The barrier function of the skin mainly relies on its outermost layer, the stratum corneum (SC), which is a lipid-protein composite biomaterial. In addition, SC contains a mixture of small polar compounds, the natural moisturizing factor (NMF). Most of the NMF components are solid at ambient relative humidities (RHs). We herein raise the question of what the effects of adding a mixture of chemical

Raman spectroscopy is widely used for characterization of carbon-based mate- rials including light-absorbing carbonaceous (LAC) matter. However, informa- tion on polarization properties of these materials are generally lacking, and often the polarization characteristics of experiments are not presented in the literature thereby giving uncertainty to presented data. In this work, the polari- zation

Most heavy-duty engines are diesel operated. Severe emission regulations, high fuel prices, high technology costs (e.g. catalysts, fuel injection systems) and unsustainably in supplying fuel are enough reasons to convenience engine developers to explore alternative technologies or fuels. Using natural gas/biogas can be a very good alternative due to the attractive fuel properties regarding emissio

Bedömning av ett barns talsvårigheter behöver baseras på flera uppgifter och testmetoder för att möjliggöra identifiering av den eller de talproduktionsnivåer som är inblandade. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur ett benämningstest och ett dynamiskt motoriskt taltest bidrog till observationer av talbeteenden förenliga med brister i talmotorisk planering. Deltagarna var 28 barn mellan tre ochThe assessment of a child’s speech problem should incorporate several tasks and sampling methods to identify the difficulties appointing the speech production level/s involved. This study aimed to investigate how a dynamic motor speech test contributed to a naming test in observing speech characteristics consistent with deficits of speech motor planning. Participants were 28 children, 3 to 9 years

With this audio paper, our aim is to explore the connection between sound and democracy. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of this field, we approach it through the notion of care and an empirical analysis of the democratic implications of trying to regulate sound in public spaces. We examine ISO standards as one example of the many attempts to control sound in both public and private spaces. St

Laser diagnostic techniques have for more than 30 years added very valuable input for a deepened understanding of combustion processes. The present paper will focus on techniques developed for visualization of important parameters with the ability to get detailed information in space and time. The paper is not meant to be a complete review of the entire research field but rather a survey with a ma

Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e

This thesis discusses the potential conflicts between the MARPOL and BASEL regimes in relation with management of wastes derived from operations of ships. The analysis whether the BASEL Convention provides an overarching regime to deal with waste cycle from generation to disposal is also addressed for determining if MARPOL has to complement this regime. To this end, a holistic view regarding the e

In today's society, companies are struggling to be heard and seen in the ever-increasing amount of information available on the market. A distinctive trademark has therefore become a very important means of communication for businesses. A trademark is often of considerable value in the form of goodwill and corporate image and is seen to communicate consumer attitude. An entire concept is not uI dagens samhälle kämpar företag för att höras och synas i det överflöd av information som finns tillgänglig. Ett särskiljande kännetecken har därmed blivit ett mycket viktigt kommunikationsmedel för företag. I detta kännetecken ligger ofta ett betydande värde i form av goodwill och image och attityd hos förbrukarna. Inte sällan är det hela koncept som förmedlas i ett komplicerat byggande av relat

This study explores how listeners use verb constructions to describe everyday sounds. It considers (i) how the verb constructions provide Gestalt to events in the form of activities, processes and states, and (ii) how the constructions correspond to different aspects of a soundscape (sound sources, acoustic properties, and listener reactions). We found that verb constructions primarily describe so

This study investigates, over an 18-month period surrounding the 2016 Brexit referendum, the commenting activity of nearly 2 million Facebook users engaging with political news from British media or with the posts of referendum campaigns. We ask whether citizens’ engagement with political news on Facebook motivates their participation with political campaign posts, and we examine whether users com

Stomatopods have an elaborate visual system served by a retina that is unique to this class of pancrustaceans. Its upper and lower eye hemispheres encode luminance and linear polarization while an equatorial band of photoreceptors termed the midband detects color, circularly polarized light and linear polarization in the ultraviolet. In common with many malacostracan crustaceans, stomatopods have

Between AD 900 and AD 1200 Vikings, being able to navigate skillfully across the open sea, were the dominant seafarers of the North Atlantic. When the Sun was shining, geographical north could be determined with a special sundial. However, how the Vikings could have navigated in cloudy or foggy situations, when the Sun's disc was unusable, is still not fully known. A hypothesis was formulated in 1

We demonstrate that exceptional points exist in fully transparent, optically "effectively" biaxial, anisotropic micro-cavities, fabricated using an uniaxial cavity material with its axis inclined to the Bragg mirror growth direction. This is similar to the existence of singular (optic) axes in absorbing biaxial crystals, but the lack of time reversal symmetry is mediated by the mode broadening, i.

Group polarization occurs when an initial attitude or belief of individuals becomes more radical after group discussion. Polarization often leads subgroups towards opposite directions. Since the 1960s this effect has been observed and repeatedly confirmed in lab experiments by social psychologists. Persuasive Arguments Theory (PAT) emerged as the most convincing explanation for this phenomenon. Th
