This study explores how traffic safety implementation at local level in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is characterised. By investigating interactions between traffic safety and other sustainability goals (synergies), as well as identifying contradictions between goals and conflicting interests (challenges), the study aims to pinpoint the main enablers for implementing traff

Alongside global acknowledgements of the gendered nature of conflict, the academic field of transitional justice is shifting towards the newly emerging concept of transformative justice. Within this, reparations are particularly seen as the most agent-centric tool for structural transformation. In northeastern Nigeria, the conflict between Boko Haram and the state has seen a prevalence of conflict

Preventing and mitigating damage to the surroundings arising from process safety incidents is an important aspect of process safety. Risk-informed or risk-based decision-making are cornerstones in most countries’ regulatory regimes for land-use planning. However, the design and implementation of the regulations vary significantly - from countries that have chosen a highly standardized set of rules

The conversion of lignin to potentially high-value low molecular weight compounds often results in complex mixtures of monomeric and oligomeric compounds. In this study, a method for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of 40 lignin-derived compounds using ultra-high-performance supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPSFC/QTOF-MS) has been

Background: Breastfeeding rates in Sweden are declining, and it is important to identify women at risk for early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding lasting less than two months postpartum. Methods: A population-based longitudinal study was conducted at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Six hun

Geocoding longitudinal and individual-level historical demographic databases enables novel analyses of how micro-level geographic factors affected demographic outcomes over long periods. However, such detailed geocoding involves high costs. Additionally, the high spatial resolution cannot be properly utilized if inappropriate methods are used to quantify the geographic factors. We assess how diffe

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers are a common and severe complication of diabetes mellitus. Standard treatment includes debridement, offloading, management of infection and revascularisation where appropriate, although healing times may be long. The LeucoPatch® device is used to generate an autologous platelet-rich fibrin and leucocyte wound dressing produced from the patient's own venous blood by

The purpose of this paper has been to study whether or not the Swedish language has any significant impact on immigrant integration and their psychic well-being in Swedish society. By adhering to the theoretical framework of Diaz, Gordon, and Heckmann for integration, and Antonovsky’s theory of salutogenesis, we’ve established our results using qualitative semi-structured interviews to get our emp

Gängkriminaliteten är ett omtalat ämne som det kontinuerligt har forskats om. Forskningen har utvecklat kunskap gällande varför individer blir gängkriminella och vilka faktorer som gör att gängkriminella är kvar i gänget. Däremot finns det mindre forskning om vilka insatser som är effektiva för att lämna gänget och varför. Den aktuella studien syftade till att sammanställa den internationella forsGang criminality is a much-discussed topic that is extensively researched. The knowledge gained from the research explains why individuals become gang criminals and which factors make gang criminals remain in the gang. However, there is less research on which interventions are effective for leaving the gang and why. The current study aimed to compile the international research literature on the in

Following the collapse of socialism in 1989, Eastern European countries experienced rapid socio-spatial reorganization causing a significant loss of urban greenspace (UGS). Greenspaces provide socio-environmental benefits, making them a crucial component of urban sustainability. This study explores the development of greenspace in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), which serves as a case study to understand disc

While AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, the legal frameworks of countries around the world still struggle to find the appropriate answer to uniformly deal with AI-related issues. This master thesis would like to discuss one of the legal perspectives that AI technology has drawn attention to recently - its relationship with copyright law. The main point of the thesis is to answer whether im

In this study, over 2000 Milky Way stars were analyzed in the [Mg/Mn] vs [Al/Fe] chemical plane to identify accreted stars. The Milky Way's faster star formation enriches disk stars with iron-peak elements such as Mn and reduces alpha elements like Mg. Accreted stars, originating from slower star formation rate environments, exhibit lower metallicities, reflected in lower [Al/Fe]. The study ev

The issue of corporate accountability for human rights has gained significant attention in recent years, driven by increasing globalisation, complex corporate structures, and the public’s growing awareness of the harmful effects of business activities. Alongside the rising prominence of human rights on the international agenda, the issue of environmental impacts of corporations has also become mor

Study purpose: The primary aim of this study is to explore the performance of different supply chain configurations made in response to various U.S. tariff rate conditions, particularly those impacting imports from China. Previous research has predominantly addressed this topic at the macro level, whereas this study employs a single-case firm, Nexus, to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the

This thesis aims to analyze the significance of the nickel ore export ban for Indonesia in the context of the global political economy, considering Indonesia's status as a Middle-Income (MI) country seeking to advance its economy. Drawing upon dependency theory and World System Theory (WST), Indonesia is assumed to transition from an MI country to a core economy by halting the export of raw ma

Chatbots blir alltmer ledande inom kundservice och kvaliteten på dessa digitala chatbots kan vara avgörande för kundnöjdhet och företagets rykte, vilket visar på vikten av att underhålla dem. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur företag hanterar användardata för att optimera användningen av chatbots i deras kundservice och i sin tur förbättra kundupplevelsen. För att undersöka detta

In Sweden, the municipalities play a key role in climate change adaptation since they have the main responsibility for the physical planning. One way for the municipalities to adapt the society to a changing climate is to use so-called blue-green solutions in the physical planning. Blue-green solutions, such as ponds, swales and trees, use underlying ecosystem services to deliver a range of benefi
