Cities are crucial to mitigating climate change and can serve as sites for innovations, providing examples of ways to conduct effective politics in transport, energy and land-use. What does it take to become a model for climate politics? This article argues that a few innovative measures will not suffice. A common vision based on broad legitimacy is crucial to achieving this position. Using a theo
Growing demand for transport biofuels in the EU is driving an expansion of the industry in developing countries. Large-scale production of energy crops for biofuel, if mismanaged, could cause detrimental environmental and social impacts. The aim of this study is to examine whether the newly adopted EU Directive 2009/28/EC and its sustainability certification system can effectively ensure sustainab
The purpose of this study was to investigate women's wishes and need for knowledge concerning sexuality and relationships in connection with gynecological cancer. A total of 11 women were interviewed following the completion of their treatment for gynecological cancer. The data was analyzed using latent content analysis. Two main categories were identified: "The absence of knowledge about the body
Objectives: To investigate the importance of birth characteristics and early life infections on the risk of later rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: A nationwide register-based case-control study was performed based on prospectively recorded data on individuals born in 1973 or later. Using the Swedish inpatient register and the early arthritis register, cas
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a major health insurance overhaul, was signed into law on March 23, 2010. The Act has been challenged on federalism grounds in a number of cases to date. In particular, the lawsuits have targeted the individual mandate provision – a provision that requires most people living in the United States to obtain health insurance coverage or pay a certain am
Canopy decline is increasingly prevalent in high-elevation snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora) forests across the Australian Alps. This phenomenon, known as snow gum dieback, is associated with infestations by the wood-boring beetle, Phoracantha mastersi. The larvae of this beetle create feeding galleries in the tree trunk, leading to the exudation of kino, a tannin-rich resin produced as a defense r
A health care reform for senior citizens took effect in 1992 in Sweden. Shortcomings as regards geriatric rehabilitation were identified and, in 1995, governmental grants were assigned to local developmental projects. The aim of this study was to report the staff and administration perspectives in a geriatric rehabilitation developmental process over a 1-year period. In all, 782 staff and 45 admin
The Covid-19 pandemic sparked unprecedented political responses dramatically affecting societies, markets, and the lives of individuals. Under great uncertainty and turbulent conditions, governments adopted far-reaching political interventions to curb the pandemic. These interventions might therefore be expected to challenge key ideas underpinning liberal democracy. We analyze and compare how the

This study examines whether the European Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) exercise collaborative leadership in the European Union's (EU) external climate security policy. While the academic debate acknowledges that both actors are very engaged in addressing external climate-related security risks, it does not answer whether they exercise a leadership role. Theoretical
Studies have been made on food deserts all around the world. Sweden is however an outlier, and few studies have been made regarding locating and trying to explain food deserts. The aim of this study is to answer the questions: Do food deserts occur in Sweden? Which factors affect the spatial distribution of grocery stores? A food desert in this study is defined as an area without a grocery store w
Användandet av agila utvecklingsmetoder inom IT-organisationer har utvecklats till att inkludera driftsidan (Ops). DevOps är en rörelse för ökat samarbete mellan utvecklare (Dev) och driftpersonal (Ops) med rötter i agila utvecklingsmetoder där de fyra värdegrunderna är kultur, automation, mätning och delning. Rörelsen lockar företag i hopp om snabbare time-to-market och en bättre möjlighet till
Northern Ireland has long been a case that has interested researchers in different disciplines. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, it has attracted attention as a politically rare case within the UK. Its land border with the Republic of Ireland and history of conflict results in unique consequences post-Brexit. Analyzing the impact of the British media in shaping the way Northern Ireland was con
Estimates of land-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, energy, water vapor, and other greenhouse gases based on the eddy covariance (EC) technique rely on the fundamental assumption that the flux footprint area is homogeneous. We investigated the impact of source area heterogeneity on flux estimates in single-level EC measurements over a managed boreal forest landscape. For this purpose, we compared si
