This contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence. The analysis focuses on the legislature's influence on the SAC and – on the other hand – the SAC and its judges’ impact on the legislature, especially the constitutional control of draft legislation carried out by the Council o
The decline in areal BMD (aBMD) in men may start as early as age 19, but it is debated whether proximal femoral strength follows the same pattern. We measured FN aBMD in a cross-sectional cohort of 1101 men aged 18-28 yr with two-dimensional DXA. Body height, weight, jump height, grip strength, and maximum knee extension torque muscle strength were measured with standard tests, after which BMI was
Steric clashes pose a challenge when exploring dense protein systems using conventional explicit-chain methods. A minimal example is a single lattice protein confined on a minimal grid, with no free sites. Finding its minimum energy is a hard optimization problem, with similarities to scheduling problems. It can be recast as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem amenable to
The rapid uptake of electric vehicles presents both opportunities and challenges for modern power systems. As charging demand increases, intelligent and data-driven approaches are essential to predict and manage future grid impacts. This paper presents a probabilistic and data-driven approach for generating realistic electric vehicle charging profiles, which can be integrated into probabilistic lo
The Million Homes Programme, launched in Sweden during the 1960s, resulted in the construction of over one million homes to address a national housing shortage. A majority of the houses consist of linear block buildings, many of which now require renovation. Moreover, climate change and increasing energy demands have put pressure on the building sector to reduce emissions and improve energy perfor
This thesis explores how Norwegian deep-sea mining (DSM) companies construct legitimacy through sustainability narratives during 2024, a year marked by both the opening and suspension of national seabed exploration. Using Critical Discourse Analysis within a Regulationist Political Ecology framework, the study examines how corporate actors position DSM as essential to the green transition. The ana
I denna studie har 88 körningar i en körsimulator analyserats i syfte att undersöka hur utformningen av en cirkulationsplats påverkar förarens val av ingångshastighet. Aspekterna radiestorlek, antal körfält och mötande trafik var av intresse och justerades i testerna. Syftet var att sedan ställa datan för varje parameter mot varandra och därmed kunna ta fram ett resultat. Simuleringsmiljön byggdIn this examination 88 test-drives in a driving simulator have been analyzed with the purpose to research if the design of a roundabout will affect a driver’s entry speed. The aspects size of the radius, number of lanes and oncoming traffic was of interest and were adjusted within the tests. The purpose was to collect data from every parameter and then compare them to each other to get a result.
A report reviewing the future role of measurements in estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This review provides expert analysis and a review of current and emerging technologies for monitoring GHG emissions in the UK. It answers several research questions set out by DESNZ officials and sets out immediate opportunities, challenges, and recommendations.
Amid the rapid expansion of the global digital economy, the European Union faces a fundamental tension between promoting digital trade liberalisation and safeguarding its regulatory autonomy. This thesis examines how policy space provisions within the EU's new, standalone Digital Trade Agreements (DTAs) with Singapore and South Korea relate to this strategic challenge. Using a legal doctri-nal
This paper challenges dominant paradigms of place marketing by foregrounding its role in the production of spatial injustice in urban consumption spectacles. Drawing on rhythmanalysis and spatial injustice, we conceptualize tourism-driven place marketing as a form of spatial production privileging spectacle, circulation, and visibility – often at the expense of everyday life. Based on ethnographic
In recent decades, global green finance governance institutions (GGFGIs) have developed diverse frames for understanding climate-related risks. Understanding these risk frames is crucial because they lead to distinctive “de-risking” policies, empowering different types of actors. This paper examines how GGFGIs produce different climate risk frames, and what the prevailing climate risk frame is and
Background: Physical exercise is part of the recommended treatment for individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to improve cardiovascular health without risk of increased disease activity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding facilitating factors for digitally-based HIIT among individuals with axSpA. Objective: Th
Background: Antithrombotic treatment might affect bleeding symptoms, identification of bleeding source and treatment for patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. This study aims to investigate possible differences in initial bleeding symptoms, identified bleeding site and treatment of patients with or without antithrombotic medication admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods: All cons
