This study aimed to determine urine pesticide metabolite concentrations using liquid chromatography and investigate associated exposure factors in a rural area of Bogotá, Colombia. In 2019, 231 urine samples were collected from children aged 7 to 10. Urinary pesticide metabolite concentrations were measured, and a questionnaire was administered to the children’s mothers to collect exposure-related
Klima is a carbon-backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021. Building on prior scholarship at the intersection of car
Dysregulation of alternative splicing is increasingly associated with cancer development and tumor progression. BCL2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) is involved in a wide range of biological processes and it is continuously being investigated due to its intricate function in tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, we identified two distinct, unbala
Abstract in French:Le système éducatif suédois met, depuis des décennies, l’accent sur l’importance de l’évaluation critique de l’information. Néanmoins, les approches d’évaluation de l’information mises en œuvre demeurent insuffisamment développées d’un point de vue analytique. Cet article porte sur deux défis essentiels auxquels sont confrontés les établissements scolaires pour préparer les jeunTeachers are now encouraged to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools to complete various school-related administrative tasks, with the promise of saving considerable amounts of time and effort. Drawing on interviews from 57 teachers across eight schools in Sweden and Australia, this paper explores teachers’ experiences when working with GenAI. In particular, it focuses on the large
The chapter will use examples from practices of electronic music to probe potential roles of automation. A central question is how automation can be understood in different contexts. The chapter brings up and analyses a selection of concrete engagements with technology in relation to the practices and genealogies of music making. What could be called provisional lessons from electronic music are s
To address environmental and climate issues, alternative technologies to fossil resources are sought after, both for the production of fuels and of chemicals. Algae appear as an attractive solution and have applications in the food, feed, energy or chemistry at large. A study funded by ADEME and conducted by ENEA, a consulting firm for energy and sustainable development for the industrial sector,
Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior
There is scientific consensus that limiting warming in line with the Paris Agreement goals requires reaching net zero CO2 emissions by mid-century and net negative emissions thereafter. Because of the entrenchment of current fossil fuel energy and feedstock demand estimated in almost all global modelled scenarios, 'abated' fossil fuel and industrial process and product use (IPPU) CO2 emissions, us
Mali and Somalia have both suffered determined Islamist-inspired insurgencies, and in both African Union-led peace operations have been a central pillar in political and security stabilization efforts. Despite challenges in transferring lessons between unique situations, the AMISOM experience can offer some useful lessons for Mali. We have identified several themes that helped to drive success for
Eftersom anskaffningskostnaderna för flygplan är så höga idag, finns det behov inom luftfarten av andra finansieringsformer än direkta köp. Exempel på sådana alternativa former är villkorade förvärv, leasing och inteckningar i luftfartyg. Dessa transaktioner är beroende av att borgenärerna ges en stabil säkerhet. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka det sakrättsliga skyddet av rättigheter i luftfarty
This article discusses the politics of “direct- action” against fossil fuels put forward by climate justice movements, focusing in particular on the tactic of the blockade. Drawing on the conceptual toolkit of Urban Political Ecology, the argument moves from a critique of the consensual regime of climate change governance to highlight conflict and dissent as central forces for the transformation o
This paper investigates the determinants of corporate cash holdings in the casino and gambling industry. The trade-off, pecking order and free cash flow theory are all popular methods for explaining the determinants of cash holdings for general firms. This paper examines traditional financial variables, macroeconomic variables and a specific time period variable for the effects of the financial cr

The increase in global competitiveness and the advancement of digital technology are compelling organizations to innovate by enhancing their product offerings with digital services. Although this phenomenon known as digital servitization is well researched in larger organizations, there is less investigation on how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) manage this trend, particularly in Sweden. This
This thesis explores how entrepreneurs experience and regulate fluctuations in passion, and how these affect their decision-making in high-stakes contexts. While entrepreneurial passion has been widely recognised as a motivating force, little is known about how its intensity fluctuates over time and how such shifts influence strategic behaviour and decisions. Drawing on emotion regulation theory,
Brazil’s National Strategy for the Impact Economy (ENIMPACTO), launched in 2017, is a public initiative that fosters an ecosystem where businesses combine financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. While the strategy has earned both national and international recognition, its implementation and the role of intermediary organizations in this process remain underexplored in a
