In the automotive industry, it is common that the customers provide the suppliers with the necessary packing material needed for delivery of the goods. The reason for this is that it makes the handling and unpacking of incoming goods at the customer easy, but it also makes sure that the quality of the packing material is high, and that the transportation damages of the goods are minimised. It shou

Organized crime in Sweden has increased despite the Government’s 34-point action program against gang crime. Previous studies show that schools have an important role in preventing young people from entering the criminal life. But there are no Swedish studies that examine teachers’ implementation of crime prevention measures and therefore, there seems to be a need to investigate this. The research

Denna uppsats behandlar idrottskvinnor i nyhetssändningar i svensk respektive italiensk public service-tv. Undersökningen redogör för hur kvinnliga idrottare skildras i jämförelse med manliga i nyhetssändningarna som granskats. För att skapa en internationell uppfattning vad gäller representationen av damidrotten i tv valdes en komparativ undersökning mellan Italiens och Sveriges public service-ka

Boreal forests mitigate climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. Recent declines in the boreal carbon sink and tree growth suggest that this mitigating influence is weakening, yet the underlying drivers remain unresolved. Increasing drought frequency is one likely driver. Yet most studies have focused on managed forests, overlooking the significant but shrinking areas of old-growth fores

For many years, questions about the future have been marginalised within the social sciences: asking how we might live in a post-fossil society, or what are the key decisions and events that could take us there, has been seen as outside of the disciplinary scope. In this paper – which takes as its point of departure the ‘speculative turn’ that is increasingly inspiring a range of works, from fores

China plans expanding 49.5 million hectares of new forests by 2050 to strengthen carbon sequestration. However, estimates of the carbon benefits from this expansion rarely consider the effect of 'forest edge', where tree mortality increases under intensified stress from wind, drought, pests, and fire. Here we show that proximity to forest edges substantially reduces biomass carbon storage, and dev

Forest Canopy Height (FCH) is one of the key variables for understanding forest structure distribution and growth. Remotely sensed data such as the NASA Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) ATL08 provides accurate FCH measurements; however, its point-based nature limits spatial continuity. This study addresses the challenge by generating a continuous FCH map over the West Usambara

Wood density is a crucial anatomical trait influencing forest carbon storage. However, dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) typically assume a fixed species-level wood density, neglecting environment-driven variability. In this proof-of-concept study, we explore the potential impact of dynamic wood density on tree- and forest-level carbon storage by integrating a simple temperature-response fu

Climate change and escalating human pressures erode the resilience of global forests, putting biodiversity, carbon storage, and societal well-being at risk. Fragmented, single-sector responses cannot keep pace with the speed or complexity of these threats. By synthesizing insights from resilience theory and global practices across ecological, social, and institutional dimensions, we propose 10 mut
