Based on a survey of waste sorting behaviours and perceptions of residents in southern Sweden, we discuss how physical environment, gender and knowledge affect the actual sorting activities.

Seaweeds and marine invertebrates of the lagoons and reefs have, ever since the initial settlement almost 3.500 years ago, been a very important source of food and raw materials for the people of the Tongan islands. This study is an attempt to combine anthropological and biological perspectives in documenting and discussing, in contemporary as well as ancient contexts, the gathering/collecting of

Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate

Background: To determine the feasibility and efficacy of a retinal telephotocoagulation treatment plan for diabetic macular edema. Methods: Prospective, interventional cohort study at two clinical sites. Sixteen eyes of ten subjects with diabetic macular edema underwent navigated focal laser photocoagulation using a novel teleretinal treatment plan. Clinic 1 (King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, R

Den svenska straffprocessrätten präglas av principen om fri bevisprövning, en allmän rättsprincip som innefattar såväl fri bevisföring som fri bevisvärdering. Principen om fri bevisföring innebär att all bevisning, oavsett hur beviset framkommit, får användas mot en brottsmisstänkt i en rättegång. Detta innebär att även bevis som åtkommits på lagstridig väg får användas i den nämnda situationen. The Swedish criminal procedure law is characterized by the principle of free examination of evidence, a general legal principle that includes both free presentation of evidence and free evaluation of evidence. By the principle of free presentation of evidence follows that all evidence, regardless of how the evidence came to light, may be used against a suspect in a criminal trial. This means that

Energy is essential for the sustenance of life. The energy and economy of any nation are interlinked—energy demand is generally proportional to the economic growth of the nation. In the present era, renewable energy (RE) is the primary area of interest to save fossil fuels, achieve sustainability, and reducing carbon emissions, as well as other gases in the atmosphere that create climatic problems

Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates or sheets have become a common retrofitting approach for sustaining old reinforced concrete structures in the modern era. The capacity of FRP-strengthened structures cannot be accurately estimated because the bond strength between FRP and concrete surface is accurately unpredictable. Various studies are available in the literature to predict

Stroke results in local neural disconnection and brain-wide neuronal network dysfunction leading to neurological deficits. Beyond the hyper-acute phase of ischemic stroke, there is no clinically-approved pharmacological treatment that alleviates sensorimotor impairments. Functional recovery after stroke involves the formation of new or alternative neuronal circuits including existing neural connec

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by myelin-specific autoreactive T cells. We previously demonstrated intestinal barrier disruption and signs of inflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of MS. Fecal calprotectin is a disease activity biomarker in inflammatory bowel diseases, released by neutrophils

Purpose: to propose two enhancements for the European Union’s Circular Material Use rate (CMU): inclusion of Preparation for Reuse (PfR) flows and enhanced reproducibility across lower levels of analysis. Methods: PfR flows are added to the material flow Sankey Diagram. The Local Circularity Rate (LCR) is based in the CMU and is broke down in three waste-related ratios: recovered-to-treated (RCV-t
