Soils are extremely rich in biodiversity, and soil organisms play pivotal roles in supporting terrestrial life, but the role that individual plants and plant communities play in influencing the diversity and functioning of soil food webs remains highly debated. Plants, as primary producers and providers of resources to the soil food web, are of vital importance for the composition, structure, and
Winter transportation is equally important as the summer transportation, or even more meaningful for countries, which are affected by the winter conditions. In this perspective, the focus of this paper is in the Baltic Sea, which is a sea, where some of its areas are frozen every year. During winter times, vessels may face heavy ice conditions and extreme weathers when navigating through ice fiel

The society has always tried to get rid of those who do not "fit in". They doesn't follow the normal behaviour and rules and have to be "dismissed". The community has developed different kinds of institutional care for individuals with dysfunctional behaviour. Those institutions are mental hospitals and prisons. Many of these institutions put the individuals in an extreme s
Many sexual crime matters are in a difficult position when it comes to proof, where it's word against word between the parties. However, the legislation states that it's the offender's actions that are to be in focus for the judicial judgement, but often the focus is on the woman, whether she said no and how she acted in that particular situation (Sutorius & Kaldal, 2003). The pur
The purpose of this study was to examine how commitment to a cause on a local basis had developed in four smaller groups during one decade. In 1996 I interviewed representatives in Åsele, Borrby, Hasslarp and Tving about their commitment and citizen initiative. Now, ten years later, I followed it up by interviewing them again. I wanted to know if the groups/associations still existed, if they had
Problem definition: In the Swedish construction projects, there is a role "logistics manager" whose assignment is to manage the logistics at the production site.

Since Sweden on January 1th 1995 became one of the Member States in the European Union, the co-operation in some areas has become a part of Swedish national law. One of these areas is the EC. EC is a legal co-operation with its own legal system and with a supranational purpose. In a conflict between EC-Law and national law, EC-Law always has the preference. Due to this, several verdicts from the E

Syftet är att tydliggöra under vilka förutsättningar som en idrottsförening kan avsluta en tränares anställning.

Bumblebees are essential pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. They have experienced global declines over the last decades mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by agricultural intensification and land use changes. Haplodiploid hymenopterans with single-locus complementary sex determination (CSD), such as bees and bumblebees, are likely to experience partly different consequence

The Inquiry deemed such
Background: Logistics and distribution of sold goods have traditionally been individually handled by each company in the Wanxingda Group with minimal coordination on group level. The strong relationships between the companies within the group and their close geographical proximity to each other indicate that there might exist potential for closer collaboration in this area. Furthermore, many of th

Demokratier nedmonteras i stater runtom i världen. För att undvika och återhämta sig från demokratisk nedmontering är det viktigt att stater kan bibehålla eller förbättra sina nivåer av demokrati. Detta koncept är känt som ’democratic resilience’ eller demokratins motståndskraft. Demokratiers nedmontering har en negativ inverkan på människors möjlighet att åtnjuta mänskliga rättigheter, varför säkDemocracy is declining in several states in all regions of the world. To avoid and recover from democratic backsliding, it is important that states can maintain or improve their levels of democracy. This concept is commonly referred to as ‘democratic resilience’. Democratic backsliding has a negative impact on the ability of people to enjoy their human rights, and therefore, there must be a safety
Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife
