Forests are today recognised as vital for ensuring a sustainable world and today’s initiatives to save them address everything from actual resource use to fictitious agendas such as carbon sequestration. Forests have become embedded in a “fog of greening”, and in this process local forest become global spaces for saving the world. The fog of greening is dislocated from the ground but has both mate

This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is

Linyphiid-spindlar trivs bäst i norr! Spindlar är en av de viktigaste predatorerna och de finns nästan överallt. Vilka spindlar som finns på en plats beror bland annat på habitat och klimat. Klimatet styrs till stor del av vilken breddgrad platsen ligger på. I min studie jämförde jag spindelfaunan i två typer av skogshabitat; lövskog och barrskog. Platserna är valda på en gradient genom Sverige fSpiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu

Värdefulla träd och biotoper på Kvarnby golfbana i Malmö När landskap förändras och fragmenteras i takt med urbanisering, jordbruk eller annan mänsklig påverkan, måste arter hitta nya livsmiljöer för att etablera sig och överleva. Sådana livsmiljöer kan till exempel vara en golfbana i staden. När man anlägger nya golfbanor i Skåne gör man det ofta på gammal åkermark, där golfbanorna kan ha högre When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c

With industrial robots ready to take the next step in mastering manufacturing tasks new approaches to reduce the programing effort are needed. This is achieved by introducing skills as robot "know-how" and using them as a higher abstraction level of robot instructions during programming. The skills are reusable items providing motion control and rich declarative descriptions of complex r

A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys och intersektionell teoribildning studera huruvida könsnormer reproduceras i dagens populärlitteratur riktat till unga tjejer. Det empiriska materialet består av sex nummer av tidningarna Solo och Veckorevyn från 2015. Detta material har kategoriserats och delats upp i fyra återkommande teman för vidare analys; relationer, sex, uts

Denna uppsats berör James Bond-filmerna "Thunderball" och "Never Say Never Again" utifrån den franske teoretikern, kompositören och författaren Michel Chions teorier. Filmerna jämförs med hjälp av hans begrepp och termer, såsom masking method m.m

Previous research about mechanical properties in shear of paperboard is limited. The out-of-plane properties of paper have been investigated in this work. To mimic the industrial processes of packaging paperboard, shear tests have been performed. Compression has also been applied in the ZD-direction to mimic the high shear from the creasing. The mechanical behavior of paperboard in the MD- and CD

The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept of high relevance for business in general, and within logistics in particular (Seuring et al., 2008), and represents a set of actions that extend beyond the legal obligations and the explicit monetary interests of the company, aiming to benefit the society (McWilliams and Siegel, 2001). An important dimension of CSR is Occupational Health and Safe

The interactions between airway epithelial cells (AECs) and dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the sensitization towards airborne allergens. Not much is known about the underlying mechanisms and novel in vitro approaches are needed, which include the different involved cell types in order to investigate what happens at the molecular level during sensitization. In this project, one aim

In Sweden, hypertension, is one of the most common reasons to attend primary care thus a Swedish public health problem of epic proportions. There is a general consensus about that effective antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and premature death. Non-pharmacological treatment is advocated to be the basis of treatment. The caregiver is responsible for s

Användningen av miljöcertifiering för byggnader har ökat de senaste åren och intresset beror på flera faktorer så som: värdeökning, miljömedvetenhet, PR etc. Regionservice använder certifiering vid deras nyproducerade byggnader och de använder då Miljöbyggnad. Att använda miljöcertifieringar påverkar upphandlingen då det sätter rammar för de tekniska kraven. Samtidigt finns lagen om offentlig upph

Numeriska implementeringar av GMRES-metoden för minimering av residualer: För att förstå exakt vad som händer när, till exempel, luft strömmar över en flygplansvinge eller när vatten flyter kring ett fartygsskrov, behövs omfattande datorberäkningar. Eftersom storheter som vindhastighet, lufttryck eller temperatur kan variera redan över små avstånd, måste beräkningarna göras i små steg, vilket kräThe generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) is an iterative method used to find numerical solutions to non-symmetric linear systems of equations. The method relies on constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov space and is thus vulnerable to an imperfect basis caused by computational errors. There have been attempts to address this issue by devising variations of the method that are less
