Impacts of stressful weather events on forest ecosystems in south Sweden

Coniferous as spruce (more specifically Norway spruce, Picea abies) and deciduous species like European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and oak (Quercus spp.) co exist in south Sweden. In perspective of climate change, species composition of Swedish forests is assumed to change. Observed climate on the period 1950-2010 prove that a general warming trend is occurring in southern Sweden, and that vegetation

Assessment of climate change impacts on cork oak in western Mediterranean regions : a comparative analysis of extreme indices

Mediterranean regions have a growing number of extreme weather events due to rapid change of climate. Cork oak, which is located in the western Mediterranean area, has become a very valuable resource within the western Mediterranean forests. Therefore, assessment of the impacts of climate extremes upon cork oak can help us produce better forest management practices for coping with future climate c

Social Economy-Based Microenterprise as an Alternative Community Development Model- a Case Study in Rural Peru

This thesis examines the potential of a social economy-based microenterprise model as a new community development tool in the special context of indigenous Quechua communities in rural Peru where their socio-economic realities are substantially different from the modern society. Although, the social economy-based development policies are widely discussed in many Latin American countries, only litt

Comparison of vegetation indices to determine their accuracy in predicting spring phenology of Swedish ecosystems

Phenological observations of terrestrial ecosystems are useful in monitoring the changes in the local climate due to their relatively long time series and high temporal resolution. However performing field based phenological observations can be a labour intensive and time consuming process. Using satellite-based remotely sensed data can make the process much more efficient. Although the satellites

Comparison and validation of five land cover products over the African continent

Scientific abstract: As the increasing attentions drawn to the environment and climate change issue, the profound impact on the earth system made known to nearly every corner of the world. A great variety of global protocols and conventions has been established aiming to reduce global environmental risks and maintain a healthy earth system. In order to monitor, supervise these protocols and conven

Attachment organization and perception of constraining and enabling factors in long distance relationships: A first step towards constructing an instrument to measure experiences of living in a long distance relationship

Living in long distance relationships (LDRs) has become a common phenomenon worldwide. LDR couples continously move in and out of each other's co-presence, and research has shown that the transitions between togetherness and separateness give rise to factors experienced as both constraining and enabling. The present study extends LDR-research done by Sahlstein (2004) by taking attachment organ

Vegetation indices, FAPAR and spatial seasonality analysis of crops in southern Sweden

Remote sensing is an extensively used technique in ecosystem monitoring or analyzing the carbon balance on the earth surface. The most dominant part of south west Skåne is agricultural land and MODIS derived Vegetation Indexes (VIs) are able to investigate the seasonality of crop fields. The values of VIs represent the different stages of spring greening up of crops and it shows the non-linear and

United States extraterritorial application of economic sanctions and the new international sanctions against Iran

Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to produce a change in the political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of a state whilst targeted sanctions are directed at a state’s individuals. This thesis discusses the application of economic sanctions against Iran by the UN, the EU and the United States. Econ

The Abolition of the Nautical Fault Exemption: To Be or Not To Be

Historically, the nautical fault exception was justified on the basis that shipowners lacked the ways to control their ships by communication on long voyages and so masters had to act in their own judgement. Modern communications have defeated this underlying rationale but shipowners still want to claim the benefit of the exception. As a matter of statutory regulation, the exception traces back to

En studie av möjligheten att öka den värmelagrande förmågan hos betong

Tunga byggnadsmaterial som betong har hög värmekapacitet och bidrar till att ge byggnader en termisk tröghet. Byggnadernas temperatur ändras inte så snabbt när utetemperaturen förändras eftersom betong kan innehålla stora mängder lagrad värme. Detta kan ofta ge positiva effekter på energiförbrukning, termisk komfort och effektbehov. I denna studie undersöktes möjligheten att ytterligare förbättra

Key issues for companies entering the Chinese WEEE recycling industry

Problem: The Chinese WEEE recycling market is today operated mostly by the informal sector.
