The paper aims to provide a systematic overview of the drivers and barriers for food retailers to implement corporate supply chain responsibility. The research is based on a literature analysis and semi-structured interviews with food retailers, with primary focus on Swedish conventional supermarket chains. The paper contributes to the existing body of research by providing the food retailers’ own
The test of Ng (A simple test for nonstationarity in mixed panels, Journal of Business & Economic Statistics 26, 113–126, 2008) is one of the few that enables general inference regarding the proportion of non-stationary units in panel data. The current paper furthers the investigation of Ng (2008) in two directions. First, the existing sequential limit analysis is generalized to a very flexibl
Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning the understanding of the mechanisms of the IP phenomenon, the conduction of accurate and broadband laboratory measurements, the modelling and inversion of IF data for imaging purposes and the increasing application of the method in near-
47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome) is the most frequent sex chromosomal disorder and affects approximately one in 660 newborn boys. The syndrome is characterized by varying degrees of cognitive, social, behavioral, and learning difficulties and in adulthood additionally primary testicular failure with small testes, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, tall stature, and eunuchoid body proportions. The phenot
The droplet aerosol analyzer (DAA) was developed to study the influence of aerosol properties on clouds. It measures the ambient particle size of individual droplets and interstitial particles, the size of the dry (residual) particles after the evaporation of water vapor and the number concentration of the dry (residual) particles. A method was developed for the evaluation of DAA data to obtain th
The potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for biocatalytic whole-cell transamination was investigated using the kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenylethylamine (1-PEA) to (R)-1-PEA as a model reaction. As native yeast do not possess any ω-transaminase activity for the reaction, a recombinant yeast biocatalyst was constructed by overexpressing the gene coding for vanillin aminotransferase from Cap
Aerobic granulation is increasingly used in wastewater treatment due to its unique physical properties and microbial functionalities. Granule size defines the physical properties of granules based on biomass accumulation. This study aims to determine the profile of size development under two physicochemical conditions. Two identical bioreactors namely Rnp and Rp were operated under non-phototrophi
An optical sensor based on differential absorption spectroscopy for real-time monitoring of industrial nitric oxide (NO) gas emission is described. The influence of gas absorption interference from sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the environment was considered and a spectral separation technique was developed in order to eliminate this interference effect. The absorption spectrum of SO2 around 226 nm was
Bimetallic catalysts have been synthesised based on Jacobsens C2-symmetric bissalen ligand. They constitute the first examples of compounds with pseuodo-C2 symmetry, owing to the presence of two different metal ions. They have been investigated in the ring-opening of meso-epoxides by trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3). Pseudo-C2-symmetric [CrIII?Co]bissalen complexes were the best in inducing ee (9394?%
Neural simulation-based inference (NSBI) is a powerful class of machine-learning-based methods for statistical inference that naturally handles high-dimensional parameter estimation without the need to bin data into low-dimensional summary histograms. Such methods are promising for a range of measurements, including at the Large Hadron Collider, where no single observable may be optimal to scan ov
INTRODUCTION: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent healthcare-associated infection in intensive care units and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria lack specificity, leading to misclassification and unnecessary antibiotic use. Identifying patient subgroups with a common pathophysiological basis (pneumoclusters) may distinguish true VAP
Objective: Establishing the incidence and types of complications following surgical intervention for ARM, primarily after reconstruction. Patient- and treatment-related risk factors were also determined. Background: Postoperative complications of ARM surgery vary widely, with data predominantly derived from single-center retrospective studies with limited number of patients. Whether factors such a
Iridium ditelluride (IrTe2) as a two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) has attracted significant attention as a promising catalyst for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). Although its electrochemical performance has been explored, detailed surface–state analyses are essential to fully elucidate the underlying catalytic mechanisms. Here, we fabricated surface-modulated IrTe2 th
Bifunctional DNA glycosylases employ an active site lysine or the N-terminus to form a Schiff base with an abasic (AP) site base excision repair intermediate. For 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), cleaving this reversible structure is the rate-determining step in the initiation of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) repair in DNA. Evolution has led OGG1 to use a product-assisted catalysis approach, where t
Photonics technologies play a crucial role in driving technological advancements within the agrifood industry, aiming to deliver a sustainable food and agriculture, and offering healthy, nutritious and safe food for all of us. Particularly, optical sensors and imaging systems, together with machine-learning processing and advanced lighting, play a pivotal role in monitoring crop and soil health wi

What are the main challenges for fossil-free agriculture and food systems, according to Swedish farmers? And what do farmers think fossil-free farms should look like, and how should they function? What actions are needed from different actors to achieve these visions by 2050? These questions were discussed during a lunch-to-lunch workshop in Eskilstuna, 13-14 November 2025. The purpose of the work
Temperature variability and long-term warming are increasingly threatening agricultural sustainability in southern Rwanda, where smallholder farmers rely on climate-sensitive crops. However, comprehensive spatiotemporal assessments of temperature extremes and their impacts on agriculture remain limited. This study used daily minimum and maximum temperature data from 1983 to 2021 for Huye District,
Accurately predicting head motion is essential for reducing motion-to-photon (MTP) latency in XR systems. However, standard evaluation practices often conflate true prediction error with residual calibration artifacts-such as global rotation bias, lever-arm offsets, or sub-frame time skews-even after alignment. These small but realistic miscalibrations can dominate reported errors and obscure the
