BACKGROUND: Globally, violence disproportionately affects young people, leading to injury, hospitalisation, death, social dysfunction, and poor mental wellbeing. Moreover, it has far-reaching economic consequences for whole nations, due to loss of productivity. Research suggests that attaining a higher level of education promotes factors that insulate youths from poverty and violence.PURPOSE: In t
We present a study of the evolution of cosmic filaments across redshift with an emphasis on some important properties: filament lengths, growth rates, and radial profiles of galaxy densities. Following an observation-driven approach, we built cosmic filament catalogues at z = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 from the galaxy distributions of the large hydro-dynamical run of the MilleniumTNG project. We employed t
Elastic turbulence has emerged as a promising method to enhance heat transfer performance at the microscale. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the overall convective heat transfer performance in curved channels, overlooking the fact that the chaotic flow intensity varies along the streamline, leading to diverse local heat transfer characteristics. In this study, we systematically in
Background: The continuous global rise of end-stage kidney disease creates a growing demand of economically beneficial home-based kidney replacement therapies such as peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, undesirable absorption and exposure of peritoneal tissues to glucose remain major limitations of PD. Methods: We compared a reference (standard) automated PD regimen 6 × 2 L 1.36% glucose (76 mmol/L
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Neutrophils are themost abundant innate immune cells of the body and play a key role in septic pathogenesis. During sepsis activatedneutrophils release web-like traps decorated with various cellular proteins known as neutrophil extracellular traps(NET). The primary task of NET and NET-associated
Failure in wood is commonly considered as a sign of properly chosen adhesive for wood adhesive joints. It is argued that as the adhesive is stronger than the surrounding wood material, no concern has to be given to the adhesive properties in joint design. However, by means of theoretical arguments in combination with experimental experience in the present study, it is stated that local bond line p
Background: People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have described their walking difficulties as linked to activity avoidance, social isolation, reduced independence and quality of life. There is a knowledge gap regarding predictive factors of perceived walking difficulties in people with PD. Such knowledge could be useful when designing intervention studies. This study aimed to investigate how perce
AIM: To investigate the changes in prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes in Sweden during 2005 to 2013.METHODS: We obtained data on gender, date of birth and pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes from national registers for all Swedish residents.RESULTS: During the study period a total of 240 871 new cases of pharmacological
The global tourism industry faces significant sustainability challenges, with environmental degradation and social inequities threatening its long-term viability. This is particularly critical for developing urban centres like Lagos, Nigeria, where rapid tourism growth has intensified environmental and social pressures. This thesis aimed to gain a better understanding of the role of Small and Medi
In the rapidly evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal tool reshaping how founders navigate uncertainty and allocate resources. Grounded in Sarasvathy’s dual logics of causation (predictive, goal-oriented planning) and effectuation (adaptive, resource-driven experimentation), this study investigates whether AI reinforces entrepreneurs’ default
The global industrial sector is a highly polluting and greenhouse gas-emitting sector. As industries increasingly explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation, questions emerge regarding its alignment with sustainability objectives. While AI is often positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation, its sustainable integration into industrial ope
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
Lifelong Learning (LLL) involves the formal and informal education and learning of individuals and by extension society in a bid to function efficiently in today’s knowledge world. This Learning is not limited by age, race, or other susceptible circumstances; it is instead encouraged and seen in the contexts of adult learning, continuing learning, and work/ professional learning. By de-facto, it i
Objectives: Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) - a labour-intensive and low-tech mode of minerals extraction and processing - has received increasing attention amidst global commodity booms and its concurrent expansion. Infamously associated with negative social and environmental impacts, responsible mining initiatives have emerged to promote, measure, and enforce sustainable mining practices
Fastigheter anses på grund av dess unika egenskaper att vara en av de bästa skattebaserna, och i takt med globaliseringens acceleration blir betydelsen av skatteintäkter från denna skattebas allt större. I Sverige har skatteuttaget från denna skattebas trendvis minskat med åren, något som sticker ut på ett internationell plan. Syftet med rapporten är att jämföra olika fastighetsbeskattningsmodellReal estate is regarded as one of the best tax bases due to its unique characteristics. As globalization accelerates, the importance of this tax base is increasing. In Sweden, the tax revenue from real estate has trended downward over the years, something that stands out internationally. The purpose of this report is to compare different property taxation models for detached single-unit propertie
