Defining Remanufacturing: A Key Business Strategy Advancing Industrial Circularity

Remanufacturing is a key strategy in the circular economy, enabling substantial product value retention. However, inconsistent definitions across standards and legislation hinder global trade, core recovery and market acceptance. This study examines how remanufacturing is defined in laws and standards, and how these definitions impact industry practices. Through a literature review of key existing

Medvetande eller förändring- vad är rollen för politisk teater

Denna uppsats undersöker den politiska teaterns roll och potential att skapa verklig samhällsförändring. Utifrån ett materialistisk perspektiv ställs frågan huruvida teatern, som primärt verkar i åskådarens medvetande, är begränsad till att enbart förändra tankesätt eller om den även kan vara ett direkt medel för konkret politisk och materiell förändring. Syftet är att kartlägga vår tids svårighet

Primary care diagnosed multimorbidity and risk of venous thromboembolism in Sweden

Background Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more non-communicable diseases (NCDs), is common and has been linked to venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether multimorbidity diagnosed in primary-care is associated with incident VTE remains unclear. We aimed to examine this association. Methods Multimorbidity was defined using Swedish primary-care data. Individuals without prior VTE were incl

Determinants and prognostic value of blood pressure trajectories during graded exercise

PURPOSE: The systolic blood pressure (SBP) response to exercise reflects cardiovascular health, with both exaggerated and blunted responses linked to adverse outcomes. Prior studies relied typically on peak SBP or two-point slopes for evaluation. We aimed to identify distinct SBP responses from full times-series recorded during maximal, graded exercise and assess their clinical determinants and pr

Women's reasoning and experience in the cervical cancer screening programme when offered a self-sampling HPV test : a qualitative content analysis

BACKGROUND: Our aim was to explore the reasoning and experiences of women when offered a self-sampling HPV test.METHODS: This study implemented a qualitative study design and content analysis using an inductive approach. Data consisted of written narratives collected through open-ended questions from a total of 173 women. Women were included if they had been offered a self-sampling device since Se

Facing rising temperatures in urban environments : the role of phenological plasticity in an urban-dwelling passerine, Parus major

The capacity for birds to adjust their breeding time to variation in spring temperature via plasticity is crucial for insectivorous passerines in temperate areas, particularly in a context of climate disruptions. Recent studies suggested that phenological plasticity varies in response to environmental change via urbanization. We investigated the effects of urbanization on laying date, its phenotyp

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. VIII. Disk Formation and Evolution of Simulated Milky Way Mass Galaxy Progenitors at 1 < z < 5

We investigate how differences in the stellar feedback produce disks with different morphologies in Milky Way-like progenitors over 1 ≤ z ≤ 5, using eight state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamics simulation codes in the AGORA project. In three of the participating codes, a distinct, rotation-dominated inner core emerges with a formation timescale of ≲300 Myr, largely driven by a major merger ev

Modelling of electric power systems in electric vehicles

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning:Elfordon uppfattas ofta som en modern uppfinning, men elektriskt drivna fordon har funnits sedan slutet av artonhundratalet. De första helelektriska personbilarna, bussarna och lastbilarna utvecklades redan innan förbränningsmotorn slog igenom.För att förstå varför elektriska störningar spelar en så viktig roll i dagens elfordon kan man börja med en enkel bild. TThe rapid electrification of heavy-duty vehicles has introduced traction voltage systems (TVS) with electrical scale and complexity not previously seen in on-road applications. Multiple power electronic subsystems interact through long cables and frequency-dependent impedances, making conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) a system-level phenomenon. Differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM

Capital and Coercion: Why Slavery Persisted after Britain Banned the Trade

In 1807, Britain outlawed the slave trade across its empire. Yet in the Cape Colony, households continued accumulating slaves for decades afterwards. New evidence from digitised tax censuses suggests the answer lies not in labour demand, but in the financial value of enslaved people as capital assets.

Meaningful Work and the Voices of Others in Frontline Occupations

This article explores meaningful work across two frontline occupations, bank advisors and school­teachers. We build on narrative research focusing on the role of stories and storytelling in the sensemaking and identity construction processes related to work to explore the importance of oth­ers in the perception and construction of everyday work as meaningful. To study this, we examine the narrativ

Mitochondrial respiration in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells : methodology and influence of permeabilization and storage

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) can be easily sampled from healthy individuals and patients. Density gradient isolation from human blood or leukocyte concentrates yields a mononuclear cell population of mainly lymphocytes, monocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. PBMCs are vital circulating cells of the immune system and rely on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for their energy

På spaning efter den praktiknära forskning som flytt

Den här antologin visar vad som händer när skolans och universitetets världarmöts i genuin samverkan. Inom ramen för ULF‑satsningen vid Lunds universi‑tet har lärare, forskare, skolledare och lärarstudenter samt elever tillsammansutvecklat projekt som utgår från verkliga behov i undervisningen – och somsamtidigt bidrar till ny forskning.Genom konkreta exempel från grundskola, gymnasium och kulturs

Investigation of relationship between stress and seismic velocities on field scale

A relationship between seismic wave velocities and the stress state of a material have been largely investigated in small scale lab experiments but never on a large field scale. For investigation of this relationship on a larger scale a 3-D seismic array have been built into a full-size railroad embankment model. Using the three component geophones with vertical and horizontal sledgehammer strikes

Moving across drawing and sounding : Listening to trees

Drawing and sounding both rely on bodily movement as a basis for artistic expression. Movement provides the underlying spark that brings both visual and sonic practices to life. As part of a long-term research project titled ‘Sonic Kinesthetic Forest’, this paper reflects on a collaborative exchange between three researchers who use moving, drawing and sounding practices to deepen human relationsh

Infusing sensory knowledge into tree literacy

This workshop investigates sensory dimensions of trees as a way to build upon tree literacy efforts by researchers affiliated with the Concordia Tree Project on the Loyola Campus. As a laboratory of micro-forests for students and the Montreal community to learn about the wealth of trees on the campus, this forestry project aligns well with the cross-disciplinary project Sonic Kinesthetic Forest (S
