Share and repair organizations (SROs) have important implications for resource efficiency and socio-economic sustainability in cities, but their potential to contribute to long-term urban resilience has yet to be systematically investigated. Knowledge is scarce about how these nascent circular initiatives can provide building blocks for socio-economic recovery in the wake of recent crises such as
Several research studies have shown the importance of physical exercise. The global gym and fitness industry faced a transition from traditional gyms to virtual fitness training during the pandemic lockdowns. A proliferation of applications is available to provide different digital gym experiences. Advagym is one example that uses sensors to track and give feedback to gym goers. Sony's R&D Cen
Authors rely on a range of devices and techniques to attract and maintain the interest of readers, and to convince them of the merits of the author’s point of view. However, when writing a scientific article, authors must use these ‘persuasive communication devices’ carefully. In particular, they must be explicit about the limitations of their work, avoid obfuscation, and resist the temptation to
Background: Real-world data on demographics related to KRAS mutation subtypes are crucial as targeted drugs against the p.G12C variant have been approved. Method: We identified 6183 NSCLC patients with reported NGS-based KRAS status in the Swedish national lung cancer registry between 2016 and 2019. Following exclusion of other targetable drivers, three cohorts were studied: KRAS-G12C (n = 848), K
Transitions to low-carbon energy technologies and other forms of climate mitigation tend to involve disempowerment and environmental injustices of various kinds. This paper argues that such tendencies are inherent in the social rationale of technological systems promoted by the logic of the world market. The production and operation of technological artifacts are imbued with economic rationality a
De styrmedel som används i Sverige för att hantera övergödning från vattenbruket kan ha bidragit till att sektorns tillväxt är låg. Idag används främst fodertak, som anger hur mycket foder som får användas, och subventioner för att minska näringsutsläpp och öka näringsupptag från vattenbruket.Nya styrmedel för minskad övergödning kan öka det svenska vattenbrukets tillväxt. Exempelvis kan ett tak p
EU-kommissionen har lagt fram ett förslag på nytt energiskattedirektiv som innebär att yrkesfisket kan komma att betala bränsleskatt. Detta medför i så fall ökade kostnader och lägre lönsamhet för yrkesfisket inom EU. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur fisket kan anpassa sig till en bränsleskatt genom att på olika sätt minska sin bränsleförbrukning.Våra resultat visar att fisket kan mins
Stora tekniksprång i samhället ställer nya krav på arbetskraftens kvalifikationer. Efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft ökar men även nya lågkvalificerade jobb kan bli vanligare. Man talar om en jobbpolarisering där medelkvalificerade jobb ersätts av både hög- och lågkvalificerade jobb. Finns det jobbpolarisering i Sverige? Hur påverkas företagen och skiljer sig jobbpolariseringen åt mellan
The human brain is a masterpiece of intricate design and impeccable functionality. It serves as the ultimate command center for our thoughts, sensations, and actions, which define our very existence. This organ operates flawlessly, with billions of neurons working in perfect harmony to process information, create memories, and regulate our emotions. The brain's neural network is composed of trilli
BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Prognostic biomarkers are needed to identify SSc-ILD patients at risk for progressive pulmonary fibrosis. This study investigates autoantibodies measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and in serum in reference to the clinical disease course of SSc-ILD.METHODS: Fifteen pa
The project focuses on Sweden's growing parcel locker networks used for e- commerce delivery. These lockers have the potential to improve e-commerce logistics' operational and environmental performance if efficiently designed. To achieve this and promote sustainability in Sweden's e-commerce market, effective policy tools are essential.The project aims to advance knowledge on parcel locker network
BACKGROUND: Among infants with isolated cleft palate, whether primary surgery at 6 months of age is more beneficial than surgery at 12 months of age with respect to speech outcomes, hearing outcomes, dentofacial development, and safety is unknown. METHODS: We randomly assigned infants with nonsyndromic isolated cleft palate, in a 1:1 ratio, to undergo standardized primary surgery at 6 months of ag
Concern for the health of the natural environment is growing as humanpopulation grows. Recently, renewed attention has been given to the environmentalimpact of fires and the fire implications of sustainability choices made in the builtenvironment. To properly understand the environmental impact of fires, however, itis crucial that we can estimate fire emissions. This paper explores the concept of
This thesis explores the physics of nanostructures involving nanowires, quantum dots, superconductors, and topological insulators. These systems serve as excellent platforms for fundamental physics studies and quantum technology applications.The introduction contains information on the band structures of crystalline materials and transport phenomena in quantum dots. It is followed by discussions o
