Med hjälp av öppna datakällor från svenska myndigheter om vatten och mark vilka sammanställdes i ett QGIS-program var det möjligt att presentera och åskådliggöra vattenbudgeten i Lagans avrinningsområden. Den sammanlagda vattenmängden i avrinningsområdet kunde uppskattas till 9,36 km3 varav 75,9 % (7,10 km3) är grundvatten och 24,1% (2,26 km3) finns i sjöarna i området. Studien pekar på att GISbasUsing open-access data sets on water and soil from Swedish authorities and compiling them in a QGIS-programme made it possible to present and visualise the water budget of the Lagan River Catchment. Based on the estimations of the water volume in groundwater reservoirs and lakes the total maximum available volume in the Lagan River Catchment area was determined to be 9.36 km3. Of this 75.9% (7.10

Wintertime ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) pollution events burden urban mountain basins around the globe. In the Salt Lake Valley of Utah in the United States, such pollution events are often driven by the formation of persistent cold-air pools (PCAPs) that trap emissions near the surface for several consecutive days. As a result, secondary pollutants including fine particulate matter less than 2.5 um

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at high risk of cardiovascular complications. Novel anti-diabetic medications such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have been shown to possess cardiac and renal protective effects beyond their ability to lower plasma glucose. Use of SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA in patients with T2D and hear

Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter's 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden's relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns, the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden, militarily or economically. Neverthele

This chapter aims to reflect about the power that is exercised in autobiographical accounts. Criminal policy ultimately shows how everyday life, identities, and biographies are constituted. The criminal policy of the Swedish welfare state was founded on the ideology of treatment and social engineering. Looking at the prison as a training camp helps me to see how the norms are impressed on people,

This chapter examines the success and failure factors related to the implementation of an Idea Management System (IMS) to manage employees’ ideas about future products and services. The authors discuss an illustrative case involving two different geographically separated sites – South and North – belonging to the same Swedish subsidiary of a global IT firm. The introduction of IMS was a success at

Increasingly, scholarly debates and policy developments on citizen participation in energy transitions have included calls for ‘energy democracy’ and active forms of ‘energy citizenship’. The concepts are tightly connected to the debate on energy transition, and the need for a decentralized energy system, based on renewable energy and increased local energy ownership. The two concepts exist in parIncreasingly, scholarly debates and policy developments on citizen participation in energy transitions have included calls for ‘energy democracy’ and active forms of ‘energy citizenship’. The concepts are tightly connected to the debate on energy transition, and the need for a decentralised energy system, based on renewable energy and increased local energy ownership.

Previous studies have shown that injector aging adversely affects the diesel engine spray formation and combustion. It has also been shown that the oxygenated fuel additive tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPGME) can lower soot emissions. In this study, the effects of injector aging and TPGME on the late cycle oxidation of soot were investigated using laser diagnostic techniques in a light-du

Background: Despite primary PCI (PPCI), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can still result in large infarct size (IS). New technology with rapid intravascular cooling showed positive signals for reduction in IS in anterior STEMI. Aims: We investigated the effectiveness and safety of rapid systemic intravascular hypothermia as an adjunct to PPCI in conscious patients, with anterior STEMI,

The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of

The aim of this note is to present the recent results in [16] where we provide the existence of solutions of some nonlinear resonant PDEs on T2 exchanging energy among Fourier modes in a "chaotic-like" way. We say that a transition of energy is "chaotic-like" if either the choice of activated modes or the time spent in each transfer can be chosen randomly. We consider the nonlinear cubic Wave, the

A Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki (GGS-)group is a subgroup of the automorphism group of the p-regular rooted tree for an odd prime p, generated by one rooted automorphism and one directed automorphism. Pervova proved that all torsion GGS-groups do not have maximal subgroups of infinite index. Here we extend the result to non-torsion GGS-groups, which include the weakly regular branch, but not branch, GGS-

The Kimbanguists, whose church is based on the healing and proclamation ministry of Simon Kimbangu in 1921 in the Belgian Congo, challenge colonially defined borders and identities in multiple ways. Anticolonialism is in the DNA of Kimbanguism, yet in a manner that contests the colonially inherited dichotomy between religion and politics. Kimbanguists draw from holistic Kongo traditions, where the

B lymphocyte development is dependent on the interplay between the chromatin landscape and lineage-specific transcription factors. It has been suggested that B lineage commitment is associated with major changes in the nuclear chromatin environment, proposing a critical role for lineage-specific transcription factors in the formation of the epigenetic landscape. In this report, we have used chromo

Retaining β-mannanases are glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that can potentially be applied for synthesis of glycosides by catalysis of transglycosylation reactions. A novel active-site double mutant (R171K/E205D) of the catalytic module (CM) of the family GH5 Trichoderma reesei β-mannanase (TrMan5A) was expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified. TrMan5A, CM and CM-variants R171K and R171K/E205D had pH

This paper gives a brief overview of the Gaia Research for European Astronomy Training (GREAT) network, including a description of the GREAT-ESF Research Network Programme and the GREAT Initial Training Network (GREAT-ITN). Scientific highlights from the GREAT-ITN are noted.

NGC 2419 is one of the remotest star clusters in the Milky Way halo and its exact nature is yet unclear. While it has traits reminiscent of a globular cluster, its large radius and suggestions of an abundance spread have fueled the discussion about its origin in an extragalactic environment, possibly the remnant of the accretion of a dwarf galaxy. Here, we present first results from deep intermedi

Investigates the Alevis’ struggles for recognition and representation under the AKP administration. This book explores the struggles of a minority group – Alevis – for recognition and representation in Turkey and the diaspora. It examines how they mobilise against state practices and claim their rights, while at the same time negotiating how they define themselves. The authors offers a conceptual
