Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p
The interest for corporate governance as a research subject has surged over the past decades as a result of a number of publicised corporate scandals. These events highlighted the substantial impact that poor decision making at board level can have on a firm and its stakeholders. In an effort to counter the threat of dysfunctional boards, stricter corporate governance regulations have been enforce
The construction industry generates a significant amount of waste and serious environmental impacts. Denmark has an ambitious climate goal to stay within the 1.5-2.0-degree target and transition to a circular economy. However, transitioning away from the well-accepted linear take-make-waste model triggers uncertainty and risk among stakeholders across the value chain within the supply chain for bu
The purpose is to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the AEG by exploring the perceptions of two groups namely, (i) auditors and (ii) the users of the audited financial statements. This research is conducted in the Indian context, meaning the participants of this study are Indian Chartered Accountants and users of financial statements. The analysis of the findings of this study suggest
In March 2018, the Turkish armed forces, together with the Syrian National Army, seized control of the Syrian district of Afrin bordering Turkey as a result of the military offensive called 'Operation Olive Branch'. This takeover marked the beginning of Turkish military rule of Afrin, which has now extended over six years. Afrin’s case is a significant example of Turkey's broader forei
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest
This thesis investigates the hydrosocial territory of Sicily through a political ecology lens, analysing how water insecurity is due to climate change, state absence, socio-political fragmentation. Although water is physically present on the island, its mismanagement, shaped by clientelism, infrastructural decay, and political dysfunction, produces a sense of insecurity, exacerbating social inequa
All employers are obligated by law to work systematically with the physical, psychological and social work environment. This means that the employer must work running and preventively with any problems that might cause the employees health¬problems or result in casualties. The laws and regulations along with public recommendations regarding the psychological and sociological work environment will
The UK government is legally bound to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as part of its actions to address climate change. One prominent method of decarbonisation is carbon capture and storage (CCS), slated for deployment in two industrial clusters by the mid-2020s. Fossil fuel companies are the operator behind the rollout of this technology: given the historical reticence of these co
Den här rapporten undersöker samt jämför det möjliga användandet av olika tillverkningsmetoder i produktionen av varianthålade plattor vid Alfa Lavals produktion i Lund. De tre metoderna är stansning med excenterpressar, abrasiv vattenskärning och laserskärning, där de två förstnämnda används i Alfa Lavals produktion i dagsläget. Syftet med projektet är att förkorta ledtider, genom att hitta en meThis report investigates and compares the possible use of different manufacturing methods in production of odd-holed plates at Alfa Laval’s site in Lund. The three methods are punching with eccentric presses, abrasive water jet cutting and laser cutting, with the first two being used currently at Alfa Laval. The aim of the project is to shorten the lead times, by finding a method that is efficient
There is an increasing research interest in the recovery of cooling capacity stored in cryogenic liquids (CLs) for industrial applications, especially for LNG regasification systems. In this study, a novel heat exchanger network (HEN) has been designed for cryogenic liquid regasification process to recover the released cooling capacity and develop a frozen-free heat transfer system with compact st
The need to make consumption patterns more sustainable is widely acknowledged, yet effective policies for sustainable consumption are lacking. This article examines Nordic policy makers' views on why sustainable consumption research is difficult to apply in policy practice. We draw on the knowledge brokering literature to outline how the challenges of knowledge utilization in policy are connected
Background The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine autoantibody positive individuals and define: (a) the relative risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with autoantibody negative individuals and (b) the cumulative incidence of RA over time, in different populations. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in August 2025. Retrospective case control studi
Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age worldwide, caused by dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome. Despite its prevalence, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Although antibiotics are the standard therapy, recurrence rates are high, up to 50% within 1 year, and repe
Cities around the world are leading the race toward an environmentally sustainable future, but one of their major obstacles have been the personal automobile. The movement of people using public transportation often has a far lower impact than the personal automobile, but these systems are often rigid and expensive to build and operator. Now, with the emergence of intelligent transport systems – a
Kvinnor diagnostiseras för depression i större utsträckning än män. Fler män än kvinnor suiciderar varje år. I primärvården görs ojämlika bedömningar i förhållande till kön och viktiga frågor för att på rätt sätt hjälpa patienten missas att ställas. Ges samma behandlingsrekommendationer på ett fiktivt patientfall oavsett kön på patienten? Har det någon betydelse om vårdpersonalen som ger rekommendMore women than men are diagnosed with depression. Yet more men than women commit suicide each year. In primary healthcare, there are disproportionate diagnoses relative to gender and key questions that ensure patients get the correct care are often not asked. Would a fictional patient be given the same treatment recommendation regardless of gender? Are treatment recommendations influenced by the
The lack of secure property rights has been identified by a number of economists – past and present – as an obstacle for long-term growth of output of African farming. The foundation for such a claim is that insecure property rights hinder long-term capital investments. Although the observed infrequency of private property rights in African history is correct there are exceptions. This paper exami
