Accidents nearby work zones are a persistent road safety problem in many European countries. The Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) has initiated and finances the IRIS project (Incursion Reduction to Increase Safety in road work zones) with the aim to collect and share information about best practices in temporary traffic management at road works. An analysis of work zone accidents a
Non-linear acoustic methods has shown increasing potential in the identication of damage in brittle materials such as concrete. Commonly, these methods focus on one or several resonance frequencies of the material and on the relative change in resonance frequency and attenuation with strain amplitude which has been shown to allow one to identify the extent of the material damage. However, current
This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law. The main aim is to give an overview of the legal instruments to prevent and challenge administrative silence in Swedish administrative law and to identify any possible gaps or weaknesses in the system. Traditionally, the term ‘administrative silence’ is not used in Swedish administrative law;This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law.

In this case study the author first investigates how environmental and social considerations are being implemented in the Swedish public procurement process. After that the author tries to explain these descriptions using theories on public policy implementation. A distinction is made to the food procurement process in Sweden’s three largest primary municipalities. Through the study of local polic
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive life-threatening disease that is significantly increasing in prevalence and is predicted to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. At present, there are no true curative treatments that can stop the progression of the disease, and new therapeutic strategies are desperately needed. Advances in cell-based therapies proTo date, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been considered the golden standard among MSC cell-based therapies. However, the harvesting of bone marrow is a highly invasive procedure and the number of MSCs isolated is low, and it declines with increasing age. MSCs with immune-regulatory and regenerative properties can be isolated from many different tissues; however, bone mar

A shift in new venture creation can be observed from purely profit-oriented models to alternatives attempting to also answer social and environmental needs. Because of their nature, these alternatives face issues regarding their integration in traditional financial and business spheres. Shared Value Creation is a framework that attempts to analyse these ventures and those challenges. Blockchain te

The last years of turbulence on the market caused by the pandemic and geo-political tensions have led to supply disruptions for many companies. The purpose of this study was to investigate how digital purchasing practices and trust are impacted in the supply chain due to increased turbulence in the environment. This was carried out through an interview study with buyers and sellers in supply chain
The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alternativesas well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companieshave to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increasethe efficiency of the district heating systems.The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alterna-tives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings.

BackgroundFunctional MRI (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique for the study of brain function that utilizes changes in blood flow and volume accompanying brain activation. When neuronal activation occurs, local blood flow increases, leading to an increase in oxygenated blood. The different magnetic properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood yields signal changes in the MRI images. This effect i
