Solcellsanläggningar på Skånes jordbruksmark - En intervjustudie av markägares inställning samt en kartläggning av potential på obrukad jordbruksmark

Intresset för etablering av solcellsanläggningar på Skånes jordbruksmark har ökat kraftigt under de senaste åren i takt med stigande elpriser och den pågående omställningen till en fossilfri energiförsörjning. Samtidigt står Skåne för en stor del av Sveriges livsmedelsproduktion, vilket innebär en potentiell målkonflikt mellan två viktiga samhällsintressen; mat-och energiproduktion. En central aktThe interest in establishing ground-mounted solar power plants on farmland in southern Sweden has increased considerably during the last years, as the electricity price is increasing and the society is transitioning to reach climate targets. As Scania counts for a large part of the Swedish food supply, this leads to a potential conflict of interests between energy and food production. In the esta

The Extracellular Matrix of diseased lung scaffolds and its role in 3D Bioprinting

Lösningen till det globala underskottet tranplanterbara lungor finns kanske i återanvändandet av sjuk lungvävnad. Över hela världens finns patienter som väntar på att få nya organ transplanterade. För de med kroniska lungsjukdomar finns ofta inga botemedel, och förhoppningen om att få nya lungor transplanterade präglas av långa väntelistor och bara ungefär hälften av de som faktiskt får transplanChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and for patients with end-stage disease, the only viable treatment is lung transplantation. In order to meet this clinical need, novel approaches of tissue engineering have emerged. 3D bioprinting technologies are one such rapidly evolving approach and show promising results in terms of biocompatib

“It works in Denmark”- a quantitative study on Danish stop and search zones

År 2004 implementerade Danmark en ny lag, som tillåter polisen att utfärda så kallade visitationszoner, som ett verktyg för att bekämpa framför allt våldsbrott. I Sverige, har implementering av sådana zoner blivit ett återkommande inslag i den politiska debatten och riksdagsmotioner, i samband med att bekämpa gängbrottslighet. Ett vanligt argument för implementering är ”det fungerar i Danmark”. ÄnIn 2004, Denmark implemented a new law which allows the police to issue so-called “Stop & Search zones”, as a measure to defeat mainly violent crimes. In Sweden, the implementation of such zones is a current frequently occurring matter in the political debate and parliamentary motions, in the context of defeating gang crime. One common argument in favor of implementation is “It works in Denmar
