Artificial Intelligence is an expansive topic that is receiving considerable amounts of attention and funding for research, as it has the potential to have a wide-ranging effect on work, business, and society. Following from this, actors of all types, universities, companies, and others are conducting research into AI, and investigating how they can make the best use of the technology and develop

I tider av klimat- och miljökris måste vi förändra vårt sätt att leva för att bli mer motståndskraftiga och hållbara. Hållbara initiativ är viktiga för denna omställning och bör uppmuntras och stöttas av våra politiker och samhällsledare. Permakultur är ett av de lovande hållbarhetsinitiativ, som trots sin potential står inför flera hinder från kommunen för att kunna utvecklas. Den här studien undIn current times of climate crisis, we need to transform our way of living to be more resilient and sustainable. Sustainable initiatives are important for this transformation and should be encouraged and supported by our politicians and leaders. Permaculture is one of the promising sustainability initiatives, which despite its potentials, are facing multiple barriers from the municipality to devel

Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes

Eutrophication caused by nutrients such as phosphorus has become a major issue over the years. Dealing with this phenomenon is a major concern in many countries, and municipalities are establishing strict rules to cope with this problem in water bodies. However, the development of cities has a cost, and supplying the food needs of people is essential. In order to optimize agricultural lands, the u

The entrepreneurship ecosystem in Skåne, Sweden is dynamic with many activities and support for new ventures, and it boasts a wide range of actors. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how the process leads to the success of entrepreneurs in terms of how productive ventures are, how beneficial it is to entrepreneurs and whether there is economic and social contribution to entrepreneur

Broar över vattendrag utgör viktiga element i många transportsystem. Om broar kollapsar orsakas betydande problem med både direkta och indirekta kostnader för samhällsekonomin. Lokal erosion av botten kring broar är många gånger en huvudorsak till brokollaps, ofta i samband med extrema flödessituationer. Risken för sådan lokal erosion kan bli större i samband med en framtida klimatförändring, vilkBridges are important components in many transportation networks often spanning rivers and other water bodies. The failure of a bridge will cause significant direct and indirect economic losses to society. Scouring of the river bed around bridges is a principal mode of bridge failure typically associated with large floods. The risk of such scour may become higher with the emerging climate change t

Much of the income equalization that took place during the first half of the twentieth century was driven by shifts in the shares of the incomes of the rich, such as the top 1 percent. But the available studies using tabulated data have not been wholly able to account for the relative decline in top earners’ incomes. In this paper, we present the first evidence on the composition of the top groups

Predicting hydrodynamic forces from ship waves along a waterway is essential for managing a sustainable shoreline in fairways. In this context, a numerical model can be a useful tool for calculating ship waves in fairways with complex geometry. XBeach is a numerical model offering the potential to be a one-tool solution for simulating ship waves from the ship to the shore. However, XBeach has not

It has been shown that, after ambulance nurses administer intravenous analgesic drugs, patients delivered to the emergency department tend to complain of moderate to severe pain. Aims and objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the overall patient-perceive

A high turnover among principals may disrupt the continuity of leadership and negatively affect teachers and, by extension, the students. The aim was to investigate to what extent various work environment factors and signs of exhaustion were associated with reported intentions to change workplace among principals working in compulsory schools. A web-based questionnaire was administered twice, in 2
