Digital sustainability : Tackling climate change with bits and bytes

Recent studies suggest that firms can reduce their impact on the natural environment through the creative deployment of technologies that create, use, transmit, or source electronic data. While this work on digital sustainability is promising, so far it remained unclear how firms can leverage digital technologies as part of their sustainability management. We address this issue by providing an int

An investigation into the characteristics of reactive silicon pools of coastal marine sediments

Many studies use traditional alkaline leach digestions to quantify biogenic silica (bSiO2) in sediments. Studies from river-plume systems demonstrate this methodology precludes information on other operational Si reactive pools, missing potentially valuable information on early diagenetic products. We build on previous studies by broadly examining the reactive Si pools in Mississippi River plume-i

A potential for democratic emancipation? : Policy and discretionary practices in probation service

Hvordan kan kriminalforsorgens tilsynsarbejde integrere tilfælde af demokratisk emancipation (: frigørelse, selvstændiggørelse) og dermed inspirere til deltagende medborgerskab for marginaliserede klienter? Dette forskningsprojekt balancerer en interesse i socialt arbejde og dets muligheder for at levere emancipationgennem motivationsarbejde med en opmærksomhed på den senere tids udviklinger i skHow can offender supervision in the execution of state-sanctioned punishment integrate instances of democratic emancipation and thereby inspire participatory citizenship for disenfranchised clients?This project balances an interest in social work and its prospects for delivering emancipation through motivational agency, on the one hand, with an attentiveness to recent developments in Scandinavian

Collaborating for nature-based solutions: bringing research and practice together

Nature-based solutions (NBS) is a relatively novel concept and real-world application has only started to proliferate in cities, which motivates addressing early attempts of cross-boundary collaboration for implementing NBS. The aim of this paper is to reflect about the process of transdisciplinary research-practice collaboration on NBS and its associated learnings, potentials and challenges. To d

Markers of Atrial Myopathy in the General Population : Prevalence, Predictors, and Inter-Relations

BACKGROUND: Atrial myopathy refers to structural and functional cardiac abnormalities associated with atrial fibrillation and stroke, but appropriate diagnostic criteria are lacking.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess prevalence, clinical correlates, and overlap between potential atrial myopathy markers.METHODS: The population-based SCAPIS (Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study) prospectively

ALPACA - A kinetic theory Monte Carlo event generator for heavy ion collisions

Recent measurements of collective effect-like signals in small collision systems has highlighted the need for new models to explain these phenomena. One good candidate for such a model is the AMY QCD effective kinetic theory, which is valid for systems in- and out-of-equilibrium. This thesis is a collection of four papers which all investigate how to apply AMY kinetic theory to explain the evoluti

The main source of this article is based on the correspondence between former concentration camp prisoners: Melchior, Dziedzicka, Karier and Krzyzanowska, who were evacuated to Sweden in 1945, and Lakocinski, the founder of the Polish Research Institute in Lund and the editor of the influential weekly "Polak" magazine, addressed to Polish immigrants in Sweden. In 1945-46, the members of the Polish

Männen och målningarna : Nationalmuseum som konsekrerande institution 1885–1920

Doktorsavhandlingen ger inblick i en betydelsefull konsekrerande beslutsprocess inom det svenska konstfältet under perioden 1885–1920. Den analyserar de sociala strukturer som bar fram Nationalmuseums inköpsnämnds och museinämnds årliga beslutsförslag till Kungl. Maj:t om vilka oljemålningar, skapade av vid tiden levande svenska konstnärer, som skulle inlemmas i samlingarna och vilka som skulle exThis dissertation examines the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts (Nationalmuseum) as a consecrating institution of fine art, between 1885 and 1920. A time influenced by major events such as the First World War, Sweden’s industrial revolution and the advent of universal suffrage. During this period, the production and consumption of the Arts was characterised by rivalry between three fractions,

Night for Day

Night for Day uses the fake relationship between a mother and a son to think about what would happen if a communist revolutionary gave birth to a techno utopian, if gender as performitivity was thought through the lens of women making the political decision to live clandestinely in Portugal for a larger part of the 20th century and if the “Last Woman” were the fem bot from The Tales of Hoffman.Com

Sleep Patterns and Musical Chairs

Sleep Patterns and Musical Chairs takes the imaginary of the nation state – projecting the patterns that car headlights make on our ceiling at night whilst musical hallucinations of national anthems bleed in through the space. The architecture becomes a part of the piece through these accidental moving highlights that make us think of not being able to sleep whilst pointing towards a fake origin-

Identical

The opening seconds of Emily Wardill’s film Identical (2023) are simple and elemental: the seductive play of light on water. Or, put another way, the film begins by depicting the moment where one thing bends, reflects and distorts another – and is seen differently as a consequence. This jewel-like mirage is doubled across a second screen. Initially, each image appears indistinguishable from the ot

From 1945 to 1946, Zygmunt Lakocinski (1905-1987) served as the head of the Polish Research Institute in Lund. The Institute conducted interviews with newly arrived concentration camp prisoners, thus documenting the traumatic wartime experiences of repatriates. With the evacuated former prisoners in mind, Lakocinski founded and served as the editor of the Polish-language weekly "Polak". The collec

Sustainability Assessment of Electronic Waste Remanufacturing: The Case of Laptop

Over the years, electronic waste accumulation has been on a steep rise, parallel with the technological evolution of electrical and electronic equipment. Companies have adopted circular economy approach to overcome the emerging waste issue in the last few decades, where goods can return to manufacturers or remanufacturers. They can be used after certain modifications or remanufacturing processes.

Written products and writing processes in Swedish deaf and hard of hearing children : an explorative study on the impact of linguistic background

The small body of research on writing and writing processes in the group of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children has shown that this group struggles more with writing than their hearing peers. This article aims to explore in what ways the DHH group differs from their peers regarding the written product and the writing processes. Participants are all in the age span 10–12 years old and include:
