Development of antifouling ultrafiltration PES membranes for concentration of hemicellulose

A new approach for one‐stage facile membrane modification during non‐solvent induced phase separation (NIPS)‐process is proposed. The novelty of this study is that cheap and commercially available anionic high molecular polyacrylamide‐based flocculant (AHMPF) is applied for the first time as an additive to coagulation bath (CB). The series of polyethersulfone membranes were prepared using 0.05–0.3

Lyngsjö och de gyllene altarna

Artikeln kompletterar två tidigare texter i tidskriften Ale 2020: 2–3 om Lyngsjö i Skåne. Elisabeth Reuterswärd söker här bakgrunden till dopfuntens ovanliga motiv, medan Sten Skansjö förklarar utvecklingen i socknen över tid. Denna artikel uppmärksammar, att dopfunten har spår av bemålning, kommenterar kyrkans herrskapsgalleri, korrigerar upplysningarna om antalet gyllene altare i Norden, visar aThe article presents a supplement to two earlier texts in the periodical Ale 2020: 2–3 on Lyngsjö in Scania. Elisabeth Reuterswärd here seeks the background for the unusual motif of the baptismal font, where Sten Skansjö tries to explain the development in the parish over time. The present article draws attention to the fact that the font has traces of painting, comments on the upper gallery of th

Gendered Sustainability: Are Public Spaces Designed for Girls Good for Everyone? Examining Female Participation as a Strategy for Inclusive Public Space

This article examines female participation as a strategy for sustainable development. The increasing interest in female participation as a sustainability strategy on an international scale, underscores the need for critical examinations of this approach. Centring on contemporary Sweden as a prominent site of this development, this article investigates the municipal use of gendered design processes

The sensitivity of pressure-based knock threshold values to alternative fuels : A comparison of methanol vs. gasoline

The heavy-duty industry typically uses a high cetane fuel to power their vehicles, currently typically fossil diesel. Switching to renewable fuels such as methanol requires a major changeover in engine technology. Due to the high octane number of methanol, the diesel engines will have to be replaced by more suitable spark-ignited engines. An accurate knock control system will then be needed to acc

Epigenome-wide association study of DNA methylation in maternal blood leukocytes with BMI in pregnancy and gestational weight gain

Objectives: We aimed to discover CpG sites with differential DNA methylation in peripheral blood leukocytes associated with body mass index (BMI) in pregnancy and gestational weight gain (GWG) in women of European and South Asian ancestry. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate how the identified sites were associated with methylation quantitative trait loci, gene ontology, and cardiometabolic param

The impact of COVID-19 on aflibercept treatment of neovascular AMD in Sweden – data from the Swedish Macula Register

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the real-world aflibercept treatment and visual outcomes, and to examine the adherence to pandemic guidelines in two groups of patients with treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) before and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden up to the 1-year follow-up. Methods: This is a retrospective observatio

Neighbourhood socioeconomic status and pain among older adults—A cross-sectional study

Background: Pain is associated with falls, disability and a poor quality of life among older adults. It is highly prevalent in many societies, and studies have shown that pain could be preventable or managed more effectively at the population level. However, few studies have investigated who is at higher risk of pain in the general population, which is important for development of effective interv

Apolipoproteins and the risk of giant cell arteritis—a nested case–control study

Background: The etiology of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and its predictors are incompletely understood. Previous studies have indicated reduced risk of future development of GCA in individuals with obesity and/or diabetes mellitus. There is limited information on blood lipids before the onset of GCA. The objective of the study was to investigate the relation between apolipoprotein levels and future

Localization and characterisation of brown rot in two types of acetylated wood

Acetylation is a commercialised chemical wood modification technology that increases the durability of wood against microbial attack. However, the details of how acetylation protects the wood structure from fungal degradation are still unclear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the resistance against microbial attack depends on the localisation of acetylation within the cell wall. The m
