  2. 1. Boundaries of displacement : Belonging and Return among Forcibly Displaced Young Georgians from Abkhazia

    Author : Minna Lundgren; Roine Johansson; Anna Olofsson; Barzoo Eliassi; Tone Bringa; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Georgia; Abkhazia; Caucasus; IDP; internal displacement; return; forced displacement; youth; border; riskscapes; uncertainty;

    Abstract : This dissertation explores the implications of borders and boundaries for how forcibly displaced young Georgians from Abkhazia understand issues of belonging and return. My theoretical framework draws from theories on home and belonging as well as theories on border and boundary making, and locates them in geographies of uncertainty – or riskscapes – areas characterized by conflict and/or inequality.

  4. 2. Second home tourism : The root to displacement in Sweden?

    Author : Roger Marjavaara; Dieter K. Müller; Allan M. Williams; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; second homes; displacement; tourism; mobility; Stockholm archipelago; Sweden.; Economic geography; Ekonomisk geografi;

    Abstract : During certain seasons, rural and peripheral locations with significant numbers of second homes become the destination for major traffic and commodity flows. The outcome of this seasonal flow can be somewhat problematic and cause conflicts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Single-cell population genetics and dispersal limitation of a bloom-forming microalga

    Author : Raphael Gollnisch; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gonyostomum semen; algal blooms; invasive species; population structure; RADseq; single-cell whole genome amplification; multiple displacement amplification; calcium; pH; iron;

    Abstract : Microalgal range expansions are increasing in frequency and magnitude worldwide mostly due to anthropogenic factors. However, they often remain unnoticed until mass development (algal blooms) occurs due to difficulties in detection when population densities are low. READ MORE

  6. 4. Population Displacement Estimation During Disasters Using Mobile Phone Data

    Author : Silvino Pedro Cumbane; Yifang Ban; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Zeferino Saugene; John Östh; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geoinformatics; Geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Natural disasters result in devastating losses in human life, environmental assets, and personal-, regional-, and national economies. The availability of different big data such as satellite images, Global Positioning System (GPS)traces, mobile Call Detail Records (CDR), social media posts, etc. READ MORE

  7. 5. Divergence, admixture and continuity in the human past : Demographic inference using ancient and modern genomes

    Author : James McKenna; Mattias Jakobsson; Per Sjödin; Ida Moltke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human evolution; population genetics; ancient genomes; population continuity; divergence; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Abstract : Demographic forces shaping the genetic variation we observe today can include population divergences, admixture events and continuity through time. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies, together with developments in molecular and bio-informatics methods, mean the number of ancient genomes available for inference has risen steeply.
