11. “It was a free and healthy job” : timber floating on the river Ångermanälven in the 20th century
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementSammanfattning : The exploitation of northern Sweden's forests began in about the 1830s and continued expanding northwards over the following decades. A key factor that enabling the exploitation of these forests was the natural infrastructure, such as the network of rivers, creeks and flooding during the summer, which made it possible to float timber from the forests to the sawmills on the coast.

12. "Det lundomsusade Torup" - Ideologiska och globala perspektiv på ett skånskt godslandskap
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Historisk arkeologiSammanfattning : In this essay an attempt is made to interpret the landscape at the Scanian estate Torup from two perspectives not commonly used in the study of postmedieval landscapes: the ideological rather than the economical-functional, and the global rather than the local.

Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Historisk arkeologiSammanfattning : The ideal image of an Early Modern public execution site might be a highly elevated and clearly visible place in the landscape, perhaps close to a road, and not too far from a town or a village. This visibility pattern is also what most of the research and the studies on public execution sites in southern Sweden has shown. LÄS MER
15. Analysis of pervasive climate risks to global rice production at the subnational level
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Rice is a vital crop and main source of calories for half the global population, particularly in the GlobalSouth.
