The Colombian peace agreement, which has brought an end to a prolonged internal armed conflict has led to significant land use changes that underscore existing inequalities and struggles over natural resources. The expansion of industries such as cattle ranching, agriculture, and extraction is encroaching on indigenous territories and protected areas, resulting in negative consequences for communi
Design of inhalable mRNA therapeutics is promising because local administration in the respiratory tract is minimally invasive and induces a local response. However, several challenges related to administration via inhalation and respiratory tract barriers have so far prevented the progress of inhaled mRNA therapeutics. Here, we investigated factors of importance for lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-media
Clinical monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (sO2) is traditionally performed using optical techniques, such as pulse oximetry and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), which lack spatial resolution. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a rapidly developing biomedical imaging technique that is superior to previous techniques in that it combines optical excitation and acoustic detection, providing a
Rapid urbanization can change local climate by increasing land surface temperature (LST), particularly in metropolitan regions. This study uses two decades of remote sensing data to investigate how urbanization-induced changes in land use/land cover (LULC) affect LST in the Beijing Region, China. By focusing on the key issue of LST and its contributing variables through buffer zones, we determined
Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #11 2025-12-10 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! This newsletter will be short and sweet. We have had a couple of intensive weeks writing our self-evaluation and on top of it a lot of other things has happen within and outside our work with the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. A new thing is that Sara and I have moved down to Sölvegatan 12 as the Centre for Environm
While vital to Indonesia’s economic growth, the textile industry has exacerbated textile waste generation and environmental degradation, posing urgent sustainability challenges. Rising unemployment further compounds these issues, prompting policy responses such as the Bappenas’ Circular Economy Roadmap and National Action Plan 2025–2045, which aim to drive circularity and generate employment oppor
The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan). The Prevention Plan introduces policies to enhance cooperation on a regional le
The purpose with this research is to comprehend the function of a local Victim Support Service in comparison to other local organisations, and also to receive a deeper understanding of the function role of the crime victim in the supportive work, and with this information interpret and analyse the work with crime victim on a local level. The research is based on six qualitative interviews, previou
In Sweden, the demand on the electrical grid is increasing with the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It is thereby important to optimize the charging stations for electrical vehicles connected to the grid. These charging stations can also include local energy generation and storage, which help decrease the demand on the grid, while supporting the charging of vehicles connected.
Tveksamhet mot vaccin har tidigare undersökts både globalt och inom nationer, genom såväl demografiska och socioekonomiska faktorer som politisk och ideologisk orientering hos de personer som har erbjudits vaccin. Skillnader i vaccinationstäckning har föreslagits vara geografiskt strukturerat, kopplat till Covid-19 såväl som andra vaccin, och det finns flera exempel på sådan forskning där rumsligaGlobal as well as national vaccine hesitancy have previously been investigated using demographic and socioeconomic factors, as well as political or ideological orientations of the persons offered vaccinations. Variation in vaccine uptakes has been suggested to be geographically structured, in both Covid-19 and other vaccine contexts, and there are several examples of such research applying spatial
This article poses the question of how storytelling takes place in free guided tours. It aims to explore guides’ contributions to the glocalization of urban places. Theoretically, the study departs from the concepts of glocalization, place, and storytelling. Empirically, it builds on data from Copenhagen, Berlin, Warsaw and Tallinn, collected by means of participant observations and document studi
The spatial distribution of buildings is one of the key factors influencing the local environment within a city. The quantitative measurement of building distribution can provide critical information for exploring local climate patterns in urban areas. Previous studies mainly focused on the two-dimensional spatial distribution of buildings and ignored the differences in height. In this study, a th
A thin resistive sheet is described by its sheet conductance, and the electric and magnetic dipole moments per unit area. All three properties can be controlled by the material parameters and geometry of the sheet, for instance by making a periodic pattern of holes in it. A mathematical analysis of the low frequency limit of Maxwell's equations in a periodic setting generates a hierarchy of local
The European Landscape Convention indicates that assessment of different dimensions that exist in landscapes should be taken into account in planning. In this study, we first investigated ecological, cultural and social values as perceived by the local people in a highway-planning process in Sweden. Next, we explored which factors influenced the local people's participation in the road-planning pr
The aim of this work is to propose a framework for providing QoS routing in MANETs. The proposed framework uses local information of nodes such as node's speed, buffer, and power to select path for routing. Deploying these information, more stable paths are selected and hence QoS routing parameter could be satisfied. Moreover, routing performance has been improved, especially in terms of end-to-en
