Model calibration and greenhouse gas emissions estimationsWe study the interactions between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface focussing on exchanges of carbon, water, and energy at the vegetated land surface. This also includes human interactions and perturbations to the Earth system such as the burning of fossil fuel. We do this by a methodology commonly referred to as model-data fusion.Our

To define the thesis the concept of activism will be narrowed down to global environmental and justice
OBJECTIVE: In Sweden, a country with high standards of obstetric care, the high rate of perinatal mortality among children of immigrant women from the Horn of Africa raises the question of whether there is an association between female circumcision and perinatal death. METHODS: To investigate this, we examined a cohort of 63 perinatal deaths of infants born in Sweden over the period 1990–96 to cir
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
Samhället går mot större användning av digitala hjälpmedel. Detta innebär både en stor förändring och påverkning av omgivningen, både lokalt och globalt. I detta inkluderas även byggbranschen med en förändring som pågått sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Branschen, som länge varit betraktad som konservativ, befinner sig idag i en förändringsprocess som går snabbare än någonsin tidigare. Nya metoder och
Den globala uppvärmningen förändrar jordens klimat i snabb takt, det är främst utsläpp av växthusgaser som exempelvis koldioxid från förbränning av fossila bränslen som är orsaken. Sverige har tagit flera steg mot en hållbar energiproduktion där 65 % av elen är förnybar, men samtidigt är fossila bränslen en betydande del. Av Sveriges totala energianvändning går 25 % till att värma upp det befintliGlobal warming is changing the Earth's climate and is mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions from, for example, fossil fuels. Sweden's energy production consists of 65 % renewable energy, but the remaining amount comes from fossil fuels. Of Sweden's total energy production, a quarter goes to heating existing buildings. Upcoming EU directives set higher requirements for energy effici
This article explores the similarities between the two most successful Swedish films of the past years. Through a focus on the two elderly protagonists the article discusses how the films acknowledge challenges in these men’s lives and in both contemporary and past society, but effectively repackage any serious issue in a form that remains palatable to audiences in Sweden and internationally. Them
This paper re-focuses the Silk Road discussions from the position of contemporary art in Central Asian region. Since the late 1980s contemporary art in Central Asia boomed and it eventually became an alternative public space for the discussion of cultural transformations, social and global processes and problems that local societies faced. Initially the questions raised by many artists concerned i
This paper describes the results of a perception experiment in which subjects listening to a retold story in Dutch were asked to mark various perceived discourse structures and to give their judgements on prominence in the verbatim transcription of that story. They marked discourse boundaries by means of conventional punctuation, indicating perceived non-final, sentence final, and paragraph final
Climate change has become an increasingly prevalent topic of discussion within the media. In recent years, a variety of NGOs and social movements have called attention to this global environmental issue, but the resulting action has been insufficient. This thesis explores how modern environmental organisations have readjusted their approach to citizen mobilisation according to the demands of a med
The aim of this study is to highlight the emergence and spread of black protest, with a focus on Warsaw and Cracow in Poland, as well as Malmö in Sweden, from the participants’ perspective. Together with a historical background and theoretical discussion, I analysed the “Voices of Women” petition from the International Women’s Strike, and five qualitative research interviews with participants of t
Background: Emergency contraception (EC) is a type of modern contraception which is indicated after unprotected sexual intercourse when regular contraception is not in use. The importance of EC is evident in preventing unintended pregnancies and its ill consequences like unintended child delivery or unsafe abortion, which are the most common causes of maternal mortality. Therefore, EC need to be a
This thesis will investigate how Erik Hobsbawm’s theory of ‘social banditry’ can be applied to a contemporary setting to explain the strength and workings of ethnic Albanian organised crime groups. The paper will delve into a pre-existing debate surrounding the effectiveness of this theoretical lens as a method to account for the global phenomenon of banditry (particularly in the feudalist age).
Title: Being damned if you do and damned if you don’t - a qualitative study about the life situation of Romanian women who beg in the streets of Malmö. Background: Health is unevenly distributed within and among the countries of the world, and usually follows a population’s socio-economic status. The lower this is, in comparison to others’, the poorer the health. Romania is one of the poorest cou
