In this study, we investigated how prolonged consumption of sugar solution affects hippocampal neurogenesis. We gave rats sucrose or fructose solution for four weeks and observed a 40% reduction in BrdU/NeuN-immunoreactive cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. This reduction in hippocampal neurogenesis was accompanied by increased apoptosis in the hippocampus and increased circulating levels of
The industrial sector in Sweden accounted for 38 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2019. As the world’s focus has shifted drastically on energy consumption, the industry sector’s has as well due to energy initiatives and government-driven regulations. The energy issue is currently of great relevance for energy-intensive industries where enormous potential remains due to factors
Food is an essential part of our daily lives, but simultaneously, it is a major contributor to environmental issues. The growing world population and changing diets are expected to further exacerbate the negative impact of food production and consumption. This article explores how suffciency business strategies, focused on moderating consumption levels, can be implemented in the food industry to c
Nowadays, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, consumers increasingly seek foods that not only fulfill the basic need (i.e., satisfying hunger) but also enhance human health and well-being. As a result, more attention has been given to some kinds of foods, termed " superfoods," making big claims about their richness in valuable nutrients and bioactive compounds as well as their capability to prev
This thesis is about the intersection between Corporate Social Responsibility and Supply Chain Management. I call this upstream CSR, the phenomenon that arises when an issue on a company’s CSR agenda becomes an issue for its sourcing and supply management operations. Upstream CSR as a phenomenon is not without controversies, but it also holds an important potential for reducing negative environm
In 2014, Swedish oat milk producer Oatly was sued by the dairy lobby LRF Mjölk for their use of marketing slogans such as “It’s like milk, but made for humans” which the dairy lobby claimed painted cow’s milk negatively. Dubbed the “milk wars”, the dispute sparked an intense debate over the political and environmental impacts of dairy production up until and beyond the court’s decision in November
Internet of Things – sakernas internet – är ett framväxande koncept där varje enhet, oavsett storlek, har en anslutning till Internet. Detta examensarbete undersöker vilka möjliga begränsningar i funktionalitet detta får på trådlösa enheter med begränsade resurser. Flera olika teknologier undersöks och jämförs, innan ett antal väljs ut för att ingå i en implementation, till exempel: IEEE 802.15.4,The Internet of Things is an emerging concept where every device, regardless of size, have their own connection to the Internet. This thesis examines what possible limitations are imposed on the functionality of resource constrained, wireless devices. Several different technologies are evaluated and compared, before a set of them is chosen for inclusion in an implementation, for example: IEEE 802.

Background and Objective: Growing evidence shows that certain acute exposures, especially alcohol, may trigger episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is a lack of methods for assessing the relation between triggers and AF episodes in individual patients. The present paper proposes an approach to identifying AF triggers based on the assumption that the post-trigger AF burde

This report has been compiled within the framework of the programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries (RAPIDC), Phase III, conducted during the period 2005-2008. RAPIDC has been funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation (INEC) of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). It is coordinated by the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI
Degrowth promises to make human life on earth sustainable but represents a radical change to the dominant paradigm, in which wellbeing is coupled with consumption. We draw on the idea that imagined futures perform the present, meaning that ecologically sustainable futures may be generated if marketers envision and “sell” them as desirable.

The shared laundry room (the “tvättstuga”) is a good example of a service system, where we don’t necessarily have to own a product to benefit from it. If we can share, we can also reduce our consumption & impact on the environment. In today’s society (in Sweden) the “tvättstuga” is a service taken for granted when living in an apartment building. It’s a necessity in many cases - people rarely
This thesis analyses the energy consumption of the Italian and Swedish residential sector during the last two decades. It has two main purposes: (1) to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis that stipulate a decoupling relation between environmental harm and economic growth and (2) to investigate on four factors that could explain such decoupling relation. The key factors are the ch
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the world, leading to a significant burden to patients and the healthcare system. It is characterised by rapid and irregular atrial contractions stemming from disorganised electrical activity in the atria. The atrioventricular (AV) node regulates heart rate during AF by filtering electrical impulses from the atria.However, for persistent AF
This study has examined the relationship between the increase in consumption of white snus among Generation Z in Sweden and the branding strategies used by the nicotine brand LYFT. The purpose of this research has been to gain an understanding of how a brand can market a regulated product to a young consumer segment by conducting strategic communication prefered by these young individuals. The bac
When it comes to determining the jurisdictional reach of VAT two principles are used by the OECD, EU policy makers and scholars, namely, the origin principle and the destination principle. These principles can mean different things. One problem is that different constructions thereof can result in confusion in the communication between legal actors and, more importantly – in different legal outcom
