The need for increaseding accuracy and reduced ambiguities in the inversion results has resulted in focus on the development of more advanced inversion methods of geophysical data. Over the past few years more advanced inversion techniques have been developed to improve the results. Real 3D-inversion is time consuming and therefore often not the best solution in a cost-efficient perspective. This

Near surface geophysics applications are gaining more widespread use in geotechnical and engineering projects. The development of data acquisition, processing tools and interpretation methods have optimized survey time, reduced logistics costs and increase results reliability of seismic surveys during the last decades. However, the use of wide-scale geophysical methods under urban environments con

Near surface geophysics are gaining widespread use in major infrastructure projects with respect to geotechnical and engineering applications. The development of data acquisition, processing tools and interpretation methods have optimized survey production, reduced logistics costs and increase results reliability of seismic surveys during the last decades. However, the use of geophysical methods u

Landfill operators require rapid site characterisations in order to optimise economics and meet environmental regulation during both site monitoring and expansion. Geophysical surveys are increasingly filling this need, with geoelectrical and seismic methods among the most commonly demanded methods.

Personer med upprepat självskadebeteende är inte sällan föremål för psykiatrisk tvångsvård. Tvångsvården motiveras vanligen med att personen löper risk att allvarligt skada sig själv, och därför har ett oundgängligt behov av psykiatrisk heldygnsvård. Det finns emellertid inget tydligt vetenskapligt stöd för att sådan vård effektivt förhindrar självskadehandlingar i dessa fall. Medicinska studier p

This text discusses the transformations of the Katyn memorial site near Smolensk in western Russia, where, in 1940, the mass murder of more than 4,000 Polish military officers who were prisoners of war occurred. After the Soviet Union’s admission of guilt in 1990, it seemed for two decades that Katyn could also serve as a place for mutual reconciliation between post-communist Poland and post-Sovie

Abstract in Czech:Studie se zabývá kultem spojeným s osobností Felixe Edmundoviče Dzeržinského (1877–1926), revolucionáře a zakladatele politické policie v Sovětském svazu, a proměnami tohoto kultu v různých etapách dějin SSSR a postsovětského Ruska. Jako vedoucí nejvýznamnější represivní složky, známé pod zkratkou Čeka, stál Dzeržinskij jasně v pozadí zcela konkrétní institucionalizované podoby sThe study discusses the cult associated with the personality of Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky (1877-1926), a revolutionary and the founder of the political police in the Soviet Union, and the changing meanings of this cult in various stages of the history of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia. Thanks to Dzerzhinsky, as the head of the most significant repressive component, Soviet state terror

Introduction: The Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise commissioned researchers atLund University, Kristianstad University and Malmö University to conduct a systematic reviewfocusing on the impact of the psychosocial work environment on the senior workforce (≥55 years ofage) in a Swedish context.Aims: To provide an overview of how psychosocial work environment and occupational healthfacto

Understanding uncertainties and sensitivities of projected ecosystem dynamics under environmental change is of immense value for research and climate change policy. Here, we analyze sensitivities (change in model outputs per unit change in inputs) and uncertainties (changes in model outputs scaled to uncertainty in inputs) of vegetation dynamics under climate change, projected by a state-of-the-ar

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane water channels expressed in all living organisms. AQPs facilitate osmotically driven water flux across biological membranes and, in some cases, the movement of small molecules (such as glycerol, urea, CO2, NH3, H2O2). Protein–protein interactions play essential roles in protein regulation and function. This review provides a comprehensive overview of

There has been a public debate among academics and politicians of whether Hungary should be required to join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office as a condition to receive EU funds according to the different milestones. As the EPPO is tasked with investigating fraud and mismanagement of EU funds, it is well-placed to address the allegations of serious corruption that the Hungarian Government is

PURPOSE: Evaluate patient-reported knee function after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) and meniscus suture repair in two different age cohorts compared with a normal population.METHOD: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery was performed on 421 patients at Skåne University Hospital from 2010 to 2014, with a mean (SD) follow-up of 4.2 (1.4) years. Patients and controls were divided into two age coho

The impacts of adverse weather conditions on railway systems can lead to large delays and cancellationsacross the entire network. In this paper, we aim to understand the relationship between weather andtrain disruptions (i.e. cancellations and large delays) across the entire Swedish railway network for theyears 2011-2019. Using railway operations data and snow depth, temperature, precipitation, an

Background Chromium (Cr) contact allergy is frequent in many industrialized countries. The knowledge of the factors that can influence percutaneous penetration is very important assessing the risk of human exposure. Objective The aim of the study was to compare the concentration of Cr in various skin layers using 2 different vehicles. Methods Full-thickness (approximately 1 mm) porcine ear skin wa

High-quality simulated data is crucial for particle physics discoveries. Therefore, parton shower algorithms are a major building block of the data synthesis in event generator programs. However, the core algorithms used to generate parton showers have barely changed since the 1980s. With quantum computers’ rapid and continuous development, dedicated algorithms are required to exploit the potentia

ATP7B is a human copper-transporting P1B-type ATPase that is involved in copper homeostasis and resistance to platinum drugs in cancer cells. ATP7B consists of a copper-transporting core and a regulatory N-terminal tail that contains six metal-binding domains (MBD1-6) connected by linker regions. The MBDs can bind copper, which changes the dynamics of the regulatory domain and activates the protei
