Sustainable migration is the new objective of EU migration law, a term whose meaning and legal implications are unclear. Through a critical historical study of different areas of EU migration law, this book explores whether and how the past can guide the way for a contemporary understanding of sustainable migration, and it reveals the potentials and limits of this novel objective.
The connection with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), a key enzyme in pyrimidine biosynthesis, has attracted significant interest from pharma as a possible AML therapeutic target. We recently discovered compound 1, a potent hDHODH inhibitor (IC50 = 1.2 nM), able to induce myeloid differentiation in AML cell lines (THP1) in the low nM range (EC50 = 32.8 nM)
The EU Mission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030. However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate, and create new patterns of urban injustices, making climate justice a key concern in urban climate governance. Nevertheless, research on the integration of climate justice into urban mitigation strategies a
Introduction: Enhancing Quality of Life for Individuals with Stroke (EQL-stroke) is an international, collaborative multiphase project aiming to strengthen supported self-management for older adults recovering from stroke at home in Sweden, Latvia and the Netherlands. Existing poststroke pathways may provide insufficient support for self-management during the transition from hospital to home, and
Habitat area, forest characteristics, management practices and protected areas have the potential to profoundly impact biodiversity. This is particularly true for specialist species linked to structural complexity and old forest, like the lesser spotted woodpecker (Dryobates minor). This study examines how habitat quality and quantity influence the occurrence of this Near-Threatened species across
This article focuses on public participation in Sweden during the planning of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. The pipeline runs from Russia to Germany, and passes close to the Swedish island of Gotland. Results from a survey study conducted among 990 Swedish citizens, where 200 respondents are residents on the island of Gotland, reveal that there are differences between men and women in how risks wi
Background and purpose — Stress fractures of the femoral neck (sFNFs) are uncommon injuries. Studies on sFNFs are rare. We describe the demographics, classification, treat-ment, reoperation rates, and mortality in a cohort of sFNF patients from the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR). Patients and methods — We included 146 patients ≥ 18 years of age with an sFNF registered in the SFR between 2011 and
The chapter analyzes the results of an online survey conducted in Ukraine, Serbia, Georgia, and Montenegro in 2022. The chapter uses the convenience sampling technique to explore reasons and test the validity of the scales. We explore online practices and perceptions of online rituals to examine further whether online practices correlate with vaccination. The chapter shows that urban respondents f
The scientific literature distinguishes between primary or natural and secondary or human-induced salinization. Assessing this distinction is of vital importance to assign liabilities and responsibilities in pollution cases and for designing the best policy and management actions. In this context, actors interested in downplaying the role of certain drivers of human-induced salinization can attemp
Rapeseed is the second most cultivated oilseed after soybean and is mainly used to produce vegetable oil. The by-product rapeseed press cake is rich in high-quality proteins, thus having the possibility of becoming a new plant protein food source. This study aimed to investigate how the precipitation pH affects the protein yield, protein content, and emulsifying properties when industrially cold-p
This paper presents an overview of animals depicted within the Swedish con-cession area of Gebel el-Silsila and Shatt el-Rigal, spanning the Prehistoric to the early Islamic period. It includes commentaries on stylistic, technical and chronological phases of the rock art, and present an overview of distribution patterns as well as a relative taxonomic morphology for the more frequent motifs. Main
In a historical moment inundated by disasters, understanding and conceptualising thephenomenon is a matter of some importance. No framework for doing so has been more productive than that developed by Wisner and his colleagues. But their so-called ‘Progression of Vulnerability’ (pressure and release [PAR] model) framework was conceived before the onset of the climate crisis. And that crisis, as th
When the assembly force is applied, the gas diffusion layer (GDL) deformation is observed and the geometry and transport parameters are also changed. Accordingly, the transport processes and cell performance are affected due to the deformation effect. In the present study, a three-dimensional, non-isothermal, two-phase flow model was developed and applied to investigate the effect of GDL deformati
Background and purpose: Early this century, the high risk strategy of primary stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention for individuals shifted away from identifying (and treating, as appropriate) all at-risk individuals towards identifying and treating individuals who exceed arbitrary thresholds of absolute CVD risk. The public health impact of this strategy is uncertain. Methods: In our
The Máaz formation consists of the first lithologies in Jezero crater analyzed by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. This formation, investigated from Sols (Martian days) 1 to 201 and from Sols 343 to 382, overlies the Séítah formation (previously described as an olivine-rich cumulate) and was initially suggested to represent an igneous crater floor unit based on orbital analyses. Using SuperCam da
Online retail is playing an ever increasing role in business today and one of the critical tasks in online retail management is the understanding of how to create an offering that would yield maximum value for the consumers and differentiate the retailer from competition. If an online retailer understands how the online retail offering is perceived and evaluated by customers, it becomes possible t
One of the most debated political events during 2016 was the referendum regarding the United Kingdom’s future in the European Union. Despite the many warnings received from economists the UK voters voted for ‘leave’, paving the way for Brexit. This thesis reviews some possible alternatives regarding the UK-EU relationship post Brexit and concludes that the economically best case scenario would be
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationship between Free Trade Agreement and the Environment. To do so, the thesis uses a case study on the Asean China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) to analyse how free trade agreements can produce negative externalities on the environment. It will enquire on how free trade agreements exacerbate levels of re
