Land use has a major influence on the nutrient balance in a region. Land use changes such as the restoration of peatlands can therefore have an impact on it. In this analysis, nutrient exports in the Baltic Sea basin and in some regions of the North Sea basin were estimated under different future scenarios including scenarios that promote land use changes such as peatland restoration through CO2 p
Hybridization may generate novel trait values and combinations, enabling hybrid lineages to exploit new niches. While phenotypic differences among hybrids and parents are well characterized, it is less well understood if behaviors are likely to be intermediate, mosaic, or transgressive, outside the parental ranges of values. To address how behavioral traits evolve in hybrid lineages, we use the ho
This study unravels discursive formulations of lobbying and transparency in the aftermath of Qatargate to better understand the relationship between lobbyists, corruption scandals, and transparency frameworks in the European Union. Using Foucault’s interpretive analytics operationalized by CDA and semi-structured interviews with Public Affairs practitioners and MEPs in Brussels, this inquiry argue
Rosé wine popularity is mostly due to its pink colour which results from grape pigments. Varying from a pale salmon to a deeper pink colour, its stability and intensity are not as good as the those of red wines, it’s therefore crucial to improve them. Yeasts, responsible for alcoholic fermentation, have been shown to influence wine colour, in particular when nonSaccharomyces (NS) yeasts are inocul
In the last ten years labor economists have become increasingly interested in convex earnings structures in the labor market and their impact on the gender pay gap, an approach spearheaded by Claudia Goldin in her 2014 Presidential Address to the American Economic Association. The study has seen widespread acclaim, but very little replication. This study replicates parts of Claudia Goldin’s work,
In 2022, the Government of Lithuania approved the new Crisis Management and Civil Safety law to establish the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC). This thesis was written during the initial phase of the NCMC creation process. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the Lithuanian governance capacity and legitimacy within the emergency and crisis management (CM) system and investigate the foc
Denna studie presenterar resultaten från den första detaljerade strukturanalysen av glaciotektoniska strukturer på de norra klippexponeringarna på Ven tillsammans med den första sammanhängande tolkningen av öns glaciotektoniska utveckling. Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps
The action of a video game Atomic Heart takes place in an alternate Soviet world that combines historical and futuristic elements. This unusual setting provides an intriguing research niche for studying how games as digital media interact with collective memory and cultural perception of the post-Soviet generation. This study examines how the post-Soviet generation reflects on the game’s depiction
I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall. Despite extensive research in this area, an apparent gap was identified within memory research, as no prior meta-analysis has addressed the relationship between confidence and accuracy in the context of fre
This thesis explores the intersection of food technology, consumer behavior, and food studies within the context of food product innovation and development, grounded in traditional food knowledge. The focus is on developing tempeh products using lupin and yellow peas—two legumes well-suited to the Swedish climate. The product development process aimed to enhance the protein content and sensory qua
This paper investigates the impact of cultural differences, specifically time and risk preferences, on cross-country variations in higher education attainment. Employing individual-level data on educational attainment and migration background from the European Social Survey and aggregate-level measures of preferences from the Global Preferences Study, I investigate the relationship between nationa
The dynamics of China’s complex policy process, shaped by the decentralization reforms of the 1980s, remain the subject of much discussion. As China spent three years adhering to its eradication strategy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that the relevant theories from the past need to be updated. The purpose of this study was to understand how irrational decisions were made and why u
This master thesis analyses the future electricity mix in Sweden with a focus on 2035, 2045, and 2050. The study is done with regards to reaching the climate goals in Sweden, and to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, and thereafter have negative emissions. The thesis analyses political, economical, social, and technological aspects in a PEST-analyse for the power sources in the curre
Chemical absorption of acidic gases, such as CO2, using amines, is a mature technique within Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and rely on the equilibrium reaction for both absorption and desorption. Carbon Capture and Storage systems are suggested as viable key processes to reduce anthropogenic carbon in the atmosphere. However, the technique is divided into two different approaches: pre-combustio
Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi
The sociotechnical systems that present societies operate within fail to address sustainability which contributes to the exacerbation of environmental, societal, and economic injustices. Sustainable innovations are considered a potential solution pathway. Nevertheless, to have large scale impact, they need to commercialize successfully. Scholars agree that sustainable business models are essential
Climate change and the sustainability challenges of the 21st century require the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors. Accordingly, political objectives urge for a shift from road to rail in logistics. This drives innovation, increased efficiency, and customer friendliness in the rail industry. These advancements are strongly needed as investments have been neglected in the past an
In November 2018, the Danish government passed a bill that introduced the category ‘severe ghetto’ to the law on non-profit housing. Moreover, the bill prescribes extraordinary policy measures in the targeted areas in order to encourage urban regeneration. The non-profit housing associations in ‘severe ghettos’ are forced to reduce the share of non-profit housing stock to 40% through relabelling,
Connecting science to political agenda-setting is essential for a sustainable transition and acceptable politics. This task is complicated by phenomena like post-truth, for which facts are a non-issue. However, post-truth is not the only issue. The practice of political spin, in which the significance of facts is reconstructed according to specific interests poses another threat to scientific cred
The master thesis was done at QPharma to investigate a processing problem during production of tablets, where an excessive volume expansion during dry mixing of three ingredients occurred from time to time. A volume expansion (dilation) is needed for particles, within a powder, to become mixed with other particles. However, the extent of the dilation is dependent on intermolecular forces between p
