Just nu befinner vi oss i en tid som har nämnts som den sjätte massutdöden. Biologisk mångfald minskar med en oroväckande hastighet och detta har stora effekter på de ekosystemtjänster som vi är beroende av och ständigt nyttjar. För att som konsument kunna bidra till att denna minskning stannar av har flertalet hållbarhetscertifieringar introducerats på marknaden, vilka har som syfte att visa vilkThe purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent four different sustainability certifications set standards for conserving or promoting biodiversity. This is of importance since there are a large number of certifications of different kinds on the market and as a consumer it can be difficult to navigate among these. How these certifications favor biodiversity is important to inves

År 1994 trädde Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) (LSS) som ett resultat av regeringens utredning. Utredningen, som fick namnet Handikappreformen, kom fram till att det fanns stora klyftor mellan människor med omfattande funktionshinder och människor utan funktionshinder. Dessutom noterade utredningen att de insatser som erhölls enligt socialtjänsten och hälso- och s

The sex trade is a market in constant change and, as a result of digitalization, has been given different conditions in the form of new arenas, conditions, and risks. This study aims to shed light on how women who have lived in prostitution describe the sex trade, focusing on how they describe power and control in the different areas of the sex trade. We have taken our empirical material from four

In the background of intensifying global climate change and rapid urbanisation, the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events and the increase in surface pollution pose serious challenges to the environmental quality of water bodies. Moreover, with the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection, higher demands have been placed on water quality monitoring techniqu

Den samtida och framtida brassbandskompositionen" är ett examensarbete som syftar till att, utifrån ett tonsättarperspektiv, undersöka musik som är komponerad för brassbandstävlingar och identifiera de komponenter som behövs i både komposition och instrumentation för att skapa såväl en konstnärlig produkt som tävlingsförutsättningar. För att genomföra detta har författaren Daniel Möllås - tiThe contemporary and future brass band composition" is a thesis which, from a composers point of view, aims to investigate music composed for brass band competitions and to identify the components needed in both composition and instrumentation, in order to create an artistic product as well as conditions for competing. To accomplish this, the author Daniel Möllås - also a composition student

This article aims to undertake a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of SSAB's investment in green steel production under the HYBRIT initiative, focusing on the implications of operating within the EU Emission Trade System and an illustrative scenario employing a carbon tax. The study evaluates profitability and social benefits, utilizing time series models to forecast electricity prices in di

För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vid

The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet

This article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities. In doing so, the article introduces maintenance as its key concept, drawing on insights from maintenance studies and actor-network theory (ANT). Being both theoretically and empirically informed, maintenance means reconsiderinThis article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities.

As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental

PFAAs emission to the environment represents a potential risk to human health. Although, long-term global scale fate and transport models have been used to investigate potential trends in environmental levels, temporal trends and transports mechanisms of PFAAs are not fully understood. Due to high solubility in water, the behaviour of PFAAs in soil is important for environmental fate estimation an
