This chapter offers a bottom-up perspective on welfare rights in practice, analysing legal mobilisation by young persons in homelessness in the Danish welfare state. Youth homelessness is selected as case motivated by the fact that the number of persons aged 18 to 29 living in homelessness almost doubled from 2009 to 2019. Drawing on the young persons’ narratives, the chapter stresses that their r

Updated guidelines on the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) were released in 2021 by the American College of Rheumatology jointly with the Vasculitis Foundation and, subsequently, in 2022 by the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology. In addition, in 2021, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes had released updated recommendatio

Ett nytt moment har införts på de två nya civilingenjörsprogrammen i brandteknik och riskhantering vid LTH: ett spelmoment där studenterna ställs inför ett simulerat riskhanteringsscenario där de med begränsade resurser och osäkra framtidsutsikter är satta att hantera översvämningsrisker i en humanitär kontext. De får öva på att fatta beslut för att försöka undvika kris och hushålla med värdefulla

Rapporten fokuserar på underhållsarbetet på sträckan Alvesta – Nässjö som ingår i Södra stambanan. I rapporten jämförs två stora verksamheter, nämligen det gamla Banverket samt dagens Trafikverket och det beskrivs även hur dessa två myndigheter arbetade med underhåll under sina respektive tider. Syftet med rapporten är att undersöka respektive myndighets arbets- och planeringsprocess, lyfta fram The focus of the report is on the maintenance work on the Alvesta - Nassjo section which is a part of the Southern Main Line. The report compares two major companies, namely the old Swedish Rail Administration and today's Swedish Rail Administration and it also describes how these two administrations worked with maintenance during their respective times. The purpose of the report is to invest

Objective: The goals of this study were to assess the associations of severe nonadherence to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), objectively assessed by HCQ serum levels, and risks of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares, damage, and mortality rates over five years of follow-up. Methods: The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Inception Cohort is an international multicenter init

Comparison of nestling diet between first and second broods of great tits Parus major in urban and forest habitats. To understand why early broods tend to be more successful than late broods we investigated the nestling diet and reproductive success of great tit pairs that had both a first and a second brood in the same breeding season. We found that in forest habitats great tit parents delivered

Highbush blueberry production has expanded worldwide in recent decades. To safeguard future yields, it is essential to understand if insect pollination is limiting current blueberry production and which insects contribute to pollination in different production regions. We present a systematic review including a set of meta-analyses on insect-mediated pollination in highbush blueberry. We summarize

Carbon materials with unique sp2-hybridization are extensively researched for catalytic applications due to their excellent conductivity and tunable physicochemical properties. However, the development of economic approaches to tailoring carbon materials into desired morphologies remains a challenge. Herein, a convenient “bottom-up” strategy by pyrolysis of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) (or ot

Having long been regarded as irrelevant to the high politics of foreign affairs, feminism and gender equality have in recent years gained increased attention in international security debates, including discussions about nuclear weapons policy. Several governments have adopted official feminist foreign policy postures, international security institutions have launched inquiries into gender equity

Förekomst av farliga ämnen i byggnader medför betydande osäkerheter i projektplanering och budgetuppskattning och innebär hälso och säkerhetsrisk för de boende och för arbetstagare som är involverade i renoverings- och rivningsaktiviteter. Det är praxis inom svenska byggprojekt att avsätta ungefär 15% av budgeten för att hantera oväntade risker av farliga ämnen och oförutsedda händelser. De faktis

I denna Fokus undersöker vi den svenska livsmedelskedjans konkurrenskraft och analyserar hur Sverige skulle kunna öka livsmedelsexporten. Genom fallstudier av Nederländerna, Danmark och Lettland identifierar vi strategier som kan användas för att förbättra konkurrenskraften. Resultaten visar att den svenska livsmedelskedjan har relativt svårt att konkurrera på den europeiska marknaden. Det finns d

We investigated the relationship between hs-CRP, a marker of low-grade inflam-mation, alone or in combination with C-peptide, a marker of hyperinsulinemia/ insulin resistance, and risk for cardiovascular events (CVEs) and mortality in patients recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In patients with recent-onset T2D, we measured serum hs-CRP (n = 7,301) and C-pep

Innovation and its management in retail organisations is an emerging field, yet the measurement of innovation in this context remains challenging and under-researched. The study investigates innovation in large Swedish retail companies, focusing on monitoring and measurement of innovation performance. Through a qualitative, multiple case study, our findings reveal that retailers are aiming to beco

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an under-construction material science research facility in Lund, Sweden, and will upon completion host the most powerful superconducting linear accelerator (linac) in the world. The ESS linac is powered by klystron modulators required to deliver long high-power pulses (pulse amplitude 115 kV/100 A, pulse length 3.5 ms, pulse repetition rate 14 Hz) of very h

Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the USA with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and leukocyte sequestration in brain microvessel segments leading to increased reactive oxygen species. Another important pathway is the effects of CO o

Ideal minimum-energy grain boundary (GB) structures are usually the only ones considered when characterizing GBs. This limited perspective provides an incomplete view of the possible structural variability of GBs. In the present study, phase field crystal (PFC) simulations are employed in a systematic search of GB states based on -surface sampling, demonstrating PFC to be a capable tool for this p
