As science and technology evolve, interdisciplinary targets are anything but static, introducing additional levels of complexity and challenging further the initiatives to break the barriers to interdisciplinary research. For over a decade the community of the Environmental Research Infrastructures, forming the ENVRI cluster, has been building strong foundations to overcome these challenges and be
There is currently a lack of studies exploring how transport investments and school admission policies in a city can affect the distribution of accessibility to schools. The aim of this study is to investigate if, for whom, and the ways in which, accessibility to schools can change following (1) a change to the city’s public school admission policy and (2) investments in public transport infrastru
A model for foot skin temperature prediction was evaluated on the basis of an experiment on subjects at -10.7 °C (light seated manual work) with winter boots. Insulation of the footwear was measured on a thermal foot model. The predicted temperature stayed higher for the whole exposure period and the difference between the predicted and the measured foot skin temperatures grew proportionally with
Packaging design is vital in the consumer product industry. This is why the recent consumer preferences for locally produced and organic food need to be met by product and package producers in the packaging design process. The purpose of this study is to understand how packaging design is managed in food supply chains with a special focus on organic and locally produced food in Sweden. It also ide
Glycoprotein B (gB, gpUL55) is the major antigen for the induction of neutralizing antibodies against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), making it an attractive molecule for active and passive immunoprophylaxis. The region between aa 552 and 635 of HCMV gB (termed AD-1) has been identified as the immunodominant target for the humoral immune response following natural infection. AD-1 represents a comple
Using a case study of the Búrfell wind farm project, a large wind farm proposed in the Central Highlands of Iceland, the authors attempt to provide new insights into the factors shaping subjective landscape perceptions and attitudes to renewable energy developments, and into alternative methods that may be used for their assessment. The research was based on an on-site visit and actual experience
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is considered an approach to include all students in the university. UDL is based on three main principles providing multiple means of Engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression. It is relevant for teachers and departments to focus on more flexibility for students to get the required information, expressing their th
OBJECTIVE: From 2012 to 2015, two Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and two Departments of Pediatrics at the University of Copenhagen implemented an English medium international project. The project allowed international students to work in pairs with local Danish speaking students in a clinical setting. The student cohort was supported by Danish doctors who were responsible for student-pai
Medical research generates a large number of publications with the PubMed database already containing >35 million research articles. Integration of the knowledge scattered across this large body of literature could provide key insights into physiological mechanisms and disease processes leading to novel medical interventions. However, it is a great challenge for researchers to utilize this informa
Knowledge of human fetal blood development and how it differs from adult blood is highly relevant to our understanding of congenital blood and immune disorders and childhood leukemia, of which the latter can originate in utero. Blood formation occurs in waves that overlap in time and space, adding to heterogeneity, which necessitates single-cell approaches. Here, a combined single-cell immunopheno
Context. The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby late K-dwarf transited by six planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from -1.1 to 2.9 R and orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All planets but the innermost one form a chain of Laplace resonances. Mass estimates derived from a preliminary radial velocity (RV) dataset suggest that the planetary densities do not
'Daniel Hjorth and Chris Steyaert set out to advance the study of entrepreneurship by refocusing the lens of discovery from economics, management and marketing to other paradigmatic stances in social sciences and humanities like anthropology and literary studies. The result is a provocative collection of chapters that inspire the reader to consider and explore new ideas and research practice that
Anthropocentrism and disciplinary research have not led to effective solutions to sustainability problems. A shift is required towards biocentric, transdisciplinarity-based solutions, to mitigate rebound effects and unintended, negative effects. In the field of Sustainable Supply Network Design, such shift implies on developing resilient solutions that maximize environmental benefits instead of mi
The concept of servitization has brought about a significant transformation in numerous industries, signaling a strategic shift from a focus on goods to a service-oriented perspective. With the ascent of “Games as a Service”, Service-dominant logic is highly relevant in understanding games as a service. where players emerge as co-creators of value, shaping their unique experiences and meaning in t
The pervasive issue of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) motivated the research for this master's thesis. During a previous professional experience at a chemical consultancy, insights were gained into the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulatory requirements, which informed the foundation of this study. PFAS are recognized for being high
