Horisonter med subfossila stubbar och rötter av tall (Pinus sylvestris) är vanliga i stratigra-fier från torvmarker i norra Europa. Dessa är tydliga indikationer på att det under holocen funnits perioder med tillräckligt gynnsamma förhållanden för tallar att växa på mossar. Tall kan endast växa på mossar när ytan är tillräckligt torr, och därför är rester av tallar på mossar goda indikationer på eHorizons rich in subfossil stumps and roots of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are frequently found in stratigraphies of northern European peatlands, providing clear evidence of Holocene periods with favourable conditions for bog-pine growth. The pines could only grow when bog-surface wetness was sufficiently low, and the presence of their remains is therefore a good indicator of past climatic condi

To address this issue, the present study set out to examine speaker recognition from shor

Gemenskap är ett socialt fenomen som är en intressant och en central aspekt att undersöka på dessa digitala plattformar, eftersom gemenskapsaspekten för människan är relativt

Over the last decades, the share of income accruing to upper income groups and the overall inequality has increased in many developed countries. This thesis primary objective has been to analyse whether there is a cointegration between Norwegian top income shares and the inverted Pareto-Lorenz coefficient.

The out-migration of adolescents and its ensuing consequences, such as rising costs in infrastructure, are a central concern for most rural municipalities in Germany today. This thesis is inspired by and based on the youth participation process titled “Jetzt rede ich!” (in English: “I am talking now!”), which aimed to answer the question of how a municipality in northern Germany can keep youth and

I vår teoridel presenterar vi tre teorier; Servuctionmodellen för ett fysiskt möte, modellen för sfärer i gemensamt värdeskapande, samt DART-modellen för interaktion inom gemensamt värdeskapande. Vi kombinerar dessa modeller till en sammanslagen. Denna sammanslagna modell analyserar vi sedan ställd mot vårt
