Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningsmässigt skalar många av de klassiska metoderna inom spatiell statistik kubiskt med antalet observationer, vilket är opraktiskt om datamängderna är stora. I de traditionella tillämpningarna av statistik på spatiella datamänger begränsades ofta antalet observationer på grund av höga mätkostnader och metodernas beräkningskomplexitet inte sällan ett problem. NumerThe focus of this work is on the development of new random field models and methods suitable for the analysis of large environmental data sets. A large part is devoted to a number of extensions to the newly proposed Stochastic Partial Differential Equation (SPDE) approach for representing Gaussian fields using Gaussian Markov Random Fields (GMRFs). The method is based on that Gaussian Matérn fie

Herbivores drive shifts in plant species composition by interacting with vegetation through defoliation, trampling and nutrient addition: urine and faeces. As herbivore effects on vegetation accumulate over time, they might spillover to other trophic levels, but how and when this happens is poorly understood. Since it is methodologically demanding to measure biodiversity across spatial gradients,

We have recently described frequency-dependent effects of mobile phone microwaves (MWs) of global system for mobile communication (GSM) on human lymphocytes from persons reporting hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields and healthy persons. Contrary to GSM, universal global telecommunications system (UMTS) mobile phones emit wide-band MW signals. Hypothetically, UMTS MWs may result in higher bi

Cooking over open fire with solid fuels results in incomplete combustion and indoor air pollution (IAP) causing respiratory and other diseases leading to nearly two million premature deaths per year. In urban areas, IAP interacts with outdoor pollutants in toxic chemical mixtures affecting also other citizens and damaging regional air quality in terms of 'brown clouds'. Deaths result mainly in wom

This is a macro-historical study of China's strategic behaviour. China’s national defence has long posed an issue for Western observers and scholars. For generations, China’s attitude to warfare has been considered markedly pacifistic, and its concomitant military strategies primarily defensive. However, in his book Cultural Realism, Harvard’s Alastair Iain Johnston surprisingly concludes that Chi

BMR (Basal metabolic rate) is an important trait in animal life history as it represents a significant part of animal energy budgets. BMR has also been shown to be positively related to sustainable work rate and maximal thermoregulatory capacity. To this date, most of the studies have focused on the causes of interspecific and intraspecific variation in BMR, and fairly little is known about the fi

Hungary is one of the countries that has followed the global trend of democratic backsliding. Inspired by the closing of the Central European University in Budapest we decided to take a closer look at which laws made it possible for the Hungarian government to implement these changes on the higher education institutions. The purpose of this essay is to examine the civil democratic activity followi

Japan lies on an area frequently hit by typhoons while city functions are clustered along the flat coastal areas, hence Japan has experienced lots of storm surge disasters up to the present. Coastal areas along the Suo-nada Sea also have the vulnerability against storm surge and in the past Typhoon 18 in 1999, Typhoon 16 and 18 in 2004 made remarkable damages in the areas. Furthermore, due to glob

The purpose of this thesis is to create an additional critique of academic publishing through the lens of black open access – illicit measures for access to academic documents. This is done primarily through the process of qualitative interviews with librarians and PhD-students active at two Swedish universites. The thesis also includes a minor statistical case study aiming to show the usage of th

This study explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and cross-border transactions within international trade law, focusing on the associated legal challenges and regulatory considerations. Through an extensive review of academic literature, policy documents, and industry reports, the research identifies primary obstacles such as jurisdictional conflicts, liability frameworks, and data

Due to increasing global environmental problems, sustainable fashion becomes more present within the fashion market every day. Despite a general environmental awareness in today’s society, research shows that Swedish fashion consumers to a large extent do not buy sustainable fashion. The purpose of the essay is to, through qualitative focus group interviews, examine the gap between consumer values

The point of departure for this thesis was to study the phenomenon of increasing vandalism, specifically instances of stone throwing during the years of 2002 and 2003 in Rosengård. Located in the city of Malmö, Sweden, Rosengård has, like many other big city suburbs in Europe, turned into an ethnic enclave, inhabited mostly by under-privileged immigrants, many of which suffer from social exclusion

I undertake a comparative doctrinal study of the due diligence and liability provisions of the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, also accounting for some of the changes and omissions proposed under the so-called “Omnibus” process to streamline the already passed directive. In relation to the due diligence provisions, my main thrust is in comparing the directive to

Having implemented a ban on plastic shopping bags with three other reinforcements of the ban over the span of two decades, Bhutan still faces the issue of plastic shopping bag overconsumption and waste, where the ban policy has been proven ineffective. Issues of plastic shopping bag consumption in Bhutan are discussed to understand the plastic shopping waste situation in the country, and different
