Hur stor effekt har den globala uppvärmningen på de Arktiska isarna? Hur stor del av isarna skulle smälta om temperaturerna i Arktis steg med en grad? Med hjälp av Positive Degree Day metoden kan vi svar på dessa frågor. Tänk dig en framtid där havsnivåerna har höjts med flera meter. Om den arktiska isen smälter är detta en framtid vi med största säkerhet kan komma att mötas av.

In this thesis snow and ice ablation is related to 2m-temperature through the positive degree day method. The positive degree day method takes into account the ablation rate of snow and ice and the number of measurements with temperature above freezing level in order

Gas cooling is a technique used within the fire service to reduce the risks of the hot gaseous layer and create a better visibility. It is achieved by applying water into the gaseous layer. Successfully performing or implementing this technique is something that has not yet been accomplished in every brigade. This work has been focused on different parameters that affect gas cooling and is studie

The growth in Scania is expected to increase by developing Scania’s polycentric structure and create regional expansion. This regional expansion will be developed partly by investments in infrastructure, which are expected to generate better accessibility. The aim of this essay is to investigate a specific train investment in north-eastern Scania, Pågatåg Nordost, and its impacts on development an

Våldsförbudet är en av folkrättens mest fundamentala regleringar och förbjuder allt mellanstatligt våld. Ett av undantagen till våldsförbudet är självförsvarsrätten som ger stater som blir utsatta för ett väpnat angrepp en rätt till självförsvar. En mycket omdebatterad fråga inom folkrätten är om självförsvarsrätten inte bara skall gälla mot en annan stat, utan även mot icke-statliga aktörer. En dOne of the most fundamental regulations in international law is the prohibition on the use of force, which forbids all violence between states. The right to self-defence is one of the exceptions to the prohibition and gives states that have been victims of an armed attack a right to self-defence. A much-debated question within international law is if the right to self-defence should be applicable

The expansion of Chinese media’s global influence has attracted many attentions around the world. When scholars focus on describing how the state-owned media extend beyond borders to reach audience around the globe, the long-existed Chinese diasporic media overseas are lack of discussion. How have they performed and shaped the imagination in-between China, host societies and transnational space? I

Omkring 20 procent av alla människor världen över (1,5 miljarder) har inte ett officiellt, juridiskt dokument som bevis på sin identitet. Detta påverkar till exempel deras rösträtt, att öppna ett bankkonto, få formell anställning eller söka juridisk ersättning. Deras brist på bevis på juridisk existens exkluderar dem alltså från att delta på samtliga nivåer i samhället. Denna omfattande problematiAround 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno

Forum för ofrivilligt celibata män, incels, har fått mycket uppmärksamhet från den samhällsvetenskapliga forskningen på grund av dess våldsbejakande och hatiska natur. Detta fokus ifrågasätts i denna studie då det bidrar till att fenomenet ofrivilligt celibata ofta ses som en manlig företeelse, vilket osynliggör ofrivilligt celibata kvinnors, femcels, uteslutning ur romantik i dagens samhälle. I d

Näringslivet kan dra nytta av öppna data på flera olika sätt men man måste vara medvetna om de hinder som finns på i det snabbt växande landskapet av öppna data i Sverige.Open data is broadly expected to generate innovation and economic value for both the public and private sector. Though the diffusion of open data has kept a fast pace, knowledge of visualisation and points of access of open data remains low. Moreover, literature of the private-sector application of open data is still scarce. The first objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge about the

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Himalayas glaciärer både växer och blir mindre som ett svar på klimatförändringarna. Den dominerande trenden är att ismassor minskar, speciellt för mindre glaciärer. Allt eftersom glaciärer drar sig tillbaka, ändras hydrologin och vattentillgängligheten, både uppströms och nedströms inom dräneringsområdet. Denna förändring är mest tydlig på hög altitud där jordbHimalayan glaciers are both growing and shrinking as a response to global climate change. The major trend is a loss of ice sheets, especially among the smaller glaciers. As glaciers retreat there is a change in hydrology and seasonal water availability both upstream and downstream of the river basins. This is most apparent in high altitude and glacierfed areas where meltwater is the main (sometime

As China’s Guangdong Province has been in the forefront of Chinese growth, and it is one of the biggest contributions to Chinese economy, this paper compares the development process of industrial structure between Mainland China Guangdong province and one of Asian four tigers’ Taiwan. This paper is aim to see if the structure components are similar or difference during the growth process. Taking a

The aim was to study whether stimuli that cannot be detected consciously might nevertheless influence subject’s higher cognitive functions, and whether such an effect differs in individuals with different levels of state-trait anxiety, social desirability and “Repressor”. Participants (N = 56) listened to a classical piece of music in which subliminal messages were embedded. These messages could b

Agriculture Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) has been government development strategy since 1990s; and its objective was to develop a market oriented modernized agriculture sector, with the development of the industry to follow this as a next development stage using the raw material from agriculture. The strategies for the agriculture development have focussed on extension and research ser

Low-energy buildings are nowadays often used in common speech, for selling or promotion – everything has to be ”low energy”. But how do you know if your house is a low energy building? And how do the manufacturers of the building components know? Is there an official definition, what technical criteria do these buildings have to fulfill? The growing of low-energy buildings causes a demand of compl

Commercially available fast-response analysers for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have recently become more sensitive, more robust and easier to operate. This has made their application for long-Term flux measurements with the eddy-covariance method more feasible. Unlike for carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O), there have so far been no guidelines on how to optimise and standardise

Disturbances are believed to be one of the main factors influencing variations in community diversity and functioning. Here we investigated if exposure to a pH press disturbance affected the composition and functional performance of a bacterial community and its resistance, recovery and resilience to a second press disturbance (salt addition). Lake bacterial assemblages were initially exposed to r

The concern of this paper is with the mediatisation of tourism cities through fast circulating narratives on digital platforms in an era characterised as post-truth involving the spread of fake news and disinformation. Hence far, there is scarce knowledge on how misleading information and false rumours concerning terrorism affect the image of tourism cities. In addition, extant research studies pr

Faster bacterial biomass turnover is expected in water compared to soil, which would result in more rapid community adaption to changing environmental conditions, including temperature. Bacterial community adaptation for growth is therefore predicted to have larger seasonal amplitudes in lakes than in soil. To test this prediction, we compared the seasonal variation in temperature adaptation of ba
