2. 1. Kinh Settlers in Viet Nam’s Northern Highlands : Natural Resources Management in a Cultural Context

   Author : Mats Lundberg; Anders Hjort af Ornäs; Hans Holmén; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Viet Nam; northern mountains; highlands; wet rice agriculture; upland agriculture; shifting cultivation; natural resources use; local knowledge; culture; ethnicity; Naturresurser; Vietnam; etniska grupper; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Abstract : This study deals with the Kinh (or Viet) majority people who have migrated from the lowland Red River Delta to the mountainous areas of northern Viet Nam, and their adjustment to a new social and physical environment. Its aim is to analyse the social and cultural consequences for these migrants when settling in communities populated with people who belong to the national ethnic minorities (the Tày, the Giay and the Ngan peoples).

4. 2. Contaminated organic sediments of anthropogenic origin: impact on coastal environments

   Author : Anna Apler; Ian Snowball; Sarah Josefsson; Lovisa Zillén; Magdalena Kuchler; Jonas Gunnarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiberbank; fiber-rich sediment; metals; persistent organic pollutants; pore water; bottom water; dispersal; sorption; pulp and paper; chemostratigraphy; Anthropocene; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The Baltic Sea is negatively affected by legacy pollutants such as metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are known to have adverse effects on living organisms, including, humans and were banned decades ago. This thesis addresses the dispersal of these pollutants from heavily contaminated, cellulose-rich sediments of industrial origin in the Ångermanälven river estuary in northern Sweden. READ MORE

5. 3. Dispersal and environmental impact of contaminants in organic rich, fibrous sediments of industrial origin in the Baltic Sea

   Author : Anna Apler; Ian Snowball; Karin Wiberg; Kevin Bishop; Sarah Josefsson; Lovisa Zillén; Ida-Maja Hassellöv; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiberbank; fiber-rich sediments; metals; persistent organic pollutants; pore water; bottom water; dispersal; sorption; pulp and paper; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The health of the Baltic Sea is negatively affected by hazardous substances such as metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which include legacy pollutants that were banned decades ago, but still circulate in the ecosystem. Elevated levels of legacy pollutants, identified by HELCOM as key hazardous substances, have been found in accumulations of fibrous sediments, so-called fiberbanks and fiber-rich sediments, which derive from old pulp mills along the Swedish north coast.

6. 4. Casting for Knowledge and Landing Understanding : Exploring the management of Swedish recreational fisheries as social-ecological systems

   Author : Samuel Blyth; Patrik Rönnbäck; Malgorzata Blicharska; Stian Stensland; Shannon D. Bower; Anssi Vainikka; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Recreational Fisheries; Fisheries Management; Catch Release; Social-ecological System; Angler Behaviour; Fish Behaviour; Fish Welfare; Stakeholder Engagement; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The successful management of recreational fisheries must balance ecological, and social goals; select from and implement a range of management tools; operate under often complex governance structures; and contend with diverse human stakeholders’ expectations, desires, and actual behaviour in response to management activities. This complexity also means that there are many knowledge and research gaps regarding the information needed to meet the requirements of specific fisheries. READ MORE

7. 5. Global energy transitions : Renewable energy technology and non-renewable resources

   Author : Simon Davidsson; Mikael Höök; Kjell Aleklett; Björn Sandén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy transitions; natural resources; renewable energy; sustainable development; growth curves; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The global energy system is dominated by the use of fossil fuels. This system suffers from several problems, such as different environmental issues, while the long-term energy security is sometimes questioned. READ MORE
