2. 1. Rethinking family business succession : from a problem to solve to an ongoing practice

   Author : Kajsa Haag; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : As the title denotes, I suggest we think differently about family business succession. I propose to rethink succession from a problem to a practice. This means that succession is not a problem to solve but something people do in family business; it is ongoing, it is integrated and it is ordinary. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of community- and government-managed marine protected areas on tropical seagrass and coral communities

   Author : Angelica Chirico; Johan Eklöf; Nils Kautsky; Even Moland; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coastal ecosystems; conservation; marine spatial planning; locally managed; fisheries closure; benthic communities; fish; foundation species; macroalgae; secondary succession; life-history; trait variability; plasticity; tourism; human disturbance; fishing; experimental research; Western Indian Ocean; causal modelling; structural equation model; permanova; multivariate data; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Tropical seagrass beds and coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems on Earth and provide ecosystem services, such as fish production and coastal protection, and support livelihoods of millions of people. At the same time, these ecosystems are threatened globally by anthropogenic disturbances, such as overfishing, pollution and global warming. READ MORE

7. 5. The impact of past land-use change on floristic diversity in southern Sweden : a quantitative approach based on high-resolution pollen data

   Author : Daniel Fredh; Kvartärgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the relationship between land-use and floristic diversity over the last three millennia in the uplands of southern Sweden. A quantitative approach based on high-resolution pollen data was applied, using the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA), historical maps/aerial photographs, palynological richness and new ways to estimate past evenness at regional and local spatial scales, which enable estimates of the rate and degree of change in land-use and floristic diversity.
