Fresh Air Fresh Air?* Folke Tersman Stockholm University & University of Auckland 1. Introduction Imagine a closed room where the oxygen is running low. The people in the room are starting to doze off, and some are even on the verge of drifting into unconsciousness. When fresh air is finally let in, some are enlivened and energized, whereas others, who are in a sadder state, are less easily revive

The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to a more holistic understanding of youth experiences under the phenomenon of societal transitions caused by processes of modernization. Bhutan has been subjected to major changes in terms of economic development, political and societal transitions. The group mostly associated with this modernization and globalization process is the youth living in the
The Applied Nuclear Physics Group at Lund University has constructed a CANS (Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source). The CANS is based around a 3 MV, single-ended, Pelletron accelerator, which is used to impinge a 2.8 MeV deuterium beam into a beryllium target. The anticipated neutron production will be on the order of 1010 n/s in 4π sr, with future upgrades expected to increase neutron produc
The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C(CH4)) and hydrogen (δ2H(CH4)) in methane (CH4) from atmospheric air samples provide a tracer that can help distinguish the relative contribution of emission sources. These can be continuously measured at atmospheric monitoring stations by optical isotope ratio spectrometer (OIRS) instruments, providing data that is complementary to isotope ratio mass spect
Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant unmet clinical need, with > 500,000 reconstructive procedures performed annually in the United States and Europe and associated costs exceeding US$3 billion. Autologous bone grafting—the current gold standard—suffers from limited harvest volume and donor-site morbidity, whereas allografts show variable integration and carry immunological and infecti
I Sverige spelar förhandlingar mellan arbetsgivare och fackliga organisationer en avgörande roll för löner och andra anställningsvillkor. Anders Kjellberg visar i sitt kapitel att den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen kännetecknas av partsreglering (kollektivavtal) snarare än statsreglering (lagstiftning). Trepartsöverenskommelser förekommer också. Huvudavtalet 2022 mellan arbetsmarknadens parter ing
Avloppsreningsverk som hanterar industriellt avloppsvatten ställs inför särskilda utmaningar, eftersom sammansättningen ofta varierar kraftigt och kan innehålla toxiska ämnen. Störningar i reningsprocessen kan därför leda till ökade utsläpp och betydande miljöpåverkan, vilket gör det avgörande att undvika sådana störningar. Avloppsreningsverket vid Perstorp industripark renar processavloppsvatten Wastewater treatment plants that treat industrial wastewater face particular challenges, as the composition is highly variable and often contains toxic compounds. Process disturbances can thus result in increased effluent loads and significant environmental impact, highlighting the importance of avoiding interference. The wastewater treatment plant at the Perstorp site treats industrial wastewater
The military and defense industry is a historically stigmatized industry, but many argue that public opinion has changed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Organizational stigma, the widespread negative perception of firms due to their activities or the industries they operate in, affects a firm's relationships with external partners. While previous research has discussed its influence on bra
Study region: The Limpopo River Basin (LRB) is a transboundary catchment in Southern Africa, shared by South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. The basin is increasingly affected by climate variability, land-use change, and rapid population growth, with the Chókwe floodplain in Mozambique representing a hotspot of socio-economic vulnerability to floods. Study focus: This study applies the
To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed. Bio-based materials contribute to less emissions than conventional materials, like steel and concrete, but remain rather unknown to modern building sciences. This study aimed to increase kno To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed.

Lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service (LSS) till vissa funktionshindrade säkerställer att människor med funktionsnedsättning får anpassat stöd för att kunna leva ett självständigt liv och känna sig delaktig i samhället. Trots detta är diskriminering av ens funktionsnedsättning vanligt och beror på att människor handlar utifrån fördomar där okunskap är den främsta anledningen. I uppdraget av Lunds k
The aim of this paper is to analyze Peter Linde’s sculpture the Statue of Zlatan as a work of art in a public space and what kind of meaning is produced through its different kinds of expressions. Based on theories concerning public art, ancient Greek and Roman sculptural traditions and iconoclasm, this paper explains how the sculpture is drawing on older sculptural traditions to narrate the obser
How does democracy affect income inequality? Most would expect democracy to reduce income inequality. There is a general consensus that indeed democratizations in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century did decrease income inequality. More recent democratizations, those countries that democratized during the 1970s-1990s, however, do not seem to have had the same effect. The body o
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to
This master thesis addresses the electrically powered assisted bicycle (EPAC) as a future low-carbon commuting option and its market. The purpose of the report is to evaluate whether the EPAC can be used to improve the climate performance of the transport sector and to assess the outlook for the Swedish EPAC market. The EPAC is compared to the bicycle, car, bus and train and assessed thereafter. T
