Renal dysfunction is a major risk factor for premature death and has been studied extensively. A new renal syndrome, shrunken pore syndrome (SPS), confers higher mortality in all studied populations. SPS is a condition in which cystatin C-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcystatin C) is ≥ 60% than creatinine-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcreatinine). We aime
At the core of this artistic doctoral thesis are four performance projects designed to counter the consumer-driven nature of contemporary performance-making while also addressing the need to develop sustainable methods of performance. Guided by the question: how to construct sustainable methods of performance for transformative encounters? the inquiry transcends the different layers of performance
Despite global modern economic growth, most countries remained stuck in persistent poverty. Jeffrey Sachs suggested considering poverty itself as the explanation for persistent levels of poverty and low growth. The theory is based on the existence of poverty traps, which keep families and countries caught in poverty. This research contributes to the poverty trap literature by evaluating the effect
Background: Biodiesel is the main liquid biofuel in the EU and is currently mainly produced from vegetable oils. Alternative feedstocks are lignocellulosic materials, which provide several benefits compared with many existing feedstocks. This study examined a technical process and its mass and energy balances to gain a systems perspective of combined biodiesel (FAME) and biogas production from str
The initial purpose of this study is to investigate and clarify the function and debate in Swedish policy on cybersecurity and cyber defense. How does it work and what threats does the development of digitalisation pose when it comes to both societal functions and everyday services? Cyber security and cyber defense is a relatively new area of research compared with many other study objects wit
The aim of this paper is to critically analyse so-called ‘successful’ low-carbon energy transitions under the energy justice magnifying glass. We focus on two case studies that have been arguably referred to as successful local energy transitions in the literature: Samsø (Denmark) and Feldheim (Germany). The study examines community perspectives and causal inferences about perceived energy (in)jus
This paper investigates the challenges of gender mainstreaming in Swedish municipalities, with a focus on the initial implementation. Since the mid-1990s, gender mainstreaming has been the prevailing strategy within Swedish authorities and public administration to increase gender equality in society. In simple terms, this means that a gender equality perspective must be integrated into all decisio
Remaining competitive as a company in a rapidly changing global environment is becoming challenging from day to day. In recent years, the establishment of so-called shared service centers gained popularity and growing number of companies centralizes supporting service in separate business units to bundle those services and perform them efficiently for the rest of the company. The mystery, however,
We introduce a novel approach for energy-efficient scheduling of data-dependent stream programs with packet types on multicore architectures with voltage and frequency scaling. To have the given application meet specific throughput demands while minimizing energy consumption, we enhance the existing crown scheduling by packet-type dependent parameters. Formulation as an integer linear program gene

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have relevant positive and negative impacts on environmental sustainability on various levels: First-order effects such as increasing electronic waste streams; second-order effects such as improved energy-efficiency of production; third-order effects such as a product-to-service shift in consumption or rebound effects in transport. In the simulation
Objective. To study the effect of valgus malalignment on knee osteoarthritis (OA) incidence and progression. Methods. We measured the mechanical axis from long limb radiographs from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST) and the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) to define limbs with valgus malalignment (mechanical axis of >= 1.1 degrees valgus) and examined the effect of valgus alignment versus
The global CO2 emissions in 2010 from fossil energy use grew at the fastest rate since 1969. The year 2010 also witnessed that the global oil production did not match the rapid growth in consumption [1]. These recent data further intensify worldwide concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and energy security for a sustained economic development. For a reduced dependence on oil from fossil reserves
This thesis aims to reveal the role and significance of occupational clothing for the wearers, exposing some of the thoughts, ideas and opinions that pharmacy workers have about their work uniform, the white coat. My own experiences from working in an environment (a pharmacy) where occupational uniforms were used was one of the reasons for selecting this thesis topic. My interest was also consolid
