Resistive bulk Micromegas chambers, produced at CERN, have been installed at the new CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) in order to study the effects of ageing and to evaluate the detector behaviour under high irradiation. The chambers have an active area of 10×10cm2, strip pitch of 400μm and an amplification gap of 128μm. We present the detector performance as a function of the background ra

Despite significant research advances achieved during the last decades, seemingly inconsistent forecasting results related to stochastic, chaotic, and black-box approaches have been reported. Herein, we attempt to address the entropy/complexity resulting from hydrological and climatological conditions. Accordingly, mutual information function, correlation dimension, averaged false nearest neighbor

Individer lämnar och har alltid lämnat arbetslivet på grund av att åldern ”tar ut sin rätt”. Dock är det sannolikt inte ålderssvaghet som är den avgörande faktornför det stora flertalet som går i ålderspension idag. Troligtvis är det istället mångaolika faktorer som har betydelse för när en individ lämnar yrkeslivet för en nylivsfas som ålderspensionär, även om det biologiska åldrandets klocka ticIn the health and medicine care service there are employees from different kind of occupations who can and want to work until they are 65 years or older. There are also employees from different occupations who can not or do not want to work until they are 65 years old. This study includes answers from 1,949 employees in nine different occupations in health and medical care service. The aim of the

BACKGROUND: Due to low mortality rate of musculoskeletal disorders (MSK) less attention has been paid to MSK as underlying cause of death in the general population. The aim was to examine trend in MSK as underlying cause of death in 58 countries across globe during 1986-2011.METHODS: Data on mortality were collected from the WHO mortality database and population data were obtained from the United

A review of recent research activities on the degradation processes in ancient water-logged wood.

The group of cetrarioid lichens with globose ascospores includes 37 species from eight genera. Phylogenetic analysis, using program PAUP 3.1.1, was carried out on two different data sets – morphological (incl. anatomical and chemical) and molecular characters (ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 rDNA sequences) – to verify the correspondence of current taxonomy to the probable evolution of the taxa involved.

This paper aims to make a contribution to recentering practice- and practitioner-oriented issues in Roma education studies. Gaps can be observed today between conditions of educational work in practice and the ways education is understood in mainstream academic discussions, compounded by the fact that educational workers in the field have limited access to academic environments. Also, as a subject

Trends like digitalization, globalization, urbanization and changing buying patterns affects society as a whole and retail in particular. The ability to change and adapt to meet such challenges is the key to survival for many retailers. Despite urgent need for change, research on retail innovation is limited, fragmented, and relates mostly to industrial applications.

Packaging design is a powerful vehicle for making our lives friendlier, our planet greener and our businesses richer. It is an essential link between the producer and the customer, where it contributes to the positioning and presentation of a product; and on many occasions, the use of the product after purchase. What is missing is a compass that can guide practitioners in the right direction. ThisThis book is about packaging design for sustainable development, the kind of design that can make our lives friendlier, our planet greener and our businesses richer. It is necessary and obvious that we need to move towards a more sustainable society, as we see more pollution in our oceans, more waste in our streets, more landfills and the tremendous waste of essential resources such as food on our

INTRODUCTION: Previous research of how people with stroke manage public transport has mainly focused on barriers due to physical limitations whereas the influence of cognitive limitations is scarce. There is also a lack of knowledge of facilitators that can help to overcome these barriers. The aim of this study was to describe facilitators for travelling with public transport, e.g. local buses, am

In Swedish law, the notion of ‘science and proven experience’ (in Swedish, vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet) defines the gold standard for public decision-making and practice, especially in medicine. The notion is notoriously vague but nevertheless plays an important role in the distribution of rights and duties of patients and healthcare workers. For example, failure to provide care in accordancIn Swedish law, the notion of ‘science and proven experience’ (in Swedish, vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet) defines the gold standard for public decision-making and practice, especially in medicine.

... Särskild vikt har lagts på att försöka identifiera fyndplatser i landskapet och att ge ett geografiskt underlag för en fullödig kartering av den tidens treenighet : boplats -- gravplats -- offerplats. Trots att många fynd har bristfälliga fyndupplösningar har det med hjälp av Skånska Rekognosceringskartans beskrivningar av fuktängar och torvmossor varit möjligt att ungefärligen identifiera 98

... Den förändringsprocess som vi här har försökt åskådliggöra är nära knuten till en förändring av ideologi och mentalitet, där den tidigare kollektivt präglade ideologin försvagades och successivt öppnade upp för en ökad stratifiering av samhället. Det finns tydliga tendenser i det arkeologiska materialet mot en ökad betoning och uppvisning av politisk, ekonomisk och militär makt. Denna demonstr
