Problem: Scania Commercial Vehicles (Scania CV) initiated the project, as a result of a vision regarding future preventive maintenance (PM) programmes. This vision and its core concepts will impose great changes to the way PM for heavy trucks are viewed upon at Scania CV. Within this vision many questions have risen, one of which is: How does one measure the performance of a preventive maintenance

Kustnära putsade fasader ställda mot havet har av rapportförfattarna observerats vara i sämre skick än fasader med riktning inåt landet i samma miljö. Detta leder till hypotesen att saltvatten påskyndar nedbrytningen av kalk/cementbruk genom saltsprängning eller annan form av vittringsprocess. Ingen form av kemisk nedbrytning är rimlig då salt inte reagerar med putsens vanliga beståndsdelar. SvensOf rendered façades in coastal environment Rendered coastal-facing façades have been observed to be in worse condition than those facing away from the coastline in the same environment. This leads to the hypothesis that salt water accelerates the deterioration of render, either by salt blasting or through other forms of weathering processes. Since salt does not react with common render components,

Uppsatsen behandlar vilken betydelse FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter bör ha för barn i skoindustrin. För att besvara denna huvudfråga tar uppsatsen upp följande delfrågor: - Hur ser situationen ut när det gäller barnarbete? - Vad är FN:s Barnkonvention? - Vem har ansvar för att Barnkonventionen efterlevs? - Hur och var sker tillverkningen av skor? - Vilka rutiner har skoföretag när det gälThe essay investigates what meaning the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child should have to children in the shoe industry. To be able to answer this main issue the essay is divided into the following sub-categories: - How does the situation look like when it comes to child labour? - What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child? - Who is responsible for the obse

Energy metabolism dyshomeostasis is associated with multiple health problems. For example, abundant epidemiological data show that obesity and overweight increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and early mortality. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose, is also associated with debilitating complications, high healthcare costs and mortality, with cardiovas

STUDY QUESTION: Is the chance of childbirth, and risk of infertility, pregnancy loss and need for assisted reproduction different for women with asthma compared to women without asthma?SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with asthma had comparable chances of giving birth compared to the reference population, however, their risk of both infertility and pregnancy loss, as well their need for medically assisted re

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe condition affecting millions worldwide, leading to numerous annual deaths. The absence of significant symptoms in its early stages promotes high underdiagnosis rates for the affected people. Besides pulmonary function failure, another harmful problem of COPD is the systemic effects, e.g., heart failure or voice distortion. Howeve

The emergence of a hydrogen economy in Europe and the Nordic region represents one important pathway to decarbonization of critical sectors. This development is and will be shaped by distinctive national strategies that do not fully converge around shared objectives. The landscape reveals a complex interplay of technological innovation, industrial policy, and environmental ambition.Each Nordic cou

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Cardiometabolic traits are heritable, and some display parent-of-origin effects, which indicates preferential inheritance from one parent or parental bias. Most studies of these phenomena have focused on adult populations. We aimed to investigate the heritability and parent-of-origin effects on cardiometabolic traits in a birth cohort with serial measurements to determine whether

The increasing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable construction necessitates the need for building envelope designs that effectively balance moisture safety with sustainability. Improper moisture management in building envelopes can lead to severe consequences, including construction damage, decreased energy performance, and health risks associated with microbial growth. For instance, wate

IMPORTANCE: Breast cancer (BC), the most prevalent cancer among women globally, is a heterogeneous disease, with prognosis differing by estrogen receptor (ER) status. Having a family history of BC increases the risk of BC; however, it is unclear whether family history is associated with the prognosis of overall and ER-specific BC.OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a family history of BC is associated wi

Background: Following exposure to traumatic stress, women are twice as likely as men to develop mood disorders. Yet, individual responses to such stress vary, with some people developing stress-induced psychopathologies while others exhibit resilience. The factors influencing sex-related disparities in affective disorders as well as variations in resilience remain unclear; however, emerging eviden

Cerebrovascular pathology often co-exists with Alzheimer’s disease pathology and can contribute to Alzheimer’s disease-related clinical progression. However, the degree to which vascular burden contributes to Alzheimer’s disease pathological progression is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate interactions between vascular burden and amyloid-β pathology on both baseline tau tangle load an

One of the most important challenges for modern society is how to feed the world in a sustainable manner. Agriculture is an essential part of food production, but at the same time it has many negative impacts on the environment, through for example pollution, nutrient leaching, and greenhouse gas emissions, and it is a big driver of biodiversity loss. Organic farming is a farming system that in ma

Background: Maximizing the efficiency to screen amyloid-positive individuals in asymptomatic and non-demented aged population using blood-based biomarkers is essential for future success of clinical trials in the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we elucidate the utility of combination of plasma amyloid-β (Aβ)-related biomarkers and tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (p-tau2
