The ice cover presence on the surface of a lake insulates the water body from the atmosphere. This prevents or reduces the influence of processes which depend on the exchange between the atmosphere and the water surface. This implies significant reduction or elimination of some processes taking place at the open water surface; for instance, a substantial reduction in solar energy penetrating to th

In this paper, we explore how the notion of participation informs policy documents in a public library context. Today, library users to a large extent are expected to manage on their own and society calls for self-governing, active subjects who are willing to participate. To explore the notion of participation we utilize the concept of problematization and conduct a text analysis of policy documenThis article explores how the notion of participation informs policy documents in a public library context. Library users are expected to manage on their own, to a large extent, as society calls for self-governing, active subjects who are willing to participate. To explore this notion of participation, we utilize the concept of problematization and analyze policy documents regarding the public lib

By looking closely at how people monitor adherence to the accessibility standards of laws and human rights, it is possible to recognise and understand their concrete fight against exclusion and discrimination. The author uses ethnographic data from go-alongs with two ‘accessibility detectives

One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are actions that help communities address social-ecological challenges such as flooding and polluted groundwater. Nevertheless, research shows that in practice, NBS confront several barriers in planning and implementation, many of which are related to the different attitudes of political and administrative actors. There is knowledge missing on their viewpoints on NBS.

PURPOSE: To investigate Swedish immigrants to the United States debarred for medical reasons, with particular focus on trachoma. METHOD: Annual official reports of debarred immigrants have been compiled to compare reasons for debarment among Scandinavian immigrants vs. immigrants from all countries. Individual cases of trachoma among Swedish immigrants have been searched for in contemporary newspa

Aims: Ventricular longitudinal function measured as basal-apical atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) or global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a potent predictor of mortality and could potentially be a predictor of heart failure-associated morbidity. We hypothesized that low AVPD and GLS are associated with the combined endpoint of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure-associated morbidit

The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material. There is an urgent need to find solutions for shifting the raw material base to renewable res

På senare tid har ett antal svenska företag inlett företagsrekonstruktion enligt det amerikanska rekonstruktionsförfarandet Chapter 11. Chapter 11 beskrivs som världsledande och har fungerat som förebild vid utformningen av i insolvenslagstiftning i flera jurisdiktioner. Chapter 11 betraktas generellt som mer gäldenärsvänligt än motsvarande förfaranden i andra jurisdiktioner. Det faktum att svenskRecently, several Swedish companies have initiated corporate reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 11 is widely recognized as a leading framework for corporate restructing and has served as a model for insolvency legislation in numerous jurisdictions. It is generally regarded as more debtor-friendly than comparable procedures in other legal systems. The fact that Swe

This study aims to examine the online afterlife of the slasher film Sleepaway Camp (1983, Robert Hiltzik) and how this afterlife relates to the queer elements in the film and its role as a cult film. By combining analytical perspectives and tools deriving from film studies and media studies, through applying film analysis as a method and using a netnographic approach, the fields complement each ot

Can climate signals help investors make sharper moves in volatile commodity markets? This study explores how weather-related risk, specifically the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), can be used to improve portfolio performance. We incorporate the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) into a Random Forest forecasting model to capture the complex, non-linear effects of climate anomalies on commodity returns -

On April 16th, 2026, the new legislative Government bill 2025/25:246 regarding stricter rules for young offenders was presented. The bill proposes a partial lowering of the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for severe crimes, and the introduction of youth imprisonment for the 13–14 age group. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the arguments behind the proposal and compare them with prev

At the bakery of Lantmannens Farskbrod in Lund there is a storage for approximately 20 000 plastic bakery trays. The aim of this project is to evaluate how a possible fire in these plastic bakery trays would develop, and from this knowledge suggest measures to improve the fire safety. This has been done through several experimental works, calculations and simulations. In the experimental works, di
