Contemporary society operates beyond safe boundaries of the Earth system. Returning to a safe operating space for humanity within Earth system boundaries is a question of justice. The relevance of the economy—and thus of business—for bringing society back to a safe and just operating space highlights the importance of business ethics research for understanding the role of business in Earth system
Livscykelanalys (LCA) används för att utvärdera den potentiella miljöpåverkan av olika processer och tjänster, bland annat inom bygg- och fastighetssektorerna. Denna studie jämför tre LCA-verktyg som är speciellt utvecklade för användning inom bygg- och fastighetssektorn mot ett fjärde som är ett allmänt LCA-verktyg. En LCA görs för en fallstudie av ett flerfamiljshus där ett ventilationssystem meLife cycle assessment (LCA) is used to evaluate the potential environmental impact of different processes and services, including in the construction and real estate sectors. This study compares three LCA tools that have been specifically developed for use in the construction and real estate sectors with a fourth that is a general LCA tool. An LCA is performed for a case study of a multi-family bu
IMPORTANCE: Perforated colonic diverticulitis usually requires surgical resection, which is associated with significant morbidity. Cohort studies have suggested that laparoscopic lavage may treat perforated diverticulitis with less morbidity than resection procedures. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes from laparoscopic lavage with those for colon resection for perforated diverticulitis. DESIGN, S
Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity. It is now indisputable that the primary cause of this threat is human activity resulting in high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which began during the Industrial Revolution and have continued to rapidly accelerate. The first warnings of impending and irreversible climate change were sounded decades ago, when governmental and intergovernmenta
In this blog, Jason Tucker, Associate Senior Lecturer at Malmö University, challenges the ways in which the international community programmatically engages with stateless refugees. Drawing on his research investigating the governance of stateless refugees, Jason argues that the statelessness of stateless refugees is systematically and chronically under-valued, sometimes with devastating consequen
On October 9, 2023, Harvard University Professor Claudia Goldin received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, a landmark achievement that not only celebrates her outstanding contributions but also highlights the profound impact an economist can have on society.
Iridium dioxide (IrO2), ruthenium dioxide (RuO2), and their solid solutions (Ir1-xRuxO2) are very active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Efficient and facile synthesis of nanosized crystallites of these materials is of high significance for electrocatalytic applications for converting green energy to fuels (power-to-X). Here, we use in situ X-ray scattering to examine rea
Summary Successful malaria transmission from the mosquito vector to the mammalian host depends crucially on active sporozoite motility. Sporozoite locomotion and host cell invasion are driven by the parasite's own actin/myosin motor. A unique feature of this motor machinery is the presence of very short subpellicular actin filaments. Therefore, F-actin stabilizing proteins likely play a central ro
In this article, we construct and analyse an explicit numerical splitting method for a class of semi-linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with additive noise, where the drift is allowed to grow polynomially and satisfies a global one-sided Lipschitz condition. The method is proved to be mean-square convergent of order 1 and to preserve important structural properties of the SDE. First,
The most important moment in product development is when demands and specifications are decided for the product that is being planned. The specification defines the goal for the product development process. It is a very important steering opportunity for the continuing work and for environmentally driven demands that are to be addressed in the product development phase. The designers are said to h
A search for lepton-flavor-violating Z→eτ and Z→μτ decays with pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. This analysis uses 139 fb-1 of Run 2 pp collisions at s=13 TeV and is combined with the results of a similar ATLAS search in the final state in which the τ lepton decays hadronically, using the same data set as well as Run 1 data. The addition of leptonically dec
Most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have made great strides towards more accessible and higher quality schooling and medical systems in recent years. Despite this, education and health care in Africa lag behind other developing regions and large inequalities in educational levels and health care access remain across countries, subnational regions, and gender. Cameroon, in west-central Africa, wit
A radioactive fallout following a nuclear accident can result in contamination of large areas of land. In order to protect human health against ionizing radiation, large-scale decontamination that includes multiple sets of clean-up measures may be necessary. Sweden lacks national experience of this type of large-scale decontamination. There are thus great uncertainties in the effect of such a deco
The panel initiates a discussion on the role of information behaviour research in addressing majorchallenges facing our society. These include climate change, political extremism, and health threats –in many of which information plays a crucial role. The panel asks, first, what is the role andresponsibility of information behaviour research in addressing societal challenges, and second, is therea
The bone marrow microenvironment provides indispensable factors to sustain blood production throughout life. It is also a hotspot for the progression of hematologic disorders and the most frequent site of solid tumor metastasis. Preclinical research relies on xenograft mouse models, but these models preclude the human-specific functional interactions of stem cells with their bone marrow microenvir
Transitioning from linear to circular production systems requires interactions that include cross-sectoral collaboration in networks. Understanding the role of collaboration within these networks can support the transition to a circular economy. To understand cross-sectoral collaborative endeavors, this paper develops a collaboration framework for circular economy by combining and interlinking thr
