Obesity levels in developing countries are increasing at an alarming rate, while “old” problems such as hunger and undernutrition still persist, creating a paradoxical situation of a double burden of malnutrition. Intertwined with new sustainability challenges such as climate change and land degradation, food, health and sustainability are interconnected in a complex web of relationships, spanning
Migration and mobility is an increasingly important topic within the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). The very first ENP Strategy Papers already acknowledged that perspectives for lawful migration and common efforts to combat illegal migration, as well as the establishment of efficient mechanisms for return, are crucial determinants for successful cooperation with neighbouring countries. With
So, what does a new life for the old fire station mean? It means that it is possible for a new generation to utilize the Gåsebäck landmark and historical building. The building should be attractive for the investors, for the city, and its inhabitants. The provided opportunities for the development of the building could be considered as a temporary solution for maintaining the history of the Gåsebä
Requirements engineering for commercial off-the-shelf software packages entails special challenges. This paper presents preliminary results from an empirical study investigating these challenges through a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews. The survey is exploratory with the objective of eliciting relevant topics for further research. Seven employees at five software companies w
Under efterkrigstiden skakades Stockholm återkommande av så kallade ungdomsupplopp, som av samtidens makthavare förstods som opolitiska, ja näst intill meningslösa i sin obegriplighet. Samtidigt låter händelserna oss resonera kring förhållandet mellan det offentliga rummet och människors kollektiva aktörskap. Genom att närma sig upploppen utifrån den politiska filosofen Jacques Rancières teorier o
BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy for people with an intellectual disability (ID) is resulting in more persons with cancer and a greater need for end-of-life (EoL) care. There is a need for knowledge of health care utilisation over the last year of life to plan for resources that support a high quality of care for cancer patients with ID. Therefore, the aims of the study were to compare (1) h
Perennial grain crops are gaining increased attention from researchers as one possible solution to agriculture’s many sustainability challenges. In the Sub-Saharan African context, perennial varieties of crops such as sorghum, rice, and pigeon pea have potential to provide numerous benefits for smallholder farmers. The introduction and adoption of new crops and practices is however a complex proce
Developing countries are giving increasing attention to industry development in renewable energy industries. Previous research highlights the influence of technology characteristics on such catching-up policies, distinguishing between complex products produced in small batches, and mass-produced simple products. We suggest that catching-up policies should move beyond this binary distinction betwee
Objectives: An increased interest in the phenomenon and process of compassion, in both clinical and non-clinical psychological research, has been seen in recent decades. In these contexts, compassion is frequently understood as a felt response to the suffering of others that involves caring and seeing the universal nature of human suffering, as well as an authentic desire to ease the distress. Bas
We outline a framework to study the use of mathematics in physics classrooms. The framework focuses on the relations made between Reality, Theoretical models and Mathematics. In this paper the analyses of one teacher and her 3rd year classes at secondary school are presented. The results show that phenomena in reality are often used as a short prelude to put focus on the relationship theoretical m
The deliberation that precedes or runs alongside the remaking of cities, buildings and landscapes seem almost by default to generate situations with unsatisfied stakehold-ers, neglected citizen groups or completely ignored voices. What does it mean to find, listen and respond to those concerned by alteration of built environments? Here, in this paper, citizen participation, its ideological and pol
• We aimed to capture possible insights from an AI diagnosing without human guidance.• We believe the result mainly aligns with previous knowledge. Though, vital signs and sex did not aid the AI diagnostics.
North - South collaboration between scientists and collaborators is increasingly prominent and promoted in research. This study examines power dynamics within a North-South research collaboration project conducted between institutions in Tanzania and Germany. The research design is guided by postcolonial considerations of knowledge production and seeks to amplify underrepresented voices from the S
Light absorbing carbonaceous aerosols produced from combustion span over a range of physicochemical properties. Soot is the most recognized species in this category and its formation process involves gradual maturation from amorphous young soot with a high hydrogen-to-carbon-ratio toward mature soot aggregates. In this work, the optical response of a single particle soot photometer (SP2) to electr
