Oily wastewater presents a serious environmental challenge, demanding sustainable and regenerative membrane technologies. Here, we report a green and scalable method for fabricating skin-replaceable cellulose membranes (SRC-M) from jute agro-waste, using a NaOH/urea activation route and argon-pressurized deposition onto ceramic supports. The resulting Cellulose II-based asymmetric membranes exhibi
Extreme environmental events such as Heat Waves (HWs), cold waves, and droughts intensified by climate change are increasingly associated with adverse health outcomes. In this study, investigation of the extreme temperature across Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), one of India’s largest and densely populate states has been done. Using high-resolution climate data from the Providing REgional Climates for Impa
Introduction: Oesophageal resection carries significant morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) advances in medical research enable enhanced predictions, flexibility, and interpretability, especially for complex interactions and nonlinear relationships. Material and methods: We used a register-based case-control design nested within prospectively collected data from the Swedish Natio
We show exponential lower bounds on resolution proof length for pigeonhole principle (PHP) formulas and perfect matching formulas over highly unbalanced, sparse expander graphs, thus answering the challenge to establish strong lower bounds in the regime between balanced constant-degree expanders as in [Ben-Sasson and Wigderson’01] and highly unbalanced, dense graphs as in [Raz’04] and [Razborov’03
We explore mission assignment and task offloading in Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN)-enabled intelligent transportation systems (ITS), where autonomous vehicles utilize mobile edge computing for efficient processing. Existing studies often overlook mission dependencies and offloading costs, leading to suboptimal decisions. To address this, we formulate a novel optimization problem that integr
Background Sweden’s National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) emphasises equitable access to contraception and abortion services. Despite this, immigrant women in Sweden experience lower contraceptive use and higher rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions compared with native-born women. Midwives, as primary providers of contraceptive counselling and prescribing,
This chapter explores the intricate dynamics of transnational Shia networks and their relationship with Iran, focusing on the latter's aspiration to dominate global Shiism and the resistance it faces. It analyzes the transnational character of Shia clerical networks, which have been pivotal in political and communal mobilization since the 1950s, particularly in Iraq. Post-1979, Iran leveraged thes
This thesis contributes to the development of the proposed NNBAR experiment at theEuropean Spallation Source (ESS), which aims to search for free neutron-antineutron oscillations with unprecedented experimental sensitivity. Achieving this goal requires both an intense beam of cold neutrons and a detector capable of reconstructing the pionic final state expected from antineutron annihilation on a c
The healthcare systems of today are facing large challenges, with increasing amounts of patients and overworked hospital staff. Prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most prevalent diseases, with incidence numbers expected to rise over the coming decade. Medical imaging plays a central role in current diagnostic procedures for these diseases, enabling the potential use of machine-
The N-body problem has been studied for many centuries and is still of interest in contemporary science. A lot of effort has gone into solving this problem but it's unlikely that a general solution will be found with the mathematical tools we have today. We review some of the progress that has been made over the centuries in solving it. We take a look at the first integrals, existence of solut
This thesis explores the relationship between journalism and advertising from the individual professional’s perspective. In-depth qualitative interviews with a total of eleven individuals currently working in Sweden or Denmark as either journalists or advertising, marketing and public relations professionals have been conducted, in which native advertisements have been shown and discussed. This ha
Kärlekskoden och Gift vid första ögonkastet är två samtida tv-produktioner som har gemensamt i att de porträtterar kärlek och relationer i en vetenskaplig kontext. Programmen undersöker möjligheten att matcha ihop par med vetenskapens hjälp. Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan rationalitet och känsla i de två tv-produktionerna. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys studeras hur K
Following the suspension of sending Cambodian migrant domestic workers (MDWs) to Malaysia in 2011, Cambodian and Malaysia have recently promulgated the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Recruitment and Employment of Domestic Workers. The purpose of this study is to examine the implications of the MOU on the human rights of Cambodian MDWs and to assess the compatibility of the MOU with Inter
In this study, the two peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42, which are related to Alzheimer’s disease, was studied. The aim was to study them in bulk solution, to understand if, and in that case how, the two peptides differ in structure and aggregation be- haviours. To investigate the structure, all-atom moleuclar dynamics simulations were used, whereas the aggregation was studied using coarse-grained Monte Car
Oil companies are powerful global actors and are repeatedly accused of violence. Previous research on this topic is limited, however, and the thesis therefore set out to investigate the following question: What role do oil multinational corporations (MNCs) play as perpetrators of structural and slow violence in the areas where they operate? A comparative small-N design was applied, and two cases w

The high amount of information circulating on the Internet and the consequent possibility to monitor this information has sparked a discussion regarding privacy on the Internet. In early 2012, the EU responded to this by presenting a major reform of its data protection legislation. It is the possible source of this reform that has been of interest in this study. With a discourse analysis guided by
Indigenous peoples are one of the most marginalized social groups in Ecuador. Emerging as a new actor contesting this situation, indigenous youth defenders (IYD) appear to be leading initiatives that promote indigenous rights in the country. Thus, grounded in Social Movements Theory, this thesis aims to explore the perceived role of IYD in broadening the promotion of indigenous rights and identiti
In recent years, the European Commission has been in conflict with Hungary and its continued rule of law violations. While both parties justify their actions through normative ideology, this rhetoric lacks sufficient explanatory power for why the parties have incentives to continue cooperation. The main objective of this study is to identify the implicit motives of this conflict and explain the pe
