A prerequisite to applying 10Be in natural archives for solar and geomagnetic reconstructions is to know how 10Be deposition reflects atmospheric production changes. However, this relationship remains debated. To address this, we use two state-of-the-art global models GEOS-Chem and ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3 with the latest beryllium production model. During solar modulation, both models suggest that 10Be de

Microsoft Word - ASG Moves towards an anticolonial academy 2018-2019 ENG.docx ASG Moves towards an anticolonial academy: Exploring post and decolonial epistemic options Over the past few years, a transnational and transdisciplinary conversation has been taking place, on the relationship between academic work and the global history of colonialism. This ASG takes as its starting point the fact that

Sweden has for the last half-century had a very high consumption of dairy products compared to other European countries. This high demand in cow’s milk puts a lot of pressure on the dairy industry which requires a high amount of feed, water and energy to produce dairy products. These factors combined with the rumination that occurs when cows eat is the origin of the release of greenhouse gases (GH
Global biodiversity loss threatens ecological stability and human well-being. Biodiversity credits(biocredits) have emerged to address the funding gap for conservation, but may overlook local values and uses of nature, which are vital for sustaining cultural identities, livelihoods, and long-term stewardship of ecosystems. This thesis, grounded in the Plural Valuation of Nature framework, explores
Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are rising, thereby acceler-ating global warming and related effects on the environment. Forests are an important ecosystem and can act as carbon sinks, providing a buffer against these effects. However, disturbances such as clearcutting can turn the forests into carbon sources. In this project, the effects of clearcutting on the carb

THE FANTASTIC FOUR n the retail business, the term G-force is routinely used to promote “hi-tech” products, whether it be racing gear, clothing or watches with uniquely durable qualities. In May of this year, a group of Parkinson’s researchers chose that same name for a global alliance with real technological prowess. As we stand on the threshold of the first cell transplants in Parkinson’s patien

Background: Low-cost particulate matter sensors have enabled new opportunities for exposure monitoring but require evaluation before application in epidemiological studies. This study assessed the performance of the SPS30 sensor integrated into the ARMIE portable monitoring sensor-node under controlled laboratory conditions. Methods: Sensors were co-located with two comparison instruments—the opti
Particle induced oxidative stress is a probable pathway for many of the detrimental health-effects caused by particulate matter (PM). Recent studies on the exposure to oxidative potential (OP) in ambient fine and coarse PM suggest that anthropogenic particle pollutants, especially vehicular wear, anthropogenic primary and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are more toxic on mass basis and more relev
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing public health challenge in South Africa, deeply rooted in intersecting social, economic, and structural factors. Comprehensive approaches are increasingly recognized as essential for addressing the complex nature of the issue. While efforts to prevent GBV among children and adolescents can yield long-term, sustainable outcomes, they often remain fragm
Food systems can negatively impact the environment and human health, posing challenges to global sustainability goals. Employing the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, this thesis examines sustainable entrepreneurs' role in transforming food systems to support plant-based food consumption. Focusing on Swedish plant-based alternative food start-ups, I conducted 11 interviews to explore
As global temperatures rise, adverse health effects due to heat exposure are an increasingly pressing issue, particularly threatening to the health of elderly people. Mitigating these threats requires a dynamic climate adaptation system embedding a variety of measures. Ideally, such a system incorporates the coping strategies and experiences of the vulnerable themselves in a well-developed strateg
In this study, Sweden’s role in the negotiations towards managing greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation in the UN specialized agency International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is analysed. In 2016, ICAO decided to implement an emissions offsetting mechanism for international aviation, called CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction System for International Aviation). CORSIA has
Problem and Urgency: A global loss of cultivated biodiversity and traditional knowledge and practices can be observed. It is, however, essential to preserve this heritage that contributes to climate resilience, diversification of ecosystems and the dynamization of rural areas. Approach: Based on the work with Connecta Natura in the Sierra de Espadán (Spain), this thesis makes a proposal for a netw
The boreal biome exchanges large amounts of carbon (C) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the atmosphere and thus significantly affects the global climate. A managed boreal landscape consists of various sinks and sources of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC) across forests, mires, lakes, and streams. Due to the spatial heterogeneity, large u
Introduction: Developing a national assistive products list is an important part of an assistive technology policy and requires knowledge of total population need, and product costs and benefits; information is not always readily available in low-income countries. Our experience in Tajikistan of developing a national assistive products list provides guidance for others. Methods: Two hundred people
Purpose of Review: The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of the Arctic as vegetation changes, soils warm, fires become more frequent, and wetlands evolve as permafrost thaws. In this study, we review the extensive evidence for Arctic climate change and effects on the carbon cycle. In add
