The water cycle is accelerating in the context of global warming. However, how the multifaceted characteristics of aridity, particularly atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological drying, change and interact with each other are largely unknown. A gap we bridged was discovering the causal relationships underlying the atmosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere nexus from the nonlinear dynamic system perspectiv

Expansive farmlands in Europe and elsewhere are either already abandoned or projected to become abandoned. Afforestation on these abandoned farmlands is highly popular, but it only addresses the climate crisis, not the biodiversity emergency. An alternative to afforestation is rewilding, which would contribute to combating both the biodiversity and climate crises while also facilitating socio-ecol

Plant phenology provides information on the seasonal dynamics of plants, and changes herein are important for understanding the impact of climate change and human management on the biosphere. Land surface phenology is the study of plant phenology across large spatial scales estimated by satellite observations. However, satellite observations (pixels) are often composed of a mixture of vegetation t

The urban surface system is an integral part of the land surface system. And the spatio-temporal processes of urban LUCC (land use/cover change), mainly featured in covered with impervious surfaces, breaking the original physical geographic patterns and processes of the system, affecting material circulation and energy flow among different media or interfaces, and changing cycles and mechanisms of

Årets Arena Idé-rapport om den svenska modellen och organisations-graden hos fack, arbetsgivare och a-kassor innehåller de senaste medlemsuppgifterna för samtliga fackförbund inklusive förbunden utanför LO, TCO och Saco. Det gäller antalet yrkesaktiva medlemmar vid årsskiftet 2024/2025. Även medlemsutvecklingen i PTK och OFR redovisas avseende de medlemmar som räknas till respektive förhandlingsor

Till grund för den här boken ligger föreläsningar som utvecklats efterhand på kurser i svensk grammatik för blivande eller redan verksamma lärare i svenska som andraspråk och på kurser för utländska studenter. Boken vill förmedla kunskaper om några centrala områden av den svenska andraspråksgrammatiken. Den vill också presentera, utveckla och tillämpa de perspektiv på grammatiken och ordförrådet s

Despite the increasing recognition of the critical role that nature-based solutions (NBS) play in urban resilience, decision-makers in many cities across the Global South continue to prioritize grey infrastructure and engineered solutions. This prevailing approach may offer short-term economic advantages but ultimately falls short in ensuring the long-term sustainability and resilience of communit

Abstract in DanishLars-Johan Ekerots bog om svensk som andetsprog foreligger nu i dansk oversættelse og med et noteapparat henvendt til dansksprogede læsere.Bogen har siden udgivelsen i 1995 været et standardværk på læreruddannelser og andre uddannelser i svensk i Sverige og Finland samt på kurser i svensk som fremmedsprog.Bogen har også længe været flittigt brugt af studerende og kommende undervi

Background and AimsAdolescent mental health has declined in recent decades. Few studies have explored whether shifts in interpersonal behaviours– both in-person and online– can help explain this decline. Using data from two Swedish cohorts (2007–2008, 2023–2024), we examined (1) 15-year time trends (2007–2008 vs. 2023–2024) in interpersonal behaviours (victimization, aggression, prosocial behaviou

Denna uppsats ämnade att undersöka relationen mellan de oberoende variablerna öppenhet, extraversion, tro på att lyckas i ett prekognitivt test och den beroende variabeln prekognition, som mättes genom ett forced-choice prekognitivt test vid namn Selfield. Sextio deltagare rekryterades och slutförde totalt 2 381 omgångar. Personlighetsdrag mättes med den svenska versionen av Big Five Inventory (BFThis thesis aimed to explore the relation between openness to experience, extraversion, belief in succeeding in a precognitive task, and precognition, measured with the forced-choice precognitive task the Selfield. Sixty participants were recruited and completed a total of 2,381 trials. Personality traits were measured using the Swedish version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and belief in succeed

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between endorsement of aesthetic ideals and sexual satisfaction. Another aim was to examine the relationship between self-compassion and sexual satisfaction, as well as whether self-compassion affects the relationship between aesthetic ideals and sexual satisfaction. In addition, the study explored potential gender differences in these variables. Th

We study tests of quantum steering in which the trusted party does not have perfect control of their measurements. We report on steering inequalities that remain unaffected when introducing up to a threshold magnitude of measurement imprecision. This phenomenon, which we call an imprecision plateau, thus permits a departure from the standard assumption of idealized measurements without incurring a

While digital play installations for outdoor use are becoming more common, little work has been done on how such technology shapes play in nature-rich environments. We performed a study of children's self-directed play with access to nature as well as digital installations. Our findings show that play with nature materials and digital installations emerged in different ways. Most notably, imaginat

This book explores the practice of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the cities of the Global South. NBS are recognized as a key strategy for achieving sustainable development, and they are being implemented in a variety of sectors such as urban planning, agriculture, forestry, and water management. They offer a wide range of benefits, but there is a gap between research and practice across cities f

Regeneration of Norway spruce, Picea abies, forests is to a large extent depending on the production of seeds from high quality plus trees in orchards. However, the seed yield is variable and unpredictable due to weather, pest insects and diseases. Thus, more knowledge is needed to improve planning of harvest and mitigation of pests and diseases to secure future forest regeneration. In this study,
