  1. 1. Can the disappearance of the forest orchid Goodyera repens be linked to clearcutting? : a spatial analysis using citizen science data from southern Sweden.

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Ines Diaz Garcia; [2024]
    Keywords : Goodyera repens; knärot; Artportalen; forestry; clearcut; citizen science; southern Sweden; conservation;

    Abstract : Habitat transformation through forestry has an impact on boreal species in northern Europe. In Sweden, even-aged plantations with clearcut harvesting are forestry practices that affect the understory vegetation. This study focuses on the red-listed Goodyera repens, a rhizomatous evergreen orchid. READ MORE

  3. 2. The active phase of Pt(110) during catalytic CO oxidation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Hira Qazilbash; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : CO oxidation is an important topic in heterogeneous catalysis, due to its role in industrial processes such as pollution reduction in the auto industry, and ethanol or other fuel production. In the automotive catalytic converters CO oxidation reduces the poisonous CO to CO2 by reacting with O2. READ MORE

  4. 3. Democratization of Intelligence? Comparing Vietnam and Ukraine

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Björn Erik Almroth; [2023]
    Keywords : Covert intervention; Vietnam War; Russia-Ukraine War; implausible deniability; democratization of intelligence; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : This study explores how a contemporary systemic shift regarding secrecy and intelligence is affecting the strategic performance of states engaged in overt or covert intervention. These changes are conceptualized by researchers as “implausible deniability”, “delayed disclosure” and “the democratization of intelligence” and their significance are applied to limited-war theory with a theoretical focus on acknowledgment and open secrets.
