This study explores how ideas of variety were created and practised among women and men of different social strata in Norway and Sweden before the big changes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Three researchers with in-depth knowledge of clothing during that period look at their material through questions they developed based on current clothing and sustainability discourse. The materi

This thesis focuses on the issue of abortion rights in the Philippines, a country which maintains one of the strictest abortion laws globally, prohibiting abortion under all circumstances without exceptions. Despite severe penalties, unsafe abortions remain widespread, resulting in approximately 1.1 million induced abortions and around 1,000 maternal deaths annually. The interaction between the Ph

This article presents a scoping and conceptual literature review on environmental politics in North and East Syria/Rojava. The review aims to synthesize existing academic research in English on the interplay between armed conflict and environmental change in the region, focusing on the Kurdish-led socio-political model known as the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). The stu

BACKGROUND: Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, or long COVID, include diverse symptoms and remain a major concern worldwide. This study investigates the occurrence of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and headache 1 year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (2019), 12 months prior to, and 6 months after long COVID diagnosis in individuals diagnosed with long COVID and matched population-based cont

This thesis addresses the challenge of transforming car-oriented, mono-functional big-box landscapes into multi-functional, walkable local-centre. It assembles an integrated framework from recent research and translates it into a design approach to be tried in a case study. In contrast to the proposed multi-functional approach, a monocentric urban system concentrates functions and advantages in

To predict major pressure losses from pumping shear thinning liquid foods and beverage, rheometer-measured flow behaviour (n) and flow consistency (K) indices are needed. These are always obtained with some measurement uncertainty. This contribution develops a tool that allows for quantitatively estimating how a given measurement uncertainty in the rheological parameters translate to prediction

Enzymes serve as biological catalysts in a wide range of applications, from household products to industrial processes, research, diagnostics and forensic science. They accelerate reactions with high specificity under mild reaction conditions and are essential for life. Advances in recombinant DNA technology have enabled the use of microorganisms as efficient cell factories for production of heter

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP), the world’s largest water transfer initiative, is designed to address northern China’s acute water scarcity by diverting approximately 45 km3 of water annually from the south through three major routes, with completion targeted for 2050. This review demonstrates that the SNWDP has already improved water security for over 150 million people, stabi

Microorganisms are key players in the global cycling of nitrogen and carbon, controlling their availability and fluxes, including the emissions of the powerful greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and methane. Standard sequencing methods often reveal only a limited fraction of their diversity, because of their low relative abundance, the insufficient sequencing depth of traditional metagenomes of comple

The study of physical systems at the microscopic scale often reveals emergent behaviors driven by thermal fluctuations and interactions. The characterization of such systems permits a deeper understanding of how these driving forces give rise to collective phenomena and functional responses. This thesis investigates two classes of microscopic systems: momentum-conserving active matter, or so-calle

I samband med den väldigt forcerade utbyggnaden av den gröna omställningen genom stora fabriker i norra Sverige ställs en rad frågor kring hanteringen av personal, säkerhet, likabehandling och ansvar. De arbetsrättsliga implikationerna är många. Den ursprungliga euforiska uppfattningen av etableringar som Northvolt i Skellefteå visade sig efterhand föra med sig betydande utmaningar. Texten, som är

One of the major causes of dwell time delays is the behaviour of passengers during the alighting and boarding processes, such as an uneven spread of boarding passengers and queues formed in front of the doors. Therefore, changing the behaviour of passengers so that it does not negatively affect the time needed for alighting and boarding is one of the ways to reduce the risk of dwell time delays. P
