This project aims to envision the future of virtual collaboration in the year 2030. Global trends show that ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, hybrid work has become a standard in almost all job sectors, making virtual collaboration crucial for the success of hybrid teams. Although the option to work from home partially or completely has well documented outcomes of higher employee productivity and
Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti
The housing shortage in Sweden means that a lot of focus is placed on finding new efficient methods that allow for a faster and more cost-effective construction. The type of industrial construction that was used in the so called Million Program in Sweden in the 60s and 70s was substandard in many ways and has given many Swedes a negative image of what industrialized construction and prefabrication
Summertime measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes were carried out over a range of high-arctic ecosystem types in the valley Zackenbergdalen since 1996 using both chamber and eddy covariance methodology. The net ecosystem CO2 exchange and CH4 flux data presented reveal a high degree of inter-annual variability within the dominant vegetation types in the valley, but also show distinct differences betwe
The production, consumption and disposal of plastics in today’s economies simultaneously contribute to climate change and pollution. With expected production growth for plastics, these problems will only exacerbate. To address the plastic crisis, we need a reduction of its production, as well as a fundamental rethinking of our relationship with this material. Reorganising economies to be less reli
Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a widely used technique for imaging subsurface resistivity distributions, but conventional data acquisition strategies face trade-offs between resolution, efficiency, and data quality. Comprehensive datasets that maximize subsurface information are impractical to measure directly, motivating the development of ERT data reconstruction approaches that can g
Food encodes social and cultural values and has an important role to play in defining identities. In mixed populations, diet can be used to distinguish between ‘us’ and ‘them’. This study investigates the extent to which the inhabitants of mediaeval Tallinn, an important trading centre, used food to maintain distinct identities. Human skeletal material was selected from four mediaeval cemeteries i
Det ökande byggandet av stadsvägtunnlar, de alpina tunnelolyckorna runt millennieskiftet, och det efterföljande EU-direktiv (2004/54/EC) med minimikrav gällande brandsäkerhet har placerat brandsäkerhet i vägtunnlar högt på dagordningen. Samtidigt är moderna enkelriktade vägtunnlar ofta bland de säkraste delarna av vägsystemet. Har vi kommit till en punkt där resurserna används bättre någon annanstThis thesis can be described as a journey in performance-based fire safety design. Along the way questions such as what fire safety is, how it can be measured, whether we are posing the right questions, or engineer the best solutions, have arisen. The safety journey naturally started out with the traditional view, with fire safety engineering based on limit-based design. Using this paradigm the sa
Although platelets are best known as primary mediators of hemostasis, this function intimately associates them with inflammatory processes, and it has been increasingly recognized that platelets play an active role in both innate and adaptive immunity. For example, platelet adhesive interactions with leukocytes and endothelial cells via P-selectin can lead to several pro-inflammatory events, inclu
The chiral tetradentate N4-donor ligand, 1-methyl-2-({(S)-2-[(S)-1-(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl methyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]pyrrolidin-1-yl}methyl) benzimidazole (S,S- PDBz L), based on a chiral dipyrrolidine backbone, has been synthesized and its corresponding Fe(ii) complex has been prepared and characterized. The X-ray structure of the complex reveals that the Fe(ii) ion is in a distorted octahedral
Tropical biodiversity is threatened by the expansion of oil-palm plantations. Reduced-impact farming systems such as agroforests, have been proposed to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In regions where oil-palm plantations already dominate the landscape, this increase can only be achieved through systematic ecological restoration. However, our knowledge about the underlying ecologi
Two hydride compounds with aliphatic pincer ligands, (PCyP)IrH2 (PCyP = {cis-1,3-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane}- (1) and (PCyP)IrH4 (2), have been studied, with emphasis on features where such systems differ from arene-based analogues. Both compounds reveal relatively rapid exchange between α-C-H and Ir-H, which can occur via formation of carbene or through demetalation, with near
Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles are cross-linked polymer colloids containing tailor-made molecular recognition sites. In this study, molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were easily encapsulated within polymer nanofibers using an electrospinning technique to produce a new type of molecular recognition material. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was used as the supporting nanofibers matrix to e
Denna studie är en fallstudie av en byggnad belägen i Malmö, Sverige, som undersöker olika energieffektiva åtgärder och deras potentiella påverkan på byggnadens energikonsumtion. En förstudie genomfördes för att inhämta kunskap om tillämpliga energieffektiva åtgärder från befintlig forskning. Därefter genomfördes fallstudien i tre huvudsakliga faser. I den första fasen samlades byggnadsinformationThis study is a single case study of a building situated in Malmö, Sweden, examining various retrofit measures and their potential impact on the building’s energy performance. A pre-study was carried out to gain knowledge on applicable retrofitting measures from existing literature. Subsequently, the case study consisted of three major phases. In the first phase, building information was collected
Människor är beroende av ekosystemtjänster för vår existens och vårt uppehälle. Vad är då ekosystemtjänster? Jo, det är allt det naturen ger som skapar förutsättningar för, stödjer eller förbättrar i våra liv. Syre, mat och vatten är basala förutsättningar för att vi ska få leva, och kommer alla från ekosystem där det finns växter med fotosyntes, maskar som vänder jorden och grus och sand som filtEcosystem functions and services are vital for all humankind and our existence. Nevertheless, ecosystems are deteriorating due to human activities, while the influence over and partaking of their services is unequally distributed. A multifunctional landscape has the characteristics of supplying a broad range of ecosystem services, attracting stakeholders that will build diverse relationships to th
Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. They contribute to mitigation and adaptation policy measures and support private forest owners in deciding ideal practices to implement. The complex nature
