Urban areas provide a promising context for upcycling due to the concentration of consumers and existence of bulky waste resources. Hence, upcycling initiatives emerge across European cities, but little is known about their manifestations. Building on interviews with twenty-four stakeholders from the urban upcycling ecosystem and three focus groups sessions, a morphological model was created with
Background: Detecting and monitoring monoclonal free light immunoglobulin chains in serum is important for managing patients with B-cell neoplasms. Established methods have relied on immunochemistry, with monoclonality determined through an abnormal ratio of free kappa and lambda chains and an increased concentration of the involved chain. This indirect approach has limitations. Mass spectrometric
Previously proposed high spin states in Na22,23 are compared with calculations from the cranked Nilsson model including Strutinsky renormalization. High K rotational isomers are proposed for Iπ=6- in Na22 and 11/2+, 13/2+, and possibly 15/2+ in Na23. The positive parity yrast sequences in these two nuclei are analyzed in terms of the change from collective to single particle behavior at I=9 (22Na)

The aim of this study was to assess to what extent receptive vocabulary could be explained by morphological knowledge, language majority/minority background and socioeconomic status (SES) for Swedish 8–11-year-old children. A total of 89 children participated, of whom n = 47 were L1 speakers (language majority) and n = 42 were L2 speakers (language minority). Morphological knowledge (MK) was asses
Background: Kidney transplant recipients after kidney transplantation may develop transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS). Multiple studies have sought to identify risk factors, yet the findings remain inconsistent. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection were comprehensively searched to retrieve studies. The 1st screening phase required studies to be in English and evaluate pa
Hållbarhetskommunikation tar sig an några av samhällets mest angelägna och komplexa utmaningar. Denna avhandling fördjupar området genom att lyfta fram komplexitet som ett definierande kännetecken för strategisk hållbarhetskommunikation, ett perspektiv som i stort sett har försummats. Den utmanar den dominerande organisationscentriska ansatsen som betraktar kommunikation som ett medel för att uppnSustainability communication confronts some of society’s most pressing and complex challenges. This thesis advances the field by highlighting complexity as a defining characteristic of strategic sustainability communication, a perspective that has been largely neglected. It challenges the dominant organization-centric approach that frames communication as an instrument for achieving corporate goal
Background: Virtual imaging trials (VITs) are in silico studies that simulate medical imaging and disease processes, offering a cost-effective and reproducible addition to traditional imaging trials. While VITs are well established in breast imaging, most existing implementations simulate imaging based on static anatomical models, capturing only a single time point. This limits their ability to st

The use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in cytotoxic conjugates (radionuclides, toxins, or drugs) for targeting tumor cells is restricted due to toxicity in vital organs. Through improved tumor targeting, it is possible to administer larger amounts of such labeled MAbs, thus improving the ability to eradicate tumor cells without increased normal organ toxicity. Extracorporeal affinity adsorption t
Purpose: Hardly anything is known about the aetiology of thymoma. This paper presents data regarding tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption in relation to thymoma from the first case-control study performed on this rare tumour. Methods: A European multi-centre case-control study including incident cases aged 35–69 years with thymoma between 1995 and 1997, was conducted in seven countries. A set o
Background Using three independent methods, prior studies in Swedish sibling pairs indicate that environmental factors contribute substantially to familial aggregation for drug abuse (DA). Could we replicate these results in cousin pairs? Method Using multiple Swedish public databases (1964-2011), we defined DA using medical, legal or pharmacy registry records and examined concordance in full cous
External electric field is incorporated into the generalized Mulliken-Hush model and Marcus theory. With this new development, we have investigated the field-dependent electronic structure and rate of photoinduced charge transfer in organic donor-acceptor dyad using time-dependent density functional theory and extensive multidimensional visualization techniques. The model is used to evaluate the i
Active duplicate PgiC genes in sheep's fescue, Festuca ovina, are associated with a PCR marker of specific length (about 370 bp, of which 231 are in an intron). Using this marker, the frequency of plants with duplicate genes is estimated to be about 10% in a population from southern Sweden. The close molecular similarity between the electrophoretically different duplicated genes is in accordance w
A new Reference Material (RM) for radionuclides in mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Mediterranean Sea (IAEA-437) is described and the results of the certification process are presented. Four radionuclides (K-40, U-234, U-238, and Pu239+240) have been certified, and information values on massic activities with 95% confidence intervals are given for nine radionuclides (Cs-137, Pb-210(Po-2
Enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) obtained from minimally invasive blood samples has been well established as a valuable monitoring tool in metastatic and early breast cancer, as well as in several other cancer types. The gold standard technology for detecting CTCs in blood against a backdrop of millions of leukocytes is the FDA-approved CellSearch system (Janssen Diagnostics), which r
The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2012 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007. The document contains chapters on definitions and classification, we now also propose definitions for 'difficult to treat' rhinosinusitis, control of disease and better definitions for rhinosinusitis in children. More emphasis is placed on the diag
This thesis aimed to search for etiological clues about cancer of unknown primary(CUP) by gathering novel information. The Swedish national registries were used and CUP cases were identified according to the seventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases. A consistent increase before the late 1990s and a dramatic decrease afterwards were observed for CUP incidence among Swedes,re
