Today, the public of society is considered to obsess of the topic of crime which daily news frequently distributes to the public by proclaiming shockingly headline regarding criminals and deviance. All tough, it seems to be an asymmetry between the public perception of crime and the characteristics of suspects versus the court's judgment of crime and the characteristics of suspects. This asymm
Agricultural production systems are under pressure to contribute to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and resilient food production. This calls for multifunctional strategies, potentially including integrated biomass production in intensively farmed landscapes to generate renewable energy and positive environmental impacts as co-benefits. Despite this, broader implications of large-sc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Informationsteknologin utvecklas i allt snabbare takt. Däremot tycks utvecklingen ske långsammare när det gäller de modeller, metaforer och metoder som används för att beskriva och förstå hur information sprids och hanteras i organisationer, i kommuner och i samhället i stort. Använder vi egentligen IT på ett effektivt sätt i det dagliga arbetet? I den här avhandlingen New information technology is developing faster than the models, metaphors and methods in use for conceptualizing the sharing and managing of information in organizations, in communities and in society in general. The way we utilize information technology today does not seem to succeed in supporting the everyday work practices through which organizations accomplish their work. In this Ph.D. disser
This study examines the relationship between global news narratives and market volatility, focusing on the VIX index as a measure of investor sentiment. By analyzing financial news headlines from 2023, the research investigates whether keyword frequencies related to terms like conflict, recession, and bullish can predict changes in VIX. The study employs multiple regression, time series analysis,
CONTEXT: Uptake of organic farming falls short of stated sustainability targets, particularly in highly productive regions where adoption could mitigate environmental impacts of intensive farming. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the constraints on adoption, but these have not been assessed within an integrative, interdisciplinary framework.OBJECTIVE: The objective was to develop a
Abstract Introduction: The prehospital emergency care has had a rapid progress in Sweden in terms of technology, treatments and personnel education demands. In the County of Skane there is at least one specialized nurse in every ambulance. Possible misuses of the resources by the public have been acknowledged. Aim: To investigate the public’s use, knowledge and expectations of the prehospital emer
Previous research findings suggest that our decisions are affected by the language they are made in. A recent study however indicates that this phenomenon might be related to an unexpected switch of language prior to a decision rather than to the use of a foreign language as such. To investigate this phenomenon further, the decision preferences of 200 participants, fluent in Swedish and English, w
In this paper we construct a hierarchical model for spatial compositional data which is used to reconstruct past land-cover compositions (in terms of coniferous forest, broadleaved forest, and unforested/open land) for five time periods during the past 6000 years over Europe. The model consists of a Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) with Dirichlet observations. A block updated Markov chain Monte
Conditions experienced early in development can affect the future performance of individuals and populations. Demographic theories predict persistent population impacts of past resources, but few studies have experimentally tested such carry-over effects across generations or cohorts. We used bumble bees to test whether resource timing had persistent effects on within-colony dynamics over sequenti
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and biocl
Boreal forests have a large impact on the global greenhouse gas balance and their soils constitute an important carbon (C) reservoir. Mature boreal forests are typically a net CO2 sink, but there are also examples of boreal forests that are persistent CO2 sources. The reasons remain often unknown, presumably due to a lack of understanding of how biotic and abiotic drivers interact to determine the
”Cross-boundary Antifashion - Subversive fashion and subcultural styleicons as a source of inspiration within contemporary mainstream fashion” is a bachelor thesis themed, as the name suggests, on how subversive fashion is diffused to a mainstream context. The main purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the current discourse and earlier studies of subcultural fashion by filling a gap of knowle
A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted on an object using EPD data from suppliers and generic data from authorities. E provided estimates for certain aspects. The analysis comprised three scenarios: best (4600 ton CO2e), worst (7200 ton CO2e), and generic data (7700 ton CO2e). Results show that material manufacturing, especially of concrete and galvanized steel, generates the most CO2e. Elect
In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l
