“Urban Sharing in Melbourne” explores the landscape of the sharing economy in the city context and is a result of a Mobile Research Lab conducted by four researchers from Lund University in 2021-2022 online. The specific focus is on three sectors: sharing of space, mobility, and physical goods. For each sector, drivers and barriers to the sharing economy are explored, associated sustainability imp
Space Syntax theory is a methodological framework for describing and analysing the relationships between spaces and buildings. The fundamental building blocks of Space Syntax are called axial lines, which represent lines of sight from a specific point in space. These lines can then be used to quantitatively analyse the integration (or attractiveness) of an area. However, many public squares and tr
Purpose: The aim was to study the prevalence of hip displacements, dislocations, and the hip surgeries performed in a Finnish cohort of children with cerebral palsy not followed up in a hip surveillance program and to compare these with previous studies performed in Northern European countries before and after the implementation of hip surveillance programs.Methods: A cross-sectional study. A coho
AIM: To investigate the occurrence of pressure injuries (PIs) in children with myelomeningocele (MMC) and to investigate the association between PIs and orthoses use by disability-specific variables.METHODS: Population-based registry study including participants in the Swedish multidisciplinary follow-up programme for MMC. Risks of PIs were investigated by birth cohort, country of birth, sex, type
Six different films published on https://www.shareable.net/:-The roles of city governments in the sharing economy-Regulating the sharing economy in cities-How municipalities self-govern in the sharing economy-How municipalities provide for the sharing economy-How municipalities enable or disable the sharing economy-How municipalities govern the sharing economy through collaboration
Pain is a significant health concern for children living with cerebral palsy (CP). There are no population-level or large-scale multi-national datasets using common measures characterizing pain experience and interference (ie, pain burden) and management practices for children with CP. The aim of the CPPain survey is to generate a comprehensive understanding of pain burden and current management o
Stormfloder är tillfälligt förhöjda vattennivåer orsakade av meteorologiska fenomen som kan ge upphov till översvämningar utmed kusten. När havsnivån stiger till följd av klimatförändringarna och befolkningen utmed kusten ökar, leder det till en ökad översvämningsrisk. Risk kan beskrivas som en kombination av sannolikhet och konsekvens. För att kunna bestämma var som är säkert att bygga och hur be
A homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine requires closed-loop control of combustion phasing for reliable operation. Variable valve actuation (VVA) has previously been shown to enable cycle-to-cycle, cylinder-individual control with high precision, but suffers from a narrow operating range. Adding variable exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to the closed-loop control structure can exten
The global population living in cities is expected to reach nearly 70% by 2050. This trend in urbanisation will require massive amounts of infrastructure to be built from concrete and other natural and manufactured materials. In the second episode of our miniseries on the circular economy, we explore the business case for circular resource flows - such as concrete, wood, and glass - in the constru
Control of crop pests by shifting host plant availability and natural enemy activity at landscape scales has great potential to enhance the sustainability of agriculture. However, mainstreaming natural pest control requires improved understanding of how its benefits can be realized across a variety of agroecological contexts. Empirical studies suggest significant but highly variable responses of n
Push-pull technology (PPT) is a strategy for controlling agricultural pests, improving soil fertility, diversifying farm output, and reducing gender and age disparities. The benefits of PPT have been demonstrated in East Africa, but efforts to upscale its adoption can face many challenges. Agroecosystems comprise social-ecological networks, with interactions that transcend spatial and temporal sca
In September 2019, the third Global Climate Strike organized by the Fridays For Future (FFF) protest campaign mobilized 6000 protest events in 185 countries and brought 7.6 million participants out onto the streets. This report analyses survey data about participants from 19 cities around the world and compares it to data from an international survey conducted in 13 European cities in March 2019.
References to Jews and to matters included in Jewish discourse are commonplace in US popular culture in general and in US-produced hip-hop lyrics in particular. This article deals with the latter, and aims to analyse how Jews are represented there. It is suggested here that 1. these representations are rendered comprehensible by analysing them in the light of the term coined by Zygmunt Bauman: all
One of the indispensable applications of lipases in modification of oils and fats is the possibility to tailor the fatty acid content of triacylglycerols (TAGs), to meet specific requirements from various applications in food, nutrition, and cosmetic industries. Oleic acid (C18:1) and stearic acid (C18:0) are two common long fatty acids in the side chain of triglycerides in plant fats and oils tha
The #FridaysForFuture climate protests mobilized more than 1.6 million people around the globe in March 2019. Through a school strike, a new generation has been galvanized, representing a historical turn in climate activism. This wave of climate protest mobilization is unique in its tactics, global scope and appeal to teenage school students. Media coverage of these protests and high-level nationa
