ABSTRACT Background: In the growing body of knowledge on how human environment impacts population health, the transport sector is observed to occupy strategic position. However, the transport corridors equally serve as sources of socio-economic challenges. Such is the case of the transport sector’s contribution to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this respect, truckers are observed to carry a disproporti

To accurately determine the efficiency and range of an electric vehicle, one must be able to estimate the rolling resistance of the car. This is currently done using standardized methods developed under laboratory settings, where transient aspects and effects of varying temperatures are excluded. Given the strong correlation between tyre temperatures and the rolling resistance, determining this te

Traditional change management models have been widely used to manage organisational change. However, this integrative literature review paper questions their relevance in environments characterised by complexity due to the intricate nature of challenges and uncertainties in these contexts. A novel framework is developed, encompassing key elements required to facilitate change in complex environmen

This essay studies the Swedish law on dangerous asocial behaviour, lagen om åtgärder mot samhällsfarlig asocialitet (SFS 1964:450). The law was passed during a period of time in Swedish social political history characterized by a growing social state and a greater focus on individual rights than before. The stated purpose of the law was, among other things, to send problematic individuals, asocialThis essay studies the Swedish law on dangerous asocial behaviour, lagen om åtgärder mot samhällsfarlig asocialitet (SFS 1964:450).

Sustainability transition research investigates why the necessary change towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production has not yet been achieved and how it can be accelerated. Taking into account the complexity of the globalised dynamics underlying today's sustainability challenges, it has been suggested that the existence of global regimes limits the possibilities for change

The wind effects on high rise buildings were studied by finding and reading books, articles and studying equations. This was done to calculate the first natural frequency of high rise buildings, wind induced acceleration on high rise buildings and how the comfort criteria of acceleration performing on high rise buildings acts on human bodies living in the building. The buildings that were studied

This study analyzes the relationship between foreign trade and economic growth in Turkey during the last three decades while particularly observing distinctive feature of the last decade in terms of economic growth-foreign trade relationship. The study adopts two main methodological approaches. The first approach includes two econometric analyses based on VAR and VEC models regarding periods 1987:

The possibility of trade-offs in road tunnel design incorporating suppression has been evaluated. Different tunnel configurations and ventilation conditions considered to identify potential trade-offs, offering options of design alternatives for future substantial cost-benefit estimates. Suppression systems are regularly used in Australia and Japan. The interest regarding suppression systems in tu

This essay examines the Bavarian physician, mining engineer, and Catholic romantic philosopher Franz von Baader's (1765-1841) enigmatic claim that we think because we are thought with the help of the moral theologian Servain Pinckaers OP (1925-2008) and the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1934-2021).

The addition of polypropylene (PP) fibres has been shown to reduce the fire spalling propensity of concrete. When including this type of fibres in the concrete, the concrete mix becomes less robust, and small deviations in the constitutes change the workability and properties of the concrete. So, from a manufacturing perspective as small dosages as possible of PP fibres are desirable. Very few lar

The course Global Environmental Governance Today–Actors, Institutions, Complexity is an in- terdisciplinary PhD course and has welcomed participants from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds with equally varied prior knowledge on environmental governance practices and theories. Thus, every year, participants include students who are not familiar with international relations theories such as re

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a glycoprotein produced in the placenta, is crucial for a healthy pregnancy. We investigated the relationship between hCG levels and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We conducted a systematic review including studies measuring hCG blood levels in the first or second trimester, reporting on any of the 12 predefined adverse pregnancy outcomes with logistic regression-a

An outpouring of scholarly editions: Media history perspectives on the editing of historical sources in Sweden, 1834–1847This article examines the scholarly editing of historical sources for publication in nineteenth-century Sweden. The analysis focuses on the approximately 500 letters exchanged between Hans Järta, the Director General of the National Archives of Sweden, and Bror Emil Hildebrand,

This thesis examines the Ethiopian laws governing polygamy in light of international human rights law standards and liberal feminist legal perspective. The international human rights law regime calls for the abolishment of polygamy through general comments/recommendations issued by the CEDAW and ICCPR treaty bodies. The call for abolishment is based on the notions of equality and dignity while pro

Municipal economic policy has a significant role for the municipality in a time of globalisation to boost growth and thereby welfare. The study aims to understand the ideas reflected in a municipality's economic policy and how they take their expression. The study aims to construct a model to understand these ideas and expressions, an analytic tool which will help to analyze a municipality'
