In the framework of the RECCAP2 initiative, we present the greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon (C) budget of Europe. For the decade of the 2010s, we present a bottom-up (BU) estimate of GHG net-emissions of 3.9 Pg CO2-eq. yr−1 (using a global warming potential on a 100 years horizon), which are largely dominated by fossil fuel emissions. In this decade, terrestrial ecosystems acted as a net GHG sink o

It is assumed that nursing is performed on a scientific knowledge-based approach toward patients that considers the wellbeing of the whole person. The meaning and understanding are essentialwhen conceptualizing the idea of caring for the whole person and how this is applied by nurses inhealthcare. However, the meaning and understanding of holism varies widely according to research. The aim of this

We study pair correlation functions for planar Coulomb systems in the pushed phase, near a ring-shaped impenetrable wall. We assume coupling constant Γ=2 and that the number n of particles is large. We find that the correlation functions decay slowly along the edges of the wall, in a narrow interface stretching a distance of order 1/n from the hard edge. At distances much larger than 1/n, the effe

Since the launch of radical geography, the questions of capital’s spatial dynamics and the consequent socio-spatial relations, such as the evolving ‘North-South’ relation touched on in the conference call, have been central to the field. However, according to Kevin Cox (2013), already from the 1980s with the rise of critical realism as the dominant theory of science, classical (Marxist) political

Background: Identifying factors associated with vaccine uptake among health care workers (HCWs) remains crucial to generating evidence aimed at guiding national COVID-19 vaccination and future infectious disease outbreak strategies. This study aimed to elucidate these factors, focusing on the interplay between socio-demographic, health, knowledge, beliefs and attitudinal indicators. Methods: This

Purpose:To study the incidence, predictive factors, etiology, and visual consequences of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) in relation to 3 intracameral (IC) antibiotic regimes.Setting:Swedish National Cataract Register entries from 2011 through 2017.Design:Observational retrospective study.Methods:PE incidence, influencing factors, bacteriology, and visual outcome were analyzed regarding the 3 m

Histidine is a key amino-acid residue in proteins with unique properties engendered by its imidazole side chain that can exist in three different states: two different neutral tautomeric forms and a protonated, positively charged one with a pKa value close to physiological pH. Commonly, two or all three states coexist and interchange rapidly, enabling histidine to act as both donor and acceptor of

It is generally known that, unlike structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, IDPs, exhibit various structures and conformers, the so-called conformational ensemble, CoE. This study aims to better understand the conformers that make up the IDP ensemble by decomposing the CoE into groups separated by their radius of gyration, Rg. A common approach to studying CoE for IDPs is to use low

Aims The European Unified Registries On Heart Care Evaluation and Randomized Trials (EuroHeart) aims to improve the quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. The collaboration of acute coronary syndrome/percutaneous coronary intervention (ACS/PCI) registries is operational in seven vanguard European Society of Cardiology member countries. Methods and Adults ad

Lanzarote is an island that is part of the intraplate ocean island volcanism that makes up the Canary archipelago. The Timanfaya eruption (1730-36) was a crucial event in the geological history of Lanzarote. It is considered an anomaly in the volcanic record of the archipelago due to its long eruptive activity, large volume of lava and composition (alkali basalts evolving into tholeiites). The ori

This thesis uses real data from the Bank of International Settlements to create financial networks for the interbank market using five different methods for network reconstruction. The goal is to analyze how defaults propagate to assess the importance of banks and to examine how the network’s structure affects the system’s vulnerability. By applying network theory, communicability theory, and the

Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and mos

The accurate identification of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) within steel matrices is critical for high-quality steel production. This study employs synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) to investigate NMIs in ultra-high-strength steels. Ca-L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra were acquired for six NMIs at both room temperature and 400 °C, allowing

Thousands of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants have been isolated over the last century, and many are stored in gene banks across various countries. In the present work, we developed a pipeline to efficiently identify causal mutations in barley. The pipeline is also efficient for mutations located in centromeric regions. Through bulked segregant analyses using whole genome sequencing of pooled F

In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci

Cushioned lipid bilayers are structures consisting of a lipid bilayer supported on a solid substrate with an intervening layer of soft material. They offer possibilities for studying the behavior and interactions of biological membranes more accurately under physiological conditions. In this work, we continue our studies of cushion formation induced by histatin 5 (24Hst5), focusing on the effect o

Med hänvisning till den europeiska pelaren för sociala rättigheter antog unionslagstiftaren den 19 oktober 2022 ett direktiv om minimilöner. Direktivet mötte under lagstiftningsprocessen stark kritik från Danmark och Sveriges regeringar vilka var de enda medlemsstater som röstade emot kommissionens förslag i rådet. En förklaring till detta är att både Sverige och Danmark saknar lagstadgade minimilFollowing the European Pillar of Social Rights, the union legislator adopted a directive on minimum wages on 19 October 2022. During the legislative process, the directive was heavily criticised by the Danish and Swedish governments, which were the only member states to vote against the Commission's proposal in the Council. One explanation for this scepticism is that neither Sweden nor Denmark

In response to exacerbated housing shortages, issues with loneliness among the population and increased awareness of the housing sector’s impact on climate, increased attention to various types of coliving forms has emerged in society, primarily in bigger cities and in countries like Denmark. Yet there is still a marginal occurrence of alternative housing forms in Sweden. Researchers argue that in

This thesis explores the interplay of environmental degradation, socioeconomic pressures, and pastoral conflict dynamics in Northwestern Kenya, emphasising the role of young people. While initially aimed at understanding how these factors drive traditional conflicts, the research reveals that environmental changes act more as 'threat multipliers' than direct causes. It shifts focus to the

This thesis aims to describe, analyze and evaluate how the local government policies accommodate housing segregation in neighborhoods of Malmö, Sweden. This is done mainly through an analysis of material collected from documents and interviews, to a large extent concerning a recently built area within Malmö: Limhamns Sjöstad. Through a theoretical framework based on neoliberalism and the locally p
