This study examines the long-run impact of air pollution exposure at the month of birth and during pregnancy on labour outcomes in Germany. I match air pollution levels on a federal-state level to a longitudinal survey sample on individuals born in Germany. The study focuses on individuals born between 1985 to 1992, as this time period relates to consistent economic growth in Germany. The main ide

The transition towards renewable energy and electrification is expected to accelerate in the coming decades. This change is being studied by several actors, in Sweden most notably by Svenska kraft- nät, the Swedish TSO. They have recently constructed four different scenarios, two of which explore a future with a doubling of electricity consumption from year 2022 to year 2045. These two scenarios h

When it comes to predicting biological outcomes, be they single adaptations, or whole ecosystem shifts, we have still to build many bridges in our understanding of how each level of life is connected. Though exceedingly complex, analysing communities is vital in comprehending how single species, or ecosystems, may fare in this changing world. This study aims to answer questions about plant-pollina

Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera begreppet existentiell hälsa ur ett antropologiskt, teoretiskt och genealogiskt perspektiv. Hur förstås och används begreppet i den svenska kontexten, i till exempel tidningar, studiegrupper etc. Uppsatsen innehåller dessutom en begränsad intervjustudie om hur några individer i olika åldrar, situationer och med olika utbildningar förstår begreppet existentiell hThe purpose of this thesis is to study the concept of existentiel helth (Swedish: Existentiell hälsa) from an anthropological, theoretical and genealogical perspective, including when and where the concept came to be in Sweden. I will also investigate how understood and used the concept is in today´s Swedish society, through both litterature review and in-depth interviews. The main research questi

Härma historien och rör om i sanden! En mångfald av arter och livsmiljöer skapar förutsättningar för mer än vi kanske tänker på i det dagliga livet. Grödor anpassade till olika klimat och jordmån, naturlig bekämpning av skadedjur genom rovlevande skalbaggar och andra insekter samt baljväxter och svampar som hjälper växternas näringsupptag på traven ger förutsättningar för en effektivare och långsThe conservation value of sandy habitats for a flora and fauna adapted to open, light, dry, warm, and often nutrient-poor conditions, is well recognized. Today this environment is threatened by lack of disturbance, fragmentation and exploitation, acidification and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional management such as mowing and grazing have proven unsuitable for restoring pop

Introduktion: Posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD) drabbar var femte patient som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning. Länge ansågs överlevnad efter intensivvård avgöra hur vårdkvaliteten var, men på senare år har ett skifte har skett där fokus ligger på “Health-related Quality of Life” efter intensivvård som måttstock. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva effekten av icke-farmakologiska

Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system

Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 14 (PARP14) is an ADP-ribosyltransferase, an enzyme whose catalytic activity is to transfer ADP ribose (ADPr) to a target molecule, utilizing its substrate NAD+. PARP14 has been discovered to partake in the development of different kinds of cancers such as multiple myeloma, B-cell lymphoma and sarcoma, which has led to the interest of using PARP14 as a drug target for

Abstract Background: Caring for tracheostomized patients in the intensive care unit is a common practice, and there are many advantages to having an endotracheal tube. It is for example easier to wean from a ventilator, facilitates oral hygiene and intake, and leads to earlier use of speaking valves while still needing respiratory assistance. Specialist nurses are invaluable in terms of patient

Title: Improved Methods for Assessing Logistics Carbon Footprint Supervisors: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Lund University and Magnus Gille, Senior solution Architect, Scania CV AB Problem definition: Sustainability and carbon footprint assessment have gained importance, driven by customer demand and supply chain transparency. However, the involvement of multip

Killer acquisitions pose a significant concern in antitrust law as they threaten the existence of innovative startups, which are vital for driving growth and introducing new products and services in industries. When dominant incumbents acquire these competitor, their potential for innovation is snuffed out before it can be realised. Preserving competition is crucial for antitrust law especially in

Autonomous systems, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are continuously integrated into our everyday lives. Accompanying this trend is a renewed distrust and concern that technological development may outpace creator control with deleterious results for society. The trustworthiness of the systems and the organisations that operate them is gaining greater attention in public discourse, m

Denna C-uppsats har till syfte att undersöka hur Sveriges rörliga växelkurs har påverkat landets återhämtning i samband med ekonomiska kriser. En jämförelse har gjorts med våra grannländer Danmark och Finland, som till skillnad från Sverige har en fast växelkurs mot euron. I studien jämförs ländernas utveckling utifrån ett antal ekonomiska variabler under perioderna efter tre stora ekonomiska kris

Som en del av EU:s gröna omställning har det vid årsskiftet till 2023 införts inledande krav i en energitaxonomi på företag som tillhandahåller finansiella tjänster, däribland fastighetsföretag. Företagens investeringar ska nu klassas som hållbara eller icke hållbara. Ytterligare en del i EU:s gröna omställning är att unionens befintliga bestånd får nya energieffektiviseringskrav. Som en lösning pAs a part of the Green Deal within the EU, as of the start of 2023, new demands have been put in place in an energy taxonomy on companies providing financial services, a category in which real estate companies are included. The investments of these companies are now to be classified as sustainable or not sustainable. Another part of the shift towards sustainability within the EU is that the existi

Abstract Tunnels are one of the most complex and delicate elements of the road system. Assessing fire behaviour and fire severity remains the biggest source of uncertainty in risk assessment and is an essential step in the tunnel design process. This study focuses on investigating the reliability and accuracy of different available tools to describe tunnel fire dynamics, with a focus on assessing
