Policy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU. To stimulate economic growth, the EU also plans for freight transport activity to grow significantly over the coming decades. In this paper, drawing on critical discourse analysis and Marxian geographical thought, I show how the argument for implementing sustainable freight is constructed in EU fPolicy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU.

Human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell lines CTRL-9-II and CTRL-10-I were derived from healthy monozygotic twin donors using non-integrating RNA based Sendai virus reprogramming and cultured in a xeno-free chemically defined condition. The established hiPS cell lines, CTRL-9-II and CTRL-10-I, are karyotypically normal, free from reprogramming vectors, display endogenously expression of pluripo

Free heme is released from hemoproteins during hemolysis or ischemia reperfusion injury and can be pro-inflammatory. Most studies on nephrotoxicity of hemolysis-derived proteins focus on free hemoglobin (fHb) with heme as a prosthetic group. Measurement of heme in its free, non-protein bound, form is challenging and not commonly used in clinical routine diagnostics. In contrast to fHb, the role of

A search for a long-lived, heavy neutral lepton (N) in 139  fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13  TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is reported. The N is produced via W→Nμ or W→Ne and decays into two charged leptons and a neutrino, forming a displaced vertex. The N mass is used to discriminate between signal and background. No signal is observed, and limits are se

In this paper we demonstrate how surface site specific experimental information can be obtained from free low nanometer scale clusters using photoelectron spectroscopy utilising synchrotron radiation. In addition, we show how it can be used to gain insight into the geometry and surface structure of the clusters. The present experiments were conducted on alkali metal halides, RbCl and CsCl, which w

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress might be considered the key mechanisms of aging. Insulin resistance (IR) is a phenomenon related to inflammatory and oxidative stress. We tested the hypothesis that IR may be associated with cellular senescence, as measured by leukocyte telomere length (LTL), and arterial stiffness (core feature of arterial aging), as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave

Sweden and Norway are both Social Democratic welfare states where abortions are legal, however Norway has a conscience clause in its abortion law and Sweden does not. This provides for a puzzle as well as research questions aimed at understanding how the debates in Sweden and Norway differ and if there is any difference over time as well. Since this also raises the question of why they differ an a

This paper explores the effects of co-payment price reduction to zero for prescribed pharmaceuticals on the volume of medicine consumed and the price elasticity for youths. Data was collected from two Swedish national registries on pharmaceutical consumption and municipality socioeconomic factors for groups of ages 17 and 19, from January 2013 to June 2018. I use a difference-in-difference strateg
