Weathering rates are of considerable importance in estimating the acidification sensitivity and recovery capacity of soil and are thus important in the assessment of the sustainability of forestry in a time of changing climate and growing demands for forestry products. In this study, we modelled rates of weathering in mineral soil at two forested sites in southern Sweden included in a monitoring n
Extreme environmental conditions make soils of the hyper-arid Atacama Desert one of the most hostile habitats for life on the planet. During the short intervals of moisture availability that occur, it remains unresolved how soil microorganisms physiologically respond to such dramatic environmental changes. Therefore, we simulated a precipitation event – without (H2O) and with (H2O + C) labile carb
Effective management of macronutrients is pivotal in the optimization and provisioning of ecosystem services in grassland areas, particularly in degraded grasslands. In such instances where mowing and nitrogen (N) fertilization have emerged as predominant management strategies, nutrient management is especially important. However, the precise effects of these concurrent practices on the distributi
Terrestrial ecosystems have absorbed roughly 30 % of anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the past decades, but it is unclear whether this carbon (C) sink will endure into the future. Despite extensive modeling and experimental and observational studies, what fundamentally determines transient dynamics of terrestrial C storage under global change is still not very clear. Here we develop a new framewor
Aim: Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to make predictions on how species distributions may change as a response to climatic change. To assess the reliability of those predictions, they need to be critically validated with respect to what they are used for. While ecologists are typically interested in how and where distributions will change, we argue that SDMs have seldom been eva
Godssektorn spås bli en tidig användare av självkörande fordonsteknik. Minskade drivmedelskostnader, ökad flexibilitet i ruttplaneringen och utökade drifttider är exempel på incitament för godsföretag att ställa om till en självkörande lastbilsflotta. Automatiseringen kommer mest sannolikt ske gradvis. I tidiga skeden spås självkörande lastbilar (AT:s) ha en konservativ körstil där körfältsbyten uThe truck sector is thought to be one of the first adopters of autonomous driving technology. Reduced fuel- and labour costs, increased flexibility in scheduling and increased hours of service, are all incentives for the freight companies to go autonomous. The automation of the truck fleet is likely to be gradual. At first, autonomous trucks (AT:s) are expected to have a conservative driving style
With the emergence of industrialisation, the work-life balance has become a point of discussion in many industries, among which the aviation industry. Distortions in the work-life balance became especially apparent when 24/7 economies evolved, and industries made a transition to facilitate and serve these economies. Incidents and accident have since then been related to fatigue more than before. T
Inventory control is a subject that impacts more or less every section of most businesses, hence companies today view it as a crucial problem of strategic importance (Axsäter, 2015). Managing inventory is a complex task which can be made even more complex by considering multiple items interacting with each other throughout the supply network. This master thesis attempts to show, through a case stu
The idea for nature based research design emerged in preparation of a workshop and subsequent exhibition regarding minimal surfaces, supervised by Andreas Hopf, Senior Lecturer at Lund University School of Industrial Design, and supported by Prof. Dr. Konrad Polthier (Chair Mathematical Geometry Processing, FU Berlin) at the DESIGNMAI digital crafts event in Berlin in 2007, for which Swedish desig
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en överblick över det nya, men snabbt växande, konceptet crowdsourcing. Konceptet kan enkelt beskrivas som en åtgärd att ta en uppgift som vanligtvis utförs av en utsedd arbetspresterande part (vanligtvis en anställd) och outsourca denna till en odefinerad, anonym och generellt stort grupp av människor i form av en ”öppen inbjudan”. Marknaden har under det senastThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the new, but rapidly growing, concept of crowdsourcing. The basis of the concept can be described as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. In the last couple of decades, the market has exploded
Offentliga inköp av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader som görs av statliga och kommunala myndigheter måste föregås av en offentlig upphandling enligt lag (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling. Leverantören av varan, tjänsten eller byggentreprenaden som anser att en upphandling inte har gått rätt till, kan ansöka om överprövning av en upphandling till allmän förvaltningsdomstol enligt 16 kap. 4 Swedish contracting authorities purchasing public goods, services and public works contracts, are obliged to follow Swedish law on Public Procurement Act (2007:1091). If the procurement has not been correctly performed, an economic operator can apply for a review to the administrative court according to Chapter 16 § 4 in the Swedish law on Public Procurement Act. The regulation is based on Europea
Entrepreneurs have difficulties in performing maintenance activities due to the increasing intensity of train services and failing infrastructure. Annually, the state loses billions of SEK due to delays caused by failures in infrastructure or maintenance not performed on time. The largest amounts of delays occur during winter time, when our infrastructure cannot cope with the climate as it is expo
Detta examensarbete är gjort i syfte att undersöka gröna tak som en alternativ taktäckning. Vi har undersökt de vanligaste orsakerna till varför gröna tak väljs bort, fördelar med gröna tak samt dess konstruktion. Gröna tak har funnits i olika former sedan 900-talet före Kristus. Då bestod takträdgårdarna till största delen av träd, buskar och klängväxter i krukor. I Skandinavien byggde man många This thesis is made in order to review green roofs as an alternative roof covering. We have studied the common sources why green roofs are not selected and its advantages and construction. Green Roofs have existed in different shapes since year 900 before Christ, when the gardens were built up with trees, bushes and climbing root in pots. In Scandinavia, many centuries later, roof coverings were m
Inventories are one of the largest investments made by trading companies and as a result an e®ective inventory control is important to obtain a low opportunity cost of capital for the carried items. Despite this, many small and middle sized companies lack access to a high-quality tool for this purpose. The past few years have also showed that the Internet as a sales channel has become of greater i
Varumärkesrätten inom den Europeiska Unionen förbjuder registreringen av varumärken som är beskrivande för varan eller tjänsten, eller en av dess egenskaper, för vilket varumärket ansöks. Kravet har ansetts vara en undergrupp till det generella kravet på att ett varumärke måste ha särskiljningsförmåga, som krävs för att uppfylla det grundläggande syftet med varumärken, nämligen att identifiera ursThe trademark regime of the European Union prohibits the registration of marks that are descriptive of the goods or services, or their characteristics, for which the mark is applied. This has been interpreted as a sub-group of the general prohibition of marks that lack distinctiveness and that thusly cannot fulfil the essential function of trademarks, i.e. identifying origin. However, while some
Stora inlandsisar har vid upprepade tillfällen täckt Sveriges yta och den senast inlandsisen började dra sig tillbaka från Bohusläns kust för ca 15 000 år sedan. En inlandsis rör sig sakta framåt över underlaget och när den gör så kan stenar infrusna i isens botten skrapa berggrunden och bilda långa räfflor, flisor kan brytas loss ur berget och stora block kan också frysa fast i isen och transportRamsvikslandet on the Swedish west coast is characterized by exposed bedrock hills with numerous glacial erosional forms. Previous research in the area has mostly focused on individual forms and their relation to the larger forms, such as roches moutonnées. This study takes a more large-scale perspective and aims to reconstruct the subglacial processes based on the erosional forms and their distri
År 2000 satte den Europeiska Unionen ett strategiskt mål att bli en större, mer konkurrenskraftig ekonomisk region med stark tillväxt för ekonomi och arbetskraft. En viktig komponent i att nå detta mål är att utveckla den inre marknaden och stödja den fria rörligheten för varor, kapital, tjänster och personer inom den Europeiska Unionen. Kommissionen har identifierat skillnader i Medlemsstaternas In 2000, the European Union set out the strategic goal to become a more competitive, stronger economic region with sustainable growth in terms of economy and jobs. An important part in achieving this goal is the complete establishment of the internal market to fully promote freedom of movement of goods, capital, services and people within the European Union. The Commission has identified diversity

This master’s thesis examines the museum as a commodity and the consequences that has on the Hallwyl museum. The museum is a former private palace built in 1893-1898 as the Stockholm home for Wilhelmina von Hallwyl (1844-1930) and her family. The palace was constructed with the intention to become a museum and she donated the house to the Swedish state. The museum opened in 1938 and is today incor
Background: Today, the environmental challenge presents a growing concern for the food supply chains around the world; and developing countries in particular, suffer from it. UN Global Compact has defined environmental sustainability as dealing with three main environmental challenges: climate change, water and sanitation, and food and agriculture. Digital tools have disruptive potential, especial
