Buildings account for 40% of energy use and about one third of CO2 emissions in the EU. The huge energy saving potentials offered by the building sector has been targeted by a large number of policy instruments. To improve policy intervention in this area, more information on the extent to which the applied policy instruments are supporting the development and dissemination of different types of e
Barn med språkstörning och barn med andra funktionshinder har ibland specifika problem med ordfinnande. Svårigheter med ordmobilisering (synonymt med ordfinnande) är inte detsamma som att ha ett begränsat ordförråd, utan definieras som de fel, eller betydande fårdröjningar, barn uppvisar när de fårsöker mobilisera ett ord som finns i deras ordfårråd och som de har använt åtskilliga gånger tidigare
The particularities surrounding the way decentralized multinational companies are structured and governed can determine the success or failure of integrating sustainability aspects into their units’ approach of doing business. The choice of pursuing a decentralized avenue over a headquarter-driven one in managing sustainability can have a significant influence over the coherence of Group1-wide str
This thesis looks at the issues of land grabbing and climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. Taking the situations of small-scale farmers – the dominant group of people population-wise and producers of 90 percent of the subcontinent’s food – as its focus, it also looks at how climate change might make land grabbing worse. It is argued that climate change will do so because of: decreased agricultural
Föreliggande uppsats ger inblick i processen att översätta en metod från engelska till svenska med allt vad det innebär av språkliga avväganden, kulturella anpassningar och tidsanpassningar för att få första etappen klar, själva översättningen. Dessutom tillämpas metoden på en grupp för att se om ytterligare anpassningar behövs till den specifika målgruppen. Denna tillämpning analyseras genom fråg
Understanding the structure-property relationship in electrocatalysts under working conditions is crucial for the rational design of novel and improved catalytic materials. This paper presents the Aarhus University reactor for electrochemical studies using X-rays (AUREX) operando electrocatalytic flow cell, designed as an easy-To-use versatile setup with a minimal background contribution and a uni
Changing rainfall patterns make farmers increasingly vulnerable to crop failure, income loss and food insecurity. Agroecology is proposed to reduce climate vulnerabilities of farmers, as such practices and social movement aim to create more resilient farm and food systems. It is however fairly unknown if, and to what extent, agroecological farmers are better able to cope with climate induced expos
Background: The spread of tau pathology closely correlates with the disease course and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Tau-targeting immunotherapies are being developed to stop the spread of tau pathology and thus halt disease progression. In this post hoc analysis of the ADAMANT clinical trial, we examined the performance of AADvac1, an active immunotherapy targeting the microtubul
Oxyanion holes play a major role in catalyzing enzymatic reactions, yet the corresponding energetics is frequently misunderstood. The main problem may be associated with the nontrivial nature of the electrostatic preorganization effect, without following the relevant formulation. That is, although the energetics of oxyanion holes have been fully quantified in early studies (which include both the
Background Most women who are high-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) positive in a cervical cancer screening test will spontaneously heal from their infection. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended by the World Health Organization as a triage test for cervical screening, however its accuracy as a triage test has been questioned. In this study, we aimed to examine the sensitivity
Background: The water supply in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, has been unstable and under strain for decades, resulting in major issues with drinking water quality, reliability, and acceptability. In 2018, between 25% and 30% of Gazans did not have regular access to running water. The progressive deterioration of water infrastructure and concerns over the quality of piped water have resulted in a com
Objective: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of meeting criteria for symptoms suggestive of early osteoarthritis (OA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to characterize the longitudinal changes in these symptoms during the first two years post-ACLR. Methods: We analyzed data from 10,231 patients aged 14 to 40 years in the New Zealand ACL Registry who completed
Background: COPD management is guided by the respiratory symptom burden, assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), or both. Research Question: What are the abilities of mMRC and CAT to detect abnormally high exertional breathlessness on incremental cardiopulmonary cycle exercise testing (CPET) in people with COPD? Study Design and Methods: A
A search for decays of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a light resonance, with a mass of 0.5–3.5 GeV, is performed using the full 140 fb−1 dataset of 13 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2. Leptonic decays of the Z boson and hadronic decays of the light resonance are considered. The resonance can be interpreted as a J/ψ or ηc meson, an axion-like particl
Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap kring musiklärares undervisning och bedömning av sång i årskurs 7–9 i förhållande till den nya läroplanen Lgr22, samt de metoder lärare använder för att hjälpa elever i sångsvårigheter att nå måluppfyllelse och utveckla tilltro till sin förmåga att sjunga; metoder som lärarens uppmuntran, kommunikation och verktyg för tonträffning. Olika perspektiv lyfts fra
The aim of this study is to examine how oral contraceptive pills contribute to normative notions about sexuality and how oral contraceptive pills can act liberating and/or limiting for its users. This is examined through qualitative interviews with young adults with experience of using oral contraceptive pills. The interviews were analyzed with queertheory and theories about disciplinary power. Th
The research project’s aim is to analyse and compare the evolution of the living standards and of the quality of life in the ten former communist countries that have joined the European Union back in 2004 and 2007. The project will include as well a survey, developed by the author in Romania, in order to test on real grounds the effects and impacts of joining the European Union on the everyday lif
1996 infördes miljöersättning för skötsel av landskapselement som ligger i eller i anslutning till åkermark i Sverige. Landskapselement i jordbrukslandskapet såsom öppna diken, stenmurar, åkerrenar och åkerholmar är viktiga småbiotoper för många djur- och växtarter. Idag (2013) kan miljöersättning för kultur- och naturmiljöer i odlingslandskapet (även kallat kulturmiljöstöd) sökas av lantbrukare sIn 1996, an agri-environmental support scheme was introduced in Sweden to compensate farmers for the maintenance of landscape elements located in or adjacent to cropland. Landscape elements in the agricultural landscape, for example ditches, stone walls, field margins and field islets, are important small biotopes for many animal and plant species. Today, farmers who remove bushes and trees (with
