This chapter applies a critical feminist theory of intersectionality to analyse the climate policy efforts of two Swedish cities: Gothenburg and Malmö. As cities committed to ambitious climate goals, they are regarded as frontrunners. Actors in both cities acknowledge the challenges posed by organisational structures as they have made efforts to integrate measures, attempting to work more holistic
Thermal performance curves (TPCs) capture how population growth depends on temperature. When temperatures increase, such as during global change, TPCs may evolve to match new environmental temperatures. While previous studies mostly focus on population growth rate TPCs, evolution can also be strongly trait-dependent and require a multi-trait analysis. Here, we empirically tested how TPCs and multi
This paper studies the relationship between Thai-Cambodia border tensions and cooperation against online fraud from February 2021 to February 2026. Online fraud has become a serious cross-border problem in Southeast Asia, and Thailand and Cambodia both have reasons to cooperate against scam compounds and related criminal networks. At the same time, their relationship is shaped by a long history of
Social insects such as termites live in colonies in which cooperation is assumed by all individuals developing into castes to which specific tasks are allocated. Little has been reported about molecular aspects underlying termite caste-specific gene expression. Genetic regulation has recently been hypothesized to govern caste-specific traits and physiology in social insects. Cytochrome c oxidase (
DNA chemical and physical networks have been investigated with respect to their stability and swelling, and rheological properties. Chemical networks were prepared by cross-linking DNA with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE), and physical networks by association with cationic polymers. Both types of gels display strong elastic properties and have a shear thinning behaviour. Addition of cation
I kursen ETS170 kravhantering erbjuds studenterna möjligheten att genomföra praktikprojekt i samarbete med näringslivet. Praktikprojekten utgör 2 av 5 poäng och genomförs i grupper av 3-5 studenter. I dessa skarpa projekt tillämpar studenterna teorin i kursen på verkliga industriella problem och får genom stort eget ansvar prova sina förmågor att gå från teori till praktisk handling i en verklig i
Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid in the xanthophyll cycle, has been suggested to play a role in the protection against photodestruction. We have studied the importance of the parameters involved in zeaxanthin formation by comparing spinach plants grown in low light (100 to 250 mol m-2 s-1) to plants transferred to high light (950 mol m-2 s-1). Different parameters were followed for a total of 11 days. Our
This paper presents a computational study of the combustion process of wood pellets in a small-scale grate fired furnace. The objectives were to obtain detailed information on the combustion characteristics and NO formation in the furnace, and to examine the effect of secondary air on the combustion process. The simulation results were compared with experimental data in terms of flame temperature
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen presenterar en experimentell studie av urlakning av betong orsakat av vatten som tränger igenom betongen, eller av diffusion av joner till vatten på uppströmssidan. Urlakningsförloppet och dess effekter modelleras med finita-element-metoden.
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) derived from aquatic and terrestrial vascular plants provide a major energy and nutrient source for freshwater and coastal marine biota. The bioavailability of this material may to a large extent depend on plant species. In this study, we have compared the bioavailability of DOC and DON sampled in two distinct stands of Typha domingensis and Eleoch
The fraudulent treatment of cattle with growth promoting agents (GPAs) is a matter of great concern for the European Union (EU) authorities and consumers. It has been estimated that 10% of animals are being illegally treated in the EU. In contrast, only a much lower percentage of animals (< 0.5%) are actually found as being noncompliant by conventional analytical methods. Thus, it has been propose
En ockult våg svepte fram över Europa kring förra sekelskiftet. Poeten W.B. Yeats var, liksom den store auktoriteten på Tarot-kort A.E. Waite, medlemmar av the Golden Dawn, en sluten ockult frimurarorden, som hade grundats i London 1887 och som hade ett både sociokulturellt och litterärt inflytande i speciellt England och USA, men också på kontinenten. Sin inspiration hämtade Golden Dawn från renä
This study examines equity and governance issues in rural drinking water supply (RDWS) in Uttar Pradesh, North India, in the context of the current decentralisation reforms in the sector. It reviews the available literature on decentralisation and illuminates different perspectives and arguments to provide a rationale for understanding the reform initiatives in Uttar Pradesh. The study then analys
Trots att sjuksköterskor och läkare arbetar nära varandra finns det många uppfattningar och åsikter om varandra som inte alltid stämmer överens med hur det egentligen är. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på vilken uppfattning sjuksköterskestudenter har om läkare, samt om/hur denna uppfattning förändras under utbildningen. Materialet samlades in genom sex bandade intervjuer med sjuksköterskestude
Syfte: Att undersöka om det fanns skillnader mellan missbrukande svårt psykiskt störda kvinnor och män vad gällde initial karaktäristika och resultat efter 18 månaders samverkan mellan psykiatri och socialtjänst. Metod: Med olika intervju- och självskattningsinstrument mättes förändringar över tid. Resultat: Initialt deltog 358 patienter, 123 kvinnor och 235 män. Diagnosmässigt hade kvinnorna sign
Ofrivillig barnlöshet är ett allvarligt och vanligt förekommande problem, då man uppskattar antalet ofrivilligt barnlösa par till cirka 15 % av alla par i fertil ålder. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa parens upplevelse av sin ofrivilliga barnlöshet. Metoden var en analys av åtta vetenskapliga artiklar utgivna på engelska, och en avhandling utgiven på samma språk. Resultatet visade
