Patients with dementia experience a steady deterioration in cognitive function that increases mortality and impairments. Moreover, dementia is also anticipated to increase significantly in prevalence as the world's population ages, placing a strain on healthcare systems throughout the globe. Hence, early identification and prediction of dementia are essential due to timely treatments, enhanced pat

The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

Climate change is causing unprecedented damage to our planet, requiring new tools and accelerated efforts to mitigate the adverse effects. Working time reductions (WTR) have long been proposed as a promising approach, yet first recently it is gaining increasing attention. The environmental effects from working time reductions, with kept wages, are however less studied. This paper adopts a qualitat

Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen att utnyttja sex sidoströmmar/exportströmmar från den svenska livsmedelsindustrin till livsmedel för människor. Sidoströmmar som inte är industriens huvudsakliga syfte men skulle kunna bidra med näring. I dagsläget går majoriteten av strömmarna till produktion av biobränsle eller till djurfoder. En litteraturstudie genomfördes där strömmarnas avkastning, egens

Since its inception, the discipline of sociology has struggled to bridge the gap between structure and agency. How is it that individuals can be free whilst also part of a larger context that determines their actions? This study aims to make a small contribution towards solving this conundrum. It departs from the theories of Habermas, Arendt and Machiavelli, and ventures into an archival study of

The main focus of this case study was to assess ecological succession and restoration success after the removal of Rosa rugosa. Plant species composition and moss presence, bare ground cover, and biodiversity indices were analysed to identify patterns and differences within and between the restored and an invaded adjacent area. The complete absence of R. rugosa in restored plots confirms the effec

Urban form strongly influences sunlight access, a critical factor for well‐being in Nordic cities where low solar altitude and short winter days limit natural light. Despite its importance, solar access is often secondary in planning, as street layouts are typically shaped by topography, traffic, and existing infrastructure. Although analytical tools and historical examples highlight deliberate or
