Industrial symbiosis (IS) has been recognized as an important approach to succeed in the transition towards increased circularity in industry and society. IS involves collaboration between different actors sharing resources, aiming to minimize waste, improve resource and/or energy efficiency, resulting in reduced emissions and environmental impact. This study conducts an embedded single case study

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, primarily caused by atherosclerosis. Psychological factors may play a role in the development and progression of CVD. However, the relationship between psychological factors and atherosclerosis is complex and poorly understood. This study, therefore, aimed to examine the association of psychological factors with (i) coronary

Over the last seventy years, most European countries have undergone one or more transitions in home heating provision. Moving first away from burning solid fuels and towards communal or individual central heating systems and now towards low carbon electric heating systems. Heating transitions are awash with personal, social and cultural complexity but tend to be simplified into grand narratives th

Background and objective: There is an unmet need to avoid long-term morbidity associated with standard cytotoxic treatment for low-volume metastatic seminoma. Our aim was to assess the oncological efficacy and surgical safety of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) as treatment in a population-based cohort of metastatic seminoma patients with limited retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Metho

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningIntroduktionI dagens digitala era har sociala medier och internet blivit centrala plattformar för nyhetsförmedling och offentlig debatt. Denna utveckling har främjat snabbare informationsspridning och ökat engagemang i samhällsfrågor. Samtidigt har det också medfört en ökning av negativa påtryckningar i form av trakasserier, hat och allmänt ogillande, särskilt rikIntegrating socio-legal analysis and working life science, this compilation thesis aims to enhance the understanding of how the evolving digital landscape—particularly the rise of online harassment—influences journalism and its potential to foster healthy public discourse. Additionally, the thesis seeks to advance the field of socio-legal studies by examining the interplay between digital transfor

Although Sweden is a top country for gender equality, there are disparities in domestic labor and parental leave use between men and women. The COVID-19 pandemic changed work-home life by increasing remote work.

Klimatförändringarna förväntas påverka skogar i de tempererade och boreala zonerna och leda till omfattande förändringar i ekosystemens struktur och funktion. Därför behövs analyser av sannolika utfall av olika scenarier av ökad klimatpåverkan på lång sikt, för att förbättra kunskapsunderlaget och stödja beslutsfattande inom skogssektorn. För skogsägare innebär klimatförändringarna ett behov att öClimate change is expected to affect temperate and boreal forests, potentially causing profound changes to the functioning and the structure of ecosystems. This calls for assessments of the plausible long-term outcomes of a range of climate change scenarios to increase the knowledge base for decision making in forestry. Forest owners need to consider whether current silvicultural management practi

Floods and wildfires are two critical hazards that impose substantial direct and indirect costs to society, including the resource needs of rescue services. Their occurrence is strongly linked to meteorological conditions, playing a fundamental role in hazard development and assessment. These hazards are notably distinguishable due to opposing weather requirements, wet conditions for floods and dr

The migration of large populations has had significant importance on historical and contemporary societies. Since mass migration is a multifaceted phenomenon that significantly impacts both places of origin and destination, shaping the lives of those directly and indirectly involved, it has drawn extensive research attention. Much of the economic history literature has focused on the Age of Mass M
