Potentially high human exposures to nanometer sized airborne particles occur due to welding and other thermal processes in industrial environments. Detailed field measurements of physical and chemical particle characteristics were performed in three work-shops in Sweden. Measurements were performed both in the plume 5-20 cm above the welding point and in the background air (more than 5 m away from
Night,dawn,and dusk have abiotic features that differ from the day. Illumination,wind speeds,turbulence,and temperatures are lower while humidity may be higher at night. Nocturnal pollination occurred in 30% of angiosperm families across 68% of orders,97% of families with C3,two-thirds of fam-ilies with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM),and 71% dicot families with C4 photosynthesis. Despite its w
Nowadays, we live in a society with billions of devices that are interconnected and interact together to improve the quality of our lives. The management and processing of information and knowledge have by now become our main resources, and the fundamental factors of economic and social development, and it is achieved through Big Data Frameworks (BDFs). The amount of such data is becoming larger e
Lignocellulosic biorefineries are a cornerstone in the transition of our largely fossil-based society to a climate-society using renewable raw materials. In first generation of biorefineries the focus was on starch and sugar-based feedstock which lead to a competition with the food supply. In order to avoid this the second generation of biorefineries focus on lignocellulosic feedstocks such as woo
In this paper a methodology for integrated multivariate monitoring and control of biological wastewater treatment plants during extreme events is presented. To monitor the process, on-line dynamic principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the process data to extract the principal components that represent the underlying mechanisms of the process. Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering is used to
[Background] The game industry faces fierce competition and games are developed on short deadlines and tight budgets. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas and features is essential in validating and guiding development toward market viability and success. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires user data, which is often limited in early development stages. This challenge is
BACKGROUND: The importance of voltage-dependent conductances in sensory information processing is well-established in insect photoreceptors. Here we present the characterization of electrical properties in photoreceptors of the cockroach (Periplaneta americana), a nocturnal insect with a visual system adapted for dim light. RESULTS: Whole-cell patch-clamped photoreceptors had high capacitances and
3D property formation has become an important solution to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the property's physical characteristics than traditional 2D property formation. Despite the numerous benefits of the 3D property formation, there is a need for more detailed descriptions of 3D cadastral data delivery between the involved actors to ensure efficient and effective col

Post hoc interventions rely on having access to certain personal data - such as the gender, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation of the persons being evaluated - in order to detect and correct for prejudice. This brings these interventions into possible tension with pertinent data protection legislation, which might restrict the processing of said data. We discuss the compatibility of post hoc i
Railway traffic usually adheres to a timetable, but in Sweden, around two-thirds of the freight trains depart before they are scheduled, often by hours. Even though they occur in real operations, early departures have rarely been included in simulation studies and the effects on punctuality are not fully investigated. With a macroscopic simulation tool such as PROTON, large networks can be simulat
The implementation of the Biofuels Directive (2003/30/EC) in the 25 member states is assessed against the background of implementation theory in this paper. The aim is to identify and analyze implementation problems for the purpose of suggesting a way forward for biofuels policy in the European Union. Three main patterns of policy implementation are observed: effective implementation, formal compl
INTRODUCTION: This article draws on understandings from reproductive justice, crip and queer theories to discuss gonadectomy for children and young people with gonadal variations. Gonadectomy is sometimes performed on people with gonadal variations without their free and informed consent. Some parents report experiencing pressure to consent to such surgery when their children are young.

Cyklometallering är en reaktion som används i alltifrån tillverkning av nya material till katalys av industriella kemiska processer, så att de sker snabbare och energisnålare. I denna reaktion reagerar en metall med en organisk molekyl (en ligand) och bildar en cykel och en ny metall-kolbindning. En typ av komplex som bildas genom cyklometallering är pincer-komplex, och dessa komplex kan bland annCyclometallation reactions and pincer complexes are both essential in organometallic synthesis and catalysis. The C-H bond activation is a key step in cyclometallation and metallacycles such aspincer complexes can thus be used to study this bond activation event. Much research has been conducted on the PCsp2P pincer complexes and their cyclopalladations, but not as much on their analogous sp3-hybr
Bakgrund: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter med sensorisk bearbetning, vilket kan påverka aktivitetsförmåga och livskvalitet negativt. Sensorisk modulering har nyligen introducerats som en positiv metod inom vuxenpsykiatrisk verksamhet i Sverige, men arbetsterapeuters kunskap och användning av metoden inom primärvården är ännu outforskad. Syfte: Att undersöka arbetsterapeutersBackground: Individuals with mental health problems often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can negatively affect their ability to engage in activities and reduce quality of life. Sensory modulation has been introduced as a promising approach in adult psychiatric care in Sweden, but occupational therapists' knowledge and application of this method in primary health care re
The multidisciplinary Green Extraction approach has recently advanced by integrating the principles of Green Chemistry and the Circular Economy. In this framework, waste products are redefined as negative-cost raw materials for the recovery of high-value compounds with cross-sectoral applications, contributing to both economic and environmental sustainability. This study focuses on the valorizatio
Managing change is becoming increasingly crucial for organizations to survive in today’s contemporary work environment. However, change is “riddled” with ambiguity and uncertainty, affecting managers, employees, and organization as a whole. Middle managers, who are located in a peculiar position in the hierarchy are often tasked with having to interpret and guide others through change. This proces
