Conventional agriculture, dominated by annual crops, has revolutionised food production but also introduced significant environmental and social challenges. Perennial crops offer a promising alternative, with potential benefits for ecosystem services, agricultural sustainability, and food security. Although the environmental benefits of perennial crops, such as the intermediate wheat grass Kernza
The main focus of this case study was to assess ecological succession and restoration success after the removal of Rosa rugosa. Plant species composition and moss presence, bare ground cover, and biodiversity indices were analysed to identify patterns and differences within and between the restored and an invaded adjacent area. The complete absence of R. rugosa in restored plots confirms the effec

Background: Diversion—patients who sell or share their medication—is a hotly debated but rela-tively unresearched phenomenon. We have investigated the prevalence of self-reported diversion ofmethadone and buprenorphine at OST programs in Sweden. We have also examined if demographic,treatment, and social factors can be associated with an increased risk of diversion. Methods: Structured interviews w
Background: Knowledge sharing within an organization is one of the main focuses of the knowledge management research field. In today’s globally dispersed business units, and multinational corporations (MNCs), information and communication technology (ICT) tools play an essential role in facilitating knowledge sharing. Previous research has argued the vital role informal contexts as well as physica
While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national
The increasing demands on the vehicle market regarding cost effectiveness, efficient production and innovative solutions create an unforgiving environment for the suppliers. Haldex has developed Haldex Way, a management and improvement framework focused on lean production to meet these demands. Although lean methodologies are utilized at Haldex, Haldex Way has currently issues with consistency and
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturkatastrofer är något som Sverige är relativt förskonat från. Massrörelser, alltså markrörelser i jordtäcke eller berg såsom lerskred, slamströmmar och bergras, är däremot relativt vanligt förekommande runt om i landet. Det är dessutom så att frekvensen av den här typen av fenomen förväntas öka i Sverige till följd av framtida klimatförändringar. De områdenRecent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence. In this study, the
Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att utreda om det med härledning till EU-rätten och EUD:s rättspraxis kan utrönas en gränsdragning för när en privatperson till-handahåller tjänster kan anses göra detta i egenskap av en beskattningsbar person och följaktligen faller transaktionen under mervärdesskatterättens tillämpnings-område. Utredningens analytiska utgångspunkt utgår från det ekonomiska sam-liThis essay's main purpose is to examine when a private individual, who provides services, can be considered to do this as a taxable person and therefore falls under the scope of VAT. This survey's analytical starting point is based on the economic concept collaborative consumption. The term describes an economic model which is based on the coordination of individuals' consumption needs
The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. The Outlet remains open all year because of its location in the lee of an offshore breakwater. When the Maha Oya river mou

55 m.ö.h. på Balsbergets södra sluttning finner man en av Sydsveriges största grottor, Balsbergsgrottan. Ungefär 250 meter vindlande gångar grenar sig ut från två större salar. Grottan har en rik historia, både ur ett geologiskt och ett funktionalistiskt perspektiv. De sedimentära bergarterna som bildades för 100 miljoner års sedan lade grunden till, att det efter förra istiden kunde bildas en gro55 meters above sea level on the southern slope of Balsberget you can find one of southern Sweden's largest caves, the Balsberg cave. Approximately 250 meters winding paths branch out from two large halls. The cave has a rich history, both from a geological and a functional perspective. The sedimentary rocks, formed 100 million years ago, laid the foundations for the advent of a cave here afte
Material contributes to a large share of construction costs and as prices are increasing companies must seek creative solutions and find new approaches in order to find ways of saving money. As a part of a strategic development Peab, one of Sweden’s leading construction- and contractor companies, is making an effort to streamline their purchasing system using the purchasing tool PIA, which digital
Flyktiga organiska föreningar som släpps ut från växter (BVOC- Biogenic volatile organic compounds) kan ha en stor påverkan på atmosfärisk kemi genom reaktioner som leder till ökad eller minskad ozonproduktion, och genom att de kan vara ett förstadium till aerosoler. De vanligaste flyktiga organiska föreningarna är isopren (2-metyl, 1,3-butadien) och dess derivat, terpener och terpenoider (isoprenBiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) can have a large affect on atmospheric chemistry by the production or degradation of ozone and by acting as precursors to secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The most common BVOCs are isoprene and its derivatives, terpenes and terpenoids (isoprenoids). These are used by the plant in cell membranes and as steroids, but are also a means of communication and
The granite massif in the Tjärnesjö area, southwestern Sweden, was deformed and metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions in late Sveconorwegian time. The intrusive is dominated by a coarse-grained, megacrystic orthoclase granite. Pb-Pb evaporation datings on single zircons from the granite yield an age of ca. 1.36 Ga, interpreted as the intrusion age. A similar age was obtained on zircons f
Tidigare studier har dokumenterat ett flertal fossila meteoriter samt höga koncentrationer av utomjordisk kromit (ett järn-kromoxidmineral) i cirka 467 miljoner år gamla, mellanordoviciska sedimentlager. Fynden antas vara resultaten av ett tillfälligt förhöjt inflöde av meteoritiskt material, efter uppbrytningen av en kropp i asteroidbältet – de så kallade L-kondriternas föräldrakropp – för omkriNumerous fossil meteorites and high concentrations of sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (EC) grains with typical ordinary chondritic composition have previously been documented from 467±1.6 Ma Ma lower Kundan (Middle Ordovician) strata. These finds most likely reflect a temporarily enhanced influx of ordinary chon- dritic matter, following the disruption of the L chondrite parent body i
Den konservativa byggbranschen är i utvecklingsfas då olika metoder effektiviseras. Digitaliseringen har kommit längre i utvecklingen jämfört med människan, ändå nyttjas inte de i den stora omfattningen i det vardagliga arbetet med dess utvecklade potential. I denna studie undersöks hur ekonomiskt och tidsgynnsamt det är med att tillämpa de digitala verktygen vid rapporteringen av avvikelser vid e
När syndafloden kommer När havsnivån stiger och nederbörden ökar riskerar upp till 29 utav Lunds stifts ca 500 kyrkobyggnader att drabbas av översvämningar. Detta betyder att behovet av skydd mot översvämningar troligtvis kommer öka för dessa miljöer i framtiden. Förekomsten av översvämningar förväntas öka till följd av klimatförändringen. Utav de ca 500 kyrkobyggnaderna i Lunds stift kan upp t
