Cities have for a long time been key actors in sustainable urban development, and in recent times, also for the sharing economy, as they provide a fertile breeding ground for various sharing initiatives. While some of these initiatives build on existing practices and infrastructures such as public libraries and repair workshops, others require the involvement of private companies, as in the case o
A sediment sequence from a small forest lake in southwestern Sweden was investigated to explore the effects of forestry and land-use on catchment erosion and delivery of organic and minerogenic matter to the lake. Catchment-scale vegetation changes during the last 1,100 years were reconstructed quantitatively at 50-year resolution using pollen analysis and the Landscape reconstruction algorithm (L
Objective: Randomized controlled trials have shown the effectiveness of Adalimumab in ulcerative colitis. However, real-life data is scarce. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and predictive factors of effectiveness in a large Swedish cohort. Methods: Retrospective capture of data from local registries at five Swedish IBD centers. Clinical response and remission rates were assessed at three mont
Capsule Little Ringed Plovers breeding in South Sweden migrate towards the southeast in the autumn, via the Middle East, to winter in Saharan and sub-Saharan locations or in India, while the spring migration is more directly towards the north.Aims To study the migration routes and wintering area of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius) breeding in South Sweden, and to investigate the migration
Background. Fast and accurate work-up is crucial to ensure the best possible treatment and prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer. The presence or absence of neck lymph node metastases is important for the prognosis and the choice of treatment. Clinical lymph node (N)-staging is done by palpation and diagnostic imaging of the neck. We investigated the current practice of the initial radi
By applying a novel approach to evaluate photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PFLIF) imaging, experimental quantitative information on the temporal in-cylinder distribution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine was extracted. The results from PFLIF were then compared to those obtained from chemical kinetics simulations using computational
Den här uppsatsen kretsar kring svenska kommuners drift av gym, en företeelse som gör att kommunen agerar som aktör på den öppna marknaden. I takt med att allt mer av den offentliga och den privata sektorn har smält samman så har också antalet konkurrenskonflikter som detta kan föranleda ökat. Det privata näringslivet har under årtionden påtalat att de upplever det som ett problem och att den offeThis essay revolves around Swedish municipalities' operation of gyms, a phenomenon that makes the municipalities act as players on the open market. As more and more of the public and private sectors have merged the number of competitive conflicts that this has caused has also increased. The private sector has, for decades, complained that it feels it is an issue and that the public sector is n
Detailed weather predictions are of interest e.g. to protect humans and society from damages caused by extreme weather. To do this today’s forecast models need higher resolution, i.e. less distance between measure points. So-called non-hydrostatic models are used when this distance decreases. The development of this type of models has progressed during the past 20 years due to more powerful comput
In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, strategic supplier selection is crucial for securing a reliable and cost-effective supply chain. This thesis examines the implementation of a capacity analysis and a should-cost model to optimize supplier selection and contracting for Northvolt, a leading battery manufacturer, as it expands into North America. With Northvolt's new
This thesis explores the development of a fibre-rich snack using baobab as the primary ingredient. Baobab has gained attention in recent years for its outstanding nutritional composition. The objec-tive of this study was to create a snack that has rheological properties similar to a specified reference product, a nutritional claim regarding its fibre content and has a pleasant flavour. Different s
This study examines the perception and acceptance of the Swedish tax paid school meals, its sustainability aspects and what factors that affect the students in their food choices in the municipality of Ängelholm from a student perspective. The guidelines for school meals in Sweden is for it to be healthy but in recent years also more sustainable. A common way to enact upon the sustainable factor i
In this study, we investigated the issue of segregation as a social problem and the effort made to address it at the local level, particularly by the Swedish government. The government had developed a long-term program focusing on areas such as crime, the labor market, education, housing, and civil society to reduce segregation and promote equal opportunities. Our aim was to understand how the act
The genetic underpinnings of ecological adaptations, such as host-plant use in herbivorous insects, is a vital area of research in evolutionary biology because they reveal how phenotypic variation arises and the extent to which this can happen through parallel mechanisms. This study provides unique insights into the genomic basis and gene expression changes in Tephritis conura's adaptation to
The Kaunisvaara mining district, located in Norrbotten in northern Sweden, hosts several iron ore deposits, of which Tapuli and Sahavaara are the most economically important. The bedrock in the region has been subjected to several major deformation phases, which has created a complex structural pattern on a regional and local scale. Previous structural geological studies of the Tapuli deposit have
The irresponsible use and premature disposal of office furniture, influenced by current linear business models causes a high environmental impact and depletion of natural resources. Innovative and circular business models can be applied in order to close, narrow and slow down resource loops. Implementation of circular business models nonetheless encounters a number of challenges. The main objectiv
Invasive alien species cause harm to native flora and fauna, and can ultimately via biotic interactions and alterations of the abiotic conditions change entire ecosystems. They have therefore during the last decades gotten more attention and are now recognised as one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide. When invasive plants establish in an area, one concern is that their presence can af
In the last decade, news reports about an overall doomed brick-and-mortar retail landscape have grown. The field of commerce has experienced a digital boom, causing an increased shift of businesses from traditional brick-and-mortar retail to the internet. This structural transformation is changing the commercial landscape, putting serious pressure on city centre retail and urban development. Store
As a country with a high proportion of population and land area in the world, China is in a stage of changing its economic development direction, from the previous extensive economic growth to the intensive economic growth. At the same time, due to the limited total amount of resources and limited environmental bearing capacity on the earth, certain constraints are found in terms of amount and str
The concepts of ‘Old School’ and ‘New School’, peculiar to hip-hop's lexicon, have long been framed by theories of subculture heavily drawing on a binary scale of authenticity and inauthenticity. This dichotomy is widely used to characterize a discursive conflict between the authentic aspects of hip-hop music and its excessively commercialized versions undermining hip-hop’s counter-hegemonic p
Background and purpose Several studies have shown that surgery with pre- or post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy reduces the local recurrence rate in rectal cancer patients. Preoperative evaluation of lymph node involvement is difficult but important for assessing the benefit of radiotherapy. Radiologists usually assess lymph node sizes and shapes to determine nodal involvement, but it can be diff
