This work presents estimates of the emissions resulting from the production of white sugar and its by-products (molasses, pressed beet pulp and dried beet pulp) from sugar beet cultivation to the final product at the factory gate. The study covers the impact of global warming potential, eutrophication potential (freshwater and marine) and particulate matter. The analysis was based on detailed prim
Background Nickel allergy is the most common contact allergy, and a nickel salt is, therefore, included in most baseline patch test series. In the baseline series of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group and the American Contact Dermatitis Society, nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NSH) in petrolatum at 2.5% is included, whereas NSH at 5.0% is included in many other baseline series, such a
Background We recently identified an outbreak of occupational allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) involving workers of a Spanish company selling smartphone protective cases from a glue product. A chemical analysis of one glue sample revealed the presence of 4-acryloylmorpholine among other allergens. The same glue is also used to attach tempered glass protective cases to Apple smartwatches. Objectiv
Byzantium has played only a minor role, if any at all, in the Western appropriation of knowledge on Islam. One exception to this is the Panoplia dogmatike by Eustathios Zigabenos, active under and working on the commission of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081-1118). The Panoplia dogmatike ('Dogmatic Armoury') was a most imperial text, designed to support the emperor's fight against
Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising results in digestive endoscopy, especially in capsule endoscopy (CE). However, some physicians still have some difficulties and fear the advent of this technology. We aimed to evaluate the perceptions and current sentiments toward the use of AI in CE. An online survey questionnaire was sent to an audience of gastroenterologists. In addition, several
Background: Data in Ethiopia on the epidemiology of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and subtypes among influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) cases is limited. Here, we assessed the epidemiology of RSV and its subtypes among the pediatric and adult ILI /SARI cases in Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted prospective, multicenter facility-based study from May 2023 t
Although financial stressors are implicated as risk factors for suicidal behavior, these associations might be confounded by other factors. Furthermore, a move toward high-risk subgroup definition is necessary. The authors used Swedish national registry data to examine the associations between receipt of social welfare, unemployment benefits, or early retirement (N = 627,745-2,260,753) with suicid
Stora sektorsövergripande samverkansprojekt har blivit på modet vad gäller att komma tillrätta med ökad segregation inom svenska förorter. För att åstadkomma långsiktig systemförändring förespråkas en omvandling från projektbaserade arbetssätt till strategisk samverkan där förortssituationen möts i hela sin komplexitet. Dessa så kallade wicked problems, som karakteriseras av problemställningar utaCross sector collaborations with multiple stakeholders are on the rise when it comes to dealing with segregation in Swedish suburbs. To achieve long-term systemic change, project-based interventions are slowly giving way to joint initiatives of a more strategic character, which target the situation of the suburbs in all of their complexity. These so-called wicked problems, characterized by problem
Aggression är ett utåtagerande beteende som orsakar skada och lidande världen över. Disinhibition antas spela en central roll i alla former av utåtagerande beteenden.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka relationen Aggression is an externalizing behaviour that causes harm and suffering across the globe. Disinhibition is believed to play a central role in all forms of externalizing behaviours. Studies on aggression have found a link between empathy and aggression, however to our knowledge no previous studies have investigated whether empathy moderates the link between disinhibition and aggression. The purpose

This thesis consists of the development of a concept for a new product, the primary purpose of which is to quickly and easily attach legally required tags to the ears of livestock pigs. The project was undertaken at Attention, a product development company based in Copenhagen. For reasons of food safety, EU regulation stipulates that all pigs that are moved from their place of birth must be tagged
Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon.

Water hardness is caused by magnesium and calcium ions (Mg2+ and Ca2+), and can result in formation of deposits, destruction of soap and increase of copper corrosion in old plumbing pipes. To soften the originally hard groundwater supplying 20% of Malmö’s drinking water, Bulltofta water treatment plant imports burned lime from Germany. Approximately 66 mg/L calcium is removed in the treatment plan

Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm
Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le
