Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ
This thesis explores the behavioural effect of carbon labels on conscious food consumption. A constantly increasing awareness of sustainable challenges, transparency for stakeholders and constant development of regulatory guidelines for food labelling communication raise a need for further consumer understanding. By assessing previous observational and quantitative findings on food products'
The rise of China and 1978-market reforms contrasts other post-socialist economies process of institutional and economic change. President Deng Xiaoping announced China’s continued commitment to socialism, yet his leadership is by some viewed to be the most radical social and economic transformation in contemporary Chinese history. One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Chinese reform period
Statsansvaret för folkmord har en jus cogens status i internationell sedvanerätt och utgår från den generella hänförbarhetsregeln: huruvida de inom staten aktiva personer eller grupper är verksamma, eller åtminstone kan anses vara verksamma å statens vägnar är avgörande för att staten kan hållas ansvarig. För att icke-statliga aktörer kan vara hänförliga till staten måste förhållandet dem emellan State responsibility for commission of genocide has a jus cogens status in customary international law and is based on the general rule of attribution: whether the persons or groups acting within the State are acting, or at least can be treated as acting on behalf of the State is key for State responsibility to arise. For non-state actors to be attributable to the State the relationship between th
Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. In this thesis the compounding of different river and coastal flood combinations at three case study sites were studied through the use of 1D/2D-hydraulic modelling software LISFLOOD- FP. The areas were; Henån, Äng
Despite policy efforts to reduce waste and to recycle material, household waste in Europe continues to grow. In Sweden, most 290 municipalities use volume-based tariffs for household waste management. This report is about two alternative policies for household waste: (1) a weight based waste system and (2) a system of kerbside containers for sorted waste (FNI). It is a case study of policy develo
Searches for the Higgs boson decays H→ee and H→eμ are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC. No significant signals are observed, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, the observed (expected) upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the bran
This article offers narratives of individual journeys through the scholarship of leading in three different contexts—Asia, Europe, and Africa. Together, these narratives argue for the need to make explicit the diversity of practices of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), with each practice inextricably tied to specific geographical, sociocultural, and political contexts. In offering t
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of lymph nodes (LN) by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is routinely used in many institutions but it is not uniformly accepted mainly because of the lack of guidelines and a cytopathological diagnostic classification. A committee of cytopathologists has developed a system of performance, classification, and reporting for LN-FNAC. METHODS: The committee members pre
Context. NGC 2264 is a young cluster whose accretion properties can be investigated in detail by taking advantage of the FLAMES data in the context of the Gaia-ESO Survey. In fact, the analysis of the Hα emission line profile can provide us with information about the accretion and ejection activity of young stars. However, a strong nebular emission that contributes to the Hα emission can alter the
The pharmaceutical and healthcare sector is a prime target for cybercriminals around the world. These cyber-attacks represent significant challenges in the context of data protection and data security. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict rules regarding the processing and analysis of personal data. In conventional approaches, data analysts request data from various sources
Rapporten sammanfattar fjärilsinventeringar utförda under 2015 inom Biogeografisk uppföljningsom drivs av Naturvårdsverket. I fjällen kunde trots kallt och ostadigt väder 24 ytorinventeras och totalt noterades 12 högnordiska blåvingar på 6 ytor och 4 dvärgpärlemorfjärilarpå 3 ytor. Inventeringen gav dessvärre inget fynd av fjällsilversmygare detta år. Svartfläckigblåvinge sågs med 180 individer på
Earth system models (ESMs) are key tools for providing climate projections under different scenarios of human-induced forcing. ESMs include a large number of additional processes and feedbacks such as biogeochemical cycles that traditional physical climate models do not consider. Yet, some processes such as cloud dynamics and ecosystem functional response still have fairly high uncertainties. In t
In the Gram-positive Firmicute bacterium Bacillus subtilis, amino acid starvation induces synthesis of the alarmone (p)ppGpp by the RelA/SpoT Homolog factor Rel. This bifunctional enzyme is capable of both synthesizing and hydrolysing (p)ppGpp. To detect amino acid deficiency, Rel monitors the aminoacylation status of the ribosomal A-site tRNA by directly inspecting the tRNA's CCA end. Here we dis
As part of the Swedish state-funded healthcare system, housing adaptations are used to promote safe and independent living for disabled people in ordinary housing through the elimination of physical environmental barriers in the home. The aim of this study was to describe the cohabitants' expectations and experiences of how a housing adaptation, intended for the partner, would impact their everyda
There are several well-known risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Despite this knowledge, too many people still work in harmful conditions. The absence of occupational exposure limits (OELs) for physical workload impedes both supervision and preventive work. To prevent myalgia, tendon disorders, and nerve entrapments in the upper musculoskeletal system, we propose action
The chi-square distribution is often assumed to hold for the asymptotic distribution of two times the log likelihood ratio statistic under the null hypothesis. Approximations are derived for the mean and variance of G2, the likelihood ratio statistic for testing goodness of fit in a s category multinomial distribution. The first two moments of G2 are used to fit the distribution of G2 to a noncent
Objective: Extended anticoagulation therapy should always be considered after standard treatment of an unprovoked episode of venous thromboembolism (VTE). It can also be considered for selected patients with provoked VTE. However, the evidence-based protocols suggested by some clinical guidelines and risk assessment tools to guide this practice are limited and ambiguous. The goal of the present su
