The urban water crisis, including issues of water scarcity, pollution and flooding, is one of the key challenges for sustainable urban development. Reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are for instance being put on the back burner, while re-active measures and siloed governance are daily business, resulting in power struggles and ineffective governance. As the water crisis hits the most vulneWe are in the midst of a water crisis. Scarcity, pollution and flooding are some of today’s key challenges for sustainable urban development. The reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are put on the back burner, while reactive measures, siloed governance approaches and power struggles are daily business, resulting in ineffective governance. The crisis is hitting the most vulnerable urban popul

When interpreting a natural language argument that generalizes over a contextually relevant category, audiences are likely to activate the category prototype and transfer its characteristics onto category instances. A generalized argument can thus appear more (respectively less) persuasive than one mentioning a specific category instance, provided the argument’s claim is more (less) warranted for

Co-housing is often lauded as an alternative housing form offering a more socially, ecologically and economically sustainable way of living. This book takes its departure in the need for a critical exploration of co-housing in the context of sustainable urban development, beyond the normative approach that often characterizes co-housing research. Based on a four-year research project involving in-

International migration holds significant importance in the socioeconomic reality of Bangladesh. As a top migrant sender Bangladesh receives substantial amount of remittance which plays a key role in the economy. Livelihood migration towards middle east and east Asia is mostly the dominant trend yet migration to settle in the developed world is getting popular among Bangladeshi skilled profess

Under senare år har PFAS väckt allt större uppmärksamhet både i traditionell media och ur ett skadeståndsrättsligt perspektiv. PFAS är en förkortning för poly- och per fluorerade alkylsubstanser och är ett samlingsnamn för mer än 10 000 hittills identifierade ämnen. De är syntetiskt tillverkade kemikalier som är skadliga för både människa och natur. För mer än 10 år sedan uppdagades det att BranteIn recent years, PFAS have attracted increasing attention both in the traditional media and from a tort law perspective. PFAS is an acronym for poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances and is a collective name for more than 10 000 substances identified so far. They are synthetically produced chemicals that are harmful to both humans and nature. More than 10 years ago, it was discovered that the B

Denna studie syftar till att synliggöra erfarenheter och berättelser från barn till exilflyktingar från Abya Yala som flydde till Sverige, under 70–80 talet, och lyfter hur trauman, minnen och politiska arv påverkar barnens liv – även i vuxen ålder. Genom en dekolonial logik och metodologi undersöks även hur storytelling, autohistoria, chicanafeministisk epistemologi och investigacion-acción parti

Avoiding absorption in the upper gastrointestinal tract is one of the challengesconsidering targeted colon delivery but not much attention has been paid tomicrobial activity of vector material in saliva and small intestine. The aim of thepresent study was to develop an in vitro prototype model for evaluatingdigestion of encapsulation material by oral bacterial species based on readilyobtainable sa

In most mammals, the cell cycle kinase; cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is expressed as two major isoforms due to alternative splicing. The shorter CDK2 isoform: CDK2S, is expressed constitutively during the cell cycle and can be detected in several tissues. In contrast, the longer isoform: CDK2L, shows preferential expression in meiotically dividing cells and upon S-phase entry in the mitotic cy

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis through its thermogenic effects and the secretion of regulatory molecules. Here we report that RAP250 haploinsufficiency stimulates BAT in mice, thus contributing to a decrease in fat accumulation. Local in vivo AAV-mediated RAP250 silencing in BAT reduces body weight and fat mass and enhances glucose oxidation, thereby indicatin

In an increasingly globalized and digitized economy, goodwill—the intangible value linked to a company’s reputation, customer trust, and market position—is a central asset for businesses. However, this value is at risk of being rapidly threatened by unfair use and free-riding on reputation, especially through the growing trade of counterfeit goods online. This thesis examines the legal possibiliti

The royal Danish-Norwegian flagship Gribshunden, launched in 1485, was amongthe earliest northern European warships purpose-built to carry artillery. However, King Hans employed his vessel as far more than a weapons platform. The ship was his ‘floating castle’, fulfilling all the various purposes of a land redoubt. At its loss in 1495 enroute to a political summit in Kalmar, where Hans expected to

This chapter presents the long-term clinical outcomes and prognosis of COVID-19. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has triggered a global pandemic infecting over 773 million people and causing over seven million deaths worldwide as of December 2023 (WHO Coronavirus). Despite the United Nations proclaimed the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic officially over on M
