On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations. It delves into families with young children who pursue alternative lifestyles by moving abroad to a presumably less stressful environment or by homeschooling their childrOn the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations.

Frost is damaging to plants when air temperature drops below their tolerance threshold. The set of mechanisms used by cold-tolerant plants to withstand freezing is called “hardening” and typically take place in autumn to protect against winter damage. The recent incorporation of a hardening scheme in the demographic vegetation model FATES opens up the possibility to investigate frost mortality to

This study investigated the applicability and performance of a hydrological model (namely FLEXG) for simulating streamflow in boreal catchment, exemplified by the representative Krycklan catchment. The FLEXG simulated daily streamflow for the whole catchment and its sub-catchments. The Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) demonstrated favorable model performance during

Background and Objectives: Volunteering is characterised by an obligation-free action that occurs typically in an organisational setting. Its goals are to improve the health and well-being of others. Volunteering has the possibility of increasing both mental and physical health of volunteers. Values are the guiding motivators to applying for volunteering activities. The thesis aimed to understand

The Routledge International Handbook of Research Security examines research security - the act of protecting and securing university research and teaching in the name of national security - through a multidisciplinary and comparative lens. In this volume, contributors explore theoretical, domestic, international, and practical pursuits of research security across the globe. Over six sections, the

This research explores herbaceous biomass estimation in African rangelands through remote sensing, emphasizing challenges and uncertainties. Comparing remote sensing data with ground validation, the study addresses spatiotemporal variations, employing advanced models and validation techniques. Harmonizing and calibrating ground data from four African countries, the research provides insights into

PowerPoint-presentation Lund university | sweden Why Sweden and Lund University? When applying for studies abroad, there are several costs you must consider. 1 From the mountains of the mighty north, to the white sandy beaches of the temperate south. So what do you know about Sweden, besides it not being Switzerland? There are not that many people in Sweden. Around 10 million. Likely some of you a

Landslides of contaminated soil into surface water represent an overlooked exposure pathway that has not been addressed properly in existing risk analysis for landslide hazard, contaminated land, or river basin management. A landslide of contaminated soil into surface water implies an instantaneous exposure of the water to the soil, dramatically changing the prerequisites for the mobilisation and

The history of the population control movement is one replete with controversies and where narratives about coercive population control policies and programs abound. Questionable practices such as the wide sterilization campaigns as took place in India during its state of emergency period in the 1970s or the use of contraceptives in developing world already banned from Western markets contributed

Inhemsk mikroalg skapar hållbarhet genom kombination av produktion och vattenrening Genom att använda snabbväxande mikroalger i avloppsvatten för produktion av biomassa har vattnet renats och det enda som tillsätts är solljus och koldioxid. Denna metod möjliggör hållbar produktion av en rad produkter, däribland biobränslen, samtidigt som samhällstjänster såsom vatten- och luftrening utförs på köpAbstract A few local microalgae was isolated and cultivated in vertical column with artificial lighting in 12 h light cycles in wastewater at the local wastewater treatment plant. The growth of the algae strains was observed and the fastest growing (Scenedesmus sp.) was subsequently cultivated outdoors under natural sunlight. pH controlled CO2 input resulted in up to twice as high biomass product

This study critically explores the launch of the mission for 100 climate neutral cities in Europe. Key elements of the mission are introduced and analysed along with some of its challenges and ambiguities.

This study investigates the first Climate City Contracts (CCCs) in Sweden and consequently Europe. To do so, it evaluates the content of the Swedish CCCs against a framework for best practice deep decarbonisation plans.

Black carbon (BC) is an air pollutant of emerging concern, and further evidence is needed to understand its health effects. This study investigates the association between gestational BC exposure and birth outcomes, and whether these effects are independent of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure. We used data from the population-based birth cohort, Maternal

Extreme environmental events such as Heat Waves (HWs), cold waves, and droughts intensified by climate change are increasingly associated with adverse health outcomes. In this study, investigation of the extreme temperature across Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), one of India’s largest and densely populate states has been done. Using high-resolution climate data from the Providing REgional Climates for Impa

Towards Sustainable Menstrual Health Management in Tanzania POLICY BRIEF FROM LUND UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES | 2018 POLICY BRIEF For any girl or woman in the world periods can be a struggle. In Tanzania, lack of hygiene products and potable water, sanitation facilities and waste collec- tion systems, along with deeply rooted taboos makes the menstrual cycle even harder. Poor Men
