Urbanisation, digitalisation and emerging technologies are reshaping young people’s relationship with the outdoor environment. We investigate how everyday outdoor experiences and spaces support adolescent wellbeing, understood as both feeling good and functioning well. Adolescents, at a pivotal stage in life, are particularly sensitive to environmental factors that influence their wellbeing. We co
A time-consuming yet mandatory step during in vitro sexual propagation of orchids is the treatment of seeds with a disinfecting solution that also serves to scarify the seeds. If the seeds are not properly disinfected, microorganisms grow within the culture vessel, thus reducing the efficacy of the process and burdening the operation with unnecessary materials and labour. On the other hand, a long
Advancement of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) for practical application is limited due to the inferior performance of the existing cathode. Herein, we demonstrate rational design and synthesis of an oxygen vacancy-rich low-valent vanadium-based spinel cathode (OV-ZnV2O4) for the fabrication of high-performance AZIBs. ZnV2O4 having an urchin-like morphology with nanorods ∼19 nm in diameter
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have emerged as strong contenders for sustainable energy storage; however, their widespread adoption is constrained by sluggish Zn2+ transport and suboptimal cathode performance. A rapid, energy-efficient solvothermal synthesis of Na2V6O16 is reported, and introduces cation vacancies via initial electrochemical engineering. This electrochemical pre-treatment generat
Experimental microbial ecology and evolution have yielded foundational insights into ecological and evolutionary processes using simple microcosm setups and phenotypic assays with one- or two-species model systems. The fields are now increasingly incorporating more complex systems and exploration of the molecular basis of observations. For this purpose, simplified, manageable and well-defined mult
To develop treatments for currently uncurable neurological disorders, more knowledge is needed of the involved neural circuits and changes in gene expression. The padlock probe technique, in which linear DNA probes are circularized and amplified when hybridized to their cDNA target sequence, has previously been used for both multiplexed gene detection and neuronal projection mapping in brain tissu
Purpose/objective The main objective was to create a software that automates the process of creating treatment plans used for Pareto front-based dose planning for prostate cancer patients. A second objective/purpose was to add a robustness test to this program to evaluate the effect of prostate movements on the treatment plans. Material/method An IronPython program was designed to control and col
Background & Aim: The imaging process following the treatment of 177Lu-DOTATATE is in some medical clinics demanding on both patients and the clinic. Usually a number of images are acquired, with different time intervals to the time of injection. To facilitate for the patient and create the opportu- nity to treat more patients it is desirable to simplify the imaging process. At Skåne Universit
Bestämmelsen om tjänstefel återfinns i 20 kap. 1 § Brottsbalken vilket innebär att den som vid myndighetsutövning, uppsåtligen eller av oaktsamhet, åsidosätter vad som gäller för uppgiften genom handling eller underlåtenhet kan ställas till svars. Idag omfattas inte de kommunalt förtroendevalda i den högre beslutande förvaltningen av detta ansvar då de besitter ett partiellt ämbetsansvar. Detta paThe regulation on misuse of office can be found in chapter 20 § 1 of the Swedish Penal Code which means that a person who in the exercise of public authority, by act or by commission, intentionally or through carelessness, disregards the duties of his office can be held liable. Today, elected representatives cannot be held accountable for their decisions as they hold a partial responsibility. This
The Modelica language is an object-oriented, equation-based language used for modeling and design in many different domains and for various physical applications. In order to exchange models both between Modelicabased tools and other tools the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) has emerged. This interface enables exchange of virtual models between manufacturers and/or divisions within a company. T
There is a long tradition, especially in phycology, of using 18S rDNA sequences in inferring phylogenies, in particular for higher taxonomic level analysis. 18S like ITS2 displays a conserved RNA secondary structure which could be used simultaneously with the sequence to increase the amount of information available when inferring phylogenetic relationships. In ITS2 research sequence-structure phyl
Uppsatsen undersöker teoretiskt om det är praktiskt genomförbart att utnyttja geoenergi för uppvärmning och kylning för växthus med avseende på svenskt klimat. Brukare av växthus måste i många fall gå ifrån fossila bränslen som värmekälla på grund av stigande energipriser och ökad miljömedvetenhet. Utvecklingen går därmed mer och mer mot utnyttjande av förnyelsebara energikällor. Växthus kräver my
Trots de kända hälsofördelarna med fysisk aktivitet, minskar den fysiska aktivitetsnivån när ungdomar når de högre tonåren, och det finns en skillnad mellan unga kvinnor och mäns fysiska aktivitetsnivå som bör uppmärksammas. Upplevda hinder såväl som ungdomars situationsspecifika självförtroende att övervinna dessa hinder är två av de starkaste prediktorerna för fysisk aktivitet, och därmed av stoGiven the known health benefits of physical activity (PA), the decreasing levels of PA during adolescence and differences in PA levels between young males and females are causes of concern. Perceived barriers towards physical activity as well as the adolescents‟ self-efficacy to overcome those barriers are two of the strongest predictors for PA, thus of major importance when investigating how to i
The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women
Stormwater from urban areas contain a number of pollutants, among which nitrogen and phosphorous have been of lesser focus. In this study I aim to investigate if biochar has the potential to fill the role as water filter in urban areas, and to pin point what should be experimentally investigated in order to evaluate biochar in comparison to two contemporary filter systems: bioreactors and chalk fi
El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have a great impact on global climate, often with disas-trous effects in many parts of the world. The carbonate skeleton of corals record El Niño activity by tracing sea surface temperature and salinity in the oceans where they grow. As El Niño’s core region is the equatorial Pacific Ocean, this is where the most direct consequences of ENSO are seen, com

Studien är en miljösystemanalys av en förpackningsmaskin på Tetra Pak för flytande och kylda livsmedel. Miljöanalysen följer till stora delar de principer som ges av ISO 14040-43 om livscykelanalyser. Syftet med arbetet är att kartlägga material och energiflöden samt deras upphov till emissioner för att sedan kunna identifiera miljömässiga förbättringsmöjligheter. Speciellt fokus läggs på förpackn
