Characterization of micro pore optics for full-field X-ray fluorescence imaging

Elemental mapping images can be achieved through step scanning imaging using pinhole optics or micro pore optics (MPO), or alternatively by full-field X-ray fluorescence imaging (FF-XRF). X-ray optics for FF-XRF can be manufactured with different micro-channel geometries such as square, hexagonal or circular channels. Each optic geometry creates different imaging artefacts. Square-channel MPOs gen

Visualisation of sulphur on single fibre level for pulping industry

In the pulp and paper industry, about 5 Mt/y chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP) are produced globally from softwood chips for production of carton board grades. For tailor making CTMP for this purpose, wood chips are impregnated with aqueous sodium sulphite for sulphonation of the wood lignin. When lignin is sulphonated, the defibration of wood into pulp becomes more selective, resulting in enhance

A Swedish Philhellenic Pamphlet from 1821 : "Will you let that sacred voice that echoes in the tender Swedish heart cry out in vain?”

The first volume of Grifos is a publication of a rare, anonymously published philhellenic pamphlet from the year 1821. It was printed in Stockholm, yet it has hitherto remained uncol­lected by the scholarly community. The pamphlet is published here for the first time with an En­glish translation and a commentary by George Kalpadakis and Vassilios Sabatakakis. In their introduction the authors plac

Rättssäkerheten i andrummet : en intervju om asylintervjun ur ett god man-perspektiv

När asylsökande barn och unga söker skydd i Sverige utan sina föräldrar tillsätts lekmän som gode män av kommunens överförmyndarnämnd. Uppdraget som god man utgår ifrån föräldrabalken och barnkonventionen: man ska vara ”erfaren, rättrådig och i övrigt lämplig för uppdraget” (11 kap.?12 och 13 §§ föräldrabalken). Mer än så krävs även särskild lämplighet för att arbeta med barn i en utsatt situation

Stockholm: Social mechanisms of migrants' emplacement in a segregated global city

This article presents an analysis of multidimensional segregation in Stockholm.Drawing on official statistics and existing empirical research, spatial and socioeconomic segregation are found to be increasingly tied to ethnicity, in a global city largely divided between affluent inner-city and marginalized peripheral boroughs. The analysis finds that migration flows’ impact on Stockholm’s asymmetri

What should we do as intellectual activists? : a comment on the ethico-political in knowledge production

This research comment makes an argument on the need to develop epistemic communities of belonging. These are spaces facilitating conversations about and enabling transformative ethico-political research. A research practice that can invoke attentiveness, responsibility, curiosity, and awareness to the field we study. Rather than answering what we should do as intellectual activists to maintain eth

What to do with rejected asylum seekers?

As the EU considers tougher rules for returning asylum seekers who had their applicationrejected, more people might be placed in detention and the possibility of voluntary returncould be limited

A Struggle Between Loyalty and Commodification : Scandinavian Football Fans

This chapter will give insight into the Nordic football fandom culture describing supporter culture in all five Nordic countries, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Finland. Focusing on history, identities, policies, and politics the authors discuss if a specific “Nordic supporter culture” exists and if there are significant perspectives in this culture compared to other football fandom culture

A trans-omics assessment of gene–gene interaction in early-stage NSCLC

Epigenome-wide gene–gene (G × G) interactions associated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival may provide insights into molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Hence, we proposed a three-step analytic strategy to identify significant and robust G × G interactions that are relevant to NSCLC survival. In the first step, among 49 billion pairs of DNA methylation probes, we identifie

Classical Music has a Diversity Problem

A recent profusion of statistics on classical music repertoire, performers, and education from across several countries have produced quantitative evidence confirming that it is primarily a musical tradition where white, middle class European cis-males succeed. This chapter examines how improving the inclusivity and equality of classical music conflicts with its beliefs in meritocracy and high mus

Effects of cleaning spray use on eyes, airways, and ergonomic load

BACKGROUND: Cleaning workers are exposed to chemicals and high physical workload, commonly resulting in airway problems and pain. In this study the response in the upper airways and the physical workload following airborne and ergonomic exposure of cleaning spray was investigated.METHODS: A survey was answered by professional cleaning workers to investigate their use of cleaning sprays and the per
