The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the development of the agriculture in the county of Skåne (Scania) and to see if there are explanations to be found why the agricultural land is exploited today. By theories from human ecology I discuss the interconnections between human, nature and society both in a historical and a present perspective. Focus is on how the landscape, humans an
Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva varför företag synliggör sitt hållbarhetsarbete för sina kunder och konsumenter. Hållbarhet är ett komplext begrepp utan någon allmän erkänd definition och därför vill vi lyfta fram hur begreppet kan definieras i olika företag och om detta har någon betydelse för vad företag väljer att synliggöra. Genom vår kvalitativa ansats med textbaserade dokument och sThe purpose of this paper is to describe why companies reveal their sustainability performance for their customers and consumers. Sustainability is a complex concept without any public recognized definition, and therefore we want to highlight how the concept can be defined in different companies and if this has any bearing on what companies choose to make visible. Through our qualitative approach
Population decline in rural areas is observed in almost every European country. In Croatia, there are no meaningful strategies to mitigate the consequences of depopulation. As a result, many rural communities have already disappeared, while more are becoming unsustainable. Krapina-Zagorje is a region severely impacted by the shrinking and aging of its population. This thesis approaches depopulatio
Soil temperature fluctuations are typical at high latitudes in early spring or late autumn. Freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) occur when the soil temperature fluctuates around 0°C, causing a change in the state of the soil solution. Due to climate change, FTCs are predicted to become more frequent and intense, especially in the Arctic, Antarctic, and cold temperate regions. In this study, two experiments

Audio Description (AD) is developing fast, becoming the norm for big streaming platforms. However, the research field remains largely underexplored. When comparing AD practices between countries, studies seem to focus on guidelines rather than how these are used, or not, by audio describers. Additionally, not enough emphasis is placed on cross-varietal differences of English AD, and in cases when
Employee engagement and employer branding are highly relevant in today's labor market, where employers no longer hold all the cards, but the employees assert their demands as well. Furthermore, there is a scarcity in research exploring the interaction between employee engagement and employer branding. This study investigates through a case study how employee engagement and employer branding in
Denna uppsats utreder vad samhällskontraktet är enligt Thomas Hobbes och John Lockes olika teorier. Den undersöker också möjligheten att lämna samhällskontraktet och om det idag finns exempel på grupper som försöker lämna det. Samhällskontraktsteorin är en rättsfilosofisk teori som försöker besvara frågan varför människor underkastar sig någon annan när de från början är fria människor. Hobbes ochThis essay examines what the social contract is according to Thomas Hobbes and John Locke’s different theories. It also examines the possibility of leaving the social contract and if there groups that are trying to leave the contract currently exist. The social contract theory is a legal philosophical theory that tries to answer the question of why humans submit to another when they originally are
Det pågår en rättspolitisk debatt i Sverige om vad som kan förändras för att öka tryggheten i samhället. Ett av de aktuella förslagen innebär att införa en ny tidsobestämd påföljd kallad säkerhetsstraffet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att sätta detta nya förslag i sin historiska kontext, genom att granska en tidigare lik-nande påföljd kallad interneringsstraffet. Frågor som avses att besvaras är huruviThere is an ongoing legal policy debate in Sweden concerning how public safety can be improved. One of the current proposals is to introduce a new indefinite custodial sentence called säkerhetsstraffet. The purpose of this paper is to put the new proposal in a historical perspective, by examining an earlier similar penalty called interneringsstraffet. The questions to be answered are whether the u

Omvandling av energi har spelat en stor roll i samhällets utveckling: från eldens upptäckt via vatten- och väderkvarnar till kol och olja under industriella revolutionen. Gemensamt för alla dessa energiformer är att de antingen går att lagra, som i bränslenas fall, eller att variationer i vatten- eller väderförhållanden inte har någon stor påverkan på resultatet. I elnätet, däremot, måste det rådaThe subject of energy storage is of increasingly more research interest with a larger share of unpredictable and cheap renewable energy entering the grid. Behind only batteries and pumped hydro in technological maturity, compressed air energy storage stands as a possibility in balancing the grid of the future, with its main benefits being highly efficient utilisation of fuel energy and high flexib
In the present study, we aim at relating Forbes' remarkable paper on "The lake as a microcosm", published 125 years ago, to the present status of knowledge in our own research group. Hence, we relate the observations Forbes made to our own microcosm, Lake Krankesjon in southern Sweden, that has been intensively studied by several research groups for more than three decades. Specifically, we focus
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) have a pathogenic role in ANCA-associated vasculitis. The origin of ANCAs and anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies, however, is unknown. In this study, we determined whether natural autoantibodies against myeloperoxidase (MPO), proteinase 3 (PR3), and GBM were present in each of 10 healthy Chinese and Swedish individuals, negative for al
Heparan sulfate (HS), a substance common in the extracellular matrix on epithelial cells is present in the pancreas, lining the duct lumen. During pathological conditions, we propose that it can be shed from the ECM and bind to receptors on the cell surface, thus triggering an inflammatory response, which if excessive can cause acute pancreatitis (AP). Infusion of HS in the pancreatic duct in rats
Aim To investigate how the chemical composition of native organic matter of two contrasting soils varies with inputs of biochar and fresh material (including plant roots) and how these underlying changes influence microbial community structure. Methods Corn stover (CS) and CS-derived biochars produced at 350 °C and 550 °C were applied at a dose of 7.2 t C ha−1 to two contrasting soils—an Alfis
The integrated model WORLD and Hubbert's model were used for assessment of future supply for different metals: iron, nickel, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, rhenium, zir- conium, tungsten, cobalt, copper, zinc, lead, aluminium and the technology metals derived from copper ezinc mining (tellurium, selenium, gallium, indium, antimony, bismuth, tin, germanium, selenium). The conne
Objectives: IgA vasculitis (IgAV) in adults has been relatively under-investigated. Since outcomes are worse in other forms of vasculitis with increasing age, we investigated the outcomes of IgAV comparing younger adults (18-34), middle-aged adults (35-64) and elderly patients (≥64 years) focusing on kidney outcomes. Methods: We identified patients with renal biopsy-confirmed IgAV nephritis and co
Context. Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge. The abundances of the iron-peak elements are important tracers of nucleosynthesis processes, in particular oxygen burning, silicon burning, the weak s-process, and α-rich freeze-out. Aims. The aim of this work i
The chemical forms of zinc in fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) crucially affect ash management, influencing both material recovery options and the risk of unwanted leaching into ecosystems. The zinc speciation was investigated in fly ash samples sourced from full-scale MSWI plants, including four grate fired boilers (GB) and one fluidized bed boiler (FB). We applied X-ray Abs
