We analyze the impacts of changing dry season length and intensity on vegetation productivity and biomass. Our results show a wetness asymmetry in dry ecosystems, with dry seasons becoming drier and wet seasons becoming wetter, likely caused by climate change. The increasingly intense dry seasons were consistently correlated with a decreasing trend in net primary productivity (NPP) and biomass fro
Observed high spin states in 30Zn and 66Dy isotopes with two protons outside the closed shells at Z = 28 and Z = 64, respectively, are discussed and compared with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. Bands terminating at higher and higher spin values are formed from successive proton excitations across these shells. These bands show very different features depending on the number of excited pa
Säker tillgång på vatten är en samhällsfråga som påverkar allt och alla i Sverige, skriver en rad vattenforskare och andra vattenexperter.
Reliable estimates of past land cover are critical for assessing potential effects of anthropogenic land-cover changes on past earth surface-climate feedbacks and landscape complexity. Fossil pollen records from lakes and bogs have provided important information on past natural and human-induced vegetation cover. However, those records provide only point estimates of past land cover, and not the s
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling studeras begravningsentreprenörernas arbete. Materialet är i första hand inhämtat genom intervjuer och observationer på begravningsbyråer som tillhör Sveriges Begravningsbyråers Förbund. Begravningsentreprenörer upplever att det finns en negativ bild av yrket, som är kopplad till hanteringen av avlidna. Samtidigt efterfrågas begravningsentreprenörernThis dissertation has a dual purpose. Firstly to describe what funeral directors do and how they experience their work. Secondly to see if, and in that case how, funeral directors influence rites around the deceased, both official as well as more private rites. The study is based on text analysis, interviews with 32 funeral directors and field studies on four funeral parlours. Only funeral directo
Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskor arbetar i en högteknologisk miljö med mycket engångsmaterial av plast. Anestesislangar som används är av plast och ofta avsedda för engångsbruk. Enligt ICN:s etiska kod ska alla sjuksköterskor arbeta för FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling, att minska plastanvändningen är en central fråga. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans uppfat
Artskyddsförordningen kan föranleda en inskränkning av en skogsägares rådighet över sin skogsbruksfastighet. Rådighetsinskränkningen utgör ett ingrepp i en skogsägares äganderätt, vilket kan berättiga intrångsersättning. För att intrångsersättning ska erläggas krävs dels ett stadgande som berättigar intrångsersättning, dels att pågående markanvändning inom berör del av fastigheten avsevärt försvårForest owners' right of disposition over their forestry property units might be limited by restriction under the Species Protection Ordinance. The restriction of use constitutes a potential violation of the right to property. A forest owner may be entitled to compensation if there is a correlated regulation that justifies compensation and if the restriction of use causes a significant difficul
This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
Mapping in situ eddy covariance measurements of terrestrial land–atmosphere fluxes to the globe is a key method for diagnosing the Earth system from a data-driven perspective. We describe the first global products (called X-BASE) from a newly implemented upscaling framework, FLUXCOM-X, representing an advancement from the previous generation of FLUXCOM products in terms of flexibility and technica
This study investigates building of trust between service providers and consumers on peer-to-peer tourist accommodation platforms by focusing on their affordances. Trust is necessary for peer-to-peer exchanges to happen. Platforms, as technological intermediaries afford specific actions that can result in trust, for example mutual consumer-provider reviews. Use of the same measures may imply suspi
Human-induced impacts are increasing pressure on coastal ecosystems, particularly on benthic ecosystems in high-latitude regions. It has become evident that three of the greatest marine environmental challenges related to anthropogenic activity are warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. The effect of these environmental changes on our uncertain future has created a need to understand the
The cognitive components of subjective well-being can be measured with the Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and the Harmony in life scale (HILS), which both comprise five items each. The aim of this article is to abbreviate these scales and examine their psychometric properties and validity. Three datasets including test-retest data are used (N = 787; N = 860; N = 343). The two first datasets w
Rapid deforestation is a major sustainability challenge, partly as the loss of carbon sinks exacerbates global climate change. In Cambodia, more than 13% of the total land area has been contracted out to foreign and domestic agribusinesses in the form of economic land concessions, causing rapid large-scale land use change and deforestation. Additionally, the distant drivers of local and global env
The haptoglobin phenotypes of Sudanese patients with complicated and uncomplicated falciparum malaria, and those of uninfected randomly selected individuals, were determined by electrophoresis of sera on polyacrylamide gels followed by benzidine staining of the gels. Among 273 malaria patients, the proportions with haptoglobin phenotypes (1-1), (2-1) and (2-2) were 60.8%, 29.7% and 9.5%, respectiv
Bakgrund: Hur vi identifierar oss är starkt kopplat till arbete. Unga vuxna är en känslig grupp när det gäller inträde på arbetsmarknaden. Om de också har psykisk ohälsa blir det ännu svårare och risken för marginalisering ökar. Likväl har arbete visat väsentlig betydelse för en personlig återhämtning. Syftet med studien var att utforska erfarenheter bland unga vuxna med psykisk ohälsa som börjar
