Pollen-based quantitative vegetation reconstructions using multiple sedimentary basins from the same area, along with their quantified relevant pollen source areas, are a powerful means to study how long-term human impact has affected vegetation and shaped the currently protected heritage landscapes at different spatial scales. Our study presents the outcome of a palynological investigation in Kar
Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics
Land use contributes to environmental change, but is also influenced by such changes. Climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels’ changes alter agricultural crop productivity, plant water requirements and irrigation water availability. The global food system needs to respond and adapt to these changes, for example, by altering agricultural practices, including the crop types or intensity
Importance Longitudinal data are crucial for understanding rapid population aging in East and Southeast Asia, yet challenges in establishing and managing infrastructures remain undocumented.Objective To investigate challenges and adaptations across longitudinal aging datasets in East and Southeast Asia and synthesize stakeholder-informed processes and recommendations to guide future study design
Vegetation is known to have different effects in shallow water environments, including changes in hydrodynamics. This often creates the need to include vegetation in large scale hydrodynamic models, which nowadays can already be achieved using some software packages available in the market. This work, however, had the purpose to test simple methods to simulate vegetation in hydrodynamic models wit
Mental wellness environments a thesis on how a village-like district within a city context supports mental wellbeing. The awareness of mental health and wellbeing has lately increased, revealing rising levels of stress and anxiety. In addition, after the COVID‑19 pandemic people became more reliant on social media and remote work, which changed how we interact with local communities and exposed m
Context. According to the well-established hierarchical framework for galaxy evolution, galaxies grow through mergers with other galaxies. The ΛCDM cosmological model predicts that the stellar halos of massive galaxies are rich in remnants resulting from minor mergers. Stellar Streams Legacy Survey (SSLS) has provided a first release of a catalogue with a statistically significant sample of stella
This paper develops a semi-analytic technique for generating smooth nonuniform grids for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems. It is based on the usual idea of mapping a uniform grid to the desired nonuniform grid. We introduce the W-grid, which depends on the perturbation parameter epsilon << 1. For problems on [0, 1] with a boundary layer at one end po
A short sediment core from a local depression forming an intra basin on the Lomonosov Ridge, was retrieved during the Healy-Oden Trans-Arctic Expedition 2005 (HOTRAX). It contains a record of the Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 1-3 showing exceptionally high abundances of calcareous microfossils during parts of MIS 3. Based on radiocarbon dating, linear sedimentation rates of 7-9 cm/ka persist during
Coastal hypoxia is increasing in the global coastal zone, where it is recognized as a major threat to biota. Managerial efforts to prevent hypoxia and achieve recovery of ecosystems already affected by hypoxia are largely based on nutrient reduction plans. However, these managerial efforts need to be informed by predictions on the thresholds of hypoxia (i.e. the oxygen levels required to conserve
We employ Non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to describe the real-time dynamics of an adsorbate-surface model system exposed to ultrafast laser pulses. For a finite number of electronic orbitals, the system is solved exactly and within different levels of approximation. Specifically i) the full exact quantum mechanical solution for electron and nuclear degrees of freedom is used to benchmark
I Slättemossa, Hultsfreds kommun, Kalmar län, förekommer två hällar som båda är mindre än 20m2. De består av en så kallad klotbergart (orbicular rock). Bergarten är klassad som monzodiorit till diorit och består av klot, som ligger tätt i ett matrix. Kloten är uppbyggda av en medelkornig kärna omgiven av tre finkorniga skal; ett inre mörkt, ett mellanliggande ljust och ett yttre mörkt skal. MatrixAt Slättemossa, Hultsfreds kommun, Kalmar län, Sweden, two outcrops of orbicular rock occur. Both are smaller than 20 m2. The rock is classified as a monzodiorite to diorite; it contains closely spread orbicules in a matrix. The orbicules are made up of a medium-grained core surrounded by three fine-grained shells: an inner dark shell, a light shell and an outer dark shell. The matrix is medium-gr
This study investigates a group of globalized foreign-born people among the new residents in Malmö who came to Sweden mainly in 2005. The life situation of this group of immigrants is not as well studied as the integration problems of refugees. Since the social and labor migration is increasing in Europe and in the whole world it is worth to study the lives of the globalized people in different as
This essay is about the indigenous people Urak Lawoi in Andaman Sea, outside the west coast of Thailand. The study shows what happens to them when they are being deprived of their territory and are being forced to abandon their culture, lifestyle and traditional economic subsistence. Urak Lawoi have until recently maintained culture, language and lifestyle apart from the rest of Thai society. Dur
The rich cultural heritage of China is becoming less relevant and forgotten as a result of rapid urbanization and modern lifestyles. This project aims to preserve the Chinese music heritage by designing an instrument based on the Chinese zither guzheng. Despite the rising interest of traditional instruments, there are factors that are holding people back from practicing them. There have been atte
The latticework duct plays an important role in turbine blade cooling for aircraft engines. The present numerical research provided information about the thermal performance in latticework ducts with different endwall shapes. Each latticework duct analyzed in this study had a crossing angle of 90° and 11 sub channels on both the two sides of the endwall. A numerical investigation was conducted at
Urgent water and food security challenges, particularly in continental and boreal regions, need to be addressed by initiatives such as the Horizon 2020‐funded project WATer retention and nutrient recycling in soils and streams for improved AGRIcultural production (WATERAGRI). A new methodological framework for the sustainable management of various solutions resilient to climate change has been dev
Expectations on collaboration between public authorities and civil society organizations (CSOs) have increased in Sweden the past decades, partly due to changes in the organization of welfare services. This article investigates a collaborative project within the migrant integration policy area. It is a collaboration between the employment offices in a region of Sweden and local CSOs with the commo
