Water scarcity poses a major obstacle to sustainable development, and precise discharge prediction plays a vital role in enabling effective water resource management. This study investigated improved prediction techniques for nonstationary time series. The study evaluated the effect of signal processing techniques and blending approaches on the performance of deep learning models for daily dischar

Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for

This study investigates whether municipal corruption has influenced the impact of the Brazilian conditional cash transfer program Bolsa Família by comparing the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2000 and 2010. The decentralized implementation of Bolsa Família is modeled as a principal-agent problem between the federal government and local municipalities, where the federal government has utilized va

Marine mammals and coastal fisheries are two features commonly associated with thriving marine environments, but it is also a case of wildlife impact on human interests. This paper analyses the seal-fisheries encounter in a Swedish Baltic Sea fishery. The problem concerns seals eating fish from the fishing gear which causes considerable economic losses to small-scale fishermen. This mixed-method s

Latin America attends currently to the construction of a paradigm of rural development based on the potentiality of the territory to encourage processes of rural wellbeing. Some international studies relating rural development to territory from an institutional perspective have recently come out, greatly contributing to the construction of a territorially based rural development in the region. The

In the beginning of the 1990s, Sweden experienced an economic recession. The unemployment rate increased significantly and the proportion of young adults receiving social assistance rose dra-matically. In response, municipalities initiated local intervention programs aimed at reducing the number of young social assistance recipients. In 2005, this population had decreased. However, the organizatio

Eyes of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax are sexually dimorphic such that males have a fronto-dorsal region of large facets. In contrast to other large flies in which large facets are associated with a decreased interommatidial angle to form a dorsal 'acute zone' of increased spatial resolution, we show that a dorsal region of large facets in males appears to form a 'bright zone' of increased light ca

The first experimental and theoretical evidence of the surface-catalyzed reaction of p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) produced from para-aminothiophenol (PATP) by local surface plasmons was reported in 2010, and since that time a series of investigations have supported these findings using different experimental and theoretical methods. Recent work has also found that local plasmons can drive a su

Dining plays a pivotal role in the travel experience, with numerous studies identifying the significant impacts of restaurant attributes on tourists’ destination experiences and their sense of place. The identified attributes include the origin of food produce, menu design, the physical and social servicescape, and restaurant reputation, all of which have the potential to enhance customers’ sense

Due to globalization, decentralization and the capitalist system's need to physical location cities have become increasingly important economic spheres during thee last decades. City mayors are seen as increasingly important actors, who can shape the future economic development of their cities through networking with businesses and strategic policy development. Therefore several European count

This thesis asks the question “How do government-initiated local referendums affect citizens’ perceptions of democracy?”. In the theoretical discussion, direct democratic theory is found to be inadequate in studying the effects of government-initiated referendums. Since the referendums are government-initiated, that negates the important aspect of bypassing elites. The referendum democracy concept

In many cities around the world, the financial crisis 2007 served as an opportunity both for grassroots movements and governments to rethink existing models of urban development. Some authors have pointed out that the crisis served to elevate discourses for progressive post-neoliberal urban transformations. Other, more sceptical accounts have pointed at the shift towards participative, networked g

Arctic communities are currently experiencing the effects of climate change. This paper contributes to a growing body of vulnerability and adaptation research in the Arctic. This case study provides an assessment of current vulnerabilities and offers insight into how climate change is experienced in the hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.

International guidelines recommend PET-CT should replace CT in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). The aims of this study were to i) compare PET-CT with CT for staging and ii) measure agreement between expert and local readers, using a five-point scale (Deauville criteria), to adapt treatment in a clinical trial 'Response Adapted Therapy in Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma' (RATHL) www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials, refe
