Version 3 av ecoinvent är den första databasen att erbjuda möjligheten att koppla samman livscykelinventeringar (LCI) utefter olika länkningsalgoritmer. Genom dessa länkningsalgoritmer tar ecoinvent nu fram bakgrundslivscykelinventeringar med både medeldata och långsiktig marginaldata (t.ex. över elmarknader i olika länder). Idealt sett representerar långsiktig marginaldata över elmarknader den ytVersion 3 of the ecoinvent database is the first background database to offer the possibility to link life cycle inventories (LCI) according to different linking algorithms. Using those algorithms, ecoinvent now provides both average and long-term, marginal background LCI data, (e.g. for electricity markets for different countries). Long-term, marginal data for electricity markets ideally represen

Ett för miljörätten tidigt uppkommet styrmedel som idag hyllas är miljökonsekvensbeskrivningen. Flertalet länder har infört MKB i sin lagstiftning och det har utformats internationella bestämmelser för gränsöverskridande miljöpåverkan. Även inom klimatregimen finns reglering för projekt i CDM systemet. I detta arbete har Sveriges CDM projekt studerats för att fastställa syfte med MKB inom CDM systA respected and early invention among the means of control in environmental law is the impact assessment. Numerous countries have implemented EIA in their national legislation and international treaties regulates transboundary environmental impacts. UNFCCC also contains EIA regulations for projects within the clean development mechanism. In this study Swedish projects are examined to establish the

Under de senaste 10 åren har ökningen av export från EU av farligt och ”ofarligt” avfall varit betydande. Rapporter visar att en övervägande del av EU:s el-avfall och elektroniska avfall exporteras till Asien och Afrika. ”Ofarligt” avfall, såsom plast och papper, transporteras främst till Asien och i synnerhet till Kina. I dessa länder finns emellertid ofta inte kapaciteten och tekniken att hanter

As more and more companies are realizing the importance to integrate sustainability with their economic prosperity development, Triple Bottom Line functions as companies' Polaris to guide them to incorporate "People, Planet" considerations into their "Profit" seeking goal. Corporate social responsibility initiatives are adopted by many companies. Among them, Cause Related M

BACKGROUND: Obesity, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is an established risk factor for 13 cancers. We aimed to identify further potential obesity-related cancers and to quantify their association with BMI relative to that of established obesity-related cancers.METHODS: Using Cox regression models on 4,142,349 individuals in Sweden (mean age 27.1 years at weight measurement), we calculated hazar

Background: In Europe, approximately 291,000 cardiac arrests occur annually. Despite critical care therapy, hospital mortality remains high. This systematic review assessed whether, in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, any drug therapy, compared to placebo or usual care, improves outcomes. Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and The Interna

IMPORTANCE: Life expectancy is a composite health measure reflecting acute and life-course exposures. Identifying conditions behind disparities in life expectancy can guide policy, planning, and financing to battle the most urgent health problems.OBJECTIVE: To examine the contribution of 33 causes of death to life expectancy disparities, highlighting 2 sets of priority conditions-8 infectious and

BACKGROUND: Gout is an inflammatory arthritis manifesting as acute episodes of severe joint pain and swelling, which can progress to chronic tophaceous or chronic erosive gout, or both. Here, we present the most up-to-date global, regional, and national estimates for prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) due to gout by sex, age, and location from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries

Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle. Accurate and reliable estimation of precipitation is essential for various applications. Generally, there are three main types of precipitation products: satellite based, reanalysis, and ground measurements from rain gauge stations. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Recent efforts have been made to develop various merging methods

The early Phanerozoic has long been thought to have witnessed a decline in the ocean dissolved silicon inventory, but direct, quantitative investigations of dissolved silicon concentrations are missing. Silicon isotope fractionation by modern siliceous sponges is known to be related to ambient seawater silicon concentrations, opening a potential window onto reconstructions of silicon concentration

Importance Longitudinal data are crucial for understanding rapid population aging in East and Southeast Asia, yet challenges in establishing and managing infrastructures remain undocumented.Objective To investigate challenges and adaptations across longitudinal aging datasets in East and Southeast Asia and synthesize stakeholder-informed processes and recommendations to guide future study design

This study analyzed daily temperature data from 114 meteorological stations in the Qinling-Daba Mountains from 1980 to 2017, focusing on core zones (CE I ≥ 2274 m, CE II 1321–2274 m) and peripheral zones (PE I 668–1321 m, PE II < 668 m). Using 15 extreme temperature indices computed with RClimDex, we assessed the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and response to climate warming of extreme temperatu

Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor

This Ph.D. submission deals with contemporary demonstration culture and political activism, seen as performance through performance. It consists of both a practical and a theoretical part. These are intertwined on various levels of the project. My submission, however, is made up of the two following parts: 1: A textual part, divided into 8 parts. Each part contains a script, an analysis and a nu

Based on trend, cross-cutting relationships and U-Pb dating, Precambrian mafic dykes in the Singhbhum craton, earlier collectively identified as ‘Newer Dolerite Swarm’ have been separated into seven distinct swarms, which are thought to be the plumbing systems for Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). These Singhbhum swarms range in age from ∼2.80 Ga to ∼1.76 Ga, and include the ∼2.80 Ga NE-SW trending
