Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utforskar och analyserar segregation och självsortering i utbildning. Den syftar till att diskutera hur detta relateras till genus, individualisering och unga mäns och kvinnors positioneringar i lokala praktiker, genom val av gymnasieutbildning. Den fokuserar hur unga män och kvinnor hanterar och anpssar sig till det förändrade senmoderna samhället. AvThis thesis explores and analyzes segregation and self-sorting in education. It aims at discussing how this relates to gender, individualization and young men and women's positionings in local practices, through choices of upper secondary school education. It focuses on how young men and women cope with and adapt to the changing society in late modernity. The thesis is based on three empirical st

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avsikten med denna avhandling är att förstå de viktiga begreppsmässiga och operativa utmaningar som internationella biståndsgivare, liksom offentliga och privata institutioner, möter när man utformar och genomför alternativa former av sociala bostadsfinansiering som skall vara inkluderande för den fattiga urbana befolkningen. Avhandllingen försöker besvara tre frågor, bThe purpose of the thesis is to further understand key conceptual and operational challenges that international aid donors, and public and private institutions, face while designing and implementing alternative forms of social housing finance which aim to be inclusive for the urban poor. Based on an in-depth study of the work of the Foundation for the Promotion of Local Development (PRODEL) in thr

With an increasingly population and urbanization, the solid waste management have become a major challenge for local authorities in developing countries all over the world. The local authorities must improve their waste management in order to minimize the negative effects of solid waste and to avoid future land use conflicts. At the same time the economical resources are limited and solid waste ma

The study is aimed to analyze the determinants of the effectiveness of SOPs in mass gatherings for containing COVID-19. The overall design of the study involves a literature review, data collection by field survey, structural modeling, and analysis. The study is built on the experts' opinion of a focus group (representing people who recently participated in and are responsible for mass gatherings)

Current land use and climate change pose a threat to the continued provision of ecosystem services expected from terrestrial land cover. Studies on past land-cover responses to such changes provide valuable information for future decisions. The hemiboreal zone, situated between temperate and boreal biomes, is a natural sensitivity hotspot for land cover change: it contains a continuous distributio

Few studies have examined how foraging niche shift of a predator over time cascade down to local prey communities. Here we examine patterns of temporal foraging niche shifts of a generalist predator (yellow catfish, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) and the abundance of prey communities in a subtropical lake. We predicted that the nature of these interactions would have implications for patterns in diet sh

The population dynamics of organisms living in short-lived habitats will largely depend on the turnover of habitat patches. It has been suggested that epiphytes, whose host plants can be regarded as habitat patches, often form such patch-tracking populations. However, very little is known about the long-term fate of epiphyte individuals and populations. We estimated life span and assessed environm

The two major aims of this study are (1) To test the performance of the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA) to quantify past landscape changes using historical maps and related written sources, and (2) to use the LRA and map reconstructions for a better understanding of the origin of landscape diversity and the recent loss of species diversity. Southern Sweden, hemiboreal vegetation zone. The

We analyse the effects of climate anomalies on women’s fertility in West Africa. We combine socioeconomic and fertility data from 10 rounds of Burkina Faso, Guinea, Nigeria and Mali ’s Demographic and Health Surveys and long-term high resolution spatial temperature and precipitation records to assess how women and households adapt their fertility preferences and births in response to exposure to l

Formerly widely distributed throughout Europe, the great snipe (Gallinago media) – a medium-sized wader species – has experienced an important decline in the last century, mainly driven by habitat loss. Remaining population are now restricted to eastern Europe and Scandinavia and the species is considered endangered. The great snipe (Gallinago media) is a food specialist, feeding almost exclusivel

Examensarbetet syftar till att jämföra olika insamlingssystem för matavfall från flerfamiljshus. För att uppnå Sveriges miljömål finns etappmål som anger att minst 50 % av matavfallet ska källsorteras och behandlas biologiskt för att ta tillvara på energi och/eller näring till senast år 2018. Detta innebär att antalet hushåll med tillgång till separat sortering av matavfall måste öka. Det vanligaTo facilitate the fulfilment of Sweden’s environmental objectives, there are interim targets regarding e.g. food waste. For instance: at least 50 % of food waste should be source separated and biologically treated to make use of energy and/or nutrients, by 2018 the latest. To achieve this, the number of households with access to separate collection of food waste must increase. The aim of this mas

Lokalt omhändertagande av dagvatten (LOD) har blivit allt vanligare i Sverige idag för att uppehålla och rena vårt dagvatten innan det släpps ut till recipienten. Vanliga anläggningar är dammar, våtmarker och svackdiken. En anläggning som inte har fått lika stort genomslag är översilningsytan. Trots att det inte anläggs så många rena översilningsytor så är det ett koncept som används mycket, och dLocal treatment of storm water has become more and more common in Sweden today, in order to retain and treat it before it is let out to the recipient. Common constructions are wet ponds, wetlands and swales, but one type of construction that has not had its break through yet is the vegetated filter strip. Even though there are few designed vegetated filter strips constructed the concept is widely

The purpose of this essay is to discuss the growing participation of international non-governmental organisations (INGO) in peace-building operations and if their growing participation can be combined with their non-party mandate in conflict areas. The discussion is based on Jonathan Goodhand’s theory which is a critique of the minimalist and maximalist strategies. Firstly, the intention is to ana

Climate issues are currently of attention in various contexts as changing climate factors affect us in many ways. One of these effects is the influence on the probability and frequency of fires, although other factors, especially anthropogenic ones, also play a role. In the Diyarbakir region, a Kurdish-Turkish province affected by the PKK's conflict (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan - Kurdistan Work

Emissions of greenhouse gases through human activities, predominantly in sectors such as energy production, land use, lifestyle, and production, are continuing to warm the planet to unsustainable degrees. An important way to regain control of the situation is a worldwide adjustment in the way we produce energy, from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy sources. An example of such a ren

Drawing on a spatial analytical framework this research study the development of rape against women in Sweden. It aims to explore the spatio-temporal pattern of rape against women in Sweden at the regional and municipal levels. Based on these spatio-temporal traits, this research examines if socio-economic and demographic factors hypothesized by existing studies can be used to explain the prevalen
