De två Natura-2000 områdena Ravlunda och Revingehed i Skåne, södra Sverige, har genomgått en klimatkänslighetsanalys i denna studie som testade en utvärderingsmetod för relevans att använda inom Länsstyrelsen i Skånes arbete. Analysen gjordes med fokus på ekosystemtjänster identifierad för sanddominerade habitat på de två områdena. Genom användning av en nyligen publicerad report från NaturvårdsveThe two Natura-2000 areas of Ravlunda and Revingehed of Skåne, southern Sweden, have been subject to a climate change vulnerability assessment in this study, which tested an assessment method for relevance for work within the County Administrative Board of Skåne. The analysis was done with focus on ecosystem services found at the sand dominated habitats of the two areas. Using a recently published

Urbanisation in Beirut has led to a situation where the city suffers from a severe lack of green public space—Lebanon’s capital have ended up with some of the least amount of public green space per capita in the world. The lack of green surfaces and vegetation in Beirut contributes to the city’s Urban Heat Island (UHI)—a phenomenon where an urban or metropolitan area traps waste heat and end up si

The amount of wind turbines in Sweden has more than doubled in the last five years. Wind turbines can affect birds directly, by causing fatalities and indirectly, through habitat destruction, disturbance and barrier effects resulting from turbine construction and operation. To increase understanding of how this rapidly expanding form of energy harvesting affects avian communities in Sweden large,

Pollinators are important for both the agricultural landscape and natural areas, but currently many pollinator groups are declining. Pollinators have a strong relationship with plants, which humans long have benefited from. Nowadays, 35 % percent of the human food production somehow relies on animal pollination. Therefore, unravel the details about crop pollination and its relationship to differen

The floating population, also known as rural-urban immigrants, is a typical type of domestic migration appearing in the process of urbanization in contemporary China. Due to the policy restrictions, the Floating population is in a disadvantageous position and lacks social security. Though the ultimate goal for many domestic immigrants is to transform into urban residents, the biggest challenge t

In this essay I have tried to come close to a probable answer to the following question: Is there a risk that the trust between the Swedish public and the Swedish medical services staff, including the doctors, will be severely damaged if euthanasia is legalized in Sweden. In order to try to answer that question, and some other relevant questions that has corresponding interest in the context that

This study presents the formulation of planning guidelines to apply by the responsible entity for municipal solid waste management (IMAUBAR) in Iribarren Municipality, Venezuela, with the aim of complying with the recent legislative instrument passed in December 2010, the Law of Integrated Management of Garbage. An overview of the Latin American Region solid waste management planning documents was

The thesis identifies, via runic inscriptions and historical sources from the period, the first occurrences of personal identity and certificates in Scandinavia. Biometrical sources and cognitive, spatial, and chronological identity candidate groups as well as identity in ownership and artifacts are studied during Scandinavian Iron Age, from the Roman Iron Age (AD 1-375) to the Viking Age (AD 793-

Möllevången is a fascinating study of a neighborhood that has undergone significant change and transformation over time. Historically, the area was known for its working-class roots, with crowded narrow streets and traditional Swedish homes; but in recent decades the area has seen waves of gentrification and redevelopment, resulting in a mix of a new and old built environment that has made it one

Terra sigillata is a roman pottery type that was primarily produced in western Europe during the period between first century and fourth century AD. This pottery, as well as other objects imported from the Roman Empire, can perhaps show trading routes between societies in Scandinavia and societies in Europe. Accordingly the aim of this essay is to distinguish possible trading routes that have been

Many locations in Indonesia such as small islands and remote villages on the main islands are not connected to the main electricity grid, and may never be as they are too remote for grid extensions to be economically justifiable. Therefore, many either do not have electricity or are dependent on expensive diesel transports to fuel their stand alone, diesel powered mini-grids. Using a hybrid renewa

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energies in Sweden. To support this growth, it is essential to give stakeholders, such as investors, municipalities and policy planers, access to high accuracy and high-resolution wind speed data. Essential components for an accurate wind energy potential prediction are the average long-term wind speed and the probability of occurrence of wind

The Garden City, and the architectural streetscape is a master thesis in architecture, completed in the spring semester of 2022 at Lund School of Architecture. Ebenezer Howard introduced the Garden City vision in 1898. Since then, countless neighborhoods, suburbs, and cities have developed inspired by the concept. The purpose of the garden city was by the beginning to raise the standard of living

The rapid increase of asylum-seekers in 2015 overwhelmed the Greek reception system and led to the creation of numerous refugee camps throughout the country. The Sphere Minimum Standards provide globally acknowledged guidance to design and manage these facilities. They designate risk assessments as an essential tool to guarantee a safe environment for Persons of Concern. Yet, exposure to natural h

Saint Olav His Cult The subject of this thesis is Saint Olav (995-1030) and his cult in medieval Scandinavia. He was canonized soon after his death, and he became a popular saint in the Scandinavian countries. With the help of the material and historical evidence of the cult of Saint Olav I here attempt to trace who was the driving force behind its expansion, as well as why the cult was spread wi

In the E. ON sponsored research project, Distibution LABoratory, at the Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation at LTH the impact of the increased move towards use of cables in the Swedish distribution grid is examined. The project also built a model of a small distribution grid. The model was used to simulate a Petersen coil earthed grid system. Petersen coil earthing lower

The Archaean Yilgarn craton in Western Australia is a granite greenstone belt with abundant economically important mineral reserves, including several world-class gold deposits such as the giant Kalgoorlie deposit. Structural controls on gold deposition and the fact that most deposits were formed later in the craton’s tectonic history, has resulted in the general acceptance of a late-orogenic str

I have conducted a qualitative study based on five adult sober alcoholics’ life stories. The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe
