Popular Abstract in English Jordan is a country with a rapidly growing economy, modernization and growing population. The rapid increase in volumes of solid wastes and a steady increase in the cost and logistical difficulties with the associated risk to human health is a source of concern.

The increased volume of solid waste and associated logistical difficulties, the steady growth in the cost of waste management and the risk to human health are sources of concern. The increasing amount of solid waste generated in Jordan has not been accompanied by adequate sanitation facilities or management progr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling beskriver vissa funktionella syntetiska modeller av non-hem mononukleära järn oxygenas-enzymer. Sådana enzymer katalyserar ett brett spektrum av oxidationsreaktioner av biologisk relevans, som utnyttjar molekylärt syre. Dessa reaktioner utförs i regio- och stereoselektivt sätt och med hög verkningsgrad. Föreslås oxidationsreaktionerna ske via mellan hög

This chapter presents a case study of how Accus, a small Swedish company, worked on developing a circular business model for light sign production and installation to become more sustainable. Drawing on Actor Network Theory (ANT), the Accus case shows that circular business model development is a cooperative endeavor that rests on bringing together a large and changing array of human, as well as n

This article brings the concept of kinning from anthropology and the sociology of adoption and care work to the study of disaster response and migration. It looks at intimate relationships between the Chernobyl children from Belarus and host families in Italy within the humanitarian programme of child recuperation abroad and argues that these relationships can be understood as kinning. Kinning imp

Some policymakers believe that academic R&D generates insufficient economic benefits. However, they often exclude the long-term and multi-dimensional impacts that are mediated through the activities of companies, students or policymakers. This case study, which is mainly interview-based, traces and characterises such impacts applying the technological innovation systems approach to the case of

MAX IV is presently under construction at Lund, Sweden, and the first beam for the production of synchrotron radiation is expected to circulate in 2016. The whole set of 3 GeV ring beam pipes is coated with Ti-Zr-V Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) thin film in order to fulfil the average pressure requirement of 1×10-9 mbar, despite the compact magnet layout and the large aspect ratio of the vacuum cham

In order to maximise profit and sustainability of a mining operation, knowledge of the chemistry, mineralogy, texture, and structure of the ore is essential. Continuous advancements in analytical techniques enable studying these features with increasing detail. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence is unparalleled in its simultaneously high spatial resolution and detection range. Yet, its appli

This article serves as an introduction to the special issue on Islam in the Republic of Ireland. The introduction gives a brief overview of previous studies on Islam and Muslims in Ireland and shows their links with the studies published in this issue. Second, it presents in a concise manner the historical development of Islam in Ireland with respect to the increasing numbers of Muslims. As Irelan

Background: Despite substantial progress in the field of mass spectrometry, there remain barriers to measuring the extracellular vesicles (EVs) proteome in blood plasma. Recent work has shown that isolating EVs can make it possible to detect proteins that have low abundance in plasma. Commonly used EV isolation methods either require large sample volumes and long ultracentrifugation times, or else

Abstract Migration is a widespread phenomenon in nature, observed in many different taxa. Migration is often caused by changes in food availability, physical conditions and predation risks. Moving is energetically costly, and hence migration is likely to be a trade-off between increased survival and an energetic cost for migrating, the cost could take shape in decreased fecundity and lower body c

Public participation has gradually gained a stronghold within development theory during the last three decades. Researchers, policy-makers and aid workers share the belief that inclusion of beneficiaries in the development process is a prerequisite for purposeful and sustainable development of rural communities. The purpose of this thesis is to examine if participatory development leads to empower

Regionalism, that has been always with us in different forms throughout the history and emerged as an alternative theory after the end of Cold War, enables us to explain new world order. Since the end of WWII, there are two types of regionalism explaining the dynamics of regional formations. The one that came into question from the end of WWII till end of Cold War is names as ‘old’ regionalism and

Considering the depersonalization that the bureaucratic role entails, it is interesting to analyze the bureaucratic role-play that occurs between public and private sphere from a dramaturgical perspective. In order to investigate the personal shift of bureaucrats’ attitude, I conducted participant observations and interviews at an office of a Swedish Agency. Based on critical theory and feminist c

Heavy trucks are commonly powered by combustion engines running on diesel. Since these trucks often run on highways they rarely have to perform cold starts. Diesel engines take care of their NOx emissions through a process which uses the high temperatures of the exhaust gases together with urea, sprayed upon a mixer placed inside the exhaust pipes, to chemically react with the NOx over an SCR cata

So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.

Asylärendena kännetecknas av vissa unika särdrag. Till dessa kan räknas den enskildes ofta prekära situation, och att beslutsfattaren ska ta ställning till huruvida den sökande befinner sig i en situation i vilken denne är berättigad internationellt skydd undan förföljelser eller inte. Även maktförhållandet parterna emellan stärker behovet av försiktighet från beslutsfattarens sida. För att hanterThe asylum process is characterised by certain unique features. Amongst these are the precarious situation of the applicant, and the fact that the decision maker is to decide whether or not the applicant is in a situation that entitles him or her to international protection. The balance of power between the two parties is also a key feature that strengthens the need of caution by the decision make

One of urban planning’s responsibility is to ensure children’s right to outdoor space in Swedish kindergartens is met. Legislation that regulates outdoor areas in kindergartens is broad, stating that “enough space” should be granted. However, critical voices flag the shrinking outdoor space that jeopardizes children’s right to a healthy outdoor environment. Each municipality is responsible to dete
