Iran has gone through a very rapid urbanization in the last six decades. The fast pace of urbanization of the country calls for an integrated planning to move towards sustainable urban development and resilient and livable cities. Despite five decades of history in preparation of urban plans and two decades of history since the introduction of urban management in Iran, the urban policymaking, in Iran has gone through a very rapid urbanization in the last six decades. The fast pace of urbanization of the country calls for an integrated planning to move towards sustainable urban development and resilient and livable cities. Despite five decades of history in preparation of urban plans and two decades of history since the introduction of urban management in Iran, the urban policymaking, in

Global policies, legislation, and eco-friendly initiatives have induced the steel industry to integrate sustainable development approaches. Sustainability requires all phases from raw material sourcing to transportation to waste and carbon footprint elimination—yielding positive effects. This research employs a two-step approach in sustainability. The first phase entails conducting a systematic li

Enzymes, as efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts, have gainedsignificant scientific and industrial attention for their mild operating conditions,high substrate selectivity and reusability when immobilized. Among them, lipasesdominate the global industrial enzyme market, catalyzing various reactions with afocus on substrate specificity and selectivity. This thesis investigates theoptimi

Complex metabolic diseases due to overnutrition such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease are a major burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Current research primarily focuses on disease endpoints and trying to understand underlying mechanisms at relatively late stages of the diseases, when irreversible damage is already done. However, complex interactions between physiological

BACKGROUND Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) for human use have advanced globally with the rapid adoption of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies in haemato-oncology. CAR-T cell therapy and ATMPs have unique, significant acute and chronic toxicities, and appropriate patient care is crucial. Significant challenges, including the need for nurse education and training, accompa

Road traffic accidents cause nearly 1.3 million deaths and around 50 million injuries each year globally. Most organisations generate travel and transport, and influence thereby traffic safety. In Sweden, 47 percent of fatal accidents in road traffic are work-related, and 36 percent are linked to a procured transport service. Effective approaches to managing traffic safety in organisations have no

Preemptive identification of potential failure under loading of engineering structures is a critical challenge. Our study presents an innovative approach to design built-in prefailure indicators within multiscale structural designs with optimized load carrying capabilities utilizing the design freedom of topology optimization. The indicators are engineered to visibly signal load conditions approac

Lead (Pb) is a global contaminant associated with multiple adverse health effects. Humans are especially vulnerable during critical developmental stages. During pregnancy, exposure to Pb can occur through diet and release from maternal bones. Apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) variants (ɛ2, ɛ3, ɛ4 alleles) may influence sex steroid hormones, bone metabolism, and Pb kinetics. We examined the interplay am

Similarity measurement has been a prevailing research topic in geographic information science. Geometric similarity measurement in scaling transformation (GSM_ST) is critical to ensure spatial data quality while balancing detailed information with distinctive features. However, GSM_ST is an uncertain problem due to subjective spatial cognition, global and local concerns, and geometric complexity.

ObjectiveWe examine the impact of stepfamily exposure on the educational outcomes of children, considering factors such as age at stepfamily formation, gender of the stepparent, presence of step/half-siblings, and the stepparent's socioeconomic resources.BackgroundThe prevalence of stepfamilies across the Global North highlights the urgency of the issue. Despite a sizeable existing empirical liter

Objectives: To study the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures in a community-based sample of men and women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) overall, as well as early (< 1 year of disease duration, follow-up time maximum 10 years) and established (RA diagnosis since ≥ 5 years on July 1, 1997) RA, compared with the general population. To study potential risk factors for fractures in patients with RA

BACKGROUND: Breast milk provides infants with complete nutrition for immune development and protection against childhood diseases and associated mortality. Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) aids in providing colostrum to newborns, providing protection against infection, and improving newborn and infant survival. Although Simiyu reported the lowest prevalence of EIBF in Tanzania, no study ha

Petrochemical producers both rely upon and generate some of the most problematic substances in the current age of socioecological crisis: fossil fuels and plastics. With mounting calls to cap fossil fuel extraction as well as plastics production, the industry appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Nonetheless, betting on continuously increasing global plastic demand, petrochemical p

Limited knowledge of African inequality trajectories hampers our understanding of the drivers of heterogenous inequality outcomes in Africa today, and leads to major omission in debates about global inequality. In recent years, African economic history has advanced towards the reconstruction of full income distributions of African economies using 'social tables'. In this paper, we take stock of th

Background: Today, the environmental challenge presents a growing concern for the food supply chains around the world; and developing countries in particular, suffer from it. UN Global Compact has defined environmental sustainability as dealing with three main environmental challenges: climate change, water and sanitation, and food and agriculture. Digital tools have disruptive potential, especial

The Himalayan river basins offer great potential for hydropower development, but they are also vulnerable to various hazards such as debris flows, landslides, flash floods, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and landslide lake outburst floods (LLOFs). Despite the regional and global significance of these hazards, there is a lack of information and data on different aspects, including meteorolog

In this master thesis an environmental assessment is carried out for rapeseed biodiesel (RME Rape Methyl Ester) and ethanol from wheat. The assessment is done considering Swedish conditions. Both these fuels are considered for use in heavy duty vehicles. The studied environmental impact categories are: GWP (Global Warming Potential), AP (Acidification Potential), EP (Eutrophication Potential), Par
