Urban last mile delivery has become an increasingly relevant topic in this day and age, where the urban population is growing at the same time as climate change forces nations to limit emissions. The demand for fast and flexible deliveries in urban areas accelerates, which further escalates the need to optimize these last mile deliveries since they are the most polluting part of the supply chain.
Europeanization investigates how political integration in Europe affects the domestic power structures and policies. Less research has been carried out on what impact the EU has on national public administrations. It is in fact disputed whether administrative Europeanization even exists. Furthermore, there is no explicit European model of administration; no blueprint that the EU can enforce in its
Barn kan tillhandahållas sociala insatser på frivillig eller tvingande väg, genom socialtjänstlagen respektive LVU. Insatserna ska i första hand vidtas på frivil-lig väg och socialnämnden har, i syfte att kunna stödja barn som är i behov av insatser men vars föräldrar inte samtycker till sådana, givits möjlighet att till-handahålla insatser till barn utifrån barnets eget samtycke. Sedan år 2023 kaChildren can be provided social assistance in a voluntary or an imperative manner through the Social Services Act or the Care of Young Persons Act, respectively. The social assistance should primarily be provided in a voluntary manner, and children can, for the purpose of aiding children in the absence of parental consent, be provided social assistance by giving consent through the Social Services
Many African countries face escalating challenges of increasing disaster risk and anticipated impacts of climate change. Although disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) are tightly linked and comprising virtually identical practices in vulnerable countries in Southern Africa, research has identified parallel governance structures across the region. This study applied com
The Tajik health system is characterized by improving health outcomes over the last 20 years, but also major inefficiencies in health care delivery and large difficulties for people to access affordable essential health care. The benefits package (BP) is a key tool for prioritizing state budget allocations toward health interventions that most effectively enhance health system performance. This ar
The internal dimension of an individual is a potential deep leverage point for a collective change toward sustainability that is currently overlooked. Especially in their professional context, certain individuals can create change beyond themselves and the enterprise subjected to them. The environment of individuals, however, influences the activated potential of individuals for contributing to th
I första hand är det varje vårdnadshavares ansvar att ge sitt barn fostran, kärlek och trygghet. Under vissa förutsättningar kan dock samhället omhänderta ett barn med tvång. Det är vanligt att dessa barn av kommunernas socialnämnder placeras i familjehem. Ett familjehem är ett enskilt hem som barnet tas emot i för att bo och vårdas där. Det ställs särskilt höga krav på dessa barns rättssäkerhet d
This thesis explores the reception system for unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) in Sweden, with a focus on preventive and responsive measures to sexual violence. The aim is to understand the professional challenges of actively working against sexual vulnerability and violence. Furthermore, it explores the interrelation between changes in laws and legislation and shifts in the public discourse, w
In the ongoing transformation from previous “one-child policy” to current “two-/three-child policy” in China, the newly issued “supporting measures” system is highlighted to be crucial to boosting fertility. Extant studies on the issue are mostly limited to idealized discussions, while lacking a Public Administration perspective to comprehensively understand the real policy process. To compensate
Cloud computing, owing to its ubiquitousness, scalability and on-demand ac- cess, has transformed into many traditional sectors, such as telecommunication and manufacturing production. As the Fifth Generation Wireless Specifica- tions (5G) emerges, the demand on ubiquitous and re-configurable computing resources for handling tremendous traffic from omnipresent mobile devices has been put forward.
Godstransporter är en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsekonomisk utveckling, näringslivets konkurrenskraft och tillgången till varor, men står samtidigt för en betydande andel av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp. Att minska transporternas klimatpåverkan utan att hämma ekonomisk utveckling är därför en central utmaning. Ökad transporteffektivitet lyfts ofta fram som en nyckelstrategi, men dess potFreight transport is a fundamental prerequisite for socio-economic development, business competitiveness, and the availability of goods, while at the same time accounting for a substantial share of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the climate impact of transport without constraining economic development therefore constitutes a central challenge. Improved transport efficiency is often hi
Novel therapeutics to combat cancer are urgently needed. Most current pharmacological therapies have severe side effects and are seldom curative. Macromolecular drugs, and in particular nucleic acid based drugs, offer a potential remedy for this situation. Currently, the absence of efficacious and safe methods to deliver nucleic acids to intracellular sites of action is the main impediment to th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Neurodegenerativa sjukdomar karaktäriseras av långsam celldöd i hjärnan med en gradvis försämring av olika funktioner hos patienten. Ytterligare en gemensam nämnare är att de idag inte går att bota. En av dessa är Parkinsons sjukdom, som drabbar ungefär 0.1% av befolkningen, och inträder oftast i femtio- till sextioårsåldern med minskad rörlighet och muskelstelhet som mNeurodegenerative disorders are characterized by a progressive cell-death in the brain, and loss of different functions in the patient. Today, there are no cures for any of the various diseases. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with a prevalence of 0.1% and the first symptoms usually start to appear between 50-60 years of age with rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia and postural abno
The unison songs has united people about common goals and experiences in the three great folk movements in Sweden, the Revivalist movement, the Temperance movement and the Socialist movement, especially during the most expansive period, 1850-1920. The aim/purpose of my investigation has been to examine how the different ideolgies are breaking against each other in the songs published for unison so
The focal company in this study is establishing a partnership style of’ relationships with a few selected suppliers. The article focuses on the driving forces behind such an initiative. It attempts to answer the questions why this company is trying to develop a closer working relationship with one of the selected suppliers, the supplier of corrugated board. The purpose of the article is thus to an
In this thesis, nationalism is seen as a discourse constructed in social relations. Although socially constructed, nationalism still seems like having an impersonal character and the nation is commonly conceived of as a holistic system within which modern political relations are embedded. The author views this discursive character as the consequence of a co-operation between relational power and a
This article explores the advocacy activities of the Church of Sweden. The historical co-optation of the Church by the state, a Lutheran theological heritage, and a trend from “voice to service” within Swedish civil society might discourage stronger political activism by the Church. The following research questions are answered: How does the extent of the advocacy activities of the Church of Swede
The relative efficacy and harms of balloon kyphoplasty (BK) for treating vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are uncertain. We searched multiple electronic databases to March 2016 for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing BK with control treatment (nonsurgical management [NSM], percutaneous vertebroplasty [PV], KIVA VCF treatment system [Benvenue Medical, Inc., Santa Clara,
Despite emergency and essential surgery and anaesthesia care being recognised as a part of Universal Health Coverage, 5 billion people worldwide lack access to safe, timely and affordable surgery and anaesthesia care. In Tanzania, 19% of all deaths and 17 % of disability-adjusted life years are attributable to conditions amenable to surgery. It is recommended that countries develop and implement N
