Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Due to that, many developing world’s regions with limited economic activity adapt tourism as a development strategy. The point of departure is a critical consideration why tourism, while producing such immense economic benefits, frequently also perpetuates already existing socio-economic, cultural, and environmental dysfunctions.
The intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis is well known for its remarkable variety of locally adapted populations. A unique L. saxatilis habitat is represented by the sheltered rocky environment found in the natural coastal lagoon of the Cíes Islands (NW Spain). The present-day characteristics of this habitat are relatively recent (~ 70–150 years), some of these have been human induced. In this stu
BACKGROUND. α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) forms stable complexes with prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease, and this complex is the major form of PSA in the blood circulation. α1-antichymotrypsin occurs in the blood in approximately 105 molar excess to PSA, mainly due to hepatic production, but local prostatic production of ACT has been demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and in situ hy
Background: The Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease for Autonomic symptoms (SCOPA-AUT) is an instrument intended to assess overall and domain-specific autonomic symptom burden. In this study the SCOPA-AUT is translated into Swedish and its measurement properties are assessed. Methods: Following translation the SCOPA-AUT was field-tested regarding comprehensibility, relevance, and respondent
Understanding wildlife stakeholders is vital in mitigating the risk for inertia in the implementation of management and illegal activities, e.g., poaching. We used a unique set of questionnaire data of stakeholders in Sweden (n = 8728) comprising birdwatchers, hunters, farmers, and the general public, to analyze evaluations of geese, beliefs about goose management at multiple levels, and acceptanc
We investigated the role of phosphorus (P) impurities on the fracture toughness and underlying failure mechanisms by means of classical atomistic modeling for a set of ⟨110⟩ symmetric tilt tungsten grain boundaries (GBs). This entailed the utilization of a quasi-static mode I displacement-controlled setup with cohesive zone volume elements (CZVEs) to study failure mechanisms and evaluate the fract
Inconel 718 is one type of nickel-based alloy used for a large range of applications, including gas turbines and aeroengines components. Although mechanical and thermodynamic properties of this material have been deeply studied in the past years, a method able to investigate local properties of the thin white layer formed on the alloy surface after machining remains challenging. Here, a 90 nm X-ra
Aims. In this work, we aim to make a differential comparison of the neutron-capture and p-process element molybdenum (Mo) in the stellar populations in the local disk(s) and the bulge, focusing on minimising possible systematic effects in the analysis. Methods. The stellar sample consists of 45 bulge and 291 local disk K-giants observed with high-resolution optical spectra. The abundances are dete
The orientation of four species of passerine long-distance migrants was studied in spring and autumn by orientation cage experiments during the twilight period after sunset in Sweden. Two groups of migrants from the Palaearctic-African migration system were used: migrants wintering mainly north of the magnetic equator in west Africa (pied flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca, and redstart, Phoenicurus p
Investigates memory initiatives in three of the world’s hardest to solve conflicts and how they can be invested with more constructive dynamics Agonistic memory work as a framework for conflict transformation In-depth case studies from Colombia, Israel-Palestine, and Northern Ireland Careful historical tracing of memory politics in zones of protracted conflict Agonistic memory dialogues a
We propose a methodology to enhance local CO2 monitoring by integrating satellite data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatories (OCO-2 and OCO-3) with ground-level observations from the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) and weather data from the ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5). Unlike traditional methods that downsample national data, our approach uses multimodal data fusion for high-resolution
Therapeutic proteins are essential in modern medicine but are often susceptible to chemical degradation during production, transportation, and storage, which can compromise functionality and even lead to immunogenicity in patients. This study investigates how the structure of the affibody GA-Z affects its chemical stability and how glycerol stabilizes the protein against deamidation and isomerizat
Tourism is a vital sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 10 percent of all employment and bringing benefits to numerous individuals and regions. Understanding how the sector can be managed in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner in tourist destinations around the globe is therefore essential. It is known, however, that different destinations have differ
The purpose of this study is to understand and gain insights into the entrepreneurial marketing experiences of female immigrant women in the Helsinki metropolitan area. There is limited literature on immigrant entrepreneurs in Finland and even less regarding female immigrant entrepreneurs, thus it is important to investigate this subject matter. A qualitative research method is adopted, through t
Forest biomass acts as an important indicator of carbon resources in terrestrial system. Estimation of forest biomass enables a straightforward measurement of carbon storage and provides initial values for process-based carbon cycle models to simulate carbon dynamics. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) remote sensing is increasingly used to estimate forest biomass because of its ability to detect
Swedish municipalities play a key role in identifying essential services and critical infrastructures at the local level. However, there seems to be a lack of systematism to the current identification process. Since the identified essential services and infrastructures are input data for further analyses, the lack of systematism has far-reaching effects. The study is intended to examine the curren
This thesis aims to describe, analyze and evaluate how the local government policies accommodate housing segregation in neighborhoods of Malmö, Sweden. This is done mainly through an analysis of material collected from documents and interviews, to a large extent concerning a recently built area within Malmö: Limhamns Sjöstad. Through a theoretical framework based on neoliberalism and the locally p
Mexico has a large share of indigenous people that are living in disproportionally high poverty levels. As a result, rural communities are facing deprivation of indigenous peoples in search of work in urban areas. The community-based cooperative “Millennial Women” was formed about 2-3 years ago with the intentions to maintain community resilience while promoting economic development in the rural c
