Stålindustrin står för ungefär 7-8% av världens växthusgasutsläpp, och fordonsindustrin är en av dess viktigaste kunder. Fordonstillverkare som Volvo, Mercedes och Scania möter idag hårdare krav på att minska utsläppen i sina försörjningskedjor, genom regelverk i EU som förändras snabbt och ett växande tryck att ansvara för sina koldioxidavtryck. I detta sammanhang har grönt stål blivit en strategThe steel sector accounts for approximately 7-8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the automotive industry stands for a large part of its customer base. As Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Volvo, Mercedes and Scania etc., face tightening Scope 3 emission targets, evolving EU regulatory frameworks, and growing pressure to decarbonise their supply chains, the question of

Bidraget (bokkapitlet) ger en omfattande genomgång av AI, dess historiska utveckling, definitioner och rättsliga reglering, med särskilt fokus på EU:s AI-förordning. I bidraget beskrivs hur AI har utvecklats från teoretiska modeller på 1950-talet till en central del av befintlig digital infrastruktur, med tillämpningar inom både privat och offentlig sektor, inklusive produktion, sociala medier, di

Objectives: – To evaluate the prevalence of mood disorder symptoms and measure the quality of life in women with vulvar dermatoses attending a specialized vulvar clinic in southern Sweden. Materials and Methods: – A questionnaire-based study among consecutive women attending the vulvar unit at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at Skåne University Hospital. Sociodemographic factors were

Bladder cancer is a fast-moving and recurrent malignancy where survival hinges on early detection and precise risk stratification. The search for robust biomarkers is urgent, and CD44v6 has emerged as a compelling candidate. In this study, we explored the clinical and functional associations of CD44v6 expression in bladder cancer. Integrated analyses of patient samples and cell lines showed that h

Using historical DNA (hDNA) from herbarium material, we reconstructed two centuries of population‐genetic change in the critically endangered Swedish field maple (Acer campestre). We genotyped 148 herbarium specimens collected from 1820 to 2020 with 12 nuclear microsatellite loci and plastid haplotypes, and compared them with contemporary Swedish and continental reference data. Expected heterozygo

Background: Quantitative fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is widely used for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, with substantial variation in positivity thresholds across countries. This study examines how these thresholds affect FIT's diagnostic performance for detecting CRC and advanced precancerous lesions (APCL). Methods: We analyzed data from a single round screening of 7398 men and women aged

It is intuitive and well known, that if agents in a multi-agent system iteratively update their states in the Euclidean space as convex combinations of neighbors’ states, all states eventually converge to the same value (consensus), provided the interaction graph is sufficiently connected. However, this seems to be also true in practice if the convex combinations of states are mapped or radially p

We investigate the temperature-dependent complex dielectric function of bulk single-crystal In2O3 over the spectral range of 1–6 eV and temperatures from room temperature to 600 °C under high-vacuum conditions using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dielectric function was modeled using wavelength-by-wavelength and critical-point model dielectric function analyses. The dielectric function ex

Background: Violent Crime Convicted Persons (VCCPs) are at increased risk of somatic health problems over the life course. However, the topic remains insufficiently studied, particularly regarding interactions with healthcare services in high-risk groups over extended periods. This prospective study aimed to explore adverse somatic outcomes in young adult VCCPs with a history of imprisonment and t

Let Hd2 be the Drury–Arveson space, and let f∈Hd2 have bounded argument and no zeros in Bd. We show that f is cyclic in Hd2 if and only if logf belongs to the Pick-Smirnov class N+(Hd2). Furthermore, for non-vanishing functions f∈Hd2 with bounded argument and H∞-norm less than 1, cyclicity can also be tested via iterated logarithms. For example, we show that f is cyclic if and only if log(1+log(1∕

Despite the recent surge of wind and solar power, both technologies need to accelerate to meet climate goals. Yet, there are no robust methods to assess the likelihood of such acceleration. Here we show that renewable energy deployment follows a recurring pattern across countries with prolonged periods of relatively steady growth punctuated by growth pulses. Based on this insight and on observed g

This paper evaluates the multi-service operation of a heterogeneous second-life battery energy storage system (ESS) participating in the day-ahead electricity market and frequency containment reserves (FCR-N, FCR-D Up, FCR-D Down). A rolling horizon mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is developed to co-optimize market revenues, power schedule, and degradation, using linearized calendar and cy

This chapter examines elite polarisation as a challenge to governance in parliamentary democracies. We emphasise the distinction between ideological polarisation based on substantive policy disagreements from affective polarisation, characterised by identity-based animosity that creates barriers to cooperation even when policy compromise might otherwise be possible. While parliamentary regimes hav

The current rise in geopolitical tensions has heightened the need to understand the intricate relationship between sustainability and security, particularly in the context of the Global South. However, existing academic literature has paid limited attention to exploring this interconnection. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the nexus of sustainability and security in the Glo

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are crucial for cardiovascular health. HDL dysfunction is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and other diseases. Although HDL is often treated as a single entity, it comprises a spectrum of subfractions differing in size, structure, and composition. Understanding the ultrastructure and function of these subfractions is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanis

Aims: Acute myocarditis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by myocardial inflammation and oedema. Although cardiac lymphatic vessels are essential for fluid clearance and immune regulation, their role in modulating autoimmune cardiac inflammation remains largely undefined. We aimed to determine whether promoting lymphangiogenesis could mitigate inflammation and preserve cardi

Brazed stainless steel joints are critical in heat exchanger applications but often suffer from residual stresses and brittle intermetallics. Using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and fluorescence at the DanMAX beamline, we investigated Fe-based filler joints in SS316 under tensile loading. Elemental mapping and phase analysis revealed distinct interfacial solidification zones (ISZ), atherma

I den här uppsatsen argumenterar jag för att mode är ett symbolsystem som är mer likt språket än vad konsten är likt språket. Med andra ord så menar jag att mode överlag befinner sig närmare konsten än vad det gör språket, men på skalan mellan språk och konst så befinner sig mode snäppet närmare språket. Med utgångspunkt i Nelson Goodmans teorier om symbolsystem, Ingrids Loscheks applikation av Ni

There are arguments around the nature and boundaries of the moral domain, with this current paper aiming to delineate one of these arguments. With a basis in George Sher's (2021) discussion of cognitions (beliefs, fantasies, attitudes and some thoughts), the paper defends the notion that they are, in fact, morally relevant. By combining the logic of truth-aptness with the phenomenology of agen
