The turn of the twentieth century was a period of rapid decline in infant- and child mortality and a time of industrialization and urbanization in Sweden. It was also a period of growing social disparities in childhood mortality. The inequality in child survival was connected to a range of factors, including access to water- and sanitation, housing conditions, infant care, and possibly nutrition.

As global food systems are currently presenting great challenges to our environment and our health, diverse new (sustainable) foods and possibilities to integrate these into consumers’ everyday diets are extensively studied. Due to industrialized, standardized food production, approaches from disciplines such as sensory science and consumer psychology play an important role in new product developm

The current paper focuses on the conceptual design and numerical analysis of a four-stage centrifugal pump for the fuel system of a turbofan engine with liquid hydrogen as fuel. Liquid hydrogen is challenging at high pressures due to its special fluid properties. The design condition for the pump is set at take-off, to raise the pressure of liquid hydrogen from 6 bars at the outlet of a low-pressu

In numerical combustion research, accurate chemical reaction mechanisms for heavy hydrocarbons are essential to investigate the flame dynamics of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) relative to conventional jet fuels. However, accounting for hundreds or thousands of reactions makes Finite-Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulations (LES) impractical for realistic engineering scenarios. In the present

Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar Rökning kostar det svenska samhället uppskattat 30 miljarder kronor per år i kostnaden för sjukvård, produktionsförluster och sjukskrivning. Rökning bland ungdomar har minskat de senaste åren, men det är fortfarande nästan en fjärdedel av alla elever i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, ser sig själv som rökare. För att stoppa ungdomar från att röka genomför kommunen The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t

In the software industry, the drive to add new features often overshadows the need to improve existing code. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a new approach to improving codebases at an unprecedented scale through AI-assisted refactoring. However, LLMs come with inherent risks such as braking changes and the introduction of security vulnerabilities. We advocate for encapsulating the interaction

This paper analyses structural economic forces contributing to the current undersupply of affordable housing in Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmö. It operationalizes Anwar Shaikh’s theory of relative prices to analyzethe political economy of housing shortage. The paper argues that existing policy recommendations at the municipal level are primarily informed by a microeconomic approach to price fo

The world of games is no longer a males-only field of cultural leisure and labor practices. Many women and girls, and other marginalized groups, have taken console controls to heart and hands, embraced a variety of computer games and player modes, design games and participate in e-sports. The industry and academy and governmental policies have attempted to help balance the gender equality of the f

In collaboration with GAGGENAU, the Master’s students from the Industrial Design program at Lund University School of Industrial Design delve into a diverse array of themes ranging from — Fire, Nomad Luxury, Kitchen Manifesto, and personal explorations. This collaboration challenges the designers to reinterpret fundamental concepts of living, cooking, and luxury within a modern context.Through the

Recording and analysing groundwater level data can reveal the nature and extension of groundwater processes like flow direction and recharge magnitude. The analyses can even indicate the influence of precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff on the subsurface processes. However, such analyses are only possible when the recorded data cover relatively large periods of time at a suitable frequency
