Poland, as many other countries, has ambitions to increase the use of renewable energy sources. In this paper, we review the current status of bioenergy in Poland and make a critical assessment of the prospects for increasing the share of bioenergy in energy supply, including policy implications. Bioenergy use was about 4% (165PJ) of primary energy use (3900PJ) and 95% of renewable energy use (174
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia globally and is characterized by uncoordinated atrial activation and ineffective atrial contraction. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an impaired quality of life and an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control of cardiac function are a known pathophysiological mechanism in

This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale
The Covid-19 virus was first discovered in China in December of 2019 and in February of 2020, the Covid-19 virus began to spread worldwide, which caused the World Health Organization (WHO) to classify the virus as a pandemic. Since then previous studies have shown an increase in interest in outdoor life, which has led to an increase in the number of visitors in popular nature areas. Furthermore, t
I slutet av 2019 presenterade Kommissionen meddelandet om den gröna given – EU:s nya tillväxtstrategi för att nå klimatneutralitet 2050. Den nya strategin fick till följd att Kommissionen tog initiativ till en revision av TEN-E. Ett av TEN-E:s syften är att underlätta genomförandet av PCI vilka antas enligt särskilda urvalskriterier i artikel 4 TEN-E. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur dessa urvalIn 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two

Arid and semiarid Middle Eastern countries generally, and Syria in particular, face serious water shortage problems and challenges with water sustainability. Climate change, population growth, and economic development play a major role in decreasing available water resources per capita. This, in turn, has great impact on domestic, agricultural, and industrial water use. In this study, marginal and
Surrogatmoderskap innebär att en kvinna blir gravid med den uttalade avsikten att efter födseln inte behålla barnet utan överlämna det till ett par eller annan person. Förfarandet används i främre utsträckning idag för att ofrivilligt barnlösa ska få barn. I denna uppsats undersöks surrogatmoderskap, men även assisterad be-fruktning, samt hur föräldraskap definieras eftersom det ofta uppstår probSurrogacy means that a woman becomes pregnant with the express intention of not keeping the child after birth but handing it over to a couple or another person. The procedure is used to a greater extent today to enable involuntarily childless people to have children. This essay examines surrogacy, but also assisted fertilization, and how parenthood is defined, since problems often arise with paren
Shabestar basin in the East Azerbaijan province, Northwest Iran, where irrigation is the main groundwater consumer, has experienced large-scale subsidence and groundwater deletion, which poses a threat to the local agricultural activities, economic development, and food security. With the emergency of mitigating the risk, satisfying future demand for groundwater, and improving resilience consideri
Uppsatsen utreder miljöorganisationers klagorätt enligt svensk rätt, med sär-skilt fokus på rättsutvecklingen efter 2020 och dess koppling till UNECE:s konvention om tillgång till information, allmänhetens deltagande i beslutspro-cesser och tillgång till rättslig prövning i miljöfrågor (Århuskonventionen). Syftet är att visa hur svenska domstolar, i ljuset av internationell rätt, har tolkat och utThis thesis examines the right of environmental non-governmental organiza-tions (ENGOs) to appeal under Swedish law, with a particular focus on legal developments after 2020 and their connection to the Aarhus Convention. The goal is to demonstrate how Swedish courts have interpreted and expanded the possibility for ENGOs to appeal decisions under the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) and the En
Following the impressive development of bulk lead-based perovskite photovoltaics, the “perovskite fever” did not spare nanochemistry. In just a few years, colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have conquered researchers worldwide with their easy synthesis and color-pure photoluminescence. These nanomaterials promise cheap solution-processed lasers, scintillators, and light-emi
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) achieve very high accuracy in segmenting various anatomical structures in medical images but often suffer from relatively poor generalizability. Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS), while less accurate than DCNN in many applications, tends to generalize well to unseen datasets with different characteristics from the training dataset. Several groups have attempt
Radon (222Rn) gas is the largest source of public exposure to naturally occurring radioactivity and the identification of radon priority areas is required by the Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom. Radon is also used as a tracer to improve atmospheric transport models and to indirectly estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes using the Radon Tracer Method (RTM). This method is based on the correlation
Land-use change is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Through intensification of land-use, the agricultural landscape has become more homogenous and a result, many species associated with traditional farmland or other semi-natural open habitats have declined. To be able to improve biodiversity conservation we need to be able to track components of biodiversity and understand how they res
Non-technical summary Agriculture provides many benefits to people, such as producing food and creating jobs in rural areas, but it can also have negative impacts on the environment. We analysed existing monitoring indicators for the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to evaluate whether the CAP is effectively achieving multiple social and environmental goals. We found that the curr
Boreal forests and peatlands are globally significant carbon stores but they are threatened by rising air temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes and the frequency of natural disturbances. Predicting how the boreal biome will respond to climate change depends on being able to accurately model and upscale the greenhouse gas fluxes between these ecosystems and the atmosphere. This thesis f
Background:Prenatal alcohol exposure represents a substantial public health concern as it may lead to detrimental outcomes, including pregnancy complications and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Although UK national guidance recommends abstaining from alcohol if pregnant or planning a pregnancy, evidence suggests that confusion remains on this topic among members of the public, and little is known
