Groundwater quality and quantity are two major challenges in arid and semi-arid regions, due to their critical roles in sustainable agricultural development. Irrigated lands are spread all over Urmia Lake's surrounding plains in Iran. Due to the risk of saltwater intrusion as a result of over-exploitation from groundwater resources, it is important to monitor the groundwater quality and quantity t
The aim of this thesis was to reconstruct the glaciodynamics, deglacial landforms, isostatic uplift and to date the deglaciation. Glaciodynamics and deglacial landforms were focused on to provide a process and depositional model for De Geer moraine and Niemisel moraine and to reveal their internal and spatial relationship, based on detailed sedimentological and structural investigations. The isost
Att diagnostisera en hörselnedsättning och inleda habilitering så tidigt som möjligt på små barn har visat sig vara av stor betydelse. Genom åren har flera olika diagnostiska metoder utvecklats får att kunna utföra hörselmätningar på små barn. I Linköping utarbetades 1996 ett datorstött mätsystem för barnaudiometri. Systemet är en variant av tittlådeaudiometri, Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA
Med anledning av EU:s direktiv mot skatteundandraganden ligger det på den svenska lagstiftaren att före slutet av år 2018 införa vissa ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som motverkar aggressiv skatteplanering. Med anledning av detta, samt på grund av att lagstiftaren anser att det föreligger en snedvridning mellan finansiering med eget och lånat kapital, där lånefinansiering på grund av ränteavdragsmDue to the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, it is the Swedish legislator’s responsibility to introduce certain interest limitation rules to counter aggressive tax planning before the end of 2018. Due to this, and because the legislator considers that there is a distortion between own and borrowed capital, where loan funding is subsidized due to interest-rate deductions, the Swedish Ministry of Fin
This paper compares two flow routing algorithms' influences on ecohydrological estimations in a northern peatland catchment, within the framework of an arctic-enabled version of the dynamic ecosystem model LPJ-GUESS. Accurate hydrological estimations are needed to fully capture vegetation dynamics and carbon fluxes in the subarctic peatland enviroment. A previously proposed distributed hydrologica
Background: Individuals with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, are characterized by specific medical, cognitive, and behavioral phenotypes and often have high anxiety levels as well as phobia. Studies of the psychiatric phenotype in adults affected by Williams syndrome or literature on the management of their mental pathologies are lacking. Method: In this article, we report the neuropsy
A study about differences between swedes an non swedes and how a non swede can claim a place in Sweden and feel safe.
Denna studie tar avstamp i den tudelade akademiska debatten kring vilka potentialer och fallgropar det finns för tillfällig användning av stadens mellanrum, och har syftat till att undersöka hur Institut for (x) har lyckats upprätthålla sin tillfälliga användning av Godsbanearealerne i Aarhus över en längre tidsperiod. Genom intervjuer med representanter för Institut for (x) och Aarhus kommun, harAgainst the backdrop of a divided academic debate on the potentials and pitfalls for temporary use of urban space, this essay aims to explore how Institut for (x) as a temporary use project has been able to maintain their use of Godsbanearealerne in Aarhus over a longer period of time. This has been done through interviews with representatives of Institut for (x) and Aarhus municipality, where the
Although shared e-scooters have displayed both complementary and competitive relationships with public transport, less attention has been paid to investigating the spatiotemporal variations of such relationships, and how the relationships are associated with the urban built environment. To bridge the gaps, we first explore the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of such relationships by conducting a comp
The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), a leading facility in synchrotron science, plays a crucial role in supporting both the local and the international scientific community by providing advanced instrumentation for their research. However, our understanding of the actual reach of the facility and its spatial dynamics remains limited. Thus, a methodology is proposed where author affi
Both in the social and natural sciences, methodologies have been developed to deal with relatively stable conditions, where findings can be validated based on past experiences. At a time when both social and natural phenomena are rapidly changing, new approaches are urgently needed to produce knowledge for systemic change, inform high-stakes decisions, and enable sustainability transitions in the
E-scooter sharing is a potential feeder to complement public transit for alleviating the first-and-last-mile problem. This study investigates the integration between shared e-scooters and public transit by conducting a comparative analysis in 124 European cities based on vehicle availability data. Results suggest that the integration ratios of e-scooter sharing in different cities show significant
A key challenge in developing sustainable cities is establishing circular infrastructure systems. Decentralised urban water management solutions (DUWMS) are a case in point: Innovative DUWMS that allow recycling the water, heat, energy, or nutrients contained in wastewater locally are currently emerging in cities around the world. These systems could significantly enhance cities’ water resilience
Tundra soils account for 50% of global stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), and it is expected that the amplified climate warming in high latitude could cause loss of this SOC through decomposition. Decomposed SOC could become hydrologically accessible, which increase downstream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export and subsequent carbon release to the atmosphere, constituting a positive feedback
When it comes to religion, lack of conclusive evidence leads many reflective thinkers to embrace agnosticism. However, pure agnosticism does not necessarily have to be the final word; there are other attitudes one might reasonably adopt in a situation of epistemic uncertainty. This article concentrates on J. L. Schellenberg's proposal that non-doxastic propositional faith is available even when be
