The effects of weathering on the in-service moisture behavior of wood have received only limited attention so far, with much focus being on the effect of photodegradation on the hydrophobicity of the wood surface. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of weathering surfaces on the overall moisture behavior of wood specimens exposed to short-term cyclic spraying, with special
The general aim of the research programme SPEAK (Sustainable Planning andEnvironmental Assessment Knowledge, www.speakproject.se) was to generateknowledge on, and to strengthen the role of strategic environmental assessment(SEA) in planning as a measure to attain the environmental quality objectives andto promote sustainable development. The SPEAK programme had atransdisciplinary point of departur
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are well recognized beneficial host-associated members of the microbiota of humans and animals. Yet LAB-associations of invertebrates have been poorly characterized and their functions remain obscure. Here we show that honeybees possess an abundant, diverse and ancient LAB microbiota in their honey crop with beneficial effects for bee health, defending them against micro

Animals´ omnipresence in human society makes them both close to and yet remarkably distant from humans. Human and animal lives have always been entangled, but the way we see and practice the relationships between humans and animals – as close, intertwined, or clearly separate – varies from time to time and between cultures, societies, and even situations. By putting these complex relationships in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen, vars kontext är staden Jönköping – känd som Smålands Jerusalem – och dess omnejd, vill besvara frågan: Hur utformades och användes berättelsen om missionen i Kina för att åstadkomma och upprätthålla missionsvänskapets hängivenhet? Det var vid skiftet mellan 1880- och 1890-talen, under växande arbetslöshet, bostadsnöd och fattigdom, med konfrontatioThis thesis intends to answer the question: How was the narrative of the mission in China formulated and used to engender and sustain the fervour of the friends of the mission in the 1890s? It was at this time, with growing unemployment, lack of housing, and of poverty – a time when new and challenging ideas emerge – that the interest in the missions to China awoke. The context of the missionary n
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sandstäpp är ett starkt hotat växtsamhälle i Sverige som består av många specialiserade och hotade arter som t.ex. sandnejlika, tofsäxing och sandliljor. Exempel på hur en sandstäpp kan se ut hittas i Figur 1 i den Engelska sammanfattningen. Sandstäpp finns på sandig mark med kalk i ytjorden och ett lågt näringsinnehåll. Den karaktäriseras av ett uppbrutet växttäcke somA number of sandy grassland habitats of interest for biodiversity conservation can be found in Europe. One such habitat is the threatened xeric sand calcareous grassland, which is home to a large number of endangered species. It is characterized by a discontinuous vegetation cover, mainly consisting of stress-tolerant species favoured by nutrient-poor and dry conditions. The xeric sand calcareous
High-performance concrete slabs have been field exposed at the Traslovslage marine field station at the Swedish west coast since April 1992 as a part of the Cementa/Euroc sponsored project, "Durability of Marine Concrete Structures." The concrete slabs mounted on a floating pontoon are exposed in three exposure zones: submerged, splash, and upper splash zones. The results after two years of exposu
This publication is part of a project called Direct and Indirect Load Control in Buildings performed at the Division of Energy Economics and Planning, Department of Heat and Power Engineering, Lund University, Sweden. Peak load problems have attracted considerable attention in Sweden during last three winters, caused by a significant decrease in available reserve power, which is a consequence of p
Municipal solid waste is one of the major environmental problems in Jordan. The World Bank visibility study (2004) showed that the rate of production of solid waste in Jordan was estimated annually of about 1.46 million ton, and is expected to reach 2.5 million ton by the year 2015 with a generation of 0.9/kg/capita/day. This solid waste volume is still increasing at high rates due to the rapid in
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tre-dimensionell ultraljudsundersökning av livmodertappen (cervix) Syftet med avhandlingen var att utvärdera förändringar i livmodertappen (cervix) med tre-dimensionellt ultraljud och utreda om tre-dimensionellt power Doppler ultraljud kan förutsäga tiden till spontan eller inducerad förlossning hos överburna, gravida kvinnor. Avhandlingen baseras på fem studier: reprThe aim of this thesis was to evaluate cervical physiological changes by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound during pregnancy and to investigate the ability of 3D power Doppler to predict time to spontaneous and induced delivery in prolonged pregnancy. The thesis is based on five studies: reproducibility of cervical measurements by 3D power Doppler ultrasound (study I), reference data representativ
Simulation mimics the behaviour of real world processes or the system over time. It helps us to understand the impact of modification and the effect of introducing various interventions to a system. One such simulation method is known as Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which has been utilized to evaluate the performance of digital communication systems over the last 70 years. MC has been the most ex
Elförsörjningen som till huvuddel kommer från fossila bränslen uppfyller vanligen inte efterfrågan i Irak. Samtidigt som det finns goda förutsättningar och stor potential för att installera och utnyttja solel som en lösning för den bristande elförsörjningen men med omtanke som värnar om miljön. Idag har cirka 20 procent av den irakiska befolkningen ingen tillgång till el, de återstående 80 procentThe main supply of electricity from fossil fuels does not usually meet demand in Iraq. At the same time, there are good conditions and great potential for installing and utilizing environmental friendly electricity from solar energy as a solution to the lack of power supply. Today, about 20 percent of the Iraqi population has no access to electricity, the remaining 80 percent have no continuous el
Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and
Arlanda flygplats är en av Nordens största flygplatser, vilket gör att personbrandskyddet är väldigt viktigt. Ett platsbesök genomfördes på Terminal 4 på Arlanda vid projektets början i syfte att göra en brandteknisk riskvärdering av byggnaden. Under platsbesöket samlades information in om potentiella riskkällor och möjligheterna att utrymma undersöktes. Detta resulterade i flera potentiella brandArlanda is one of northern Europe’s largest airports servicing 18,4 million travelers in 2022. Ensuring the safety of everyone moving through or working within the building requires a large-scale safety and security infrastructure. This report narrows its focus to one of the older parts of Arlanda, terminal 4. The aim of this project is to evaluate the fire protection focusing on the safety of the
The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. It did this by reviewing the relevant literature on the primary structural modifica
