Fire retardants are extensively used to reduce the flammability (combustibility) of wood–based construction materials in an effort to improve fire safety of buildings. However, little is known of the composition and potential risks to human health of smoke emissions produced from combustion of fire retardant treated wood. To help understand the risk to human health, fire smoke emissions produced f
Almost 20 years ago, the Swedish civil contingency agency (MSB) representatives published a general advice on fire protection at camping facilities. Within this document there contains advice on what distances are needed between camping units to reduce the risk of fire spreading between them, however how these distances were decided on is lost to history and given the changes and development in ca
Reuse and recycling were important, but often forgotten, parts of managing the preindustrial fashionable wardrobe. Through researching diaries and extant garments from Swedish collections, the sources reveal everyday textile practices of costly textiles, mending, turning, altering, using old fabric or garments for new, change of parts or color, and reuse of textile material for new fabrics.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer, which is the most prevalent form of cancer among women globally, encompasses various subtypes that demand distinct treatment approaches. The tumor microenvironment and immune response are of crucial significance in the development and progression of breast cancer. Nevertheless, there has been scant evidence concerning the genes within breast cancer - specific immune cell
Natural and technological networks exhibit dynamics that can lead to complex cooperative behaviors, such as synchronization in coupled oscillators and rhythmic activity in neuronal networks. Understanding these collective dynamics is crucial for deciphering a range of phenomena from brain activity to power grid stability. Recent interest in co-evolutionary networks has highlighted the intricate in
This chapter is a dialogue between practice and theory and between humanand non-human companions about what listening with costume might imply.Whereas hearing is the passive process of perceiving sound through our ears,listening requires attention, understanding and interpretation. It is an active skillthat involves knowledge, memory and our imagination and it may call upon ourother senses. Moreov
This conference presentation address research processes that discusses materiality of artistic practice and its implications. Taking point of departure in the making of a physical artefact, the proposal considers the interplay between making and thinking, encompassing both the human and the non-human, resulting in co-constructed knowledge and meaning through performative and textile practices. Dr
KNYTTE BÅND was a participatory project that included three one week-long workshops at the Danish primary schools Baunehøjskolen, Absalonsskolen and Treksonerskolen where 550 children participated. At each school, the children from the middle school (4th, 5th and 6th grade) co-created one knotted textile-work. At the SWOP festival we then collected the three knotted textile-works and during the fe
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an increasingly important treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Its best implementation is debated, as few centres with high volumes are associated with better outcomes, while centralization might lead to an inferior availability of treatment for patients living far away. The aim of this study was to investigate the
We present calculations on the formation of 258Rf in the reaction 50Ti+208Pb within the Langevin framework. The initital stage after contact of the colliding nuclei is dominated by a drift in the center-of-mass direction, while the subsequent process of forming a compound nucleus is diffusion dominated. The probability for the composite system to diffuse over the inner saddle is obtained by perfor
Biocompatibility testing of medical devices is governed by the ISO 10993 series of standards and includes evaluation of skin sensitization potential of the final product. A majority of all medical devices are tested using in vivo methods, largely due to the lack of in vitro methods validated within the applicability domain of solid materials. The GARDskin method for assessment of chemical skin sen
Aim: Assess the prognostic ability of a non-highly malignant and reactive EEG to predict good outcome after cardiac arrest (CA). Methods: Prospective observational multicentre substudy of the “Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial”, also known as the TTM2-trial. Presence or absence of highly malignant EEG patterns and EEG reactivity to externa
Warm dense matter is at the boundary between a plasma and a condensed phase and plays a role in astrophysics, planetary science and inertial confinement fusion research. However, its electronic structure and ionic structure upon irradiation with strong laser pulses remain poorly understood. Here, we use an intense and ultrafast X-ray free-electron laser pulse to simultaneously create and character
• Purpose: To assess utility, benefits, and risks of 4th-generation alumina–zirconia ceramic pairings in elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). • Methods: A comprehensive mixed-methods best-evidence synthesis using data from systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective cohort studies, as well as joint replacement registries, was conducted to estimate overa
