Stålindustrin står för ungefär 7-8% av världens växthusgasutsläpp, och fordonsindustrin är en av dess viktigaste kunder. Fordonstillverkare som Volvo, Mercedes och Scania möter idag hårdare krav på att minska utsläppen i sina försörjningskedjor, genom regelverk i EU som förändras snabbt och ett växande tryck att ansvara för sina koldioxidavtryck. I detta sammanhang har grönt stål blivit en strategThe steel sector accounts for approximately 7-8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the automotive industry stands for a large part of its customer base. As Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Volvo, Mercedes and Scania etc., face tightening Scope 3 emission targets, evolving EU regulatory frameworks, and growing pressure to decarbonise their supply chains, the question of

This work reports femtoscopic correlations of p-−p(p‾-−p‾) and p−−d(p‾-−d‾) pairs measured in Pb–Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon sNN = 5.02 TeV in the ALICE Collaboration. A fit to the measured proton-proton correlation functions allows one to extract the dependence of the nucleon femtoscopic radius of the particle-emitting source on the pair transverse mass (mT) and on the aver

PurposeThis study investigates the anchoring effect in property valuation among students from different educational backgrounds, aiming to determine whether an engineering education mitigates cognitive bias compared to a social science education.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental design was implemented during the final examinations in property valuation courses at two Swedish universities.

The cardiovascular effects of coffee consumption remain debated, particularly regarding early-stage subclinical atherosclerosis. This study investigated the association between coffee intake, genetic predisposition, and the risk of subclinical coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in 24,835 participants from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS). Coffee intake was assessed via self-re

The current rise in geopolitical tensions has heightened the need to understand the intricate relationship between sustainability and security, particularly in the context of the Global South. However, existing academic literature has paid limited attention to exploring this interconnection. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the nexus of sustainability and security in the Glo

Plant essential oils are widely acknowledged for their insecticidal activities and synergistic interaction with conventional insecticides, but their insecticidal modes of action and the mechanism of synergy remain less understood. In this study, electrophysiological screenings on the larval central nervous system (CNS) of the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and the housefly, Musca domes

Northern Ireland is a conflict with a long and violent history, which often focuses on the armed struggle of extremist organizations. This thesis instead asks how is the conflict in Northern Ireland kept alive in the lives of ordinary people? The material used comes from books and articles containing interviews and descriptions of the environment and local perceptions. The theory used is the ethno

Stem cells are the first type of cells developed in an embryo. They have the ability to divide, self-replicate, for indefinite periods. Under the right conditions or given the right signals, stem cells can give rise to the many different cell types. The isolation of human embryonic stem cells (HESC) and the ability to cultivate them in a laboratory has given hope to treat diseases like cancer, Alz

Despite the ever-growing literature on various aspects of the Kurdish question in Turkey, there are practically no normative discussions of Kurdish demands for the public recognition of their identities. This is all the more startling given the ascendancy of philosophical accounts in the literature on minority rights. This article will try to redress the balance by proposing a normative framework

The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), the EU bodyresponsible for advising EU institutions on fundamental rights, is equipped with a Fundamental Rights Platform (FRP) to ensure an on-going and structuredexchange of information and feedback between the FRA and Civil Society. Whenthe FRA was founded in 2007, there was little pre-existing knowledge on how todesign such a Platform; he

BACKGROUND:Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been found to inhibit the development of colon carcinoma induced by chemical carcinogens with unidentified mechanisms. Sphingomyelin metabolism has emerged as a novel signal transduction pathway closely related to cell proliferation and apoptosis. We recently found that alkaline sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity was decreased in human colon cancer. The pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar äganderättens skydd enligt Artikel 1 första tilläggsprotokollet till Europakonventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna.The Nordic constitutions secure the right to property. A fundamental issue under the constitutional provisions guaranteeing the right to property has traditionally been how to distinguish between interference with property rights which come under their scope and those which do not and hence in principle do not enjoy any constitutional protection. This approach has its counterpart in American const

Although the vast majority of Syrians flee to neighboring countries, an increasing number is trying to reach European soil. On one end of the spectrum, individuals escape their war-torn country seeking protection elsewhere and on the other end the European Union (EU) and its Members States bear specific obligations for granting protection, stemming from their international and regional legal commi

Iran has one of the highest rates of road traffic accidents worldwide and according to a recent UNICEF report, the current rate of road accidents in Iran is 20 times more than the world average. Using extensive interviews with a variety of Iranians from a range of backgrounds, this book explores their dangerous driving habits and the explanations for their disregard for traffic laws. It argues tha

The Social Work Virtual Campus (SW-VirCamp) is an Internet based international pedagogical pilot project aiming at 1) developing a virtual campus for social work education; 2) developing a new e-learning module in Community Work and Community Development; 3) arranging a pilot course in the mentioned subjects. The project is financed by the EU Comission within the Lifelong learning ERASMUS program.
