Visions of sustainable development and the future of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (and beyond)
Smallholder farmers are widely touted as essential to sustainable agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. But what exactly is meant by sustainable development, and how are smallholder farmers expected to contribute to it? In this perspective, we describe and assess two competing visions of sustainable development, namely Capital Theory and the Capabilities approach, paying speci
Rural social movements and sustainable agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa: towards a collaborative research agenda
Agriculture is key to sustainable development globally – particularly incountries where agriculture both accounts for most of the land use andprovides a livelihood for most of the population. We map out a collaborativeresearch agenda aimed at tackling the urgent but poorly understood issue ofthe role of farmer organisations in overcoming political barriers tosustainable and inclusive agricultural
Pilot-scale nanofiltration and techno-economic evaluation of lignin recovery from kraft black liquor
This pilot-scale study investigates the possibility of using nanofiltration after ultrafiltration to improve lignin recovery from kraft black liquor in a pulp mill. The nanofiltration step can increase overall lignin recovery and provide a clean permeate that could be used in the smelt dissolving tank to produce green liquor. Nanofiltration of kraft black liquor ultrafiltration permeate was perfor
Porpoises and their prey : Diet and foraging behaviour of Belt Sea harbour porpoises
Förlust av biologisk mångfald är ett av de största hoten mot ekosystem och derasfunktioner. Nästan 500 arter i den marina miljön i Sverige anses idag vara hotade ellersårbara. En av dessa är Sveriges enda val, tumlaren (Phocoena phocoena), som lever längs hela Sveriges kust och rör sig över stora områden i sin jakt på fisk att äta. Mänsklig påverkan, framför allt genom oavsiktliga bifångster vid gThe harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a small toothed whale with a mainly coastal distribution in the northern hemisphere. As a marine top predator, the species can act as an indicator for early warning signs of ecosystem changes. At the same time, harbour porpoises are globally threatened by human activities and in need of conservation. Successful protection of harbour porpoises requires un

Para athlete concussion care following the Amsterdam 2022 International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: an urgent need for inclusivity within concussion research
The Amsterdam 2022 International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport) was the first Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) consensus to consider the para athlete.1 To date, a lack of research in para sport on most aspects of concussion has prevented the development of evidence-informed consensus on any aspects of concussion care for para athlet
Heritage out of Control : Buddhist Material Excess in Contemporary Japan
This article investigates how things given to local temples generate material, karmic, and emotional excess in contemporary Japan. What, how, and why people “store” at local Buddhist temple tell a story of a community and how people’s individual material histories become matters of communal concern and local heritage-making practices. While walking a fine line between memory and decommissioning of

Sleeping habits and aortic stiffness in middle-aged men and women from the general population: insights from the SCAPIS study
BackgroundThe relationship between sleeping habits and aortic stiffness remains inconclusive and is not fully explored in the European general population.MethodsWe examined cross-sectionally 8659 participants from the Swedish population-based cohort Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), mean age 57.5 years, 52.1% women. A self-administered questionnaire on sleeping habits (duration, qua
Scandinavian Children “Out-of-Place”? Historical Perspectives on Contested Repatriations of Scandinavian Children Born of War
Children born to enemy soldiers, so-called “children born of war,” are vulnerable to displacement. The contested repatriations of the children of Scandinavian mothers and foreign fighters from Syria in the wake of the fall of the “Islamic state” in March 2019 are point in case. Norway, Denmark, and Sweden at first delayed and then only hesitantly or selectively supported their return – as Norway a
What happens if we put it on-screen? : Exploring students’ perception of and interaction with representations, feedback, and characters in virtual learning environments
Samhällets storskaliga digitalisering har inte bara påverkat människors vardag och yrkesliv, den har också påverkat undervisning och lärande på ett genomgripande plan – inte minst när det gäller det kunskapsbyggande som tar plats i skolor och klassrum, under ledning av lärare. Under de senaste decennierna har pappersbaserat material och laborationsutrustning ersatts av applikationer och digitala vThis thesis is about learning. It is about how younger students (6–12 years old) usethings on-screen (representations, feedback, or virtual characters) and how they handle digitalised learning environments. I have explored this subject using many perspectives and theories, not only focusing on handheld tools and physical or virtual materials, but also on the social interactions behind the screens,
Contact person intervention in Nordic countries: A comparative integrative review
In Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark, the contact person intervention (CPI) is declared for children and youth in national legislation. The CPI is based on a relationship between the child and a volunteer adult who provides support to the child in need in different life situations. In this review, we summarise how the CPI within child welfare services has been studied and defined in four Nordic

A PSA SNP associates with cellular function and clinical outcome in men with prostate cancer
Genetic variation at the 19q13.3 KLK locus is linked with prostate cancer susceptibility in men. The non-synonymous KLK3 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17632542 (c.536 T > C; Ile163Thr-substitution in PSA) is associated with reduced prostate cancer risk, however, the functional relevance is unknown. Here, we identify that the SNP variant-induced change in PSA biochemical activity mediates
