A sorption isotherm expresses the relation between ambient relative humidity (RH) and equilibrium moisture content of a material for a specific temperature. The sorption isotherm can generally be divided into a hygroscopic part covering low, medium and high RH levels, and an over-hygroscopic part close to 100% RH. For wood, the hygroscopic part is dominated by water uptake in cell walls and the ov
This essay reflects on issues surrounding the remembrance and teaching of the Holocaust. It was commissioned by the project Living History and the Swedish Prime Minister's Office.
Background: Neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant treatment has led to an improved survival in patients with resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEAC). Nevertheless, survival rates remain poor and, hence, there is a great need to identify novel treatment strategies and relevant complementary diagnostics. Immunotherapies targeting the PD‐1/PD‐L1 checkpoints have shown promising results, but simultane
Present debates suppose a close linkage between economic, social, and environmental sustainability and suggest that individual wellbeing and living standards need to be understood as directly linked to environmental concerns. Because social movements are often seen as an avant-garde in pushing for change, this article analyzes climate protesters' support for three key frames in current periods of
Geospatial data are increasingly available nowadays, and this leads to more analyses and visualisation of geospatial data from several sources. To enable this, we need homogenous data as well as proper integration methods. Geospatial data integration has been a longstanding research topic for decades, and this paper discusses the utilisation of Linked Data technology stack to alleviate the geospat
It is well known that certain cancers have shown clusteringin educational and socioeconomic groups, but recent comprehensive data on clustering by education are limited. We determined standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), adjusted for several variables, for cancer among men and women in six educational groups based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. People were identified with a certain educat
The measurement of potential enzymatic activities has been proposed as an efficient method to infer nutrient limitations for microorganisms in environmental samples. To validate this use, confirmation with direct methods of microbial growth responses to resource additions are required. We experimentally manipulated nutrient-poor soils from the afromontane subtropics with relatively low (grassland
The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness of research circle methodology in the later stages of the research process. In an active collaboration with the researchers, participants, that is, users of research, discussed and prioritized research on home and health dynamics. Reflections, comments, and evaluations from both leaders and users were analyzed, applying content analysis. The usef
I detta kapitel beskrivs hur man vid Lunds tekniska högskola organiserar kursvärderingar som en del i ett övergripande arbete med rapporterande utvärdering av kurser. Syftet är att bidra med förståelse för hur olika konkreta problem förknippade med genomförandet av ett system för kursvärdering och utvärdering angripits på Lunds tekniska högskola. kapitlet visar också på hur Lunds tekniska högskola
Organized human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was introduced in Sweden in 2012. On-demand vaccination was in effect from 2006 to 2011. We followed the HPV prevalences in Southern Sweden from 2008 to 2013.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Olyckor i järnvägssektorn kan ge upphov till katastrofala konsekvenser. I första hand kan människors liv och hälsa drabbas, men allvarliga konsekvenser kan även uppstå för samhället i stort. Detta beror på att järnvägssystemet, liksom en rad andra infrastruktursystem är väsentliga för att vårt moderna samhälle ska fungera. Under de senaste decennierna har dessa system bIn recent decades, the Swedish railway system has faced substantial deregulations. As a result, management of risk is often carried out in settings involving multiple stakeholders having various roles, mandates, and viewpoints on risk, and where no single stakeholder has the superior authority. In order to manage risks in this type of multi-actor setting, the traditional elements of risk assessmen
Attention Restoration Theory point to nature as a particularly good candidate for restoring the ability to focus and inhibit distractions. However, little effort has been directed to elaborating on what makes nature's visual pattern unique for restoration purposes. One suggested explanation is the fractal properties of natural patterns (Hagerhall, 2005). Both perception studies (Hagerhall et al.,
