Global urbanisation reduces greenery and species richness (biodiversity) and limits opportunities for most children to gain experiences of nature. Disconnecting children from nature has implications for their play, health, well-being, and comprehension of ecological systems, as well as their engagement with the environment as adults.In the competition for land for built infrastructure, the preserv
In today society people live longer and along with the rising life expectancy chronic diseases, like dementia, will become more common. The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist
Dredging operations in ports, rivers, and waterways are essential for maintaining navigable depths, but they result in large volumes of dredged sediments (DS) that are often unsuitable for immediate reuse due to their high moisture content, low strength, and contamination. Stabilization and solidification (S/S) techniques are widely employed to improve the geotechnical properties of DS, making theDredging operations in ports, rivers, and waterways are essential for maintaining navigable depths, but they result in large volumes of dredged sediments (DS) that are often unsuitable for immediate reuse due to their high moisture content, low strength, and contamination.

There are laws that prohibit ships from discharging solid waste into the Mediterranean Sea. However, it’s estimated that between 15-35% of all plastic found in the Mediterranean comes from merchant shipping. Economic incentives are important to make ships reduce their maritime litter, and this essay will assess economic policies to prevent further pollution. France and Spain have different systems
Abstract (Swedish) Vägföreningen Vikhögs Uddeväg har under lång tid upplevt problem och risker med kusterosion för sin privata väg. Denna studie ämnar utreda vilka förutsättningar som ligger bakom problemen och hur problemen kan utvecklas i framtiden. Studien ämnar också undersöka vilka resurser som finns tillgängliga i samhället för små kustsamhällen att använda sig av för att skydda sin egendom
BackgroundChronic pain is a highly prevalent disease, leading to high health care costs, impaired productivity, and decreased quality of life. An artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, digital tool for self-management (PaindrainerTM) has been shown to be an effective treatment in chronic pain and may have potential to reduce the burden on costs and quality of life.ObjectiveThe objective of this stu
The adsorption of proteins is a very common phenomenon, happening almost always when a protein solution comes into contact with a solid. However, it is far from always clear what the results of adsorption will be in terms of adsorbed amount, protein orientation, and protein conformation. In this work, the adsorption of two proteins – histatin 5 and fibrinogen – has been studied using coarse-graine
The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuels such as biogas and biohydrogen will require efficient and economically competitive process technologies together with new kinds of biomass. A two-stage system for biogas production has several advantages over the widely used one-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). However, it has not yet been widely implemented on a large scale. Biohydro
Extreme heat and heatwaves constitute a growing challenge för municipal planning in relation to climate change. The aim of this study is to examine how risks related to extreme heat are addressed in the comprehensive planning of Malmö, Landskrona and Hässleholm, and also see how these approaches can be understood in relation to urban resilience and the PCCC framework created by Jabareen (2015) - P
The reaction between the SO5– radical and MnII has been proposed to be the most important process for regeneration of MnIII in the MnIII/II-catalysed autoxidation of SIV in acidic aqueous solution. In the present study, the second-order rate constant for this reaction has been determined at pH 3. 0 and 10 mmol dm–3 ionic strength by use of pulse radiolysis. The study was performed in the presence
According to the 6th chapter, section 2(a) of the Children and Parents code, the best interest of the child shall constitute the main consideration in the determination of all questions concerning custody, residence and contact. Part of the assessment of the best interest of the child, given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child, shall be the views of the child in questio
