This thesis addresses business performance indicators in the context of the Circular Economy (CE) and the textile industry. Its purpose is to explore possible design features of Circular Performance Indicators (CPIs) in the textile industry, to examine the application of such metrics among retailers and to define potential indicators for the Swedish fashion retailer MQ. The research design is exp
There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen
While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national

This B.A-thesis has its focus on the Roman Iron Age in southern Scandinavia; i.e. Scania and the Danish isles. The main plot line is about the military and political structures during this time; how they worked together and what the archaeological evidence for this is. The material used consists of weapon burials, bog finds and historical sources. Since this material already have been examined and
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent o
Integrating multi-modal patient data to support personalized medicine has gained a lot of interest across different health domains over the past decade. Addressing this challenge requires the development and implementation of an informed, evidence-based AI-driven decision-support system continuously maintained and updated to align with the latest clinical guidelines. A key challenge to ensure its
Objective: The aim of this study was to achieve an international expert consensus on managing acute type B penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs) and intramural haematomas (IMHs). Methods: A modified Delphi consensus process was employed to develop recommendations for the management of acute type B PAU and IMH. Surveys were sent to international experts practicing in high volume aortic centres worldwide
In this article I rethink international migration law by analysing the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) through a concrete-utopian lens. Starting from the premise that coloniality remains an active structure of the global order, I show how progressive legal projects often reproduce the hierarchies they seek to overcome. Combining Gary Wilder’s concrete utopianism with Ruth Levitas’s
The present study addresses the question why there is a positive relationship between nitrogen deposition and potential net nitrogen mineralisation and nitrification in oak (Quercus robur L.) forest soils in south Sweden (Falkengren-Grerup et al., 1998), and how this is related to the carbon mineralisation. We tested three hypotheses based on European studies (Persson et al., 2000a,b) that postula
Popular Abstract in Swedish Styrelsen har under de senaste åren lyfts fram som en potentiell resurs som kan bidra till utvecklingskraft och förbättrad lönsamhet i små- och medelstora företag (SMF). Litteratur och forskning kring styrelsearbete behandlar dock främst stora publika företag där behovet av att begränsa företagsledningens handlingsutrymme lyfts fram. Den teoretiska kunskapen kring hur sThe board of directors is often described as a valuable resource for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can contribute to the direction and performance of the firm. Mainstream research and literature on boards and governance has however mainly been concerned with how the board of directors best can monitor and restrain managerial action in large widely held corporations, and there is
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte var att kartlägga den vård vårdpersonalen i Sverige praktiserar när nyfödda barn är döende och dör; samt belysa hur svenska kvinnor upplevt hot om och förlust av sitt nyfödda barn och vården de erhållit; ett ytterligare syfte var att utforska muslimska kvinnors uppfattning om den i Sverige praktiserade neonatala vården i livets slut. De professionelThe aim was to describe the neonatal end-of-life practice and illuminate Swedish women's lived experiences of the threat and the reality of their neonate's dying and death as well as the care received. A further aim was to explore Muslim women's view of current Swedish neonatal-end-of-life care. In a questionnaire with close-ended questions 144 registered nurses described their experiences, behavi
Purpose. To assess rehabilitation, type of follow-up visits and outcome after bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture. Method. Two hundred thirty-six consecutive patients with femoral neck fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty were followed for 30 months. Results. One hundred sixty-eight (71%) were women, 175 (74%) over 80 years old and 53 (22%) were demented. Of 150 patients with ava
We mapped the genetic influences for type 1 diabetes (T1D), using 2,360 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the 4.4-Mb human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus and the adjacent 493 kb centromeric to the MHC, initially in a survey of 363 Swedish T1D cases and controls. We confirmed prior studies showing association with T1D in the MHC, most significantly near HLA-DR/DQ. In the

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are less likely to be reported as an underlying cause of death (UCD) and since cause of death studies are generally limited to the UCD, little is known about socioeconomic inequalities in MSK disorders as cause of death in the general population. Using multiple-cause-of-death data, we aimed to quantify and compare educational inequalities in musculoskele
Base-catalysed depolymerisation of lignin using sodium hydroxide has been shown to be an effective approach towards exploiting industrial (technical) lignins within the pulp and paper industry. In the present work, a pine kraft lignin (Indulin AT) which is precipitated from black liquor of linerboard-grade pulp was depolymerised via base catalysis to produce low-molecular-mass aromatics without an
Background: Except for overall survival, whether or not waiting time for treatment could influences other domains of cancer patients' overall well-being is to a large extent unknown. Therefore, we performed this study to determine the effect of waiting time for cancer treatment on the mental health of patients with esophageal or gastric cancer. Methods: Based on the Swedish National Quality Regist
Shortcomings of current techniques used for the intracerebral transplantation of ventral mesencephalic dopamine neurons include low graft survival, high variability, considerable implantation trauma and suboptimal graft integration. In order to overcome these limitations, we have adopted a microtransplantation approach which allows precise and reproducible implantation of ventral mesencephalon cel
