Second-hand consumption is promoted as a tool for achieving sustainability goals, yet its actual environmental impact remains insufficiently quantified. This thesis examines the potential of second-hand shops to contribute to carbon reduction, focusing on carla, a Vienna-based second-hand initiative. While second-hand goods are generally assumed to reduce the demand for new products, this benefit
Grey peas are a forgotten grain seed in the Nordic countries as well as Sweden, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in different food products. Before the cultivation of yellow peas and green peas took over, they used to be the dominating type of peas in Europe in medieval times. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as B vitamins, folates, and Iron.
Background: To study the impact of social participation, trust and the miniaturisation of community, i.e. high social participation/low trust, on consumption of homemade liquor and smuggled liquor during the past year. Methods: The Scania 2000 public health survey is a cross-sectional, postal questionnaire study. A total of 13,604 persons aged 18–80 years were included. A logistic regression model
Rules and guidelines on food safety and ethical aspects of production, such as animal welfare and labour conditions, have traditionally been a matter of national legislation. However, in recent years, powerful retailers and food processors have started to impose requirements on downstream producers through private standards. Since private standards are used by private actors and not by states, the
Precision medicine has the potential to transform healthcare by moving from one-size-fits-all to personalised treatment and care. This transition has been greatly facilitated through new high-throughput sequencing technologies that can provide the unique molecular profile of each individual patient, along with the rapid development of targeted therapies directed to the Achilles heels of each disea
The intricate nature of water distribution networks and the challenge of managing seasonal water consumption variation pose a significant hurdle for water utilities striving for low energy consumption. The performance of pumps, which are the backbone of these networks, directly influences the energy required for distributing drinking water. Such conditions are modelled using MIKE+ for the water di
Background: There has been a recent global movement toward certification of “green” buildings. The Sweden Green Building Council currently supports four sustainable building certification schemes: LEED, BREEAM, Miljöbyggnad, and GreenBuilding. These systems use widely disparate criteria to assess building sustainability and are adopted at differing rates within the nation. They are also constantly
With increasing number of wirelessly connected devices having limited energy resources, energy efficient solutions become more and more important. Many studies have addressed schemes where low-power wake-up receivers are used to improve energy efficiency in networks with low traffic intensity (per node) and demands on availability. One such scheme is the duty-cycled wake-up receiver medium access
BACKGROUND: In assisting the nurse's counselling on lifestyle changes in hypertension care a behaviour model can be used. AIM: To analyse the effects of nurses' training on the use of the stages of change model when counselling hypertensive patients to perform lifestyle changes. METHODS: As part of a randomised, controlled trial, 19 nurses belonging to the intervention group took part in video-rec
Vision Zero was introduced as an innovative traffic safety policy that has the eradication of mortality and severe injuries caused by traffic accidents as its final goal. The process of achieving that goal is through a set of measures, rules and regulations that change not only the way of thinking and acting of traffic members (and drivers, in particular), but also of car and road designers. Since
The ability to overcome short-term economic stress has been shown to be a good measure of the standard of living of populations in the past. From micro-level studies conducted across Europe and Asia we have learned that measures taken to smooth consumption, such as delaying births and marriages, and out-migration, were not sufficient to prevent all family members from dying in years with high food
Determination of brain glucose transport kinetics in vivo at steady-state typically does not allow distinguishing apparent maximum transport rate (T(max)) from cerebral consumption rate. Using a four-state conformational model of glucose transport, we show that simultaneous dynamic measurement of brain and plasma glucose concentrations provide enough information for independent and reliable determ
Nickel-based superalloys are typical materials used in components of aeroengines and gas turbine machinery. The strength properties of these alloys at high temperatures are crucial not only to the performance (e.g., power generation efficiency, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions) of aeroengines and industrial gas turbines, but also to machinability during component manufacturing.

Power supply systems play a very important role in applications of everyday life. Mainly, for low power generation, there are two ways of producing energy: electrochemical batteries and small engines. In the last few years many improvements have been carried out in order to obtain lighter batteries with longer duration but unfortunately the energy density of 1 MJ/kg seems to be an asymptotic value

Outstanding economic growth in China has its price to pay. By prioritizing economic growth as number-one issue, complementing cheap energy consumption has undeniably been side-by-side. Although the energy base on fossil-fuel energy consumption, together with inefficient technology has pushed forward China to lifting millions of the population out of poverty, it has also mounted emissions in China,
