Detecting and forecasting riverine floods is of paramount importance for adequate disaster risk management and humanitarian response. However, this is challenging in data-scarce and ungauged river basins in developing countries. Satellite remote sensing data offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to the limited in-situ data when training, parametrizing and operating flood models.

In this study we ask how a range of environmental sustainability adjustments that consumers find it easy to adopt affect the carbon footprint of their food consumption. The study is based on information about real purchases offood products and responses to a questionnaire about the various sustainability adjustments that the study participants apply and their concern about climate change.

In the beginning of the 1990’s community service was introduced at a couple of Swedish courts as an experiment. It was to be a compliment to probation and together the two were supposed to be considered the equivalent in harshness of a shorter prison sentence. After a few years the experiment was extended to all Swedish courts and by the end of the decade community service was made a permanent par

I svensk rätt finns i dagsläget ingen bestämmelse om allmän skyldighet att bistå nödställda. Frågan har, historiskt sett, behandlats i utredningar och flertalet motioner har lagts fram men alla har gått i avstyrkande riktning. I brist på en straffsanktionerad hjälpplikt kan enskilda trots förmåga och hjälpmedel välja att inte ingripa utan att straffas. Lagstiftaren menar att försiktighet måste iak

The existence of frozen conflicts in Europe are posing difficulties in the application of international human rights treaties. This is due to, de facto governments of break-away regions not cooperating with international mechanisms and refusing to comply with regional and international instruments. The break-away regions of Transnistria and Abkhazia are such examples. Officially part of Republic o

Popular Abstract in English What is common between the science of physics and global politics? They both define power in terms of energy. Indeed, the uneven distribution of petroleum reserves has been one of the main reasons of social, political and economic problems worldwide. Even more worrying is the rapid increase in the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is mainly caused by ouCaldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an extremely thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive and cellulolytic microorganism with a natural ability to produce hydrogen (H2) at nearly theoretical maximum yield, i.e. 4 mol/ mol of glucose. Due to its CO2-free combustion and high energy density, among other desirable properties, H2is touted as a fuel of the future. Biological H2 production b

The possibility to make environmental strategy a part of the core strategy through a framework called inside-out/outside-in was suggested by Porter in 2007. Researchers have also stated that the output of implementing a certain strategy ought to be valued during strategy planning. The two areas; environmental strategy and profitability analysis have although not frequently been combined, and thus

The gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,

Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi

Potato is one of the major food crops and its yield is severely affected by late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans has the ability to manipulate plant defence signalling by secreting effector molecules causing so called effector triggered susceptibility. Some plants can recognize these effectors via resistance proteins that reactivate plant defence and lead to effector
