Everyday leisure travel : Understanding car use for social and recreational trip purposes

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of everyday leisure travel for social and recreational trip purposes by describing and problematising car use for such trips. Leisure trips are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and reductions are needed to mitigate climate change. Technical solutions, such as electric vehicles, contribute but research has demonstrate

Vegetation runoff and sediment reduction benefits and influential factor in the Loess Plateau of China: A meta-analysis

The Loess Plateau is one of the most severely affected regions in China by soil erosion, where vegetation restoration is the principal strategy for soil and water conservation. Runoff and sediment reduction benefits (RRB and SRB) are key indicators used to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation measures. While numerous observational and experimental studies have explored the effects of different

Roadmap for AI Policy Research

This roadmap, developed through collaborative discussions at the recent AI PolicyResearch Summit, reflects a shared vision for advancing research on responsibleAI policy and governance. It emphasizes the critical role of policy research inensuring that AI development is guided by robust evidence, ethicalconsiderations, and a commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. By prioritizingtransparency

Daylighting and lighting : Under a Nordic sky

After nearly a century in which electric lighting has dominated interior building design, there is now a shift back to using daylight as the primary ambient light source. This return is driven by considerations of energy efficiency, environmental impact, and human health. Effective daylighting in building interiors not only supports low energy consumption, but also has the potential to reconnect p

Lower circulating mitochondrial DNA and increased mitokines suggest significant mitochondrial dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus with renal involvement

BACKGROUND: SLE is associated with significant morbidity, especially in the case of renal involvement. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in SLE and may be assessed by measuring mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and cytokines reflecting mitochondrial stress (mitokines). Circulating mtDNA is a promising biomarker in SLE and appears to be reduced in severe SLE. However, measuring circulating

Preeclampsia from a Patient Perspective

Background: Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality. Although antenatal care can identify women at risk, limited research has explored women's experiences with preeclampsia despite itssignificant impact.Aim: This thesis aims to enhance the understanding of women's experiences with preeclampsia in order toimprove clinical care, support, and mental health outcomes. This inclu

EXTRAPOLATION ON HARDY SPACES AND APPLICATIONS

In this survey article some classical results concerning real interpolation between Hardy spaces are briefly presented and then it is explained how those results can be used to establish Yano-type extrapolation theorems for Hardy spaces. Some new extensions and variants of certain classical endpoint theorems in harmonic analysis are obtained as applications of the extrapolation results presented h

Event Segmentation in Audio Description Reception: Impacts on Media Access, Inclusion, and Computer-Generated Description

Audio description (AD) serves a critical role in making audio-visual media accessible to visually impaired audiences, aiming to enhance their viewing experience and comprehension (Holsanova 2016, 2022). A central inquiry in the context of successful AD pertains to how the sequence of events unfolding in a film aligns with the verbal narration conveyed through AD (Vandaele 2012). Accumulating resea

Making Sense without Meaning : Christopher Alexander and the Automation of Design

In his contribution to the infuential “Architecture and the Computer”conference in 1964, Christopher Alexander summarised the reorganisation of intellectual labour that, beginning in the 19th century,became fnally concretised in the technologies of the computer. Inhis opinion, computers should be regarded as nothing else than hugearmies of clerks, stupid and without initiative, but able to follow

Ett nytt Öresundsavtal – En modell för hybridarbete i Norden

Det uppdaterade Öresundsavtalet mellan Sverige och Danmark markerar en modernisering av det tidigare avtalets regler i en tid präglad av förändrade arbetsmönster. Avtalet, som inkluderar både privat- och offentliganställda, syftar till att förenkla beskattning för gränspendlare och arbetsgivare. Tillsammans med Öresundsöverenskommelsen som reglerar socialförsäkringstillhörighet förläggs beskattnin
