The urgency of addressing climate change has underscored the need for precise carbon management—an approach that precisely monitors, assesses, and manages carbon emissions and sequestration at fine spatial, temporal, and sectoral scales. This perspective paper examines the current state of precise carbon management, highlighting advancements in ground-based observations, remote sensing, process-ba
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård innehåller i dagsläget ett stort antal informationssystem som inte kommunicerar med varandra digitalt. Detta minskar patientsäkerheten och leder till stora effektivitetsförluster inom verksamheten. Ett aktuellt ämne på både lokal, regional och nationell nivå är därför hur dessa system kan integreras. I denna uppsats presenterar vi ett ramverk för utvärdering av de integr
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple crops in the world and is used to prepare a range of foods. The development of new varieties with wider variation in grain composition could broaden their use. We characterized grains and flours from oil-accumulating transgenic wheat expressing the oat (Avena sativa L.) endosperm WRINKLED1 (AsWRI1) grown under field conditions. Lipid and star
The determinants of fire-driven changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) across broad environmental gradients remains unclear, especially in global drylands. Here we combined datasets and field sampling of fire-manipulation experiments to evaluate where and why fire changes SOC and compared our statistical model to simulations from ecosystem models. Drier ecosystems experienced larger relative changes
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loading is rarely estimated in tropical watersheds. This study quantifies DOC loading in the Rukarara River Watershed (RRW), a Rwandan tropical forest and agricultural watershed, and evaluates its relationship with hydrological factors, land use and land cover (LULC), and topography to better understand the impact of stream DOC export on watershed carbon budgets. The
Climate change is predicted to cause milder winters and thus exacerbate soil freeze–thaw perturbations in the subarctic, recasting the environmental challenges that soil microorganisms need to endure. Historical exposure to environmental stressors can facilitate the microbial resilience to new cycles of that same stress. However, whether and how such microbial memory or stress legacy can modulate
Understanding biodiversity patterns poses a persistent challenge due to the complex interconnections of ecological and evolutionary processes. The particular difficulty comes from the various processes influencing biodiversity patterns across different spatial scales. This thesis aims to enhance comprehension of community diversity patterns by employing theoretical models that are capable of gener
The Swedish policy response to Covid-19 is exceptional by international comparison. This column explains how the approach is decided by three articles in the Swedish constitution. The first guarantees the freedom of movement for Swedish citizens, ruling out nationwide lockdowns. The second establishes unique independence for public agencies, allowing them to design the policy response to the pande
I svensk rätt är inte medverkan till självmord straffbart annat än i de fall då agerandet kan anses falla inom ordalydelsen för mordparagrafen i BrB. Men varför är inte medverkan till självmord kriminaliserat när samtyckesdödande alltid är det? I denna framställning undersöks gällande rätt avseende gränsdragningen mellan medverkan till självmord och samtyckesdödande. Dessutom undersöks StraffrättsBy Swedish criminal law it is illegal to take someone’s life regardless of consent. However, abetment of suicide is not criminalized apart from cases in which the action or omission can be implicated in the wording of the Penal Code. Why is not abetment of suicide as such criminalised when consensual homicide in all cases is unlawful? The established law regarding the distinction between abetment
Climate-induced migration has received an increased amount of attention as an area of research. Earlier studies identify ideal typical discourses of climate-induced migration, in which climates migrants have been positioned as a ‘threat’, as ‘passive victims’ and most recently as ‘adaptable agent’. Drawing on poststructural discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe and postcolonial theory this essay h
I vårt mångkulturella samhälle tilldelas religionsfriheten stor betydelse. En fråga som förefaller aktuell inom detta område är huruvida skolavslutningar får anordnas i kyrkan eller inte. Ett flertal intressen kan bli aktuella när frågan behandlas och en avvägning mellan dessa måste ske. Tänkvärda aspekter att se till är förhållandet mellan religion och tradition samt intresseavvägningen mellan deFreedom of religion is a democratic value of great importance in our multicultural society. A question that is perceived to be important within this subject is whether or not graduation ceremonies are allowed to be held in churches. A number of interests may be of importance when this question is discussed and a levelling between the different interests is not uncommon. Important factors to look a
The aim of this project was to examine the forest fire management in Sweden and ascertain what benefits can be drawn by comparing with international methods. The study is manufactured by studying literature, interviews and visits to the fire‐affected forest in Västmanland. The main conclusions of the project is the great need for a national advocacy group with vast knowledge and experience of for
Sharia har blivit ett hett ämne i debatten om huruvida Islam är förenligt med den moderna värld vi idag säger oss leva i eller ej. De samhällen där Islam är den dominerande religionen uppmanas att lägga Sharian bakom sig om de vill bli accepterade medlemmar i det internationella samfundet. Sharialagarna är till stor del baserade på Koranen men också på sunna – dvs. profeten Muhammeds vanor och relOver the last decade, Sharia has become an intense subject of discussion. Especially considering the laws compatibility with the modern society we now are claiming to live in. Countries, where Islam is the dominating religion, are encouraged to look past Sharia in order to become worthy members of the international congregation. Sharia is derived from two primary sources, the divine revelations se
