Detecting bark beetle damage with Sentinel-2 multi-temporal data in Sweden

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe.

In recent years, increasing attention has been given to questions of how to define, teach, measure, and improve teamwork in healthcare. However, one cannot help but feel a certain disconnect between this ongoing trend, with an associated bia

Kan biokol rena akvatiska miljöer från läkemedelsrester?

Många avloppsreningsverk har inte den reningen som krävs för att fånga upp läkemedelsrester vilket leder till att resterna hamnar i miljön. Hittills har läkemedelsresterna inte varit ett så stort problem, men på grund av ett mer frekvent användande av läkemedel blir det allt vanligare att högre koncentrationer av läkemedelsrester återfinns i akvatiska miljöer. Några av dom som återkommer högst i uPharmaceutical residues are becoming more appearing in aquatic systems and it is affecting aquatic organisms. A literature analysis was made to determine if biochar can adsorb pharmaceutical residues and if it is more effective than the already established filter material active carbon. This study shows that biochar has good promises to be able to act as a filter to adsorb pharmaceutical residues.

GIS för att analysera risker och sårbarheter

Samhället med dess invånare och infrastruktur är utsatt för ett flertal risker och sårbarheter. Enligt lag är kommunerna skyldiga att identifiera vilka risker och sårbarheter som existerar inom kommunens geografiska område. Hanteringen av risker och sårbarheter i samhället sker delvis genom att kommuner upprättar en risk- och sårbarhetsanalys (RSA). RSA-arbetet ska innefatta vilka risker, sårbarhe

”Det hade ju gått till den graden där ute att barn lekte narkotikahandel” - En intervjustudie om kamerabevakningen i det utsatta bostadsområdet Charlottesborg

I Kristianstads kommun har man som en typ av situationell brottsförebyggande åtgärd valt att sätta upp kameraövervakning i det utsatta bostadsområdet Charlottesborg.

Towards a Visual Perspective in Strategic Communication: A Visual Analysis of Challenger Brand Narratives

The fate of pebbles and planetesimals entering protoplanetary envelopes

De mest framgångsrika planetbildningsmodellerna som forskare jobbar med idag härstammar från en idé som kom fram för nästan 300 års sedan, under 1700-talet. Det var den svenske forskaren Emanuel Swedenborg och den tyske filosofen Immanuel Kant som kom fram med en hypotes som vi idag kallar Solnebulosan. Idén bygger på att solen bildades från ett gigantiskt stoftmoln som kollapsade, på grund av graPlanetary embryos grow by the accretion of solid dust-material, ranging from cm- to m-sized pebbles up to km-sized planetesimals. However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. When the pebbles and planetesimals encounter a protoplanet, they are subjected to the gaseous environment of the protoplanetary envelope. Because of the drag-force from the gas, the

Research on the influences of absolute income and income satisfaction on residents’ happiness in China

With the “maximum utility” theory, it is reasonable to believe Chinese residents are having a happier life than ever thanks to the rapid economic growth as well as their absolute income growth in China. But here in this study I proved it wrong, what really matters is the income satisfaction on the higher probability of happiness. This study is based on the data from Chinese General Social Survey i
