I takt med att hållbarhet blivit en allt viktigare faktor i konsumtionsbeslut har även användningen av miljöpåståenden i marknadsföring ökat. Många företag framhåller sina produkter som "miljövänliga" eller "hållbara", men långt ifrån alla sådana påståenden har vetenskaplig grund. Fenomenet, känt som grönmålning, innebär att företag skapar en missvisande bild av sin miljöpåverkAs sustainability has become an increasingly important factor in consumer decision-making, the use of environmental claims in marketing has also risen. Many companies promote their products as "environmentally friendly" or "sustainable," yet not all such claims are based on scientific evidence. The phenomenon known as greenwashing occurs when businesses create a misleading impr
Bakgrund: Maximal syreupptagningsförmåga (VO2max) är ett centralt mått för bedömning av aerob kapacitet och kardiovaskulär hälsa. Gold standard för mätning av VO2max är genom test av maximal belastning. Dessa tester är ofta tidskrävande, dyra och inte särskilt anpassade till en stor del av befolkningen, exempelvis de med kardiovaskulära sjukdomar eller de med restriktioner kring hög fysisk belastn

The increasing focus on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the context of electrification of transport sector has raised concerns about their high costs, resource and energy demands, environmental impact, and social supply chain risks. To address these challenges and maximize the value of LIBs throughout their lifecycle, circular economy (CE) strategies, such as reusing and repurposing, are being exp
There is a need to closer characterise the molecular changes associated with progression from low to high mortality stage cutaneous T cell lymphoma. This has been challenging since there is high inter-patient heterogeneity in the genetics and transcriptomics of the malignant T cell populations. Modern technology has enabled single-cell resolution as well as spatially guided cell selection for whol

Svenska samhället har på senare år drabbats hårt av organiserad brottslighet, med gängrelaterade konflikter som eskalerat och allt yngre individer som rekryteras till kriminella miljöer. Detta har lett till ett ökande gängvåld, inklusive skjutningar och sprängningar, vilket skapat oro bland allmänheten och myndigheterna. Polisen, som spelar en central roll i bekämpningen av denna brottslighet, harSwedish society has in recent years been severely affected by organized crime. Gang-related conflicts have been escalating and the recruitment to criminal environments goes further and further down the ages.

Sverige har under lång tid haft en restriktiv alkoholpolitik. Sverige är också medlem i Europeiska unionen, där huvudregeln är fri rörlighet av varor. Denna skiljelinje har inneburit att Sverige visserligen fått behålla ett detaljhandelsmonopol (Systembolaget), men också att en möjlighet för svenskar att privat importera alkoholhaltiga drycker för eget bruk införts. År 2023 lämnade Högsta domstoleSweden has long pursued a restrictive alcohol policy. Sweden is also a member of the European Union, where the the free movement of goods is a general principle. This dividing line has resulted in Sweden getting to retain a retail monopoly (Systembolaget), however the possibility for Swedes to privately import alcoholic beverages for their private consumption was introduced.

The upcoming implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative presents both challenges and opportunities for the European aviation sector. Starting January 2025, the EU’s aviation fuel mix must include at least 2% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), leading to higher operating costs for airlines due to SAF’s higher price than fossil kerosene. Additionally, the entire fuel supply chain will need to
Fresh water resources face risks due to urbanisation, economic development, and climate change (CC). Many small and medium-sized cities (SMCs) are particularly vulnerable to these risks due to the lower resource capacity required to mitigate them. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for water resource management (WRM) are promising to tackle these issues in urban areas while providing extra benefits to s
