Active pre-chamber configurations are considered a valuable solution for improving the operation of the internal combustion engine, in the view to overcome the many challenges it has been made to face. Combining this technology with the use of natural gas, a fuel that has increasing availability and interest in the market share, it is possible to burn ultra-lean mixtures (with air-to-fuel ratios,
The textile and clothing industry, driven by a linear economic model, significantly impacts the environment, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable reforms within this sector. The circular economy (CE) offers a solution by promoting resource reuse and recycling to minimise raw material extraction and waste. A key component of the CE is extending product lifespans through repair, which helps
This thesis looks at labour market mechanisms for 13 advanced countries and narrows down the focus to the Swedish labour market during the Covid-19 crisis. We concluded that short term unemployment benefits are correlated with a decrease in the unemployment rate while trade union density and public unemployment spending for a longer period is correlated with an increased unemployment rate. The the
Background: Lifestyle factors may influence the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Whereas cigarette smoking is an established risk factor, the effects of high alcohol intake and obesity are more uncertain. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations of pre-diagnostic anthropometry, alcohol consumption, and smoking habits with pancreatic cancer risk in a Swedish prospective, po
This study investigated data obtained from whole blood fatty acid (FA) composition of 3476 Norwegian and Swedish individuals, which provided background information including age, gender, nationality and self-motivated n-3 supplement consumption. The aim of this paper was to statistically relate this background information on the subjects to their whole blood FA profile, focusing mainly on the n-3
The purpose of this thesis is to test the implications of the permanent income – life cycle hypothesis. According to Hall (1978), if the permanent income-life cycle hypothesis is valid, consumption should follow a random walk and no variable other than once-lagged consumption should help explaining current consumption. Two different tests are conducted. Firstly, consumption is regressed upon its o
Abstract Research in marketing has neglected economic scarcity in affluent societies, with a few exceptions. Many affluent states are today facing financial difficulties and a global belief in the market as self-regulating, and in de-regulation have led to a focus on consumer agency. This has also contributed to a widening gap regarding opportunities to consume in affluent societies. The purpose o

Objectives: To describe and compare the consumption of dairy products in cohorts included in the European Prospective Investigation into-Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: Data from single 24-hour dietary recall interviews collected through a highly standardised computer-based program (EPIC-SOFT) in 27 redefined centres in 10 European countries between 1995 and 2000. From a total random sample
Background: There is an association between a greater adherence to a Mediterranean diet and a reduced risk of developing chronic diseases. However, it is not clear whether this dietary pattern may be protective also against the development of obesity. Objective: We assessed the association between the adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP), prospective weight change, and the incidenc

This thesis provides an overview of Vilnius citizens’ practices of sorting, storing and disposal. Comparative perspectives from different settings: Vilnius, Copenhagen and Jeddah will highlight that waste is contextual – heavily influenced by cultural norms and habits. A historical perspective is incorporated to understand how different generations have developed routines and norms, and to what ex
Power production represents one fourth to one third of all CO2 emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in one way to approach the increasing problem with CO2 emissions from fossil fuelled power plants. The CO2 is separated, compressed and transported to a final storing site. To allow more efficient transport and to match the pressure of the final storing site, the CO2 is compressed to a superc
This handbook brings together a collection of seminal research on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and investigates the effectiveness of the 17 goals for achieving transformative change toward sustainable development.As a collection of inter- and transdisciplinary research from around the world, this volume explores the applications, implications, and best practices of the goals at thematiWhen the world committed to end poverty and hunger as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the promise to “leave no one behind” was recognized as both an ethical responsibility and a key criteria for success. How can we make sure that such a promise becomes a reality, and what challenges lie ahead? This chapter aims to address these issues by focusing on parts of the world that, despi
In the city of Malmö urban sustainability has been a front figure in municipality development strategies. Despite this, large shopping malls are approved by the municipality and sustain patterns of consumerism. This lead into the question of how the municipality is working for sustainability within consumption, and particularly within one of the worlds most polluting industries, the clothing indus
This interpretive study examines identity work in a transition period which was triggered by a downsizing event. The purpose of this thesis is to gain further understanding of how identity work is done in the transition from employment to becoming self-employed. A hermeneutical approach was adopted and data-gathering was carried out using semi-structured interviews which allowed us to gain insight
A synoptic overview of scientific methods applied in bone and associated research fields across species has yet to be published. Experts from the EU Cost Action GEMSTONE (“GEnomics of MusculoSkeletal Traits translational Network”) Working Group 2 present an overview of the routine techniques as well as clinical and research approaches employed to characterize bone phenotypes in humans and selected
Background: Previous studies have shown that high fiber intake is associated with lower mortality. However, little is known about the association of dietary fiber with specific causes of death other than cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relation between fiber intake, mortality, and cause-specific mortality in a large European prospective study of 452
