Skogen och skogsbruket har idag en stark närvaro i klimatdebatten. Det finns bred enighet om att skogen har stor betydelse för klimatfrågan, men olika syn på vilka dessa klimatnyttor kan vara. Antalet studier inom området är omfattande och relevant styrning utvecklas över tid. Kunskapsläget är dock svåröverblickbart, vilket beror på att olika metoder, antaganden och tidshorisonter använts i olika

In this study, a solar dryer incorporating a flat plate heat exchanger to recover heat from exhaust air was investigated to explore the usability of different types of collectors in the system. Their usability was further evaluated through economic and environmental analyses. Moreover, the thermodynamic performance of the solar dryers was evaluated under two weather conditions in Nepal. Apple dryi

Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant impact of the resolution of solar irradiation data on the outcomes of hourly production models. Accurate integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems sometimes demands a high-resolution global horizontal irradiance (GHI) time series to capture the rapid fluctuations in PV power output induced by swift irradiance changes. Most of the available database

The issuance of building permits is a crucial process for urban development in accordance with the law and sustainability goals. Building permits in Europe involve a complex tapestry of processes, regulations, and methodologies. Despite its critical role in shaping the urban landscape, detailed investigations of building permitting process have been scarce. This gap in knowledge not only hinders t

Abstract Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40?years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (?)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally rThiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products.

Två böcker som analyserar västvärldens predikament efter Trump I är väl värda att begrunda även om de farhågor författarna ventilerar har antagit oanade proportioner efter Trump II: Peter Heathers och John Rapleys Why Empires Fall (Allen Lane 2023) och Martin Wolfs The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism (Penguin Books 2024).

The ethics of blame includes conditions determining whether an instance of blame is permissible. One generally recognised condition is that blame should be proportionate. If it is not proportionate, that speaks against its permissibility. All the same, what exactly amounts to proportionate blame is currently under-theorised. In this paper, we aim to amend this. More precisely, we distinguish betwe

Collecting detailed hydrogeological data before, during, and after remediation campaigns is essential for effective management and monitoring of contaminated sites. As in-situ remediation injection treatment becomes more popular, recording the hydraulic response during these events offers an opportunity to collect detailed data on hydrogeological parameters. Often, multiple injections are performe

Widespread autumn cooling occurred in the northern hemisphere (NH) during the period 2004-2018, primarily due to the strengthening of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Siberian High. Yet, while there has been considerable focus on the warming impacts, the effects of natural cooling on autumn leaf senescence and plant productivity have been largely overlooked. This gap in knowledge hinders our un

Market failure is a concept invoked in both economics and public policy to justify governmental interventions in the marketplace. Drawing on more than five years of qualitative research on public transport in Stockholm, this paper explores how market failure, operating as a form of folk theory within public policy, informed a legal reform. This reform aimed to reconfigure an established contractua

The first part of the first volume of the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was published in 1893 and the last volume was finished in 2023. Thus Sweden’s most extensive lexicographical project was completed after more than 130 years of work. But the completion is not the end of the dictionary project. Since 2024 a revision project is launched.

In this paper, a doctoral study on the description of semantic change in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) is presented. The starting point for the study is semantic labels like figurative and in extended use. Five such labels in SAOB are examined, mainly with methods from the cognitive linguistic framework. The results show, among other things, that the most labelled mechanism is metaphor, th

In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish AcademyDictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work. The dictionary contains over 500,000 entries and describes the Swedish language from the 1520s to the present day. However, a consequence of the extended time of publication is that a significant part of the content, in particular in the first volumes, was out In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work.

Berättelsen om Katalonien har under senare år handlat om försöken att bryta sig loss från Spanien. Men vid sidan om de politiska slitningarna har regionens litteratur fått stort genomslag, inte minst genom den katalanskspråkiga författaren Irene Solà. Kanske närmar vi oss en ny renaixença?
