The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings. While new technologycan solve some of these issues, behaviour changes has also been identified as an important factor to achieve a modal shift from cars to walking, cycling or public transport. Th

Academic debates on the role and position of civil society organisations (CSOs) in welfare states largely refer to policies and practices outlined at the national level. They therefore fail to recognise variations within nations. Based on a comparative case study of three Swedish metropolitan cities, this article illustrates the importance of local, contextualised analyses.

IMPORTANCE: There is a lack of agreement on what constitutes successful outcomes for the process of health care transition (HCT) among adolescent and young adults with special health care needs.OBJECTIVE: To present HCT outcomes identified by a Delphi process with an interdisciplinary group of participants.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A Delphi method involving 3 stages was deployed to refine

The United Nations has declared climate change a code-red for humanity and the 2020s the decisive decade to avoid dangerous climate disruption. The 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland represents a milestone event and potentially the last chance to keep the Paris Climate Agreement 1.5 °C policy goal within reach. The tourism sector has responded to this critical moment by releasing

Qualitative methods are well established in music education research. This has led to an interesting body of research, each project investigating in depth a specific situation or phenomenon. One way of combining the advantages of qualitative studies with the aim of acquiring general theories Of music education might be to develop methods of re-analyzing primary studies on a secondary, meta level.

Popular AbstractI avhandlingen undersöks den ekonomiska omvandlingsprocess som skett i Sverige sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Av speciellt intresse är hur och varför de fördelar som företag och branscher åtnjuter på grund av samlokalisering med andra ekonomiska aktörer (så kallade agglomerationsexternaliteter) varierar över olika faser av ekonomisk omvandling. Avhandlingen baserar sig på de framsteg This thesis investigates the process of economic transformation taking place in Sweden since the mid 1970s. Especially, it is concerned with how and why benefits that firms and industries draw from regional co-location with other actors (agglomeration externalities) vary over stages of economic transformation. Drawing on recent findings within the fields of evolutionary economics and evolutionary

This article explores the potential for just knowledge production in Urban Living Labs (ULLs) by foregrounding epistemic justice. Drawing on autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, it examines how testimonial and hermeneutical injustices shape the formation, implementation, and dissemination phases of EU-funded, research-led ULLs. Findings show that funding structures, academic framings, and di

Among the more than 2,000 interments from the Phaleron Burial Ground, 79 individuals buried in the Esplanada mass graves are said to have died violently, perhaps bludgeoned to death. The Esplanada remains were observed in the field by Ingvarsson and Bäckström (2019); ten of these 79 were later excavated and studied by Buikstra and colleagues in a laboratory setting.

Widespread vegetation changes have been evidenced by satellite-observed long-term trends over decades in vegetation indices (VIs). However, many issues can affect the derived VIs trends, among which the inherent difference between VIs calculated from the same input reflectance has not been investigated. Here, we compared global long-term trends in six widely used RED-NIR (near-infrared)-based VIs

The aim of this chapter is to explore the safety value of implementing Asimov's Laws of Robotics as a future general framework that humans should obey. Asimov formulated laws to make explicit the safeguards of the robots in his stories: (1) A robot may not injure or harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; (2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human b

This thesis addresses the challenge of transforming car-oriented, mono-functional big-box landscapes into multi-functional, walkable local-centre. It assembles an integrated framework from recent research and translates it into a design approach to be tried in a case study. In contrast to the proposed multi-functional approach, a monocentric urban system concentrates functions and advantages in

This thesis explores the relationship between news media and trust from the perspective of the individual audience member using the term “fake news” to do so. This thesis set out to understand how audiences were engaging with and defining the term “fake news” in our contemporary media environment and if and how this was affecting their overall engagement with news media. To do so, the study used a

The thesis represents an instrumental case study exploring the planning and development process of the Norra Sorgenfri neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden in relation to its envisioned and attested spatial and social inclusivity. The thesis aims to trace the existing dynamics of a growth-equity conflict in the planning and development process of Norra Sorgenfri in relation to the Sustainable Developmen

Under de senaste åren har Patent- och marknadsöverdomstolen hanterat flertalet mål där käranden har stämt svaranden på skadestånd för upphovsrättsintrång efter att svaranden i en tidigare rättegång lämnat in bevisning till vilken käranden äger upphovsrätt. En sådan prövning innefattar en konflikt mellan rätten till rättvis rättegång och äganderätten till upphovsrättsliga verk. Eftersom verket i ocDuring the last couple of years, the Patent and Market Court of Appeal (“PMCA”) have handled multiple cases where the plaintiff has sued the defendant for damages for copyright infringement after the defendant in a previous trial has submitted evidence to which the plaintiff have copyright. Such a trial involves a conflict between the right to fair trial and the right of possession of copyrighted
