The upcycling trend has received renewed attention in the past few years due to growing concerns for the environment related to increased resource consumption and waste volumes. Indeed, cities across the world are supporting resource upcycling initiatives by establishing do-it-yourself (DIY) repair cafes and makerspaces as a means to transform societies towards sustainable develop-ment. However, t
Risk and vulnerability assessments (RVA) are vital components of the work conducted by public agencies at different levels, as part of the processes for governing and managing risks in the society. In Sweden, public agencies at all levels are required by legislation to perform risk and vulnerability assessments within their respective area of responsibility. The present paper presents a study of h
Improving energy efficiency in buildings is an important part of the EU’s ambitions to address climate change and other environmental, social and economic challenges. This is a role that is traditionally taken on by varying levels of governments, each level addressing elements that fall within their areas of jurisdiction. In today’s increasingly decentralised and yet simultaneously complex, integr
Children are entitled to an economic standard that is comparable with the standard that their parents have. This principle is reflected in the child’s right to receive an addition to the average maintenance allowance, a so-called standard addition. In year 2013, the Supreme Court stated that a child who lives alternately with their parents are entitled to a maintenance allow-ance. By applying arti
Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative
Urbanization has led to a concerning decline in biodiversity within cities, necessitating innovative approaches and greening efforts. This project, named “Wild Growth” is aimed at combating urban biodiversity loss, and increasing pollinator-friendly areas, through the design and development of a flower seed spreader. Inspired by principles of simplicity, accessibility, and sustainability, the see
In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw
The search for greener ways of producing plastic has been a very popular field for the last few years. One avenue of research focuses on separating plastic production from the fossil fuel industry by finding bio-based alternatives. This is the case of the research conducted by our collaborators at Biotechnology who are trying to use Escherichia coli to produce 1,4-butanediol, a precursor to many p
The shared laundry room (the “tvättstuga”) is a good example of a service system, where we don’t necessarily have to own a product to benefit from it. If we can share, we can also reduce our consumption & impact on the environment. In today’s society (in Sweden) the “tvättstuga” is a service taken for granted when living in an apartment building. It’s a necessity in many cases - people rarely
Field-theory simulation by the complex Langevin method offers an alternative to conventional sampling techniques for exploring the forces driving biomolecular liquid–liquid phase separation. Such simulations have recently been used to study several polyampholyte systems. Here, we formulate a field theory corresponding to the hydrophobic/polar (HP) lattice protein model, with finite same-site repul
