Småbiotopsuppföljning i NILS år 2008
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport presenterar resultat för mängden av småbiotoper vid åkermark i det svenska landskapet. Analyserna görs på uppdrag av Jordbruksverket, som underlag för bl.a. utvärderingen av miljökvalitetsmålet Ett rikt odlingslandskap. Särskilda rutiner har tagits fram för att aggregera olika variabler för att välja ut de småbiotoper som uppfyller de krav som Jordbruksverket har ställt upp, ur den befintliga databasen. Urvalet av småbiotoper är anpassat för att överensstämma med det urval av objekt som ingår i det s.k. KULT-stödet (miljöersättning till lantbrukare för skötsel av värdefulla natur- och kulturmiljöer) inom Jordbruksverkets Landsbygdsprogram. Arbetet har utförts vid institutionen för skoglig resurshushållning, Sveriges lantbruks-universitet, Umeå. Resultaten baseras på data från flygbildsinventeringen inom det nationella miljöövervakningsprogrammet NILS (Nationell Inventering av Landskapet i Sverige) vilket följer tillstånd och förändringar i det svenska landskapet och hur dessa påverkar förutsättningarna för den biologiska mångfalden. NILS finansieras av Naturvårdsverket, och ingår där i programområde Landskap. Ett viktigt syfte med programmet är att följa upp de nationella miljökvalitetsmålen för olika naturtyper och fungera som underlag för att se om genomförda policybeslut och miljövårdsåtgärder leder till önskade förbättringar

SUPERSMART: ecology and evolution in the era of big data

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapidly growing biological data volumes – including molecular sequences, species traits, geographic occurrences, specimen collections, and fossil records – hold an unprecedented, yet largely unexplored potential to reveal how ecological and evolutionary processes generate and maintain biodiversity. Most biodiversity studies integrating ecological data and evolutionary history use an idiosyncratic step-by-step approach for the reconstruction of time-calibrated phylogenies in light of ecological and evolutionary scenarios. Here we introduce a conceptual framework, termed SUPERSMART (Self-Updating Platform for Estimating Rates of Speciation and Migration, Ages, and Relationships of Taxa), and provide a proof of concept for dealing with the moving targets of biodiversity research. This framework reconstructs dated phylogenies based on the assembly of molecular datasets and collects pertinent data on ecology, distribution, and fossils of the focal clade. The data handled for each step are continuously updated as databases accumulate new records. We exemplify the practice of our method by presenting comprehensive phylogenetic and dating analyses for the orders Primates and the Gentianales. We believe that this emerging framework will provide an invaluable tool for a wide range of hypothesis-driven research questions in ecology and evolution.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Noise is an environmental problem that affects children both at school and home. This chapter summarizes the results on noise disturbances from the “Children’s environment and health survey” conducted in Stockholm County in year 2003. It was found that children were most disturbed by noise at school. Thirty per cent of all 8- and 12 year old children in Stockholm County were annoyed by noise at school, mainly noise from other children. Children in Stockholm County were exposed to more noise in their homes than children in other parts of Sweden. Almost 50 % of children in inner city Stockholm and 20 % in the rest of the County were living in apartments with windows facing a major road, railway or industry. Eighteen per cent of all 8- and 12-year olds were disturbed by noise in their homes. Slightly less than 6 % reports that noise disturbed school homework or speech communication, whereas 4 % reported difficulties in falling asleep due to noise in the home. Approximately three per cent of parents to all 4-, 8- and 12-year old children reported that their children have reduced hearing, and three per cent of 8- and 12-year old children reported that they have tinnitus. It is concluded that noise in dwellings and schools should be reduced in order to provide good and healthy sound environments for children. Furthermore, the sound environment should be considered already at the planning stage, in order to minimize indoor and outdoor noise exposure in future dwellings and schools.

Workplace intervention for improved risk perception and preventive activity among workers : using hand-held vibrating machines: a pilot study
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article presents a pilot study of a 1-h workplace educational intervention implemented among ten construction workers who were highly exposed to hand–arm vibration. The intervention combined risk communication and normative expert advice intended to reinforce preventive behaviour related to vibration, noise, and biomechanical loads. Data for this study comprised intervention notes and interview data from interventionists, and pre- and post-intervention interview data from participating workers.The results suggested that the intervention was sensitive to disturbances and should be directed only to motivated workers possessing sufficient self-efficacy, and only in circumstances in which exposure may be controlled on the local workplace level and by locally implemented measures. Unless these conditions are present, the studied intervention may fail to influence preventive behaviour, and may instead cause cognitive dissonance and frustration among participants and interventionists.
