The Virus-X-Viral Metagenomics for Innovation Value-project was a scientific expedition to explore and exploit uncharted territory of genetic diversity in extreme natural environments such as geothermal hot springs and deep-sea ocean ecosystems. Specifically, the project was set to analyse and exploit viral metagenomes with the ultimate goal of developing new gene products with high innovation val

Much contemporary critical infrastructure research has been devoted to studies of the effects of risks stemming from interdependencies between critical infrastructures, here referred to as interdependency-related risks. However, this research has placed limited emphasis on infrastructure actors’ efforts to manage such risks in practice, and it remains unclear to what extent and how critical infras

Falling pitch has long been argued to be a key feature in the distinction of Swedish pitch accents. In this paper, neurophysiological and behavioural evidence substantiating the perceptual importance of HL pitch contours at the word level is discussed. When presentedwith novel words, Swedes, regard-less of dialect,preattentively distinguished meaningfulwords with falling pitch.Falling pitch was al

Bussbranschen kan tillhöra en av de näringar som drabbats hårdast i samband med pandemin (covid-19). Många bussreseföretag är små och medelstora familjeföretag med låga marginaler. Redan vid pandemins början i mars 2020 lyftes en oro för framtiden bland dessa företag. Över ett år senare står stora delar av verksamheterna helt eller delvis stilla på grund av rådande restriktioner och osäkerheten i

In this paper, we consider the flow and heat transfer behaviour of turbulent upward and downward flows of supercritical n-decane, in order to reveal the features of heat transfer deterioration (HTD) that would be expected in relevant active regenerative cooling systems for scramjet engines. Specific focus is placed on key velocity-field features that appear in these flows. Following the validation

In this paper, bistable gates which can be used as building blocks in logic gates are designed using topology optimization. The gate simulation is based on finite strain kinematics and hyperelastic material response. The objective of the optimization is to maximize the stiffness of a gate in the stable configurations while ensuring an adequate energy and distance separations between them and const

Current freight transport is highly dependent on fossil fuels and there is a need for a transition to alternative fuels and technologies. Biogas is a type of biofuel that has the potential to reduce climate emissions from freight transport, while providing additional benefits such as recycling of nutrients and increased energy security. This paper uses theories on the diffusion of green technologi

Brain activation mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been extensively studied in brain gray matter (GM), whereas in large disregarded for probing white matter (WM). This unbalanced treatment has been in part due to controversies in relation to the nature of the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast in WM and its detectability. However, an accumulating body of

Holocene geomagnetic field models are used to study processes in Earth's core, millennial scale variations in solar activity and to relatively date geological and archaeological archives. Constructing models from magnetic field directions and intensities stored in archaeological artefacts, igneous rocks and sediment records is challenging due to the sparse data distribution and the large chronolog

Changes in the location of γ-tubulin ensure cell survival and preserve genome integrity. We investigated whether the nuclear accumulation of γ-tubulin facilitates the transport of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) between the cytosolic and the nuclear compartment in mammalian cells. We found that the γ-tubulin meshwork assists in the recruitment of PCNA to chromatin. Also, decreased levels

Bakgrund Den 20 januari 2020 senarelades ålderspensionen i Sverige för alla yrkesgrupper. Samtidigt ökar den arbetsrelaterade sjukligheten. I ett framtidsperspektiv kommer efterfrågan på arbetskraft som kan och vill arbeta till en högre ålder att öka utifrån den globala demografiska förändringen. Att medverka till en god anställningsbarhet (employability) och hälsa är därför en central fråga och uHållbart arbetsliv för alla åldrar – swAge modellenKerstin Nilsson1, 21Högskolan Kristianstad, 2Lunds universitetBakgrundDen 20 januari 2020 senarelades ålderspensionen i Sverige för alla yrkesgrupper.
