Accurate crop yield predictions are crucial for mitigating food shortages and making informed agricultural decisions. This research uses different sequence lengths of UAV images across five wavelength bands to model winter wheat, spring wheat, and barley crop yield in

Most existing literature uses a mean-variance frame-work for evaluating expected stock returns and ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance. At the same time, it is argued that the risk mitigation offered by high ESG should lead to higher skewness and lower kurtosis in stock returns. It is also well established that investors have positive preferences for skewness and negative prefer
This study examines if the shortage of specialist nurses is caused by low wages. The economic return of education for specialist nurses in Region Skåne has been regressed by estimates of the wage premiums. By using wage data from Region Skåne, an extended version of the Mincer equation has been performed. The results show that the wage premium for a specialist nurse is 12.3 percent. The results pr
This study examines the rhetorical strategies employed by the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, particularly focusing on his use of humor and sarcasm during the Russian-Ukrainian War.

Since 1766 the principle public access to official documents have been the main rule and secrecy the exception within the Swedish State.

As a result of this development several
I den här studien fördjupas förståelsen kring en grupp psykologers och kuratorers upplevelser om att vara i samtal med klienter, och om hur de påverkas av den sekundära psykiska påfrestningen som kan uppkomma då. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på vilka strategier de använder för att hantera svåra samtal, samt vilka strategier de använder för att bibehålla balansen mellan arbetsliv och privatlivThe results from this study deepens the understanding of how psychologists and welfare officers experiences therapeutical consultations with clients, and also how they are affected by the secondary mental stress that may occur. The objectives of the study are to examine which strategies the interviewees use to manage the impact difficult consultations may have on them selves, as well as which stra
The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. The study presents a suitability analysis using GIS to find potential locations for blue-mussel farm establishment, and the outcome was produced as maps. A mul
This thesis examines how Kukama women in the Peruvian Amazon have mobilized against oil extraction along the Marañón River and how the recognition of the river’s rights can be understood within Peru’s historical and contemporary context of neo-extractivism. Using Feminist Political Ecology as an analytical framework, the study analyzes documents related to the rights-of-nature lawsuit led by Huayn
China’s maritime development during 200 B.C. to 1600 A.D. is usually vastly overlooked compared to its counterpart: Europe. Traditionally, Europe’s maritime development has been associated as the frontier of maritime growth, which began around the sixteenth century and eventually evolved into modern economic growth. However, the thesis challenges that Europe was the frontier of maritime growth; ra
How does violent conflict affect the spread of Covid-19? In this paper we analyze how violent conflict influences the adoption of preventative measures and infection rate in a very poor, conflict-affected country, Burkina Faso. We use a unique panel of 1,919 households surveyed during the first six months of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and merge these data with indicators of violence at the muniHow does violent conflict affect the spread of Covid-19?

Sweden has during the past decades experienced increasing challenges in suburban, segregated areas: the inhabitants have different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds but despite that, face similar problems. Many inhabitants lack relevant networks as well as other opportunities to become a part of the society. These inhabitants claim they don´t have the “keys” to understand their society and iSweden has during the past decades experienced increasing challenges in suburban, segregated areas: the inhabitants have different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds but despite that, face similar problems.

The first aim of this project is to make high-order harmonic (HHG) setups more compact and user-friendly, by including a micro-channel plate (MCP). Simulations of the transmission properties of an MCP has been performed. These simulations displayed introduced structure in the far field, but a very well behaved beam in the near field. Further, the wavefront of the zeroth order diffraction spot of M
Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #2 2025-02-10 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! I know there are a bunch of you who feel quite sick of winter right about now.
