2. 1. Seaward Landward : Investigations on the archaeological source value of the landing site category in the Baltic Sea region

   Author : Kristin Ilves; Frands Herschend; Ingmar Jansson; Antony Firth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; Coastal archaeology; Maritime archaeology; Maritime cultural landscape; Landing sites; Harbours; Critical historiography; Sociology of landing sites; Model of interaction; Methodology; Shore displacement; Phosphate analysis; Baltic Sea region; Archaeology; Arkeologi;

   Abstract : There is a tendency in archaeology dealing with watercraft landing sites in a wider context to assume a direct relationship between sites in coastal and shore-bound areas and the practise of landing, without any deeper practical or theoretical exploration of the reality of any such relationship. This problem has its origins in the poor archaeological and conceptual definitions of watercraft landing sites obstructing any real understanding of the role of these sites in the maritime cultural landscape.

   Abstract : Coastal and marine resources support tourism and recreation, urbanizationand coastal development sectors as well as marine genetic resources and bioprospecting. Fishing remains the most important economic activity forprovision of food and income to coastal communities. READ MORE

5. 3. Technology and systems for stump harvesting with low ground disturbance

   Author : Simon Berg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Tree stumps could make a significant contribution to the transition from a fossil- to a bio-based economy, but current stump harvesting operations have adverse ecological effects. The ground disturbance caused by the up-rooting leads to increased carbon emissions from the soil and increases risks of leaching of heavy metals and nutrients, while removal of stump wood increases nutrient removal and reduces amounts of dead wood in the forest.

6. 4. Semiochemical-mediated attraction and oviposition in pyralid moths

   Author : Christian Olsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ekologi; Lepidoptera; behaviour; pest control; Ecology; learning; olfaction;

   Abstract : Moths use chemical signals emanating from food to find sites for oviposition and subsequent larval feeding. By identifying these odours, novel approaches to pest management can be developed, such as monitoring of females in pest populations. READ MORE

7. 5. The evolution of lunar breccias : U-Pb geochronology of Ca-phosphates and zircon using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

   Abstract : Planetary bodies in our Solar System, including the Moon, were exposed to an intense asteroid bombardment between ~4.5-3.8 Ga, shaping their surfaces and leaving visible “footprints” in the form of large impact basins. The end of this period (~4. READ MORE
