Catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO using reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a key intermediate step for many CO2 utilization processes. RWGS followed by well-known synthesis gas conversion may emerge as a potential approach to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels. Nickel (Ni) based catalysts with ceria-zirconia (Ce-Zr) support can be used to tune the metal-support interactions, resul

Over recent years Genuine Savings (GS) has emerged as an indicator for weak sustainability and predictor of socio-economic well-being. This paper presents the first long-term GS estimates for Norway, covering the period from 1865 until 2019. The preliminary results indicate unsustainable development throughout most of the period leading up to the Second World War and sustainable development ever s

Time-triggered real-time systems achieve deterministic behavior using schedules that are constructed offline, based on scheduling constraints. Their deterministic behavior makes time-triggered systems suitable for usage in safety-critical environments, like avionics. However, this determinism also allows attackers to fine-tune attacks that can be carried out after studying the behavior of the syst

Vi står inför betydande demografiska förändringar, där en åldrande befolkning och urbanisering är två globala trender som präglar våra samhällen. I framtiden väntas åldersstrukturerna att fortsätta förändras, med störst ökning i gruppen äldre. Möjligheterna för äldre personer att bo kvar i sin bostad har samtidigt kommit att bli en viktig utgångspunkt.Forskare lyfter fram äldre personer i rurala o

Att människor upplever sig trygga när de ska resa med kollektivtrafiken kan vara betydande i motiverandet av att resa kollektivt och angeläget för skapandet av goda livsmiljöer. Känslor av otrygghet kan leda till begränsningar i individers dagliga mobilitet, och samtidigt innebära att människor väljer bort att åka kollektivt eller kanske bara reser vid vissa tidpunkter på dygnet.

ObjectiveOpen and endovascular aortic repair may be complicated by aortic vascular graft or endograft infection (VGEI). Confirming the microbiological aetiology is a key element in providing the best available treatment to patients with a VGEI. The primary aim of this study was to describe the technique of direct aneurysm sac guided aspiration (DASGA) in determining the microbiological aetiology i

Sharing Cities Sweden was a national program to help establish Sweden as a country that actively and critically works with the sharing economy in cities. Between 2017- 2021, it was a key initiative of Viable Cities - the strategic innovation program for smart and sustainable cities in Sweden.Sharing Cities Sweden developed and published a diversity of reports and outputs that synthesize the activi

A general LCA model for the determination of the environmental effect of the incorporation of a flame retardant into a product has recently been developed and presented internationally. This model weights the benefits of choosing a high level of fire safety (in terms of fewer and smaller fires) against the environmental cost of the method used to attain this level of safety, i.e., the environmenta

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous heavy metal that originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources and is transformed in the environment to its most toxicant form, methylmercury (MeHg). Recent studies suggest that MeHg exposure can alter epigenetic modifications during embryogenesis. In this study, we examined associations between prenatal MeHg exposure and levels of cord blood DNA methylation (

Fibrotic scar tissue limits central nervous system regeneration in adult mammals. The extent of fibrotic tissue generation and distribution of stromal cells across different lesions in the brain and spinal cord has not been systematically investigated in mice and humans. Furthermore, it is unknown whether scar-forming stromal cells have the same origin throughout the central nervous system and in

Finding ways to use limited resources to reach ambitious visions, what we call strategizing, is always a challenge. Possibly, the challenge is greater in public sector organizations aiming to fulfil a political vision for a future society. It is more challenging because public services have many and varied stakeholders and institutional arrangements and deliver different kinds of services and prod

The transformation of aldose-based carbohydrates into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is very challenging as compared to ketose-based carbohydrates, but the formers are more abundant and cheaper. Here, a series of sulfated complex metal oxides were synthesized for the conversion of aldose-based mono-, di-, and poly-saccharides, as well as starchy food waste into EMF. The catalysts were carefully char

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that a vision can make explicit values and priorities in an organization. It elaborates on the use of strategic cost management and how it can be used, not solely but in connection with other more qualitative data. The book discusses performance management. It elaborates o

Trees have the potential to improve urban air quality as leaves and needles capture air pollutants from the air, but further empirical data has been requested to quantify these effects. We measured the concentration of 32 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in leaves of pin oak (Quercus palustris) and needles of black pine (Pinus nigra) in the City of Gothenburg, Sweden, during the summer of 2

The oxidation of copper is essential for several fields, such as corrosion, catalytic methanol synthesis, and CO2 electroreduction. However, the understanding of the oxidation of copper under various conditions is not complete. Here, we study the oxidation of the vicinal Cu(911) surface by O2 with in-situ Surface X-ray Diffraction. It was found that the surface facets to (410), (401), and (100) wh
