Alltmedan produktionen av textiler kommit att öka under de senaste åren har dess miljöpåverkan blivit mer uppenbar. Eftersom dagens textilproduktion har negativa konsekvenser under produktion, användande, såväl som vid avfallshantering, så finns det ett behov av att hitta effektiva metoder för att ta tillvara på de resurser som investerats under produktionen. Idag förbränns eller deponeras textilaAs the production of textiles has increased over the years, the climate impact of the textile industry is becoming more evident. Textile production can have negative impacts on the environment, both during production, use and disposal, which calls for efficient recycling methods to recover some of the resources invested. However, textile waste is primarily incinerated or landfilled, which pose as

Uppsatsen undersöker hållbarheten i att äga skog som allmänning och utforskar ägandeformen som alternativ till det statliga ägandet av skog. Det görs utifrån tesen att ett gemensamt ägande i form av allmänningar innebär en mer rättvis fördelning av resurser från skogsbruket och att ägandeformen skapar större möjlighet till ett ekonomiskt, socialt och politiskt inflytande i sitt lokala samhälle. UpThis essay examines the sustainability of owning forest as commons and compare it to the sustainability of the forests owned by the government. I suggest that the former way of managing forest is more sustainable due to a more equitable distribution of resources from the forestry and that it creates greater opportunities for economic, social and political influence in the managing of the forest.

In the past people sought for information via libraries, travel magazines or were inspired by marketing the travel agency made in order to attract consumers. Before the Internet era one way communication was the right way to follow. Since Internet was developed two ways communication has evolved and people can talk to each other worldwide. The development of the two ways communication has created

Globally, suicide is a leading cause of mortality among teenage children and adolescents. Alcohol and other substances of abuse may influence both the decision to commit suicide and the choice of method. However, only few studies focused on toxicological findings in child suicides. The aim of this study was to map postmortem toxicological findings in child suicides in Sweden. Data on age, sex, sui

Sammanfattning Livsmedelsbranschen och vi konsumenter står inför en stor utmaning, att minska matsvinnet. Vi konsumenter har ett matavfall på cirka 95 kilo om året. Av detta anses ungefär 28 procent slängas av felaktiga grunder. Brödsvinnet uppgår mot 80 400 ton varje år. Svinnet uppstår i hela värdekedjan. En av anledningarna till det höga svinnet hos konsumenter är att brödet blir för gammalAbstract The food industry and we consumers face a major challenge, to reduce food waste. We consumers have a food waste of about 95 kilos a year. Of this, approximately 28 percent is considered to be thrown away on incorrect grounds. Bread waste amounts to 80,400 tonnes each year. The loss occurs throughout the value chain. One of the reasons for the high waste of consumers is that the bread

Uppvärmning av byggnader är en betydande del av Sveriges energianvändning, vilket gör värmepumpar till en viktig lösning för att minska både energibehov och klimatpåverkan. Prestandan beror dock på byggnadens utformning, isoleringsnivå och lokalt klimat. Tillverkares COP och SCOP värden är baserade på standardiserade test förhållanden som skiljer från svenska klimatet, vilket kan leda till överskaHeating of buildings is a substantial part of Swedens energy use, making heat pumps an important solution for reducing both energy demand and climate impact. However performance depends on building design, insulation and local climate. Manufacturer COP and SCOP values are based on standardized test conditions that differ from Swedish climates which may lead to overestimated efficiency. This thesi

The IELSG37 trial enrolled 545 patients with primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and demonstrated that consolidation radiotherapy (RT) can be omitted in patients with complete metabolic response, defined by the Lugano classification as Deauville score (DS) 1 to 3. This report evaluates outcomes after different frontline rituximab- and doxorubicin-based immunochemotherapy regimens chosen ac

Följande uppsats analyserar det straffrättsliga ansvaret vid olyckor orsakade av självkörande fordon. Dessa självkörande fordon styrs av avancerade artifi-ciella algoritmer som fattar autonoma beslut, vilket utmanar straffrättens grundläggande krav och principer. Bland annat blir maximet ”nulla poena sine culpa” (inget straff utan skuld) lidande när beslutsprocessen i gärningsögon-blicket saknar tThe following thesis analyzes criminal liability in accidents caused by self-driving vehicles. These autonomous vehicles are governed by advanced artifi-cial algorithms that make autonomous decisions, which challenges the funda-mental requirements and principles of criminal law. Among other things, the maxim "nulla poena sine culpa" (no punishment without guilt) suffers when the decision

OBJECTIVE: To describe the distribution of HIV-1 variants in population-based national surveys conducted in sub-Saharan African countries between 2015 and 2022.DESIGN: Multicountry analysis.METHODS: Sixteen population-based national surveys, conducted between 2015 and 2022, were analyzed. Survey participants were eligible if HIV genotyping was successful. In most countries, people with HIV (PWH) w

Background: Growing evidence indicates that young migrants are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, however most research has focused on instances of sexual violence occurring in conflict zones and during transit. Much less attention has been given to the vulnerabilities to and experiences of sexual violence among young migrants in Europe.Objectives: To understand the scientific evidence re

Lake–atmosphere carbon exchanges can be significantly affected by photochemical dissolved organic matter (DOM) mineralization. However, our understanding of how increasing allochthonous organic carbon input affects the photoreactivity of DOM per unit of absorbed incoming light is incomplete. Here, we measured the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light and subsequent photochemical DOM decay in 148 la

The present work describes the formation of low-aspect-ratio Ag nanoparticles (NPs) arrays by sequential deposition of Ag from different growth directions on a nanoripple-patterned Si substrate, produced by low-energy ion beam irradiation. It is observed that the growth of Ag-NPs on ripple surfaces is direction-dependent due to the asymmetric ridge of the ripple pattern. This asymmetric ridge can

Scorzoneroides autumnalis is a highly polymorphic perennial with several described infraspecific taxa, largely differing in involucre colour and indumentum intensity. Here, we examine the role of ecotypic divergence and phenotypic plasticity in shaping large-scale geographical variation in these characters. We collected phenotypic data from herbarium specimens and garden-grown plants of S. autumna

In recent decades, information technology has enjoyed an ever-increasing degree of influence upon society. The use of technology has proliferated, bleeding into all human activities, and now extends into the most private activities of individuals. Unfortunately the perpetrators of serious crimes have not missed the revolution. Technology has marked off many working terrains including that of serio

Sweden’s investment level has recently been the subject of keen debate. One fact that is often brought up is the fall in Swedish investment as a proportion of GDP (investment ratio) and that the current level of Swedish investment is below that of other countries. In the long run, low investment can weaken a country’s potential for growth. Although Swedish investment is comparatively low, Sweden i

The private garden is one of the most important sites for people’s everyday interactions with nature. Although sometimes just consisting of a lawn, a few shrubs and maybe a flower bed, it provides a number of situations where the owner has to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in relation to modern lifestyle. This paper will discuss different aspects of sustainability in
