Public procurement and the purchasing of goods, services and works comprises about 14% of the European gross domestic product (GDP). Procurement initiatives, guidance and tools therefore can have significant influence to leverage demands for more sustainable and circular products and services. This study explores the current circular public procurement (CPP) landscape, looking at barriers and oppo

The fashion industry is currently operating at high levels of material throughput leading to global annual emissions reaching a staggering 4 metric gigatons of CO2e. Almost reaching the levels of the entire EU-28 in 2015 of 4.45 metric gigatons. As consumption levels could increase by as much as 63% by 2030 there is urgency to address the situation. The application of Circular Economy (CE) princip

With the ongoing climate collapse, there is a need for a capital switch, rerouting investments into low carbon infrastructure. Green bonds are a new financial vehicle aimed to facilitate this transition. Through signaling the issuers’ intent to use the proceeds of the bonds towards environmentally beneficial activities, they increase transparency and allow investors to better calculate risks while

Background/introduction: E-commerce is becoming a natural part of retail business. In order to achieve a competitive edge, companies are shifting to omni channel retailing where channel integration is explored in the search for potential improvements in connection with customer offer and costs. One solution is to integrate inventories and offer improved order fulfilment by using both warehouse and

Under senare decennier har det förekommit frekventa politiska utspel såväl som lagändringar när det gäller socialbidragstagande. Dessa hänger samman med ett allmänt omfamnade av ”aktiveringspolitik” när det gäller arbetslöshet i stort. Vi har till följd av detta omfamnande sett en allt större sammanblandning mellan arbetsmarknads- och socialpolitik, vilket har lett till utökad samverkan mellan til

Based on previous research regarding employment among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the clinical description of ASD, this study focused on ten work environment factors: emotional demands, variation of work, predictability, role clarity, leadership, social support from colleagues and supervisor, social community, inclusivity, and using strengths. These work environment factors

Riskfaktorer för Parkinsons sjukdom Parkinsons sjukdom är en kronisk, progressiv neurologisk sjukdom som drabbar över 1 % av personer över 65 år. Vid sjukdomen dör nervceller i hjärnan som producerar signalsubstansen dopamin. Dopamin behövs för att skicka signaler mellan hjärncellerna. På grund av bristen på dopamin får hjärnan svårare att kontrollera och styra nervsignaler som bland annat styr kBackground: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 1% of individuals over the age of 60 years. Approximately 90% of the PD cases are idiopathic, where the etiology is multifactorial and caused by gene-environment interactions. Exposure to various environmental factors have seen to be strongly associated with an increased or decreased PD risk. We aimed t

Det har länge pågått diskussioner om hur Visingsögruppen blev avsatt. Målet med den här studien är att få mer insikt i sedimentens litologiska sammansättning, provenans och genom att sätta upp ett sekvensstratigrafiskt ramverk kunna definiera depositionsprocesser. Studien fokuserade på sediment som tillhör den Mellersta formationen i Visingsögruppen, belägna vid Näs, Visingsö, Sverige. Metoderna sThe depositional setting of the Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group has long been a subject of discussion. This study aims to provide additional insights into the lithological composition and provenance of the sediments and to provide a sequence stratigraphic framework in order to define the depositional setting. It focuses on rocks belonging to the Middle Formation of the Visingsö Group located at the
