Digital transformation does more than change how public organisations work. It transforms what they consider worth pursuing in the first place. This article examines how digitalization reconfigures the values, expertise, and justificatory principles that underpin public services. Drawing on four years of qualitative fieldwork in the Swedish public transport sector, we show that a Public Transport Digital transformation does more than change how public organisationswork.

BackgroundParents play a crucial role in adolescent metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), providing support before and after the procedure. However, little is known about their concerns, experiences, and perceptions of the support needed from healthcare to assist their children.ObjectivesTo qualitatively assess experiences of parenting a child who underwent MBS as a teenager more than a decade ag

Denna rapport slutredovisar utvärderingen av Riskterrängmodellering (RTM) och Riskbaserat polisarbete (RBP) utifrån ett lokalt brottsförebyggande perspektiv. Testerna har genomförts under 2025 i sex lokalpolisområden inom ett projekt som drivs i samverkan mellan Polismyndigheten och Lunds universitet, reglerat genom en formell samverkansöverenskommelse. Rapporten är utformad i enlighet med BråsThis report presents the final evaluation of Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) and Risk-Based Policing (RBP) from a local crime prevention perspective. The pilot implementations were conducted during 2025 in six local police districts as part of a project jointly undertaken by the Swedish Police Authority and Lund University under a formal collaboration agreement. The report has been prepared in accorda

In recent years, academic literature on ‘decolonial peace’ has emerged as a critical response to traditional and liberal peacebuilding paradigms. Approaching decolonial peace from a political ecology perspective offers a powerful lens to examine the advances and challenges in building an agroecological system as part of the political project of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and

How is North Africa’s renewable energy transition reshaping local communities, landscapes, and power relations? Bringing together researchers from across disciplines and regions, an international workshop at Lund University explored the social, political, and environmental implications of large-scale renewable energy projects, with a particular focus on extractivism, environmental justice, and loc

This paper advances a posthuman perspective on place branding by reconceptualising branding as a distributed governance practice that extends beyond human stakeholders.While the governance turn in place branding has foregrounded coordination among institutional and social actors, it remains largely anthropocentric, treating nonhuman entities as passive resources rather than participants in territo

Tourism and place branding have long been criticised for their exclusionary tendencies, privileging dominant actors, simplified narratives, and human-centred imaginaries.These dynamics are produced not only through governance and planning practices, but also through communication, including branding narratives, visual representations, storytelling, media discourses, and digital platforms. In respo

This study examines how information logics shape self-drive tourists’ search, use, and interpretation of information during rural travel, focusing on the interplay between motivation and situational factors. While previous research has primarily addressed pretrip planning and destination-level systems, limited attention has been given to how information influences mobility in practice during trave

An industrial baking procedure for yeast-leavened whole-grain rye crisp bread was adapted to local laboratory conditions to study the effect of time and temperature of baking and the addition of fructose, asparagine, and oat-bran concentrate on the acrylamide content and color of the bread. Baking time and temperature affected acrylamide content that increased from 10 to 30 μg/kg of bread at the c

The world is facing a number of challenges related to food consumption. These are, on the one hand, health effects and, on the other hand, the environmental impact of food production. Radical changes are needed to achieve a sustainable and healthy food production and consumption. Public and institutional meals play a vital role in promoting health and sustainability, since they are responsible for

Free amino acids were extracted from cereal products using 50% ethanol to prevent solubilization of polysaccharides and other viscous polymers and to avoid starch gelatinization. The extracts were analyzed by GC after ion-exchange solid phase extraction and chloroformate derivatization using Ez-Faast technology (Phenomenex). Free amino acids in cereal products could be analyzed within 1 h of extra

Interest in heritage cereals is increasing among consumers, bakeries and farmers, and the trends point towards the local production of crops and connect to sustainability. The most known variety is spelt, which has opened up for old landraces such as Oland wheat. Heritage cereals have shown a higher resilience than modern varieties and have the potential to supply the market with alternative produ

The interaction effects of fermentation time and added asparagine and glycine on acrylamide precursors (asparagine and reducing sugars) in dough and content of acrylamide in yeast-leavened wheat bread were studied. Two experiments, with low and high levels of added asparagine (0-0.044 and 0.071-0.476 g/100 g flour, respectively), were performed. Glycine was added (0.042-0.380 g/100 g flour) only i

The effect of storage conditions on the residual acrylamide content of unfermented rye crispbread was studied in a model system. When milled samples were stored at -80 to 6°C for up to 224 days in double sealed plastic bags, no change in acrylamide content was observed. However, when the milled samples were stored under warmer conditions (20 and 40°C), a notable reduction in acrylamide was noted (

Acrylamide (AA) is a heat-generated food toxicant and from a food safety point of view, it is important that its intake to be reduced as much as possible, and that the quantitative analyses provide reliable and relevant levels. In an experiment designed with added AA precursors (asparagine and fructose), it was found that the yield of alkali-extractable AA in rye crisp bread was on average 37% hig

Since 2008, baobab-fruit dried pulp is listed as an ingredient on the European Union′s Novel Food Catalogue. By pulp production, 80% of the baobab fruit is discarded, forming side streams, namely, shell, fibrous filaments, and seeds. This study explored pulp and side-stream functional properties, including total dietary fiber (TDF), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), polyphenols, and water- (WHC) a
