To understand the evolution of our galaxy, the chemical abundance patterns and trends within the stars of the different regions are explored. The process of synthesizing these elements reveals key details about the way the stars and, therefore, the galaxy formed. This project focused on the element potassium, K, and specifically its absorption line 7699 Å. The local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE)
Vietnam is one of the countries in the world that is projected to be most impacted by climate change. Extreme weather events such as storms and floods are predicted to increase with the changing climate. As such, climate change adaptation is crucial, especially for farmers who are relying on vulnerable livelihoods to climate change. This thesis investigates gendered patterns within the province of
Ett av de mest effektiva sätten för stater att samla in intäkter till statskassan är genom beskattning. Detta även om värdeskapandet sker utanför landets gränser. Problemet brukar benämnas för dubbelbeskattning. Som en följd av detta uppstår det från ett mikroperspektiv en osäkerhet för skattskyldiga vid gränsöverskridande transaktioner. Från ett makroperspektiv äventyras även potentiella investerOne of the most effective ways for states to raise revenue for their treasury is through taxation. This is even if the value creation takes place outside the country's borders. The problem is usually referred to as double taxation. As a consequence of this, from a micro perspective, uncertainty arises for taxpayers in cross-border transactions. From a macro perspective, potential investments b
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a type of cryptocurrency that consist of unique, non-exchangeable tokens, which are traded on a blockchain. These unique tokens are associated with digital assets such as images, art, videos, or music. With the rapid rise of NFTs’ popularity in 2021, a community established around trading, selling, and collecting of NFTs. This study explored the NFT community at larg
Freshwater systems are active components of the global carbon cycle and contribute to global CO2 emissions. Freshwater studies in the Arctic are underrepresented, especially regarding lakes and their Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) reactivity and composition dynamics. DOC is a main part of DOM (dissolved organic matter), which drives processes central to carbon cycling, influences chemical and biol
“1000 Extra” is a project that takes off in the sub optimal conditions that city planning in the 20-th century has left behind for the future. First and foremost looking at the conditions of residential areas planned based on doctrines stemming in modernism, the project proposes desnsifying the not-so-dense areas in Lund, consisting of row houses and other residential buildings in the same categor
Micropollutants in our sources of freshwater is an issue which requires immediate attention. The presence of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting agents, pesticides and other harmful compounds have proven to have impact on the aquatic as well as on human life. Treated wastewater being a major source of ingress of micropollutants into the aquatic environment, the current standards do not stipulate
Segregation är ett vanligt fenomen som uppstår över hela världen. De negativa konsekvenserna av boendesegregation har visat sig vara många för de som bor i mindre välbärgade stadsdelar. Bland konsekvenserna finns bland annat hälsorelaterade motgångar, men även sämre förutsättningar under skolgången och i det framtida arbetslivet har konstaterats. Sydafrika lämpar sig väl för att studera segregatioSegregation is a common phenomenon arising worldwide. Residential segregation has been shown to have several negative consequences for people living in less wealthy neighbourhoods, such as health-related setbacks and being less likely to cope with school. South Africa is an especially well-suited country to study segregation and methods to counteract it to achieve better integration and more harmo
The energy demand of the world continues to increase, while world's resources are exploited over its capacity. One way of facing these demands is to extend the use of fuel cells. A fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is unique since it only contains solid materials and the cell has

This deliverable reports on Risk Assessment for Wetland Sediment Applications on Agricultural Land. The main content is a thorough and critical evaluation (literature review) of the wetland coupled agriculture and the related concerns such as nutrients, sediments and contamination risks. This will also be supported by the two case studies. Constructed wetlands act as traps for substances carried w
Nigritella miniata is an alpine orchid species disjunctly endemic to the Eastern Alps and the Southeastern Carpathians. It is thought to have arisen only once through a hybridisation event between now extinct ancestors. Questions of interest are whether N. miniata survived in few or many isolated refugia in the Eastern Alps during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and their relationship with the pop
In this paper we present new relative sea-level data from southern Greenland, a key area for understanding the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) response to climate change. Within fourteen lakes and marine lagoons from the inner part of Bredefjord (Nordre Sermilik) in southern Greenland, isolations revealed by stratigraphic and palaeoecological analyses are dated and relative sea levels reconstructed. Due
The use of celestial or geomagnetic orientation cues can lead migratory birds along different migration routes during the migratory journeys, e.g. great circle routes (approximate), geographic or magnetic loxodromes. Orientation cage experiments have indicated that migrating birds are capable of detecting magnetic compass information at high northern latitudes even at very steep angles of inclinat
The bird-lemming hypothesis postulates that breeding success of tundra-nesting geese and waders in Siberia follows the cyclic pattern of lemming populations, as a result of predators switching from lemmings to birds when the lemming, population crashes. We present 50 years of data on constant-effort catches of red knot Calidris canutus and curlew sandpiper C. ferruginea at an autumn migratory stop
BACKGROUND: Postmenopausal hormone therapy (HRT) and oral contraceptive (OC) use have in several studies been reported to be associated with a decreased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. However, data on the association between HRT and OC and risk of different clinicopathological and molecular subsets of CRC are lacking. The aim of this molecular pathological epidemiology study was therefore to evalua
