2. 16. Counting on the details: Inquiring into past events of cooperative interviewees

   Author : Rebecca M. Willén; Pär Anders Granhag; Leif Strömwall; Henry Otgaar; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Investigative interviewing; Amount of detail; Autobiographical and episodic memory; Open data; Open material; Repeated events; Statement analysis; Psychology;

   Abstract : Amount and quality of detail in recollections of past events are often studied in legal psychology. What, how much, and how accurate does a witness typically recall? How can we facilitate witnesses' recollections in police interviews? How can we detect deception? The overall aim of this thesis was to employ research with high ecological validity to investigate amount and quality of detail in interviews with cooperative adults. READ MORE

4. 17. Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles and Heinrich events in western Europe - A diatom perspective

   Author : Linda Ampel; Barbara Wohlfarth; Jan Risberg; Sherilyn Fritz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dansgaard-Oescher cycles; Heinrich events; MIS 3 and 2; diatoms; Les Echets; France; Quaternary geology; Kvartärgeologi; Quarternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

   Abstract : The last glacial period was characterised by several abrupt climatic shifts referred to as Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) cycles and Heinrich events. These shifts were most frequent between 60,000 and 20,000 years before present coinciding with Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 3 and 2. READ MORE

5. 18. Assessing future effects on lake ecosystem resilience using data analysis and dynamic modelling : Modelling the effects of extreme weather events and climate warming on lakes

   Author : Jorrit P. Mesman; Bastiaan W Ibelings; Stéphane Goyette; Don C Pierson; Karsten Rinke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extreme events; Storms; Modelling; Climate change; Thermal structure; Phytoplankton;

   Abstract : Extreme weather events can have short-term and long-term effects on lake thermal structure, nutrient dynamics, and community composition. Moreover, changes in lake variables induced by global climate change may influence the response and recovery of lake ecosystems to extreme weather events. READ MORE

6. 19. Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Events: Insights from Asia and Scandinavia

   Author : Dong An; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; extreme events; precipitation extremes; droughts; climate variability; ENSO; climate model; climate projection; the Asia-Pacific region; scandinavia;

   Abstract : As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. READ MORE

7. 20. Safety for Children in Cars – Focus on Three Point Seatbelts in Emergency Events

   Author : Isabelle Stockman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steering; Crash test dummies; Run-off road; Child restraint systems; Child safety; Emergency events; Braking; Pre-pretensioners;

   Abstract : Child safety in vehicles has improved over time. One of the main factors is due to the increased restraint use by children. Nevertheless, studies show that although children are restrained, injuries still occur indicating that restraint systems have the potential for further improvement. READ MORE
