This paper explores the spatial and temporal land-cover variability within the main cultural landscape units in Denmark during the last 3,000 years. Quantitative estimates of the cover of trees, grasses, Cerealia and Calluna around nine Danish lakes were obtained using the recently developed Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA) (Sugita 2007a, b). The performance of the approach was evaluated b

Norovirus is the predominant cause of foodborne disease outbreaks. Virus contamination may occur during all steps of food processing from production to preparation and serving. The relative importance of these different routes of contamination is unknown.

Abstract in UndeterminedThis study are focused on the deformation zones occurring in the work piece in a machining process and the corresponding cutting forces. The fully coupled thermo-mechanical FE-model for orthogonal cutting, developed in [1] is utilized. The work piece material is modeled with Johnson-Cook plasticity including damage formulation. Simulations for different feed depths were per

The fragmentation of the doubly-charged carbon dioxide molecule is studied after photoexcitation to the C 1s(1)2π(u) and O 1s(1)2π(u) states using a multicoincidence ion-imaging technique. The bent component of the Renner-Teller split states populated in the 1s→ π∗ resonant excitation at both the carbon and oxygen 1s ionization edges opens pathways to potential surfaces in highly bent geometries i

Diabetes mellitus is the main reason for visual impairment among patients of working ages. The aim of this paper was to investigate the prognosis of eye complications in patients with diabetes during 10 years of follow-up and contributing risk factors. Data from ophthalmological records (occurrence of retinopathy and laser treatment and visual acuity), and clinical data (blood pressure, glycosylat

The neutron-rich lead isotopes, up to Pb-216, have been studied for the first time, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI. The observed isomeric states exhibit electromagnetic transition strengths which deviate from state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. It is shown that their complete description demands the introduction of effective three-body

Work and working conditions are fundamental social determinants of health. Climate change poses an urgent and growing threat to workers' health, through both direct exposure to environmental hazards and indirect exacerbation of social and health inequalities. Occupational health, which focusses on the promotion of mental and physical health and well-being of workers, is a key but often overlooked

In this work, we have studied how the choice of the continuous phase oils affects droplet-internal acoustic manipulation and mapped the acoustic properties of the selected oils to evaluate their compatibility with droplet acoustofluidic methods. The selection of continuous phase included hydrocarbon, fluorinated, and silicone oils. To map the acoustic properties of the oils, we measured their spee

In 2024, the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) published a list of 10 low-value practices in paediatric care. Embedded in the Choosing Wisely framework, this list is a step towards promoting targeted and evidence-based care. However, no single recommendation can change prescription habits and we need to acknowledge that overuse of the available resources has multiple causes. Among them, the ph

This dissertation investigates how the ageing process affected income, work, and family structures, and how broader economic forces shaped the living standards of older adults in 19th-century Stockholm. It situates individual life cycles within the wider context of 19th-century economic and demographic change. Through an integrated micro-historical analysis of household earnings, savings, poverty
