Climate change poses a threat to cities. Geospatial information and communication technology (Geo-ICT) assisted planning is increasingly being utilised to foster urban sustainability and adaptability to climate change. To fill the theoretical and practical gaps of urban adaptive planning and Geo-ICT implementation, this article presents an urban ecosystem vulnerability assessment approach using in
Low-dimensional topological states have transformed our understanding of charge transportation through quantum materials. Many relevant observations have been connected to bismuth (Bi) containing materials or ultrathin Bi films. Here, we studied sub-monolayer amounts of Bi deposition on the In-terminated InSb(111)A surface using various complementary surface science techniques. Bi deposition at el
Recent land-use changes have led to a significant loss of natural wetlands worldwide resulting in increased amounts of organic and inorganic compounds reaching lakes and coastal areas. In turn, this has led to an increased algal growth, and subsequently the risk of algal blooms and deteriorated water quality. The capacity of wetlands to retain nutrients is well-known, suggesting that constructed w
The structure and thermoacoustic instability (TI) of premixed CH4/H2/air swirling flames were experimentally investigated for a range of hydrogen fraction (ηH2) up to 80% under different equivalence ratio (Φ) and swirl number (S) conditions. It is shown that the onset of TI is enhanced when increasing either ηH2, S, or Φ. The dominant frequency of TI increases dramatically with ηH2. The higher dom
The way in which the large-scale cosmic environment affects galactic properties is not yet understood. Dark matter haloes, which embed galaxies, initially evolve following linear theory. Their subsequent evolution is driven by non-linear structure formation in the halo region and in its outer environment. In this work, we present the first study where we explicitly control the linear part of the e
Oligometastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the anus (omSCCA) is a very rare condition. The literature is sparse, and treatment guidelines are lacking. The aim of the present work was to carry out a literature review and to propose an algorithm for intensified treatment of patients with omSCCA. A PubMed search was carried out, which resulted in 15 relevant publications that included any type of def
Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma
This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how
This thesis examines the frontier defensive system found in the vicinity of the Roman auxiliary fort near modern-day Bologa, Cluj County, Romania. The goal is to study the visual relationship between the more certain watchtowers and the other military installations (the auxiliary fort and other fortlets) to understand how arrangements and visibility might have contributed to the functioning of the
In this thesis, I investigate the relation between assessed speaking proficiency and measured complexity and accuracy in twenty test-takers’ performance in the oral part of the Swedish certificate test Swedex B2. Accuracy and complexity have been measured in seven different ways; both global and local measures from the CAF (Complexity–Accuracy–Fluency) triad have been used. Also, each test-taker’s
This thesis investigates how manufacturing of asphalt containing recycled materials can be conducted when the purpose is to use the recycled material in another road construction. The study show that manufacturing of asphalt containing recycled materials then can be conducted in three ways, through hot, less hot and cold manufacturing processes. The possible use of the final products is dependent
This qualitative case study aims to explore how the unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the capacity and operation of Swedish development organizations within the civil society and to what extent current results-based frameworks (RBF’s) and systems have been suitable to adhere to these changes and challenges. Eight semi-structured interviews with CSO representatives have b
In a recent paper, Hur and Wheeler proved the existence of periodic steady water waves over an infinitely deep, two-dimensional and constant vorticity flow and subject to gravity whose profile overhangs, among which, waves whose surface touches at a point, enclosing a bubble of air. We take this further, proving the existence of a continuous curve of water waves from a laminar flow up to a touchin
This text serves as a fresh approach to the study of Roman influence on the Scandinavian region. This is achieved through the medium of various bronze statuettes, both from the Roman Empire itself as well as in the form of locally-produced anthropomorphic figures. The study concentrates on four specific regions of Europe; Italy, southern Britain, Denmark, and southern Sweden. All of these areas ma
Purpose: This study aims to explore the phenomenon of social influence in driving environmentally friendly tourist behaviors. Methodology: To obtain deep and diverse insights about the phenomenon, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with respondents representing 13 nationalities. Results: This study revealed that contemporary tourists obtain two conflicting messages from their social en
In the face of the climate crisis, there is an increasing engagement with climate adaptation and mitigation across traditional development sectors. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is one such area. From an intersectional feminist perspective engaging questions of gender, race, disability and sexuality, this research examines international SRHR advocacy materials. The aim is to unc
Exploitation of agricultural land is today a debated issue. It takes many years for agricultural land to develop and the land is important to preserve for food production. However, land in general is also needed for the development of new housing and new businesses. Today agriculture land is protected by Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code. This section protects agricultural lan
Agricultural intensification is seen as a major threat to global biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands play an important role in maintaining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Biodiversity and community structure in semi-natural grasslands depends not only on local management but also on the surrounding land-use. Further knowledge on landscape-scale effects would help improving the managemen
Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum
Jordarternas utbredning över sydvästra Skåne är ett resultat av Weichselistidens komplexa växelverkande isframstötar, där stora mäktiga kvartära avlagringar finns i anknytning till Alnarpssänkan och Lundadalen. Avlagringarna och deras glaciala ursprung är ett historiskt omdiskuterat ämne. Regionens ytliga jordlager är relativt väldokumenterade men stora frågetecken kvarstår angående avlagringarna The distribution of different Quaternary deposits in southwestern Scania is a result of complex glaciation and deglaciation patterns during the Weichselian, with especially thick deposits in the Alnarp Trough and the Lund Valley. The deposits and their glacial origin have been extensively discussed in the literature. The region’s surficial deposits are relatively well documented, but uncertainties
