At the end of 2014, a Major Baltic Inflow (MBI) brought oxygenated, salty water into the Baltic proper and reached the long-term anoxic Eastern Gotland Basin (EGB) by March 2015. In July 2015, we measured benthic fluxes of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and silicon (Si) nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in situ using an autonomous benthic lander at deep sites (170-210 m) in the EGB, whe

I föreliggande studie har ekonomerna ombetts att besvara ett antal påstående om sin egen arbetssituation men också hur de uppfattar ”digitaliseringstillståndet” i sina kommunala och regionala organisationer. Utifrån dessa svar och kompletterande intervjuer konstateras det i rapporten bland annat att det tas påtagliga digitaliseringssteg i Sveriges kommuner och regioner, men att det går relativt saIn the present study, controllers have been asked to answer a number of statements about their own work situation but also how they perceive the "digitization state" in their municipal and regional organizations. Based on these responses and supplementary interviews, the report states, among other things, that significant digitization steps are being taken in Sweden's municipalities and regions, b

There are many reasons why heat transfer and heat exchangers play a key role in the development of sustainable energy systems as well as in the reduction of emissions and pollutants. In general, all attempts to achieve processes and thermodynamic cycles with high efficiency, low emissions, low costs include heat transfer and heat exchangers to a large extent. It is known that sustainable energy de

BACKGROUND: Galectins, a family of small carbohydrate binding proteins, have been implicated in regulation of inflammatory reactions, including asthma and fibrosis in the lungs. Galectins are found in cells of the airways and in airway secretions, but their glycoprotein ligands there have only been studied to a very limited extent. METHODS: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from mild asthmatics a

Cold weather garments are necessary for people who are exposed to cold environments (below -5 °C). The weight and bulkiness of such a cold weather clothing ensemble may limit human activity and reduce the productivity. In order to solve these problems, a slim garment with a built-in heating element could be useful. The heat input power and heating efficiency are the two most important parameters f

Augustenborg is suburb city in Malmö south of Sweden. The climate is temperate with occasional snow during the winter. Open storm water is applied in Augustenborg since late 1990s and the storm water is disconnected from the combined sewer system in order to give the area a lift up value and to solve the flooding problems in basements after heavy rainfall events. The new open system consists of po

This thesis is concerned with the problems that the monopolist is facing under the second-degree price discrimination where he does not possess the complete information about the preferences of the different consumer groups and as result he is not able to recognize different consumers prior to the consumption. The aim is to investigate what is, under those circumstances, the best possible strategy

In this chapter, I argue that moving as a way to counter the negative aspects of ageing (actual as well as symbolic), is both dependent on mobility and contradictory to it. The overall purpose is to investigate the relation between moving and mobility in the accounts told by people who have chosen to migrate as seniors in order to enable a certain lifestyle. In what way does the discursive ideal o

The digital era has brought about new security challenges. Security in the digital context is neither border centric nor a traditional security threat that can be contained into individual behaviour or which respects traditional borders. It may affect both privacy issues at the individual level and state security. What does this mean for the tools and adjudicative methods of EU law which are used

In order to understand why individuals accept and reproduce excessive time regimes, this paper addresses five key drivers: (1) intrinsic motivation, (2) extrinsic motivation, (3) organizational norms, (4) the principle of reciprocity, and (5) identity, including having the ‘true grit’ and belonging to the ‘elite’. It also points to how various elements in excessive work regimes – tendencies toward

We study whether one reason behind female underrepresentation in leadership is that female leaders are less effective at coordinating followers’ actions. Two experiments using coordination games investigate whether female leaders are less successful than males in persuading followers to coordinate on efficient equilibria. In these settings, successful coordination hinges on higher-order beliefs ab

Simulation datasets of proteins (e.g., those generated by molecular dynamics simulations) are filled with information about how a non-covalent interaction network within a protein regulates the conformation and, thus, function of the said protein. Most proteins contain thousands of non-covalent interactions, with most of these being largely irrelevant to any single conformational change. The abili

BACKGROUND: Diet-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) mainly comes from animal-sourced foods. As progressive changes are more acceptable for a sustainable food transition, we aimed to identify nutritionally adequate and culturally acceptable optimized diets ensuring a gradual reduction in GHGe, using observed diet from a large sample of French adults, while considering the mode of food producti

This dissertation places Pearl in the context of works by the English fourteenth-century contemplative writers (‘mystics’), as well as of patristic and other theological treatises, focusing on the theme of comprehending and speaking about a transcendent divine dimension. The purpose is to show that Pearl and the works of Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Walter Hilton, Richard Rolle and the author

Introduction: This research sought to extend knowledge about bystanders in bullying situations with a focus on the motivations that lead them to different responses. The 2 primary goals of this study were to investigate the reasons for children's decisions to help or not to help a victim when witnessing bullying, and to generate a grounded theory (or conceptual framework) of bystander motivation i

Background: Although housing accessibility is associated with important health outcomes in other populations, few studies have addressed this in a Parkinson’s disease population. Aim: To determine the most severe environmental barriers in terms of housing accessibility problems and how these evolved over 3 years among people with Parkinson’s disease. Material and Methods: 138 participants were inc

For patients living with chronic conditions, the daily life will change due to symptoms, drug treatment, and psychosocial factors caused by the disease. Our studies show that Swedish patients with PAH or CTEPH are satisfied with the information they have received, but still have a wish for more. Therefore, it is important to repeat the information on a regular basis and to make sure that patients

Public transport is an important part of the transition to a more sustainable future. The increasingly market-oriented public transport companies today market themselves with a wealth of messages in multiple channels such as direct mail, websites and apps. This communication is part of the influence that the (potential) traveler is exposed to, yet little research and testing is carried out in orde

We present a consistent analysis of the signal as well as the irreducible background for the search of the SM Higgs boson in the ZZ decay channel at the LHC. Soft-gluons effects are resummed up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and the results are compared to those obtained with fixed order calculations and the MC@NLO event generator. The soft-gluon effects are typically modest but should b
