klimatförändringen innebär att människan står inför hennes kanske viktigaste vägskäl någonsin. Det börjar låta som en trop, men om vi inte börjar leva mer hållbart kommer våren kanske tystna för evigt. Energisystemet är en fundamental del i övergången till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Därför har
