Climate change and increasing urbanization pose huge challenges in managing urban planning for a sustainable future. Intense urbanization resulting in the so-called mega cites aggravates floods by increasing the amount of impermeable surfaces and modifying flow routes. Statistics show that flood disasters are one of the most significant in terms of damages and losses. Urbanization rates are increa
Simple roles for photoreception are likely to have preceded more demanding ones such as vision. The driving force behind this evolution is the improvement and elaboration of animal behaviors using photoreceptor input. Because the basic role for all senses aimed at the external world is to guide behavior, we argue here that understanding this "behavioral drive" is essential for unraveling the evolu
Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative fuel source which can promote energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimize fuel consumption when paired with advanced combustion strategies. Pyrolysis is used to convert lignocellulosic biomass into a complex mixture of phenolic-rich species that can be used in a transportation fuel. Anisole (or methoxybenzene) can be used as a s
Inom projektet Digitalisering av socialt arbete (2016-2017) har Lupita Svensson, fil dr i socialt arbete vid Socialhögskolan, Lunds universitet, och Stefan Larsson, docent i teknik och social förändring vid institutionen för teknik och samhälle på LTH, Lunds universitet, tillsammans med socialtjänstens praktiker, beforskat arbetsprocesser och digitala mötesformer i socialtjänstens arbete och digit
Digitalisering kan främja allmänhetens insyn och öka möjligheterna till vidareutnyttjande av information från den offentliga förvaltningen, men den kan också leda till nya risker för den personliga integriteten. Den här handboken tar ett helhetsgrepp om regleringen av allmänna handlingars offentlighet, vidareutnyttjande, sekretess och dataskydd i det digitala samhället. Medan reglerna om tillgång
Humic‐like substances (HULIS) are a complex group of relatively high molecular weight organic compounds which contribute considerably to the mass of organic carbon (OC) and influence the light‐absorbing properties of aerosols. In this work, HULIS were investigated for the first time in the high‐Arctic atmosphere, focusing on the chemical characterization and mass contribution of HULIS to the total
