Consumption of part of own-produced food is regarded as a sustainable approach to attaining dietary diversity and a pathway to improved food and nutrition security. However, empirical evidence on the relationship between production diversity and dietary diversity is inconclusive, with some studies demonstrating a positive relationship while others reveal conflicting results. Furthermore, this rela

he regional coastal evolution model Cascade was enhanced to better describe the transfer and storage of sediment. Focus was on the cross-shore exchange of material from the subaerial to the sub-aqueous portion of the beach and on shoal evolution at coastal inlets. Cross-shore material exchange now includes erosion due to wave impact and overwash, and barrier and dune build-up by wind. Cascade was

This article discusses a concept that institutions from the OECD to the EU increasingly employ in their response to the ecological crisis: The bioeconomy, wherein materials for economic activity would be bio-based and renewable. As a present-day project, the bioeconomy translates the critique of (fossil) carbon into patterns of (material) resource use and (economic) resource allocation, not least

Current standard wound care involves dressings that provide moisture and protection; however, dressings providing active healing are still scarce and expensive. We aimed to develop an ecologically sustainable 3D printed bioactive hydrogel-based topical wound dressing targeting healing of hard-to-heal wounds, such as chronic or burn wounds, which are low on exudate. To this end, we developed a form

Abstract in SpanishSe ha dicho a menudo que la Cronografía de Miguel Psellós, el prolífico autor del s. xi, es una obra historiográfica que semeja una novela y que Psellós gasta mucho tiempo en describir caracteres y en tomar actitudes irónicas respecto de sus protagonistas imperiales. Este artículo sostiene que una versión más refinada de esto puede ser vista en el libro sexto de Psellós a pro

Coarse-graining is commonly used to decrease the computational cost of simulations. However, coarse-grained models are also considered to have lower transferability, with lower accuracy for systems outside the original scope of parametrization. Here, we benchmark a bead-necklace model and a modified Martini 2 model, both coarse-grained models, for a set of intrinsically disordered proteins, with t

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is an alternative to conventional CFD to capture the detailed activities of the transport processes at microscale. Here LBM is used to model the hydrogen production by splitting water by incident sunlight over water covered Si-nanorods. The purpose of this study is, by a 3D microscale model, to investigate the transport and the formation of the hydrogen bubbles by el

Lysine acetylation occurs in many protein targets, including core histones, transcription factors, and other proteins. Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) is implicated in the progression and metastasis of various epithelial tumors. Because MTA1 functions as a transcriptional coregulator, much of its role in cancer promoting processes are likely to involve its ability to regulate the transcript

In this thesis a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is used to evaluate the net social benefits of a congestion charge in Malmö. A novel approach based on information from Google Maps is used to estimate the scope of present congestion issues in Malmö. Likely effects and the number of people affected is estimated using information from the trial in Stockholm, the trial in Gothenburg and a report on the f

In January 2017 the Swedish Prime minister announced at a conference in Sälen that for the first time in history Sweden now had a National Security Strategy and it was now to be implemented. In Sweden, ministers in the Cabinet are not allowed by the constitution to directly influence the work of Sweden’s governmental authorities. The institutions of the government are independent in the execution

The statistics shows that foreign-born women are the group where the lowest percentage of people are employed and the only group where unemployment increases in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to explore how foreign-born women’s experience of supportive and obstructive factors in connection with gainful employment in Sweden. Their experiences of the community's support and help to create
