Svanödlor (plesiosaurier) är akvatiska reptiler från mesozoikum, runt 251.9 till 66 miljoner år sedan. Fossil från gruppen har beskrivits globalt sedan tidigt 1800-tal, och inkluderar fynd från marina kretaceiska avlagringar i sydligaste Sverige. Här är det fossila arkivet fragmentariskt, och utgörs huvudsakligen av isolerade tänder och kotkroppar. Endast två fragment från kraniet på en svanödla hPlesiosaurs are aquatic reptiles that roamed the world’s oceans during the Mesozoic, some 251.9 to 66 million years ago. Fossils of this group have been recorded globally since the early 19th century, and include finds in the marine Cretaceous of southernmost Sweden. Here, the record of plesiosaurs is fragmentary (a so called ‘scrap fauna’), and mainly made up of isolated teeth and vertebral centr

Norr om Gotland ligger Fårö, en ö känd för dess säregna naturlandskap. Det är en lantlig miljö präglad av jordbruk, men också ett populärt sommarresmål för turister på grund av det vackra landskapet och den pittoreska arkitekturen. Denna popularitet kommer dock med ett högt pris. Kulturarvet köps upp och byggs om, höjda bostadspriser orsakar en befolkningsminskning samtidigt som fritidshus byggs iFårö is an island north of Gotland famous for its captivating natural landscape. It’s a rural setting characterized by agriculture, but also a popular summer destination for tourists because of the beautiful scenery and picturesque local architecture. However, the popularity comes at a cost. The cultural heritage is increasingly bought up and redeveloped, excessive housing prices cause a decline i

This thesis investigates the ecological and urban regeneration of the Svisloch River in Minsk, focusing on its central urban segment. Historically a natural watercourse and public axis, the Svisloch has undergone a significant transformation into a technically regulated water body, reflecting the city's changing priorities as a result of Soviet-era infrastructure development and contemporary u

Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool for modelling gross primary production (GPP) at large scales. While model comparison is a prerequisite for understanding carbon dynamics comprehensively, existing GPP products rely on a limited number of satellite sensors. In this study, the contemporary fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation product derived from PROBA-V and Sentinel-3

The lexical bias effect refers to the tendency for phonological speech errors to have lexical rather than non-lexical outcomes. This effect has often been used as a piece of evidence in theories of speech production, informing assumptions about monitoring and spreading activation. However, the lexical bias effect is known only from investigations of a relatively small set of languages, and the fin

More than half of the world's population today lives in urban areas, and the relationship between the city and the sea has always played a central role. Studies show that access to waterfront environments in port cities historically been limited, but as urban development progresses, the coastline is gaining increasing significance in the urban context. This presents both opportunities and chal

Although most homes still appear visually the same as they did a half century ago, their relationship to humans and their surrounding environment has changed significantly in recent years. Conventional residential design is often constrained by rigid layouts, poor adaptability to evolving lifestyles, and insufficient opportunities for individual personalization. As a result, spatial arrangements t

In a country with over fifty spoken languages and a truly multilingual society, the existence of a single official language to unify the people may appear natural. However, when that language is inherited from former colonisers and is spoken fluently by less than 40% of the population, its status becomes questionable. This study investigates the use of French and language attitudes among a small

Contemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities. This article examines how the unemployed, through digital job coaching webinars by Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish Public Employment Service), are positioned and steered as job seeContemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialarbetare och diakoner i Sverige beskriver och resonerar kring sitt förhållningssätt till personer som uttrycker skam i samband med behov av mathjälp. Tio professionella som arbetar med mathjälp deltog i individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer. Framträdande drag i resultaten är tre strategier baserade på argumentation, bemötande och handling i mThe aim of this study was to reveal how social workers and deacons in Sweden describe and reason their approach to people expressing an experience of shame when in need of food aid. Ten food aid professionals participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Prominent features in the "ndings are three strategies based on argumentation, attitude, and action in the meeting with visitors, and, a

BACKGROUND: Medical students navigate a complex landscape of digital tools with potential to enhance learning. The main objectives of the current study were to investigate which digital resources are being used, which background factors are associated with utilization, perceived advantages and disadvantages of different digital resources, and explore future directions.METHODS: Cross-sectional, nat

Decades of criminological research have highlighted the principle that “place matters” when analysing crime dynamics. While acknowledging this, our study emphasises that place matters at specific times of the day and days of the week. This paper explores spatiotemporal patterns of assaults in public spaces in Stockholm, Sweden, using a time–space modeling approach. By segmenting annual crime regis

During the Spanish Civil War, the battle for the defense of Madrid attracted international attention. It was on the streets of the capital where the unprofessional republican troops first managed to stop the best units of the Spanish army, while German aircraft put into practice bombing tactics that would later use during World War II. The control of urban hydrogeography in Madrid played a key rol

This survey aims to establish a current baseline for developin

An integrated lunar habitat system is proposed, combining mycelium-based biological materials, autonomous robotic construction, and modular architectural strategies to enable long-term adaptation in extreme environments. Before human arrival, robotic units construct the primary structure and initiate mycelium growth along interior surfaces. This fungal layer functions as a living sensor network, w

As China's aging process accelerates, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing urban infrastructures to meet the needs of older adults in terms of daily mobility and social participation. This paper examines how urban infrastructure in China facilitates or constrains the daily lives of older adults by understanding the perspectives of family caregivers. Based on data from semi-struct

Biobaserad kraftvärme som drivs på restprodukter från skogsindustrin har möjligheten att bidra till minskade utsläpp men bränslena måste vara miljömässigt hållbara. Detta arbete undersöker potentialen för ett ökat uttag av grot, grenar och toppar, från sveReducing carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector is essential if Sweden is to achieve its climate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Bio-based combined heat and power (CHP), fueled by residual products from the forest industry, has the potential to contribute to reduced emissions but only with enough fuel that’s environmentally sustainable. This study investigates the pot

I Sverige pågår en elektrifiering av samhället, där transporter, industrier och hushåll i allt större utsträckning försöker övergå till el som energibärare. Detta är en central del i att nå våra klimatmål, men ställer samtidigt höga krav på elsystemets kapacitet. För att kunna planera för ett robust och hållbart elnät krävs en förståelse för hur el används idag. I denna rapport ligger fokus på attThis report aims to develop general synthetic load profiles representing electricity consumption in Swe- dish single-family homes. Based on historical hourly consumption data from Lomma and Helsingborg, provided by RISE, three models – SARIMAX, GRU, and Prophet – were trained and evaluated. To enable comparison and future scalability, the data was normalized by each user’s annual consumption. Amon
