West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne zoonosis, has emerged as a disease of public health concern in Europe. Recent outbreaks have been attributed to suitable climatic conditions for its vectors favoring transmission. However, to date, projections of the risk for WNV expansion under climate change scenarios is lacking. Here, we estimate the WNV-outbreaks risk for a set of climate change and soci

This study considers the numerical modeling of sub-breakdown microwave-enhanced combustion in one-dimensional laminar methane-air flames over a range of stoichiometries at standard temperature and pressure. The effect of uniform microwave fields on the laminar flame speed, post-flame temperature and composition is of primary interest here. A model for the non-thermal plasma generated by the microw

In some nuclear power plants, the containment liners are embedded in concrete. The purpose of the containment liner is to minimize the risk of radioactive leakage by granting a leak-tight containment building. In the presence of flaws in the surrounding concrete, such as voids, or foreign objects embedded in the concrete, there is a risk that the liner plate might corrode. This could degrade the l

Turbulent emulsification is an important unit operation in chemical engineering. Due to its high energy cost, there is substantial interest in increasing the fundamental understanding of drop breakup in these devices, e.g., for optimization. In this study, numerical breakup experiments are used to study turbulent fragmentation of viscous drops, under conditions similar to emulsification devices su

Företag och organisationer behöver se över sina visionsplaner, projektledning, arbetsstrukturer och kommunikation för att främja inre hälsa och engagemang för naturen, skriver Frans Libertson och Gustav Osberg, doktorander inom industriell miljöekonomi.

The right to a fair trial forms an integral part of the rule of law in the EU and is enshrined in Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It provides that 'Everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal previously established by law.' Everyone shall have the possibility of being advised, defended and represented. Furt

OBJECTIVE: This longitudinal study examines a possible causal effect between type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease (IHD) by using measurements on four occasions from the Swedish Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) together with nationwide healthcare registers.METHODS: This was a longitudinal study based on a random sample of men and women (n = 2014) from the Swedish population w

This chapter on country of origin information (COI) draws on the semi-structured interviews I have been conducting between the years 2014 and 2022 with the responsible decision makers of the Swedish welfare state: migration court judges. By applying Spivak’s concept of ‘epistemic violence’ in my qualitative content analysis of ten of these interviews, I problematise the COI that judges apply when

During the 1930s financial crisis, Central bank of Sweden (Riksbank) actively intervened the liquidity of banks and the market through a range of monetary operations. The monetary policies combined with the devaluation of currency, was regarded as a crucial factor that led to the quick and strong recovery of Sweden. By making use of the balance sheets of the whole banking system, this paper explor

Wildfire danger indices, or fire danger rating systems, are widely used to inform decision-making related to wildfire risk management. Several studies have compared different indices’ performance; however, results have shown that this varies in different parts of the world. Further, many of these indices have not yet been assessed for Swedish conditions. In this study, four different weather-based

Artikeln behandlar det rättsliga regelverket kring prioriteringsplattformeni svensk hälso- och sjukvård. Av intresse är de rättsliga gränsernaför prioriteringsplattformen i en kris likt coronapandemin. Krisen haräven aktualiserat frågan om prioriteringsbeslut kan bli föremål för domstolsprövning.Möjligheten att prioriteringsbeslut kan bli föremål fördomstolsprövning undersöks utifrån perspektivet

The upper elevational limits of vegetation growth in global high-mountains have been the focus for monitoring and assessment of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. However, existing studies have relied on field surveys that do not allow for large-scale analysis. Although remote sensing data have been used for local and regional monitoring of the vegetation upper boundaries, a global

Cumulative impacts increasingly threaten marine and coastal ecosystems. To address this issue, the research community has invested efforts on designing and testing different methodological approaches and tools that apply cumulative impact appraisal schemes for a sound evaluation of the complex interactions and dynamics among multiple pressures affecting marine and coastal ecosystems. Through an it

Despite growing insight into customers' brand experience, its effect on brand evangelism, or a customer's intense brand support behavior, remains tenuous, exposing an important literature-based gap. Addressing this gap, we adopt a Service-Dominant logic/Consumer Culture Theory perspective to uncover how customers' brand experience dimensions drive their evangelistic behavior for luxury hotels. Add

Boreal forests and peatlands store over 30% of the global terrestrial carbon in their vegetation and soil. but changing climate can compromise the current carbon stock. Rising air temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and increased risk of natural disturbances can impact the ability of the boreal ecosystems to absorb and store carbon, reducing their effectiveness as carbon sinks.
