This study focuses on developing a consumer-centric Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) evaluation scale for the aviation industry, highlighting the growing importance of corporate sustainability actions from a consumer perspective. With the aviation sector being significantly impacted by sustainability challenges, the need for a strategic approach to leverage ESG management for competitive ad

Collaboration is expected to play a central role in the transition to abioeconomy—a central pillar of a green economy. Such collaboration is supposed to connect traditional biomass processing firms with diverse actors infields where biomass ought to substitute existing or create novel productsand processes. This study analyzes the network of technology collaborationsamong innovating firms in Swede

Alternating shear rotations, also known as tacking, can effectively alter viscosity, the jamming point, and dissipation per strain for dense suspensions. For a given packing fraction, viscosity decreases with increasing cruising (tacking) angle, while dissipation shows a complex dependence on both packing fraction and cruising angle. Generally, the cruising angle required to reduce overall dissipa

In this evaluation of the international legal standing of the right to reparation and its practical implementation at the national level, Christine Evans outlines State responsibility and examines the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, the Articles on State Responsibility of the International Law Commission and the convergence of norms in different branches of international law,

BACKGROUND: The shortage of trained surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetricians is a major contributor to the unmet need for surgical care in low- and middle-income countries, and the shortage is aggravated by migration to higher-income countries.METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional observational study, combining individual-level data of 43,621 physicians from the Health Professions Council

This article aims to explore what working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic means for workplace relationships. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with Swedish knowledge workers. Three approaches are identified as regards how employees maintain their workplace relationships when working from home: (1) being selective as regards social interactions, (2) being compliant and resist

The notion of patient safety entails protecting patients from preventable harm. This thesis presents suggestions on how the healthcare system, notably psychiatric healthcare, can understand and analyse patient safety risk as an emergent property of everyday interactions and relations. This view has itsconceptual roots in complexity theory.The overall aim is to understand patient safety risk as an

The discovery potential of both singlet and doublet vector-like leptons (VLLs) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as well as at the not-so-far future muon and electron machines is explored. The focus is on a single production channel for LHC direct searches while double production signatures are proposed for the leptonic colliders. A Deep Learning algorithm to determine the discovery (or exclusion

Reducing the heterogeneity of technical lignin is essential to obtain predictable and high-performance polymeric materials that are suitable for high-value applications. Organic solvents with different polarities and solubilities can be used to fractionate lignin and reduce the complexity and diversity of its chemical structure. Among the various solvents and solvent mixtures, acetone-water mixtur

Develops the Black feminist concept of reproductive justice further in critical dialogue.Includes case studies and perspectives from Sweden, Nicaragua, Poland, Taiwan.Focuses on the historical and contemporary interplay between the state and the pro- abortion/anti-abortion movements.

Stupidity is generally thought of as a hindrance to learning: an epistemic vice that stands in the way of knowledge and understanding. In this article, I challenge this idea by exploring some of the meanings of stupidity that place it in a positive relation to learning. In this light, the article discusses two notions of stupidity: stupidity as unfinished thought and stupefaction through study. I

Poststructuralist perspectives need to be reconciled with political economic readings of urban globalization. One approach complements the other: the enactment of distantiated circuits and the territorialization of flows occur within existing geographies of uneven development while contingently reproducing or reshaping such spatial conditions of possibility. We argue that broadening the realm of c

This article studies the maximum likelihood estimates of magnitude and scale parameters for a Gaussian process of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type used to model a deterministic function that does not have to be a realisation of an Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process. Specifically, we derive explicit expressions for the limiting values of the maximum likelihood estimates as the number of observations increases. The

The concept of food sovereignty is primarily taken as an alternative to the prevailing neoliberal food security model. However, the approach has hitherto not received adequate attention from policy makers. This could be because the discourse is marked by controversies and contradictions, particularly regarding its ability to address the challenges of feeding a rapidly growing global population. In

Active prechamber spark-ignition engines are a feasible and effective solution in reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions for internal combustion engines. However, reliable and low-cost numerical approaches need to be developed to support and speed-up their industrial design, considering their geometric complexity and the involved multiple-flow length scales. In this work, a computationa
