Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free energy carrier. Co-firing of ammonia in solid fuel-fired facilities is a feasible solution to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Solid fuels, such as coal and biomass, contain various trace elements, such as alkali metals and sulfur, which are released to the gas phase during combustion. Experimental characterization and modeling are used to study the p

PURPOSE: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk of cognitive impairments and need to be cognitively assessed to allow for individualized interventions, if applicable. Therefore, a systematic protocol for the follow-up of cognition in children with CP, CP Cog, with assessments offered at five/six and 12/13 years of age, was developed. This report presents and discusses assessment practices i

Accessing embedded test and monitoring circuitry (the so-called embedded instruments) in in-field products can reduce maintenance and diagnostics costs. Performing such access can be facilitated when done over an internal system bus, due to that it might be faster and less cumbersome to reach a system processor (on an in-field product) over a network interface, compared with the effort and speed o

This chapter articulates a strategic canvas for degrowth, based on a dialogue with the work of Erik Olin Wright. It argues that degrowth strategies for social- ecological transformation need to combine several strategic approaches, reflecting the plurality of degrowth as a movement. To support the myriad of bottom-up alternatives that are already out there, degrowth actors should put a special emp

Disability scholars have recently proposed that republican theory is relevant to think about justice in relation to disability. Following in their footsteps, this article submits that the republican conception of freedom as non-domination provides a fresh angle to legitimise disability rights in terms of justice and prevent their interpretation as charity or privileges. This proposition takes its

This chapter starts with outlining a degrowth vision for social-ecological transformation. It then traces the existing discussion on strategy in the degrowth movement and explains why it is important to think about strategy. Its key contribution is a conceptualiation strategy, which builds on and is closely aligned with our understanding of degrowth. Finally, it introduces the book and its structu

Syftet med det här kapitlet är att belysa grundläggande villkor för organiseringen av diakonala insatser i Svenska kyrkans församlingar. Vi kommer i första hand fokusera på sådana villkor som rör verksamheten i sig men teologiska förutsättningar berörs också. Vi kommer att konstatera att det i stort saknas riktlinjer för organiseringen av församlingarnas diakoni. Arbetets organisering skiljer sig

Degrowth is a counter-hegemonic movement that has the ambitious aim of transforming society towards social and ecological justice. But how do we get there? That is the question this book addresses. Adhering to the multiplicity of degrowth whilst also arguing that strategic prioritisation and coordination are key, Degrowth & Strategy advances the debate on strategy for social-ecological transfo

BACKGROUND: There has been a growing body of evidence associating consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with adverse health outcomes including depression, cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality. However, whether UPF are associated with dementia is unknown. The authors investigated the associations between UPF and dementia incidence in UK biobank.METHODS: We included 72,083 participants (

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate if ilio-femoral calcium score (CS) combined with Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) can improve the prediction of long-term survival after EVAR.METHODS: All the patients who underwent infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for non-ruptured AAA between January 2004 and December 2012 at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively included if the p
