The International Commission on Stratigraphy and the IUGS Executive Committee have recently approved a Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) defining the base of the second stage of the Furongian Series, Cambrian System. This stage is named the Jiangshanian Stage, after Jiangshan City, western Zhejiang Province, China, where the GSSP is located. The GSSP is exposed in a natural outcr
In the coming years, it is anticipated that if we continue with the same pace of energy consumption, communities will continue to face three major challenges; a mounting increase in energy demands, pollution, and global warming. On a local scale, Egypt is experiencing one of its most serious energy crises in decades. The energy consumed in indoor cooling and heating is the biggest portion of total
High PHA production and storage using palm oil mill effluent (POME) was investigated using a laboratory batch Bio-PORec (R) system under aerobic-feeding conditions. Results showed that maximum PHA was obtained at a specific rate (q(p)) of 0.343 C-mol/C-mol h when air was supplied at 20 ml/min. The PHA yield was found to be 0.80 C-mol/C-mol acetic acid (HAc) at microaerophilic condition and the mas
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan är ett av människans viktigaste organ och är det centra som styr våra känslor, minnen och sociala färdigheter. Hjärnan är också det organ som signalerar till musklerna i kroppen att utföra rörelser. När en person drabbas av Parkinsons sjukdom minskar signaleringen till musklerna, vilket medför att det blir svårt att röra sig och stelhet uppstår. Sjukdomen beror Cell-replacement therapy is a promising approach for treating patients with Parkinson ́s disease (PD). For this purpose, there is a need for developing a protocol that can generate high numbers of human transplantable mesencephalic dopaminer- gic (mesDA) neurons. For decades, studies have therefore been made in mouse and other model organisms in order to elucidate key-factors that can be used for
The Greenland ice core from NorthGRIP (NGRIP) contains a proxy climate record across the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary of unprecedented clarity and resolution. Analysis of an array of physical and chemical parameters within the ice enables the base of the Holocene, as reflected in the first signs of climatic warming at the end of the Younger Dryas/Greenland Stadial 1 cold phase, to be located with
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has become widely adopted over the last 15 years and over 1000 peer reviewed publications are available describing its use. Despite this, there remains uncertainty regarding several aspects of usage. In order to respond to this gap a global expert panel was convened to develop evidence-based recommendations describing the use of NPWT. In this paper the result
In 2000, the Clinton Administration in the U.S. adopted the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which deregulated the U.S. trade with financial instruments on commodity markets. With respect to this adoption, it has been regarded as one catalyst for the Global food crisis 2008, where millions of individuals lacked provision and access to agricultural products and nutrition. From the perspective o
The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff
Hittills har över 50 miljoner ton e-avfall genererats globalt (World Economic Forum, 2019), vilket väcker frågan om den cirkulära ekonomins roll i kampen mot klimatförändringarna (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2021). I detta examensarbete undersöks möjligheterna för Axis Communications att införa ett system i USA för att ta tillbaka produkter som tagits ur bruk och återvinna dem. Inom detta område So far, over 50 million tonnes of e-waste have been generated globally (World Economic Forum, 2019), raising the question of the role of circular economy in combating climate change (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2021). This thesis explores the opportunities for Axis Communications to introduce a take back system for recycling decommissioned products in the US. Within this scope, several areas are
This article discusses the challenges associated with maintaining water quality, particularly the issue of eutrophication, and the importance of technology advancements for monitoring and managing water quality. The potential of machine learning is highlighted, along with the importance of affordable and effective water quality monitoring techniques. The study aims to identify factors contributing
In 2016, a national policy package consisting of six support measures was legislated and clarified in the Swedish school law. The six support measures aim to create clarity and guidance for teachers, principals and other relevant actors to integrate newly arrived children and youth and ensure they achieve the national curriculum requirements. Recent reports state that the gap between native an
Online platforms have gained significant economic and societal importance in the last decade; the public debate on their extending influence, responsibilities and liability has also reached unprecedented levels. Platforms entered most product and service markets and disturbed trade, information exchange and communication, by shifting the offline into the online environment; their use of existing d
This thesis explores the behavioural effect of carbon labels on conscious food consumption. A constantly increasing awareness of sustainable challenges, transparency for stakeholders and constant development of regulatory guidelines for food labelling communication raise a need for further consumer understanding. By assessing previous observational and quantitative findings on food products'
Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is a major area of interest since they are employed by the healthcare system to treat relevant chronic diseases like asthma. Previous research has established that the manufacturing process and formulation composition are key for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to reach the lungs and achieve therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to research the ef
Background As new product development is becoming more important due to higher and more global competition the new product introduction process needs to be efficient in order to launch new products before they become obsolete. Therefore, a more efficient development process with integrated functions is needed. Concurrent engineering claims to be this and has support in much research. However, conc
Energy sufficiency has been recognised as a strategy to promote sustainable energy use and achieve climate neutrality. It aims to reduce energy demand in absolute terms. ‘Living Space Reduction’ (LSR) is one way to achieve energy sufficiency in the housing sector. However, existing studies highlight significant barriers to its materialisation, including the lack of funding and expert knowledge of
Southeast Asia is the hardest-hit region worldwide regarding the frequency and severity of natural hazards, which are deemed to increase significantly in the incoming years. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCRC) in Southeast Asia, through its International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Asia Pacific Regional Office (RO), IFRC Country Cluster Suppor
The development and expansion of artificial intelligence have significant potential to benefit humanity; however, the risks posed by AI-related tools have also become a growing concern over the past decade. From the standpoint of human rights violations AI-related bias, discriminatory practices, data protection practices and violations or potential infringements on fundamental rights are some of t
