Small area childhood stunting risk estimations remain a critical tool for shaping the surveillance policies of such a public health concern. With classical statistical methods, stunting risk metrics are mainly reported at a national level, which inhibits fine-scale insights at a more localized level. To this end, we implemented a novel multilevel small area estimation (SAE) approach for effectivel
Solar energy is an important source of clean energy to combat climate change issues that motivate the establishment of solar farms. Establishing solar farms has been considered a proper alternative for energy production in countries like Mozambique, which need reliable and clean sources of energy for sustainable development. However, selecting proper sites for creating solar farms is a function of
In the following study, using highly-developed remote sensing methodologies, a historical over-ten-year study of the LULC phenomenon of the Khorezm Oasis was conducted. The analysis provides valuable insights about agricultural change, water management policies and the alteration of LULC in the region, including several processes, changes in plants and irrigation levels, population density and gro
Land use allocation (LUA) is of prime importance for the development of urban sustainability and resilience. Since the process of planning and managing land use requires balancing different conflicting social, economic, and environmental factors, it has become a complex and significant issue in urban planning worldwide. LUA is usually regarded as a spatial multi-objective optimization (MOO) proble
This thesis investigates the relationship between the “New Negro” moment of the early twentieth-century America and the Old World of Europe, as represented in James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1912), Jessie Fauset’s There is Confusion (1924), and Nella Larsen’s Quicksand (1928). In the nineteenth century, Europe functioned as a symbol of freedom, education and art in t
Subarctic ecosystems are predicted to experience the fastest responses to climate change on the planet, with dramatically altered vegetation patterns, frost dynamics and hydrological flow paths. The resulting change in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export to river systems is poorly known, but reports of rising DOC in northern surface waters have led to widespread speculations on a possible climat

Until recently, such efforts mainly involved delivery of growth factors and cell transplants designed to rescue or replace a sp

Environmental changes over time and across different regions profoundly affect agriculture, forestry, water management, public health, and ecosystems. Therefore, monitoring these fluctuations is crucial for informing decision-making and developing strategies for long-term sustainability. While ground-based methods provide valuable insights into environmental dynamics, they are inherently limited i
Childhood stunting is a serious global public health issue that exhibits local spatial variations. Previous studies have used traditional statistical methods to identify stunting risk factors, and little is known about the application and usefulness of spatial machine learning techniques in identifying localized stunting risk factors based on complex datasets. This study assesses the performance o
Sverige och Kanada är de första och enda länderna i världen vilka deklarerat en feministisk utrikespolitik. Politiken menar att ett ökat arbete för stärkt kvinnlig egenmakt är en förutsättning för att kunna nå de bredare utrikespolitiska målen om fred, säkerhet liksom ekonomisk- och hållbar utveckling. Kvinnlig egenmakt utgör därmed kärnan i det feministiska utrikespolitiska arbetet. Syftet med

Expansions of innovation policies have been paralleled with an increase in the evaluations of such policies. Yet, there are few systematic evaluations of how such evaluations are conducted, by whom, and their overall conclusions. We analyze 110 evaluations of innovation policy in Sweden from 2005 to 2019. Our findings show that the majority of these evaluations are positive, about one-third are neExpansions of innovation policies have been paralleled with an increasein the evaluations of such policies.

Missions are being discussed widely within the European Union and beyond as a tool to steer policy, innovation, and research. Similar to other missions – to the moon, to cure cancer, and to eradicate smallpox – the missions-oriented approach seeks to set bold and radical goals to tackle our pressing environmental and social challenges. In this episode, we discuss the missions-oriented approach for
Climate change has the potential to alter hydrological regimes and to expand saturated areas in permafrost environments, which are important sources of organic carbon. The sources, transfer zones, and delivery mechanisms of carbon into the stream network are controlled by the morphometric properties of the catchment; however, the utility and limitations of these properties as predictors of dissolv
Drainage networks delineated from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), are the basis for the modelling of geomorphological and hydrological processes, biogeochemical cycling, and water resources management. Besides providing effective models of water flows, automatically extracted drainage networks based on topography can diverge from reality to varying degrees. The variability of such disagreement wi
Climate change projections show that temperature and precipitation increases can alter the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and high latitude landscapes, including their freshwaters. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an important role in greenhouse gas emissions, but the impact of catchment productivity on DOC release to subarctic waters remains poorly known, especially at re
