In the interconnected landscape of today's global economy, some nations' fortunes are closely tied to their natural resources and their effective management. This is particularly true for countries like Azerbaijan, blessed with abundant oil reserves. While these resources catalyze growth, they also expose vulnerabilities as the nation's economy fluctuates with the tides of the global o

For many years, prostate cancer early detection was a straightforward matter of recommending biopsy to all men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is perhaps best evidenced by the European Randomized Trial of Screening for Prostate Cancer, where an automatic biopsy is specified in the protocol and close to 90% of men with a PSA ≥3.0 ng/mL were biopsied [1]. Starting around 2010,

Rural destinations like Kullahalvön are becoming more and more popular as tourists look for authentic local experiences. However, the synergy between stakeholder engagement and rural branding has not received much attention in studies. We explore the complexities of destination branding and stakeholder collaboration in Kullahalvön in this qualitative study. By means of a comprehensive document ana

This thesis examines the role of consultants as external change agents for sustainability, exploring how they address the grand challenges of our generation through the provision of ESG services. Interviews with fifteen consultants and sustainability services providers located in Sweden and Denmark were conducted to map how ESG services are framed as a service offering in Scandinavia. Additionally

Purpose: The trucking industry is growing due the rise of e-commerce, which has led to increase in demand for drivers. To address this demand, the industry seeks strategies to attract more qualified drivers. Recognizing the benefits of employing women as drivers, there's a collective effort to encourage women participation. In Sweden, there is a growing interest among young women to become tru

We present a unique comparative analysis, and evaluation of vision, radio, and audio based localization algorithms. We create the first baseline for the aforementioned sensors using the recently published Lund University Vision, Radio, and Audio (LuViRA) dataset, where all the sensors are synchronized and measured in the same environment. Some of the challenges of using each specific sensor for in

Targeted delivery of α-synuclein using AAV vectors has over the two decades since its introduction developed into a versatile tool for modeling different aspects of synucleinopathy, mimicking those seen in Parkinson's disease and related Lewy body disorders. The viral vector approach to disease modeling is attractive in that the expression of α-synuclein, wild-type or mutated, can be confined to d

This chapter analyzes the long-term development of income inequality and social mobility. During the twentieth century Landskrona experienced a dramatic socioeconomic transformation that shaped economic inequality and social mobility. There were three main phases in the development of socioeconomic disparities, which reflect development at the national level. The first phase (1905–1930) saw high a

Context: Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) aims to improve research utilization in practice. It relies on systematic methods to identify, appraise, and synthesize existing research findings to answer questions of interest for practice. However, the lack of practitioners’ involvement in these studies’ design, execution, and reporting indicates a lack of appreciation for the need for knowle

A study of 25 pupils working in groups with a digital mathematics game on table tabletswas conducted in a Swedish first school year class. The pupils’ communications and actions whensolving problems, with no teacher interference, were studied to contribute knowledge about howgroups of pupils engage in digital games. Data sets, in the form of transcripts from video recordings ofpupils working in gr

We consider geometric problems on planar n2-point sets in the congested clique model. Initially, each node in the n-clique network holds a batch of n distinct points in the Euclidean plane given by Ο(log n)-bit coordinates. Ineach round, each node can send a distinct Ο(log n)-bit message to each other node in the clique and perform unlimited local computations. We show that the convex hull of the

Vårt team av kliniska forskare i Lund, Sverige, fann att elektromagnetisk strålning, som den som används i mobil kommunikation, även vid låga effektvärden, gör att användarnas blodalbumin läcker genom blod-hjärnbarriären "BBB" in i hjärnvävnaden .BBB är tänkt att skydda hjärnan mot oönskade och giftiga molekyler som potentiellt finns i blodet för att överföras till hjärnvävnaden. Men vårt team i L

The following problem was originally posed by B. H. Neumann and H. Neumann.Suppose that a group can be generated by elements and that is a homomor-phic image of . Does there exist, for every generating -tuple (ℎ1, … , ℎ ) of ,a homomorphism ∶ → and a generating -tuple (1, … , ) of such that( 1 , … , ) = (ℎ1, … , ℎ )?M. J. Dunwoody gave a negative answer to this question, by means of a carefullyeng

There has been widespread debate about whether the way in which we measure economic activity is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. One aspect of this debate is to move away from measuring a nation's income (GDP) towards monitoring a nation's assets (their inclusive wealth), as a better indicator of sustainable economic development. We provide the first critical comparison of the approach
