Citizen science is a powerful tool for connecting members of the public with research and for obtaining large amounts of data. However, it is far less commonly implemented in developing countries than in developed countries. We conducted a large-scale citizen-science program monitoring honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses in Argentina to examine how a national consortium composed of local coor
During the period from 2011 to 2013, a group from Mossornas Vänner made a field survey of bryophyte flora of Stora alvaret situated on island Öland in the Baltic Sea. The result of the survey was published in Journal of Bryology 2018 (see the reference at the end of the article). We analysed the occurrence of bryophyte species and variation in species richness across 674 plats (0.5 m x 0.5 m) in a
Waste is a valuable commodity and remains a livelihood source for waste pickers in the global South. Waste to Energy (WtoE) is often described as alternative to landfilling, as it provides cheap fuel while making waste disappear. In some European cities, this method has evolved into an impediment, slowing down the adoption of more sustainable technologies and waste prevention. These plants typical
Willow (Salix spp.) trees are commonly used in short rotation coppices (SRC) to produce renewable energy. However, these plants are also known to emit high concentrations of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which have a large influence on air quality. Many different clones of commercially used Salix varieties exist today, but only a few studies have focused on BVOC emissions from these
Accessibility plays an essential role in determining real estate prices and land use. An understanding of how accessibility and changes in accessibility influence real estate prices is key to making decisions regarding investments in infrastructure projects. From an accessibility point of view, it is not clear that there should be differences in valuation depending on the mode of public transport,
Terrestrial ecosystem gross primary productivity (GPP) is the largest land-atmosphere carbon flux and the primary mechanism of photosynthetic fixation of atmospheric CO2 into plant biomass. Anomalous rainfall events have been shown to have a great impact on the global carbon cycle. However, less is known about the impact of these events on GPP, especially in Africa, where in situ observations are
Swedish emergency services still have relatively limited resources and time for proactive fire prevention. Because of this, there is an extensive need for strategic working methods and knowledge to take advantage of spatial analyses. In addition, decision-making based on visualizations and analyses of their own collected data has the potential to increase the validity of strategic decisions. The o
Syftet med studien var att generera en teori som har möjlighet att bygga broar mellan etablerade teorier inom motivations- och gruppsykologiforskning genom att undersöka ”Hur ser mönstret ut mellan sammanhållning, motivation och autonomi i människovårdande yrken? ” samt ”Hur påverkas detta mönster mellan sammanhållning, motivation och autonomi av hur lång tid som spenderats i arbetsgruppen?” GrundThe aim of this study was to generate a theory that has the opportunity to build bridges between established theories within the research on motivational and group psychology by exploring ”What is the pattern between cohesion, motivation and autonomy in caring professions?" and “How is the pattern effected between cohesion, motivation and autonomy by how much time spent in the team?” Grounded
This master thesis was a project in cooperation with Höganäs AB. The aim was to increase the apparent density (AD) of two biomass chars, by three different agglomeration methods. The reason for the investigation is that biomass char could be used as a reducing agent in the sponge iron process at Höganäs AB. The goal was to exchange anthracite in the reduction mixture to agglomerated biomass char.
Galagos are an understudied family of primates which inhabit much of Sub-Saharan Africa, some of which are potentially at risk. The coastal forests of East Africa are home to many galagos, however this habitat is under threat from an increasing human population seeking timber, charcoal and land for agriculture, amongst other pressures. This study used repeated transect methods when estimating the
Energi och klimatpåverkan är ständigt aktuellt i dagens samhälle. För att motverka den globala uppvärmningen har EU tagit fram klimatmål där bland annat energianvändningen ska minska med 20 % mot 1990 års nivåer år 2020. En stor andel av energianvändningen orsakas i Sverige idag av bygg- och fastighetsbranschen där byggnadsbeståndet står för ca 30 % av energianvändningen. För att klara EU:s klimEnergy use and climate impact are important topics in today’s society. To combat global warming, the EU has set a goal framework with a 20 % reduction target until 2020 for domestic energy use compared to 1990. Today, the building sector in Sweden accounts for 30 % of the domestic energy use. To achieve the goals for energy and climate set by the EU, changes are required. The Swedish parliament ha
Despite the recent upsurge of interest in emotional non-speech sounds, very little naturalistic material is available. In this project a corpus of non-acted emotional vocalizations from Youtube videos is introduced, analyzed acoustically and tested experimentally. A rating experiment combined with acoustic analysis in Study 1 confirms that these sounds can be correctly classified by both human rat

Supervisor: Jan Magnusson The purpose of this study is to find out how self-determination is defined in LVM-law and how it is interpreted by the care providers in LVM-health and rehabilitation clinic. The used method is qualitative met
Uppsatsens syfte är att åskådliggöra den preventionistiska strömningen inom straffrätten och de uttryck den tar sig för att bekämpa terrorism. Framställningen står på två ben, förfältsgärningar och preventiva tvångsmedel, och de båda delarna redogörs inledningsvis var för sig. Först presenteras de osjälvständiga brottsformerna i allmänhet och sedan redogörs för de specifika gärningar som återfinnsThis thesis is mainly concerned with the inchoate offences and the preventive coercive measures in the Swedish criminal law, with a specific focus on the antiterrorism-legislation. My aim is to visualize the broad deterrentist trend, which in this thesis is called “preventionism”. To do so, the dependent forms of crime in general are presented in the first part, together with the specific inchoate
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka kravet på angelägna allmänna intressen i RF 2 kap. 15 § 1 st. och hur det förhåller sig till expropriationslagens och fastighetsbilningslagens bestämmelser om ingrepp i egendom. För att uppnå syftet används rättsdogmatisk metod. Kravet på angelägna allmänna intressen ska vara uppfyllt för det varje gång myndighetsbeslut eller lagstiftning genomför expropriatioThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the requirement for compelling public interests in chapter 2 paragraph 15 of the Swedish constitution and its relation to the provisions on property interference in the Expropriation Act as well as the Property Formation Act. To achieve the purpose, a legal dogmatic method is applied. The requirement for compelling public interests must be fulfilled wheneve
Lampetra planeri or Brook Lamprey is an aquatic fish-like species, characterized by its lack of jaws and long eel-like morphology. The species is usually found in small streams with gravel or sandy riverbeds and has seen a strong population decline during the last few decades. The primary goal of this thesis was to investigate if combined sewer overflows prevent the further spread of the Lampetra

Lagförslaget innebär en grundlagsändring av 2 kap. 7 § Regerings formen som stadgar en absolut rätt att som svensk medborgare inte landsför visas samt att inte fråntasThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the objectives and aims of the Com mittee in its legislative proposal presented in the Report SOU 2025:2 Some Issues Concerning Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, as well as the potential consequences that may accure from the proposal. The proposal entails a con stitutional amendment to Chapter 2, Paragraph 7 of the Instrument of Gov ernment, which establis
Evacuation models can be reliably used if they are sufficiently validated for the application in question (e.g. Fire Safety Engineering). To be useful, an evacuation model should therefore be an accurate enough representation of the real-world behaviour of evacuees. The scope of this work was to determine how accurately the model crowd:it (making use of the Optimal Steps Model) provides a represen
To escape competition for food, South African dung beetles roll balls away from the dung pile of origin along straight-line paths. To keep their desired courses, the beetles rely on flexible integration of external orientation cues. This supports robust orientation even under challenging daytime conditions. Here, I studied the orientation precision driven by this flexible cue integration in the du
The construction and demolition industry are annually responsible for 40% of the total amount of waste generated in Sweden. The problem facing the industry is that a very large portion of the waste is disposed of in landfills, and only a very small portion is recycled and reused. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the construction industry can become more circular and sustainable over
