Restoring and meandering straightened streams is an important part of the Swedish environmental objective “Live lakes and water courses”. Restoration improves the living conditions for plants and animals that reside in or near the stream, and increases the uptake of excess nutrients leaking from nearby farmland. In this study, I have examined two restored streams; Glomsbäcken and Trollebergssträck

Utifrån handböcker för hållbar dagvattenhantering har information om geometrisk utformning och uppbyggnad av några hållbara dagvatten- anläggningar tagits fram. Tillsammans med bland annat information om effektiv porositet har den totala volymen som dessa anläggningar kan magasinera beräknats med hänsyn till hur ytkrävande de är, kubikmeter dagvatten per kvadratmeter yta. Dessa värden har sedan anBased on manuals for sustainable stormwater management, information about the geometric design and structure of a couple of sustainable storm water facilities was collected. Together with information about the effective porosity and the total volume that these facilities can store it was possible to calculate how space consuming each facility was, cubic meters of rainwater per square meter of surf

This thesis looks into the political discourse surrounding the doping scandal that has developed in Russian sport over the last two years. The paper hypothesizes that because of the importance of nationalism and Russia’s great power status, the Putin regime has, despite publicly stating the opposite, actively contributed to the further politicization of sport by returning to a sport discourse clos

Landscape fragmentation and habitat loss are detrimental to biodiversity, affecting highly specialised species the most. Species distribution models usually require either solid knowledge about the ecological niche of the species or spatial distribution data. Many endangered species have, how- ever, a relatively unexplored ecological niche in combination with a very small area of distribution. A m

In this thesis I examine how young transgender respondents in the survey, " Folkhälsoenkät barn och unga i Skåne 2016 ” value their health and stress. A comparative quantitative analysis of cisgender and transgender respondents demonstrate that the transgender respondents, both binary and non binary, in general value their health less good than the cisgender respondents. A statistic analysis

Instance-level semantic segmentation refers to the task of assigning each pixel in an image an object class and an instance identity label. Due to its complexity, this problem has received little attention by the research community in the past. However, owing to the recent successes of deep learning technology, solving it suddenly seems possible. Starting from an initial pixel-level semantic segme

Since the inception of social media, an increasing number of studies have investigated how social media is used the local government level, particularly in light of its perceived democratic potential. Although studies have mainly focused on examining local governments’ social media communication, some research argue that it is the organisational structures and practices of local governments affect
