A protective coating is often used on the cladding of wooden facades to limit the absorption of moisture. Low wood moisture content (MC) is essential to obtain satisfactory durability performance. Wood density is known to influence the water sorption and crack formation of uncoated wood. However, the effect of density on the aforementioned behaviors of coated spruce is not yet fully understood. Si

Background: The optimal way of pacing in patients with an indication for pacing and concomitant first-degree atrioventricular (AV)–block is not known, and consequently, firm guidelines on this topic are lacking. This study explored the current pacemaker programming pattern in patients with first-degree AV-block who have a dual chamber pacemaker without cardiac resynchronization. Methods: The study

Rapporten handlar om civilsamhällets ledare och bygger på en enkätundersökning som genomfördes under hösten 2017 med 140 ledare för nationella och regionala organisationer i det civila samhället i Sverige (N. 140). Syftet med rapporten är att ge en bred bild av dessa ledares positioner, de resurser de förfogar över, deras aktiviteter och inflytande, deras erfarenheter kring ledarskap och motiv til

Contrary to the general trend in European countries since the 2000s, Sweden has neither restricted its migration policy nor limited the rights of migrants. This changed with the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 when the government introduced policy changes to curb the number of arrivals and impede the granting of residence permits. Civil society organizations are significantly involved in the reception of

In recent years, it has been recognized that the seismic wave equation solved with a finite-difference method in time causes a predictable and removable error through the use of so-called time-dispersion transforms. These transforms were thought not to apply to visco-elastic media. However, in this paper we demonstrate that the time-dispersion transforms remain applicable when the visco-elastic wa

Signal apparition is a recent signal processing advance that has numerous applications in seismic data acquisition and processing. In this paper we review the basic principles of signal apparition and discuss applications related to simultaneous source acquisition. We discuss the generalization of the technique to large number of sources and the application in a full 3D configuration enabling larg

Introduction: Movement quality, represented in unrestricted movements, flow and pleasure, is often lacking in people with autism. One aspect is the non-verbal expression of the present emotional and psychological state of an individual. Purpose: To describe the meaning of movement quality in autism, as experienced by specialized physiotherapists. Method: Ten physiotherapists were interviewed. The

In the early 1960s, the first issues of the Scandinavian Roll of Arms were published. The initiative was taken in the Scanian branch of Societas Heraldica Scandinavica, but the roll was published independently. In this article, the development of the Scandinavian Roll of arms is described and discussed, with a certain focus on the different views on how a Nordic roll of arms was to be organised an

The neutron-rich carbon isotope 15C was postulated to be a halo nucleus (Sn = 1215 keV, S2n = 9395 keV) according to different high-energy experiments. If so, it would be the only halo nucleus exhibiting a "pure" s-wave structure of the ground state. At low collision energies, the effect of this halo structure should manifest as a strong absorption pattern in the angular distribution of the elasti

The market of connected devices, IoT devices in particular, is hotter than ever. Today, lightweight IoT devices are used in several sectors, such as smart cities, smart homes, healthcare, and the manufacturing industry.IoT solutions help increase productivity by predictive maintenance and resource management in the industry. Devices with voice interfaces are spreading rapidly in the home automatio

Hypothesis: Colloidal particles that interact via a long-ranged repulsive barrier in combination with a very short-ranged attractive minimum can “polymerize” to form highly anisotropic structures. Motivated by previous experimental achievements in non-aqueous solvents, and recent theoretical predictions, we hypothesize that it is possible to construct clusters that resemble linear or branched poly
