Corporations now face dual pressures from climate change: the financial vulnerability and environmental accountability. As a response, corporate climate-related disclosure has evolved from voluntary sustainability pledges to a regulatory and market necessity in many regions including the Mainland China. This study explores climate-related disclosure behaviors and underlying motivations of Chinese

Climate change and environmental degradation are some of the most pressing crises of our time, however action is lacking. In order to create system transformation, the inner dimensions of sustainability need to be addressed: values, worldviews and qualities on an individual, collective and system level. Ecovillages seem to be spaces where the integration of internal and external sustainability occ

Glacier retreat driven by climate change has created intense water scarcity in Ladakh, India, threatening both the local agriculture and livelihoods. In response, Artificial Glaciers (AGs) have emerged as an adaptive strategy. This study examines the role of AGs in enhancing social resilience in the villages of Ursi and Igoo using the Six Attributes of Social Resilience framework. A mixed-methods

Bakgrund: Total höftplastik (THA) anses vara en effektiv behandling vid höftartros som förväntas resultera i minskad smärta och återställd funktion. Trots att många patienter får goda resultat, upplever en del en kvarstående smärta och funktionsnedsättning efter operationen. Rehabiliteringen efter THA varierar stort mellan olika vårdgivare och det finns en avsaknad av nationella riktlinjer för reh

Bakgrund: Ätstörningar, särskilt de två vanliga typerna, anorexia nervosa och bulimia nervosa, är komplexa och svårbehandlade sjukdomar med höga återfallsfrekvenser. De vanligaste behandlingarna består av psykologiska insatser och medicinering. Som en tilläggsbehandling inkluderas fysioterapeutinsatser. Anorexia nervosa och bulimia nervosa har en multifaktoriell orsak och den höga återfallsfrekven

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning om idrottsrelaterade hjärnskakningar och rehabilitering inom innebandy och ishockey är begränsad. Eventuella skillnader mellan dessa idrotter har ännu inte undersökts. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga förekomsten av idrottsrelaterade hjärnskakningar samt undersöka rehabiliteringsmetoder hos spelare i utvalda innebandy- och ishockeyföreningar i Skåne. S

Bakgrund Handartros är en mycket vanlig sjukdom som drabbar stora delar av den äldre befolkningen, varav majoriteten av de drabbade är kvinnor. Handartros kan bland annat ge symptom så som smärta, stelhet, nedsatt funktion och påverkad hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Grundbehandlingen i Sverige för dessa symptom är information, träning och om det är relevant, viktnedgång. Få studier har dock hittills

Bakgrund: Studier har visat att regelbunden fysisk aktivitet har god effekt på sömnen. Det finns även forskning som tyder på att detta samband kan skilja sig beroende på kön och ålder. Det saknas dock studier som jämför sambandet i grupper med olika sysselsättningar. Vidare saknas det studier i en svensk kontext som undersöker sambandet, hur det skiljer sig mellan; män och kvinnor, olika åldersgru

Objective: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of DNA helicase RecQL1 in cervical carcinoma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN). Methods: The expression of DNA helicase RecQL1 were determined with reference to clinicopathological features and patient survival. 75 cervical carcinoma, 60 CIN and 20 normal control cases were collected for immunohistochemical analysis. Resu

Unmarried childless older men in rural China represent a growing group who face distinct care situations. Support networks are essential to their health and care, yet those networks remain understudied. This study aims to investigate the support networks available to this group, how they change over time, and the factors affecting their development. Guided by a situational perspective on care, the

Objective: To investigate the expression of Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1(PDK1), phosphorylated Pyruvate dehydrogenase (p-PDH) and Pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) based on Warburg effect pathway in cervical cancer tissues, and explore the roles of these molecules on prognosis and recurrence after postoperative radiation. Methods: The expressions of PDK1, p-PDH and PKM2 in primary tissues

BACKGROUND: Children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer (referred to as CAYAs) are at risk of long-term health complications, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being a major concern. In addition, sociodemographic characteristics and traditional cardiovascular risk factors may also contribute to disparities in outcomes compared with those of the general population. The aim of this study was

Introduction Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mainly affects elderly men, grows slowly, and carries high mortality if left untreated, as rupture risk increases with larger diameters. AAA is well suited for screening due to its slow progression, long latent phase, reliable diagnostics, and established treatments. The primary aim of this thesis was to assess whether absolute infrarenal aortic diamete

At the fifth session of the United Nations (UN) Environment Assembly in March 2022, UN member states were mandated to negotiate an international, legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. This article assesses pre-session submissions from the second and third negotiation rounds to identify proposed measures and priorities for the treaty. The analysis, employing systematic qualitative conten

We study active human visuo-locomotive experience in everyday navigation from the viewpoints of environmental familiarity, embodied reorientation, and (sensorimotor) spatial update. Following a naturalistic, in situ, embodied multimodal behaviour analysis method, we conclude that familiar users rely on environmental cues as a navigation-aid and exhibit proactive decision-making, whereas unfamiliar

The temporality of global value chains is an important area of concern for economic geographers. This paper argues for the analytical value of closely examining the category of ‘turnover time’ as articulated in Marx’s work and subsequent historical-geographical materialism. We argue that turnover times of capitals in competition – hence struggles over time – can be conceptualised as a driving forc

Denna uppsats handlar om användning av artificiell intelligens i skol- och utbildningsmiljö, samt de potentiella utmaningar och hinder som finns för artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen, att försäkra uppfyllandet av barns rätt till tanke- och samvetsfrihet, i artikel 14 Barnkonventionen. De aktuella frågeställningarna i denna uppsats är: Hur försäkrar artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen uppfyllandet av baThis thesis investigates the use of AI within the educational environment, specifically the school environment, and the potential challenges and barriers for article 5(1)(a) AI Act, to ensure the realization of the children’s right to freedom of thought and conscience, under article 14 UNCRC. The research questions are: How does article 5(1)(a) AI Act ensure the realization of the children’s righ

Sammanfattning Denna studie undersöker hur olika åtgärder kan påverka trafiksäkerheten för oskyddade trafikanter vid cirkulationsplatser. Studien bygger på en analys av trafiksituationen på en cirkulationsplats i Helsingborg. Bedömningen av trafiksituationen genomfördes med hjälp av tre metoder: hastighetsmätningar med radarpistol, en konfliktanalys mellan olika trafikgrupper baserat på filmat maSummary This study examines how various measures can impact traffic safety for vulnerable road users at roundabouts. The study is based on an analysis of traffic conditions at a roundabout in Helsingborg. The assessment was conducted using three methods: speed measurements with a radar gun, a conflict analysis between different traffic groups based on recorded footage, and a summary analysis of S

Universities, operating at the intersection of state, market, and civil society, are increasingly called upon to address urgent global challenges, such as climate change, inequalities, and social injustice. This has given rise to hybrid roles for scholars, ranging from public intellectuals to policy advisers and academic entrepreneurs. Among these roles, scholar-activism stands out by explicitly a
