    Author : Wilma Lagerman; [2024-03-19]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Several scholars both within and outside the field of human ecology argue that the perceptual human-nature divide contributes profoundly to patterns of unsustainability and weak sustainability visible in the world today. Deliberately engaging in conscious bodily-felt contact with the natural environment is suggested to uncover appropriate, embodied angles to approaching ecology and the environmental crisis.

  4. 3. Rosendalsängen på Djurgården : en restaurering med naturalistiska planteringsprinciper

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Mikaela Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Rosendals slott; historisk trädgård; trädgårdsrestaurering; hållbarhet; biologisk mångfald; naturalistisk planteringsdesign; äng;

    Abstract : Bevarandet av historiska parker och trädgårdar är en viktig del av förvaltningen av det kulturhistoriska arv som finns i den bebyggda miljön, både i urbana och mer naturnära kontexter. Forskning har visat att det inom historiska trädgårdsanläggningar finns en anmärkningsvärt hög biodiversitet och att dessa platser därför kan spela en viktig roll i den hållbara utvecklingen eftersom de ofta är lagstadgat skyddade från exploatering till skillnad från övrig grönyta i städerna.

  5. 4. Transcending Power: Investigating the European Union as a Mouthpiece for Transhumanist Thought

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Amos Strömberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Foucauldian discourse analysis; transhumanism; the European Union; sociotechnical imaginaries; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the transhumanist ideology has become diluted into parts of the European Union and why this should be a concern from a human ecology lens.

  6. 5. Detectability of insects in Malaise traps : assessing insect detectability in Malaise traps through High-Resolution Sampling, and development of a novel marking technique

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Viktor Gårdman; [2023]
    Keywords : Malaise trap; activity; movement; weather; mark-recapture; detectability; insects;

    Abstract : Malaise traps are extensively used in insect surveys and studies, yet the detectability of insects in relation to the traps remain unknown. Detectability is the odds that a taxon ends up in a trap, given that the taxon is present in the area around the trap. READ MORE
