Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax. In this article, we study the effects of a carbon tax in agriculture on GHG emissions by simulating five polReducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets.

This chapter presents an overview of eye tracking combined with tools for capturing digital writing (foremost keystroke logging). This includes a general rationale of why eye tracking is relevant for research on writing processes, how the technique works, and pros and cons of different eye trackers and methodological designs. The chapter describes previous L1 and L2 writing studies which have used

The Baltic Sea coast is a primary recreation and tourism space for both the Swedish population and incoming tourists, not least from neighbouring countries. Depending on the geographical preconditions, activities in the littoral zone comprise both typical beach activities and boating, and bohemian lifestyle. Second homes are a common form of accommodation, attracting Swedes to the shore during sum

The durability of wood depends on its in-use environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects associated with macro climate and detail design as well as their interdependence. A numerical moisture model and two different decay prediction models were utilized for assessing the decay risk of a horizontal member and a joint exposed at 300 sites scattered across Europe. In g

Background Following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) there is a risk for restenosis (reCoA), particularly in the first year of life. It was the aim of this study to identify reCoA risk factors by analyzing postoperative pre-discharge echocardiograms. Methods Retrospective analysis of echocardiograms of children born operated for CoA in Sweden 2011-2017. Results 253 children were includ

This paper evaluates the history and cycling accessibility of Nova, a shopping centre established in Lund, Sweden, in 2002. The current situation was also analysed through observation and a literature review. Moreover, the study conducted a closer analysis of the history and role of the municipality based on further literature study and interviews with officials.

Popular Abstract in English The Andean region and the Amazon Basin of South America have been identified as regions of origin and the domestication of many plants. Some of the food crops from these regions such as potato and cassava, have gained global import¬ance, while the majority of food crops are hardly know outside their present area of cultivation. In the first part of this study, underutiBoth the nutritional and functional properties of starch are directly influenced by the molecular structure of its polymers: amylose and amylopectin. It is therefore important to have reproducible methods for quantifying the molecular size. In the first part of the thesis, the composition, crystallinity, degree of branching, morphological, thermal and pasting properties, and susceptibility of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish By building a strong brand that is favourably perceived by target customers, a firm can establish a competitive advantage that enables greater revenues and profitability. This is at least what the branding literature always has assumed, and something few marketing and brand managers seem to disagree with.

In the last decade, the idea of total defence – a whole-of-society approach integrating civilian and military capabilities – has gained renewed prominence in Europe, including within the European Union (EU). Concurrently, the concept of strategic autonomy – the EU’s ability to act independently – has emerged as a central feature in its security policy, driving ambitions for ‘a quantum leap forward

This study examined the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and life satisfaction among expatriates residing in European countries, with a particular focus on the challenges of social isolation and cultural adaptation. It hypothesized that expatriates with secure attachment styles were more likely to report higher levels of life satisfaction compared to those with avoidant or anxious

This study investigates how feminist health discourse is collaboratively produced on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media platform known for its female-dominated user base and stringent censorship environment. Focusing on the account Pause in Dialogue, the thesis explores how stigmatized topics such as menstruation, sexual health, and bodily discomfort are reframed through multimodal strategies and

Electric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement. While previous research argues that electrification challenges existing procurement practices and strategies, the aim of the paper is to contribute new knowledge on the role of public procurement in the transition to electric buses andElectric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement.

Background: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents. Despite this, there is limited research on what kind of treatment they need. Existing studies are mostly quantitative and offer limited insight into adolescents' lived experiences.Aim: The aim of this qualitative study is to explore how adolescent patientsBackground: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents.

This study examines how public transport passengers experience and use travel time and under what conditions they are particularly concerned about shorter travel time. Using a survey of Swedish public transport users and a follow-up focus group, we compare current patterns with a similar 2009 study. Findings indicate a slight decline in perceived value of travel time, coinciding with a marked redu

Structural components such as those used in gas turbines for energy conversion applications, are subjected to high loads at elevated temperatures. In order to ensure that the components survive under these conditions for a sufficiently long time, it is imperative to select materials with good high temperature properties like strength and corrosion resistance. Such materials are usually alloys with
