Previous research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector. This study develops a scenario based method and analyses the influence of external factors on energy security, focusing on passenger and freight transport. It does so by analysing the vulnerabilities and capabilities of five different climate mitigation strategies, investigating previous security scenariPrevious research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector.

How do we design policies that support a shift in eating habits towards a diet that includes more vegetable-basedproducts and less meat, and in particular red meat? To inform policy, more information is needed about consumers’perceptions of the plant-based protein alternatives that have become available on the market.

Grandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s everyday family life seems to have increased, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren (Arber & Timonen 2012; May et al., 2012; Cantillon et al., 2021). This is the case also in Sweden, despite extensive public welfare provision of childcare (Hank & Buber, 2009; Björnberg & Ekbrand, 2008). This “new army of pro

Most of the care in nursing homes is palliative in nature, as it is the oldest and the frailest people who live in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to explore next of kin's experiences of participating in the care of older persons at nursing homes. A qualitative design was used, based on semi-structured interviews with 40 next of kin, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. An ove

X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at thenano-scale. Their high penetration depth in matter allows to investigate samples even in-side sample environments, which would be difficult with complementary methods such astransmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microscopy technique ptychography has beenestablished in X-ray imaging in recent years.X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at the nano-scale.

How to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. We find it curious that a set of fictional laws can have such a strong impact on discussions about a real-world problem and we think this needs to be looked into.The probably mHow to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. Asimov’s laws and the Trolley Problem are usually discussed separately but there is a connection in that the Trolley Problem poses a seemingly unsolvable problem for Asimov’s F

The aim of this review was to examine studies on nursing in hypertension care to find out the nurse's role and skills. Articles were searched during the period 1966-1997. About 650 abstracts were read, and 148 were selected for examination. Forty-two articles were judged to be relevant for the study. The role of the nurse in programs was described as that of a team member, an educator in nonpharma

Catalysts are used to produce a large fraction of the materials we use in our modern society. Avery famous example is the highly efficient catalysts that are used to fix nitrogen from the air intoartificial fertilizer salts. Without this catalytic process, it is difficult to imagine that we could feedthe current population of earth. Artificial fertilizers are, however, not the only product that usCobalt oxides are known to be active catalysts for a number of chemical reactions, but very little is known about the atomic scale processesresponsible for the activity. The research presented in this thesis is focused on obtaining an atomic scale understanding of the chemistry of wellcharacterizedcobalt oxide model catalyst surfaces consisting of pristine and defective CoO and Co3O4 thin films wi

Bullying, harassments and other forms of emotional abuse at the workplace are matters which lately have garnered a lot of publicity. A series of articles in Dagens Nyheter in the summer of 2010 left many readers wondering about the legal situation for those exposed to emotional abuse and the responsibilities employers and employees have in regard to problems in the psychosocial work environment. A

At Tampere in 1999, the principle of mutual recognition was declared the cornerstone of criminal law cooperation within the European Union. The idea was that a Member State shall recognise a judicial decision in criminal matters taken by a judicial authority in another Member State as if the decision had been taken by one of its own judicial authorities. The argument put forward was that mutual reÖmsesidigt erkännande utsågs till hörnstenen i det straffrättsliga samarbetet inom the europeiska unionen i Tammerfors (Tampere) 1999. Tanken är att en medlemsstat ska erkänna ett juridiskt beslut fattat av en behörig instans i en annan medlemsstat som om beslutet var fattat av en av statens egna behöriga instanser. Det huvudsakliga argumentet för ömsesidigt erkännande var att det skulle medföra e

This project was initiated by the food technology department of Lund University for a design study of a new developed technology to dry mashed fruits. A fabric with special parameters allows to preserve fruits, without using electricity, in a short period of time. The given task consists of designing a “bag” to dry mashed and liquid fruit purée. The bag should be easy to fill, empty, clean and re-

Human financial decisions are known to deviate from ‘rational’, particularly under uncertainty and if time delays are involved. In the Nobel-winning prospect theory, Tversky and Kahneman showed that deviations from rational behavior were not only robust but also quite predictable, if considering average behavior in a population. They found that people consider gains and losses not in absolute term

Coloniality persistently prevails in the many aspects of today’s societies, including identity constructions. However, the role of the Nordic region in colonialism and its continuous consequences has been severely downplayed, if not ignored, not least in connection to Finland. Thus, this research explores the visibilities of coloniality in social identity constructions in the context of Finland. A

Background The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a global public health issue. Sweden has a national strategy for prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and migrants are one of the target groups. One strategy to prevent HIV/STI is to increase knowledge through education on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in schools such as the Swedish language scho

Hypothyroidism is a common disease involving diverse physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms impacting many aspects of functioning. The indicated treatment produces significant improvements but leaves many with residual symptoms that significantly impair functioning. Numerous patient surveys reveal high levels of dissatisfaction with the treatment and healthcare professionals. Less well unders

Departing from the increased interest in and beneficial characteristics of investments in commodity futures evident in the literature. This paper evaluates the existence of factors that may explain the cross-section of commodity futures through macro, equity and commodity specific factors. The models employed are estimated through the Fama-Macbeth two step approach on individual contracts as test
