Isosorbide is a well-investigated and accessible biomass-derived compound that has found wide use in medicine, cosmetics, and material sciences. The efforts to employ this rigid bicyclic diol as a sustainable building block in high-performance biobased plastics for, e.g., the engineering, coating, and packaging sectors have grown sharply in recent years. Due to the biomass origin, there is an impl

De nya kraven för permanent uppehållstillstånd saboterar Sveriges strävan efter att vara en kunskapsbaserad nation – och är ett svek mot utländska doktorander. Det anser Jenny Iao-Jörgensen, ordförande för doktorandföreningen inom SULF, Sveriges universitetslärare och forskare.

Sweden's new migration act imposes tough conditions for permanent residency. Jenny Iao-Jörgensen and Benny Borghei of the Swedish Association of University Teachers and Researchers (SULF) argue this will do long-term damage to the country's attractiveness to the top international talents.

Childhood poverty increases the likelihood of being poor as an adult. We know relatively little about this persistence of poverty in the past and whether it changed as modern welfare societies developed. This study both analyses determinants of childhood poverty and assesses the association between childhood poverty and economic outcomes in adulthood for men and women who grew up in southern Swede

The ideal image of an Early Modern public execution site might be a highly elevated and clearly visible place in the landscape, perhaps close to a road, and not too far from a town or a village. This visibility pattern is also what most of the research and the studies on public execution sites in southern Sweden has shown. However, there are also exceptions. The aim of this thesis has been to obta

Thermal management of electric vehicles, especially battery thermal management, is critical to driving range and operational safety. To find a vehicle thermal management system with higher energy efficiency and environmental protection, an environmentally-friendly and efficient battery and cabin parallel cooling thermal management system was evaluated with CO2 as the working fluid. First, differen

A dilemma that the iconographer is often faced with when it comes to medieval imagery is what the fantastic hybrid animals actually represent. What are they? What do they mean? On the outer walls of the mid 11th century church of Vä, in north-eastern Scania, there are a number of sadly withered reliefs that may be interpreted as representing a number of different mythological animals with complete

Background: Infancy perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure from breastfeeding is partially determined by the transfer efficiencies (TEs) of PFAS from maternal serum into breast milk. However, to our knowledge there are no studies of such TEs in highly exposed populations.Objectives: We estimated the TEs of PFAS from maternal serum into colostrum and breast milk in a cohort of women with a wide
