Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have relevant positive and negative impacts on environmental sustainability on various levels: First-order effects such as increasing electronic waste streams; second-order effects such as improved energy-efficiency of production; third-order effects such as a product-to-service shift in consumption or rebound effects in transport. In the simulation
Cytotoxic eosinophil granule proteins are considered important in the pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases such as rhinitis and asthma. To explore the cellular mechanisms behind eosinophil granule release in human allergic airways, 16 symptom-free patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis were challenged daily with allergen during 1 wk. Nasal lavage samples and biopsies, obtained before and 24
An initial-boundary value problem to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, which consists of a hyperbolic and a parabolic part, is taken into consideration. The problem is discretised by a compact finite difference method. An approximation of the numerical solution is constructed, at which the difference scheme is linearised. Nonlinear convergence is proved using the stability of t
Fördomar vid rekrytering utgör ett stort problem för utlandsfödda personer i Sverige (Bromé m fl, 1996; Integrationsverket, 2006). För att undersöka namnets (utländskt vs. svenskt) betydelse för hur en arbetssökande (kompetent vs. inkompetent) uppfattas fick 116 studenter bedöma fiktiva CV:n. Hälften av försökspersonerna gjorde sina skattningar under omständigheter där jämställdhet betonades och h
LevMacinstrumentet är ett analysinstrument under utveckling som utnyttjar leviterade droppar på 100 nl ? 2 ?l. Genom att använda leviterade droppar med den omgivande atmosfären som enda kontaktyta, undviker LevMac?en de vanligaste problemen associerade med miniatyrisering av analytiska tekniker, t.ex. kontaminering av provet genom desorption från provbehållaren eller andra gränsytor, adsorption av
Accurate detection and identification are essential components for epidemiological, ecological, and evolutionary surveys of avian haemosporidian parasites. Microscopy has been used for more than 100 years to detect and identify these parasites; however, this technique requires considerable training and high-level expertise. Several PCR methods with highly sensitive and specific detection capabilit
The dynamics of ethanol production/consumption in baker's yeast were studied under feed- rate controlled conditions. The yeast was grown on molasses in an 8-l fed-batch reactor and experiments were done at cell concentrations between 5 and 65 g l−1. Small changes in the feed rate were made around a feed rate corresponding to the critical growth rate, at which the yeast cell metabolism switches bet
Syfte: Traumatiska hjärnskador (TBI) är vanligt förekommande och förekomsten av rapporterade hjärnskakningar ökar successivt inom samtliga samhällsgrupper. Vikten av att erbjuda en mer omfattande, holistisk vård blir allt mer framträdande, inklusive vid vård av hjärnskakningar och hjärnskador. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att granska och analysera den evidens som än så länge finns kring an
Enligt Högsta förvaltningsdomstolens bedömning i HFD 2022 ref. 10 ska yrkanden om ersättning för rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsmål avvisas framöver. Samtidigt har såväl Högsta domstolen som Högsta förvaltnings-domstolen uttalat att det i vissa situationer kan stå i strid med rätten till en rättvis rättegång om en enskild inte ges en möjlighet till kostnadsersättning. Högsta förvaltningsdomstolAccording to the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court's judgement in the case HFD 2022 ref. 10, claims for reimbursement of legal costs in administrative cases should be rejected in future. At the same time, both the Swedish Supreme Court and the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court have stated that in certain situations it may be contrary to the right to a fair trial if an individual is not g
As demands and expectations for public welfare increase, public actors seek alternative, innovative, and experimental solutions to address these increasingly complex issues. The regulatory sandbox is in this context recognized as an innovative, private-public collaborative experiment designed to develop legislation and its application in tandem with new technologies. However, as regulatory sa
This thesis reviews Colombia's waste management policies, decrees, and laws to scrutinize the country's discourses on waste management and their potential impact on waste pickers. Employing critical discourse analysis and Bacchi's What's the Problem Represented to be? (WPR) approach, the study critically examines these discourses. It identifies the prevailing discourse of free comp
Urban climate neutrality has emerged as a critical goal for sustainable urban development, with the European Union’s Cities Mission aiming to achieve 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. However, the term “climate neutrality” holds diverse interpretations among stakeholders, leading to inconsistencies and potential negative outcomes. This study investigates the dominant sociotechnical ima
Fjärrvärme har använts länge i Sverige och förser idag mer än hälften av alla svenska bostäder med bostadsuppvärmning. Nätverken som används har byggts ut sedan 1950-talet och har i många fall passerat sin tekniska livslängd. Att byta alla svenska fjärrvärmeledningar är dyrt och i många fall onödigt eftersom många ledningar fortfarande fungerar bra. Eftersom ledningarna, väl nedgrävda, inte kan ob
Swedish Title: En Ny Era för Ett Nytt Burma: Avkoloniseringens Diskurs och Nationens Strävan i Burma efter Andra Världskriget This study explores the nature of the nationalist discourse in Burma (Myanmar) in the short period of time following World War II but preceding Burma’s declaration of independence on the 4th of January, 1948. Burma, then a British colony in Southeast Asia, had been promised
In the capitalist system, there is a need to envision alternatives that advocate for a more just and sustainable world. Alternative scholarships, such as degrowth, aim to counter the hegemonic narrative of food commodification by promoting practices that put social and environmental well-being at the forefront. This ethnographic research outlines the alternative strategies of tackling food waste a
