Early Holocene dune field development in Dalarna, central Sweden : A geomorphological and geophysical case study
Bonäsheden, Sweden's largest continuous dune field, situated in the county of Dalarna, central Sweden, has been investigated using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) remote sensing, ground penetrating radar as well as by field observations and luminescence dating. The use of LiDAR in conjunction with geographic information system (GIS) software proved to be efficient in mapping the inactive dune

Circulating cadmium concentration and risk of aortic aneurysms : A nested case-control study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort
Background and aims Diet and smoking expose the general population to cadmium (Cd), which is a toxic metal that accumulates in the arterial wall. In experimental studies, Cd causes reductions in proliferation of smooth muscle cells and cellular synthesis of procollagen. The aim of this study was to examine whether blood Cd levels, a valid measure of Cd exposure, are associated with increased risk

Home care services for sick children : Healthcare professionals' conceptions of challenges and facilitators
Aims and objectives: To explore healthcare professionals' conceptions of caring for sick children in home care services. Background: Families often prefer home care to hospital care, and the number of home care services for children is increasing. Caring for children at home has been recognised as challenging for healthcare professionals in home care services used to providing care predominately f
Landscape-scale interactions of spatial and temporal cropland heterogeneity drive biological control of cereal aphids
Agricultural landscapes are characterised by dynamic crop mosaics changing in composition and configuration over space and time. Although semi-natural habitat has been often shown to contribute to pest biological control, the effects of increasing landscape heterogeneity with cropland have been disregarded. Here, we examine how cereal aphids, their enemies and biological control are affected by th
Analysis of slab heating characteristics in a reheating furnace
For a reheating furnace, an analysis of thermal efficiency depends on precise investigations of the combustion and flow characteristics inside a furnace. Especially, the flow field of the hot gas has significant influence on heating slabs. The slabs are heated up to the temperature over 1500. K, and then they are transported to the rolling mill. The heating efficiency is affected by many factors,
Inside the black box: EU policy officers’ perspectives on transport and climate change mitigation
Transport is a significant and growing contributor to climate change. To stay within ‘safe’ global warming guardrails requires substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. This represents a global political consensus, but there is evidence that current legislation in the transport sector is not significant enough to achieve medium- and longer-term reduction goals. In focusing on the European Unio
Urban transport justice
Many cities in the world seek to establish more sustainable urban transport systems with a view to reduce accidents, congestion, air and noise pollution, and to improve social interactions, liveability and amenity values. Against this background, this paper frames urban transportation as an issue of justice: contemporary transport systems are characterized by injustice, as they tend to favour and
Variation in growth drives the duration of parental care : A test of Ydenberg’s model
The duration of parental care in animals varies widely, from none to lifelong. Such variation is typically thought to represent a trade-off between growth and safety. Seabirds show wide variation in the age at which offspring leave the nest, making them ideal to test the idea that a trade-off between high energy gain at sea and high safety at the nest drives variation in departure age (Ydenberg’s
A report on the Paris Climate Change Agreement and its implications for tourism : Why we will always have Paris
Sustained international diplomatic efforts culminated in the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement by 196 countries in December 2015. This paper provides an overview of the key provisions of the agreement that are most relevant to the tourism sector: much strengthened and world-wide participation in greenhouse gas emission reduction ambitions, an enduring framework for increased ambitions over ti
