Illumination of dairy barns impacts animal health, milk production, and building energy efficiency. The aim of this study was to assess the existing daylighting and electric lighting conditions of dairy barns located in Southern Sweden. The study specifically examined how different architectural features impact the lighting environment, aiming to identify retrofit potentials in older barns and are

In contrast to sparse keypoints, a handful of line segments can concisely encode the high-level scene layout, as they often delineate the main structural elements. In addition to offering strong geometric cues, they are also omnipresent in urban landscapes and indoor scenes. Despite their apparent advantages, current line-based reconstruction methods are far behind their point-based counterparts.

Electrifying heavy-duty vehicles at large sites requires charging infrastructure designs that balance cost and robustness. This article quantitatively compares six different charging infrastructures, spanning centralized vs. decentralized layouts and AC vs. DC distribution through a case study of a 50-charger site (≈15 MW total). Capital costs (cables, converters, transformers) are modeled, and ea

To study adhesion in flexible laminates, standardised peel tests are commonly used where macroscopic measurements, e.g. peel force versus peel arm displacement, are extracted. However, insights into the adhesion mechanisms at the microscopic scale are limited. This study has developed a framework for determining peel arm geometry parameter evolution and deformation in packaging material laminates.

The energy system is undergoing significant changes and is expected to continue to evolve. Energy demand is anticipated to increase, as is renewable energy capacity, and technical solutions are advancing. For electrical power, traditionally centralized production is increasingly complemented by distributed production, transforming fundamental system functionality. These developing factors will aff

The construction industry is a major contributor to resource consumption and waste generation in the EU, making the transition to circular construction essential. Reuse of building products is an important circular strategy, but large-scale implementation is hindered by limited market maturity and uncertainty regarding product availability. This study aims to investigate the gap between reported a

Boreal and temperate forests have been greatly affected by clear-cutting. Alternative management systems, such as continuous cover forestry and selective logging, have remained secondary to the dominant even-aged management regime. This regime has its roots in scientific forest management, whose dissemination and development have been well described. But the experiences of rural communities living

Identification of patients at risk to develop atrial fibrillation (AF) can enable more frequent follow-up and lead to earlier detection of AF. The aim of this project was to perform long-term AF prediction based on a novel set of ECG-derived features describing the characteristics of supraventricular arrhythmias present before new onset AF. In total, 12 199 patients aged 75/76 performed repeated s

AIMS: To build a comprehensive biobank integrated in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) comprising comprehensive clinomic data, proteomic, transcriptomic and genomic information in combination with clinical and diagnostic characteristics and additional ICD-code registry data.METHODS: Blood and urine samples will be biobanked at SwedeHF registration with an optional second sampling after

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have characteristics of high-bleeding -risk (HBR). Their influence on ischaemic and bleeding-events in AMI all-comers is not well described.METHODS: AMI Patients in England and Wales (E&W), and Sweden between 2005 and 2019 were included from MINAP and SWEDEHEART national registries. Patients were categorised acc

The pathogenic mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD) are not fully understood but involve accumulation of toxic mRNA and protein products in the brain. Recent studies described an unconventional autophagic pathway involving DNA and RNA degradation through DNautophagy and RNautophagy that is regulated by the lysosomal protein SID1 transmembrane family member 2 (SIDT2).

Context. While the influence of the LMC on Milky Way (MW) stellar streams has been extensively studied, streams associated with the Clouds have received far less attention. Beyond the Magellanic Stream, only four stream candidates (S1–S4) have been reported. Aims. We focus on the S3 stream, a long (~30°) and narrow (~1.2°) structure at 60–80 kpc that is nearly aligned with the LMC. Our goals are:

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is essential for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis in organisms. However, Caenorhabditis elegans lacks canonical Hh signaling due to the absence of key components, such as smoothened (SMO) and obvious Hh ligands. Despite this, C. elegans retains Patched homologs, ptc-1 and ptc-3, which have specialized independent functions. Although ptc-1 is predominantly ex

Den 9 april 2025 presenterade Miniminivåutredningen sitt delbetänkande SOU 2025:31, i vilket förslag bland annat lämnades på begränsningar i rätten till offentligt biträde i asylprocessen. Förslagen har sin grund i EU:s migrations- och asylpakt, mer specifikt den nya asylprocedurförordningen. Medan förordningen förespråkar en effektiv process som värnar om de asylsökandes rättigheter, är förslagenOn April 9th 2025, the so called Miniminivåutredningen presented its report SOU 2025:31, in which proposals were made, among other things, on restrictions on the right to be represented by a public legal counsellor through-out the asylum process. The proposals are based on the EU’s Migration and Asylum Pact, and more specifically the new Asylum Procedure Regulation. While the Regulation intends on
