En tredjedel av all mat som produceras världen över slängs. Det innebär många bortkastade resurser och en onödigt stor miljöpåverkan från livsmedelsindustrin. Omkring 90 % av all mat som slängs från butiker i Sverige är matsvinn: mat som hade kunnat användas om det hanterats annorlunda. I dagsläget finns det en del aktörer som arbetar med matsvinnsreducerande åtgärder, bland annat tillverkning av Food loss is of great importance considering its waste of natural resources and the negative environmental impact caused by the food industry. To reduce food loss, some actors donate, produce and retail what we here entitle circular food products: products made from food loss. However, the market for these types of products is neither stable or certain and there is a need for increasing the value

Belgien är en av de mest trafikerade länderna i Europa. Det här leder till dålig luftkvalité som är direkt skadligt för befolkningen, vilket är något som har uppmärksammats på de senare åren. Ett alternativ till diesel för tung lastbilstrafik är flytande naturgas (LNG), vilket har flera fördelar med mindre utsläpp av NOx, SOx, partiklar och växthusgaser. LNG är ett alternativt bränsle som är kommeLiquefied Natural Gas is a clean and lower carbon alternative to diesel in the heavy road transport sector. It is established as a system in Netherlands and is in the preliminary phase in Belgium with three existing LNG filling stations. Belgium is one of the most heavily trafficked countries in Europe with poor air quality, making it an interesting market for establishing a LNG system. Truck manu

The assassination of Iranian top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is one of numerous assassinations in Iran conducted by foreign powers ever since 2007. In the past six months, assassins have in addition to Fakhrizadeh also been able to kill Al-Qaida’s no. 2 on Iranian soil. The three most important organizations in the Iranian intelligence community are the Ministry of Intelligence, as well a

Pea albumins are the soluble fraction of pea proteins, recovered as a side stream of the isoelectric precipitation. The time-resolved heat-induced structural transitions of the whole fraction of pea albumin (PA) were studied by evaluating the structure of the two main fractions, PA1 and PA2. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SR-CD) spectroscopy showed that the secondary structure signature

Volumetry of subregions in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) computed from automatic segmentation in MRI can track neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. However, poor quality MR images can lead to unreliable segmentation of MTL subregions. Considering that different MRI contrast mechanisms and field strengths (jointly referred to as “modalities” here) offer distinct advantages in imaging differen

Challenging conventional provider-oriented perspectives on older adults' spatial realities, this study explores how community-dwelling care users in Sweden manage their home environments. It investigates how older adults use the welfare system and coordinate widely available but disparate material and social resources to achieve a spatially sustainable ageing-in-place. Research on domiciliary care

The first edition of the comprehensive diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was completed in 2023 after more than 130 years of work. In 2024, a revision project was initiated with the aim of creating a more balanced dictionary by modernizing the content and addressing the major shortcomings. Tis paper discusses the revision process and the challenges encountered along the way,

Scientific breakthroughs in the field of cell and gene therapy lay the groundwork for therapeutic innovation, but their translation and integration into routine care is delayed by systemic inefficiencies and limited cross-sector alignment. The Advanced Therapies model of Lund is a proactive and integrated approach designed to accelerate the development of advanced therapies from discovery to reimb

OBJECTIVES: the purpose of this study was to assess the predictive accuracy of conventional cardiovascular risk factors for incident heart failure and atrial fibrillation, and the added benefit of multiple biomarkers reflecting diverse pathophysiological pathways. BACKGROUND: heart failure and atrial fibrillation are interrelated cardiac diseases associated with substantial morbidity and mortality

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människans arvsmassa består av DNA. DNA i sin tur består av nukleotiderna A, T, G och C som i olika kombinationer bygger upp våra gener. Människans "genom" (hela arvsmassa) består av uppåt 100 000 gener och varje gen kodar för ett protein som i sin tur är byggstenarna i våra kroppar. Eftersom DNA är en oerhört lång molekyl och cellerna är väldigt små (ca 10 micrometer) Chromosomal translocations commonly result in the production of fusion genes and the fusion genes are often tumor-type specific. In myxoid and round cell liposarcomas (MLS/RCLS), almost 95% of the cases carry a t(12;16)(q13;p11). In the remaining 5% of the MLS/RCLS tumors, another translocation and fusion gene can be found, i.e. the t(12;22)(q13;q12). These translocations fuse CHOP on chromosome 1

This article is based on a study of the sailing event America’s Cup in Malmö in the late summer of 2005. It serves the purpose of exemplifying a project of urban governance. Urban governance means that municipalities are engaged in implementing different strategies in order to strengthen their own position in the competition between cities and regions. The article’s main theme is the relation betw

One of the greatest challenges for the archaeology of ritual and religion is to find ways to connect theoretical developments with the archaeological record. This article explores the possibilities of synchronizing archaeological methods and theories in our search for understanding ritual in the past through a concrete case study of a Mesolithic cemetery in Southern Scandinavia. The author argues

The lichen flora of the Nordic countries, containing about 2,000 species, is regarded as one of the best known in the world. Lichenological research of the region has been continuous since the time of Erik Acharius (1757-1819), the 'father of lichenology', but there is no modern treatment of the region's impressive lichen flora. The last attempt was made in the 1870s by Th. M. Fries, but his major

The thesis investigates elite children’s lives in China between 500 and 1000 ACE within the framework of historical anthropology. Based on ‘anomaly accounts’ (collected in the Taiping guangji), medical manuscripts, family instructions, ‘children’s books’, tomb inscriptions, official histories, law and tax code, and poetry, this thesis provides a general definition of childhood and children in medi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Resultaten i denna avhandling visar att kvällsmåltider baserade på hela kärnor av korn (kokta kornkärnor, kornkärnbröd), har positiva effekter på blodsocker- och aptitregleringen vid den följande frukostmåltiden, jämfört med en kvällsmåltid av vitt bröd. Även ett sent kvällsmål med bruna bönor hade liknande effekter. Vidare visade resultaten att en kvällsmåltid med brunThe role of dietary fibre (DF) in disease prevention has been extensively investigated and prospective studies observed that increased DF intake decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), reduced the risk of weight gain as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Also a diet characterized by low glycaemic index (GI) has been shown to reduce the risk of T2D and CVD. More recently, eviden
