Tropical forests provide essential ecosystem services, playing a critical role in climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, and regional hydrological cycles while also supporting livelihoods. However, they are increasingly threatened by deforestation and land-use change. Accurate land cover (LC) mapping is vital to monitor these changes, but mapping tropical forests is challenging due to comp
När en kvinna föder barn kan hon få skador i underlivet. Det kan göra att man senare behöver opereras för att t.ex. tarmen eller urinblåsan inte sitter helt fast på sin ursprungliga plats i magen utan istället buktar ut i slidan, något som kallas för framfall. Ca 7000 kvinnor opereras för sådana problem varje år i Sverige och det blir en stor kostnad för samhället. Även om man kan få framfall utanBACKGROUND: It is well-known that pelvic organ prolapses and perineal tears can be a consequence of vaginal birth. Seven thousand women undergo surgery for pelvic organ prolapses in Sweden every year. OBJECTIVE: To search for medical literature that describes the identification and repair of the anatomical structures present in obstetrical perineal tears. To make an attempt to understand how prola
The environmental impact of poultry mainly arises from their feed. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the environmental impact of three Swedish poultry feeds and identify how their environmental performance could be improved. This was done with the method of life cycle assessment where the environmental impact categories of, climate change, acidification potential, eutrophication potential
Each year children and adults are injured in accidents caused by chemicals, usually due to incorrect use of the products. Studies have shown that children are more sensitive to chemical products and injuries that occur during childhood could cause lifelong consequences. In order to prevent accidents caused by chemicals it is important to label and package these products appropriately in accordance
Uppsatsen behandlar hur Rysslands president Vladimir Putin legitimerar in-vasionen av Ukraina genom historiska narrativ i kontrast till non-interventionsprincipen. Med utgångspunkt i ett rättshistorisk perspektiv utförs en diskurshistorisk analys tillsammans med historiedidaktisk ansats för att undersöka hur dessa argument förhåller sig till non-interventionsprincipen. Analysen grundar sig på fyraThe thesis examines how the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, seeks to legitimize the invasion of Ukraine through historical narratives and legal arguments. By applying a legal-historical approach combined with discourse-historical analysis, the study investigates how these narratives and arguments relate to the principle of non-intervention in international law. The analysis is
Denna uppsats studerar skiljeförfarandemekanismen i Convention of the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID-konventionen) och hur den används i bilaterala investeringsavtal (BITs). Ämnet analyseras utifrån Third World Approach to International Law (TWAIL), vars synsätt utgår från att det finns en strukturell orättvisa i folkrätten och en dominans av
En allt mer konkurrensinriktad marknad har ökat behovet för företag att fokusera på sin kärnkompetens. Givet denna utveckling har större nätverk med fler involverade parter vuxit fram, vilket lett till att fler företag börjat vända sig till en fjärde part. Fjärdepartslogistik innefattar en komplex integrering av försörjningskedjans alla komponenter och ett för kunden större överlåtande av sin verk

The purpose of this study was to investigate how food safety measures have developed over the last two decades; how the resent 2020 pandemic affected food safety- and control; how effective the current methods are; and what potential new methods might exist in the coming decade. This study was executed as a combined literary study, where current scientific studies and reports where analysed, and a
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an EU agency, providing scientific advice and standards surrounding risk assessment in order to maintain food safety in Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate how EFSA communicates uncertainty in conditions of their assessment and if the recommended guidelines by EFSA 2019 is fulfilled. 15 Randomly picked scientific articles produced during th
Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of
In Sweden, municipalities play a decisive part in the spatial planning due to their plan monopoly. Green infrastructure can be applied in spatial planning to reduce the effects of several societal challenges, such as loss of biodiversity and climate change. The purpose of this study is to investigate how green plans are used in physical planning and to identify potential development opportunities
In the Swedish region of Västra Götaland, the risks induced by climate change are severe and the increased pace of municipal climate adaptation measures is paramount to meet the effects of climate change. This actualizes a discussion about policy instruments to incentivize increased climate change adaptation. By interviewing 13 civil servants in 11 municipalities in the region, this study maps the
Society is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi
Barriers and solutions to reducing the personal carbon footprint 60-70% of the global CO2-emissions are directly related to our lifestyle and changing our behaviour has a huge mitigation potential. However, many find it difficult to change their lifestyle and the factors facilitating personal behavioural change are poorly understood. This study investigates barriers and solutions to behavioural c
Water-related issues such as drought and water scarcity are problems that many countries around the world are facing. To solve this, multiple efforts have been made to combat these problems such as adopting Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) as a management approach. IWRM is a holistic approach that links different water systems and has therefore been popularized and conceptualized by man
The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. Communicating products' sustainable footprint has become an ess
In recent years, heat waves have begun to be perceived as one of the biggest problems due to climate change. The Public Health Agency, which is the national supervisory guidance regarding health effects, has therefore updated its guidelines to ensure that regions and municipalities have sufficient information to carry out inspections in accordance with the Environmental Code. This study focuses
As the population increases, so does the need for residential buildings, offices, schools and preschools. The construction industry accounts for about 20% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. While buildings become more energy-efficient the focus is shifted from the operational phase to the construction phase. The law on climate declaration is a Swedish law, which holds developers responsible for
The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and
