Adaptive reuse of buildings, repurposing existing structures for new functions, is gaining attention for its potential in sustainable development and optimisation of building materials usage. This practice is particularly relevant in the building sector, where space heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems represent a significant portion of project costs, embodied energy, greenhou

Railways are vital for climate mitigation as a low-carbon mode of transport but must also be resilient to climate change impacts. This study explores dynamic adaptation strategies for coastal railway infrastructure in Sweden, focusing on Trelleborg. Stakeholder workshops informed adaptation pathways using a Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning Light (DAPP)-light approach, which enhances stakeholder

Chains of tasks are ubiquitous and used in a broad spectrum of applications. In these chains, tasks execute according to their timing. Then, they communicate by writing to and reading from shared memory. The schedule of tasks and the read/write instants are naturally subject to uncertainties (variability in the execution time, interference due to shared resources of higher priority tasks, etc.). D

With the projected increase in the number of hydrogen-fueled trucks, it can beexpected that it will become more common for such vehicles to be involved in road collisions. Even if hydrogen vehicles are designed with a quick-closing valve on tanks in accordance with UN/ECE R134, a small volume of hydrogen will be contained downstream of this valve and in the fuel-cell recirculation system and thereWith the projected increase in the number of hydrogen-fueled trucks, it can be expected that it will become more common for such vehicles to be involved in road collisions.

This paper introduces FUNNEL (Filtered UNion for NER-based Ensemble Labeling), a novel ensemble-based framework for labeling financial news that enhances the reliability of stock-specific sentiment signals. The framework integrates weak keyword-based heuristics with a transformer-based named entity recognition model (spaCy) through a weighted voting scheme, balancing precision and recall. Manual e

Det svenska elsystemet genomgår stora förändringar. Elbehovet väntasöka markant då industrin elektrifieras och transportsektorn blir fossilfrisamtidigt som en allt högre andel av elen kommer från väderberoendekraftslag. Och mitt i denna elektrifierade energiomställning står elnätensom en bortglömd möjliggörare, eller i värsta fall bromskloss. Behovetav reinvesteringar i åldrade nät är stort samtid

Methane dry reforming not only utilizes two potent greenhouse gases of methane and carbon dioxide, but also provides a valuable feedstock for the production of chemicals. However, this process has been heavily hindered by high operating temperature and coke formation with catalyst deactivation over the last century. Herein, we propose an approach whereby concentrated-solar catalytic methane dry re

Little is known about virome changes in raw and drinking water over time, and differences between raw water sources and treatment technologies. This study used metagenomics to assess viruses prevalent in raw and drinking water samples over 1 year from six Swedish drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) with varying treatment barriers and with different raw water sources. Sequences homologous to kn

Objective: Although rare, malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) account for 70 % of ovarian malignancies in women younger than 30 years. Given the rarity of MOGCTs and the limited population-based data, this study aims to examine national treatment patterns and survival in women with MOGCTs, with a focus on fertility-sparing surgery. Methods: This nationwide population-based study included a

Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen är en av EU:s största konsumenter av naturresurser och producenter av avfall vilket gör en skyndsam omställning till ett mer cirkulärt byggande högst nödvändig. För att lyckas krävs en grundläggande förändring av produkt- och materialflöden i branschen, med fokus på att förebygga avfall, minska uttaget av naturresurser och förlänga produkters livslängd.Återbruk av bygThe construction industry remains one of the largest contributors to resource consumption and waste generation in the EU, making the transition to circular construction both urgent and essential. However, the transition towards a circular construction and real estate industry requires a fundamental shift in material flows, prioritising waste prevention, reducing extraction of natural resources, an

The governance of agricultural resources, particularly seeds, has long been a site of contestation between corporate-aligned institutions promoting proprietary seed laws and smallholder farmers, civil society organisations, and food sovereignty advocates defending traditional seed systems and local control. In Ghana, the introduction and eventual passage of the Plant Variety Protection Act of 2020

The development of high-energy density solid-state batteries is critical for the achievement of carbon neutrality goals and the advancement of clean energy. Still, the fundamental understanding of lithium transport mechanisms and degradation processes remains limited. Current characterisation methods face significant challenges in studying these complex systems, particularly due to the difficulty

In the pursuit of CO₂-neutral renewable energy solutions, biofuels have emerged as one of the key strategies. However, biodiesel production generates a surplus of crude glycerol (GL), creating a need for efficient valorization pathways. The conversion of GL into value-added chemicals represents a sustainable approach to address this issue. Metal nanoclusters (NCats) embedded within metal-organic f

Background and Aim. Economic, demographic, and other societal fluctuations leave many buildings vacant due to locational obsolescence. Maximizing the use of existing buildings would foster a shift toward circularity and resource efficiency. This paper explores two lesser known, creative circular strategies for asset and facility management.Methods and Data. Employing futures studies methods, we im

Independence and collaboration both play crucial roles in PhD students’ research practice and in their socialization into the PhD role. This study examines how theexpectation of PhD students' academic independence intersects with the need for more collaborative engagements within research groups. Drawing on interviews with supervisors and an analysis of co-authorship patterns in PhD studentdissert

We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that underLearning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weaklyautomate TC0-Frege. This extends the line of results of Krajííček and Pudlík(Information and Computation, 1998), Bonet, Pitassi, and Raz (SIAM Journal on Computing, 2000),and Bonet

Policy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU. To stimulate economic growth, the EU also plans for freight transport activity to grow significantly over the coming decades. In this paper, drawing on critical discourse analysis and Marxian geographical thought, I show how the argument for implementing sustainable freight is constructed in EU fPolicy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU.

Transgressive learning has gained scholarly interest as a way of enabling learners to question and defy norms that perpetuate unsustainability. However, transgression can also be risky and calls for responsible teaching able to identify and prevent such risks. This paper asks How transgressive learning can be responsibly integrated into sustainability pedagogy. It clarifies these risks of transgre
