Aquifer classification plays a pivotal role in understanding groundwater dynamics and informing sustainable water resource management, especially in regions under significant stress from over-extraction. This study presents a novel remote sensing-based methodology for classifying aquifers represented by monitoring wells within the study area. The approach integrates stress-strain analysis, incorpo
The study is devoted to the development of the 2DCAM hardware and software complex for the physical modeling of the two-coordinate positioning system of the additional video camera of the UAV using the Simulink environment. DYNAMIXEL actuator systems were used to create a complex prototype. They combine DC motor, reduction gearhead, controller, driver and network components.The AH-12A actuator is
Idag lever allt fler människor under förhållanden som definieras som prekära. Även i avancerade välfärdssamhällen lyckas inte de traditionella trygghetssystemen erkänna och hantera de nya sociala risker som dessa grupper inom ”prekariatet” ställs inför. Bland dessa grupper finner vi migrantkvinnor med osäker rättslig ställning. Denna forskning undersöker hur aktörer i akademin och i civilsamhälletIn advanced welfare societies, traditional welfare programs are failing to recognize and respond to new social risks faced by groups in precarious life situations, including migrant women. This research explore how actors in academic and civil society settings recognize and frame the struggles of migrant women with precarious legal status, particularly in terms of gender-based violence (GBV) and a
De senaste 20 åren har humanioraintegrering i professionsutbildning varit på frammarsch i Sverige, både som forskningsfält och högskolepedagogisk praktik. Detta syns bland annat på bildandet av ett antal tvärvetenskapliga centra och program med sådan integrering i fokus. Den akademiska litteraturen om humanioraintegration i professionsutbildning visar att utvecklingen i Sverige är en del av en int
This study presents a digital solution for inducing visually-induced motion sickness (VIMS) using a head-mounted display (HMD) in a virtual environment. By digitally replicating off vertical axis rotation by adopting the Epley Omniax Chair, we induce sensory conflicts between the visual and vestibular systems through rotational vection, alongside optokinetic stimulation inspired by the Optoki-neti
Interpretation of data from faint dwarf galaxies is made challenging by observations limited to only the brightest stars. We present a major improvement to tackle this challenge by undertaking zoomed cosmological simulations that resolve the evolution of all individual stars more massive than 0.5 M⊙, thereby explicitly tracking all observable stars for the Hubble time. For the first time, we predi
The COVID-19 pandemic has jolted the health system globally and a paucity of specific drugs and/or vaccine hesitancy led clinicians to indiscriminately use antibiotics. Furthermore, during the early waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies showcased the anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy of few antibiotics which further catapulted the idea of using them after emergency approval by the Food and Drug A
Forests are invaluable terrestrial ecosystems with considerable economic, ecological, and environmental benefits. Bark beetles have been recognized as one of the major causes of forest disturbance, and climate change can exacerbate their impact, leading to more tree mortality. Early detection of bark beetle attacks is vital to reduce forest loss and devastating consequences. This study examines th
High aspect ratio nanostructuring requires high precision pattern transfer with highly directional etching. In this work, we demonstrate the fabrication of structures with ultra-high aspect ratios (up to 10 000 : 1) in the nanoscale regime (down to 10 nm) by platinum assisted chemical etching of silicon in the gas phase. The etching gas is created by a vapour of water diluted hydrofluoric acid and
Background: The immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy of recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) have gained increasing interest after the introduction of extended half-life products with various modifications of the rFVIII molecule, such as covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Anti-PEG antibodies may be associated with a temporary reduction of FVIII recovery, but according to previous studie
Transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water has a negative impact on oxygen concentration in coastal areas. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of catchment composition on the bioavailability of allochthonous carbon is lacking. In this project we address this knowledge gap by investigating the reactivity of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at river
BACKGROUND Numerous laboratory tests are used in the diagnosis and management of patients with diabetes mellitus. The quality of the scientific evidence supporting the use of these assays varies substantially. An expert committee compiled evidence-based recommendations for laboratory analysis in patients with diabetes. The overall quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations wer
Adjuvants have traditionally been appreciated for their immunoenhancing effects, whereas their impact on immunological memory has largely been neglected. In this paper, we have compared three mechanistically distinct adjuvants: aluminum salts (Alum), Ribi (monophosphoryl lipid A), and the cholera toxin A1 fusion protein CTA1-DD. Their influence on long-term memory development was dramatically diff
A hyperspectral field sensor (FloX) was installed in Adventdalen (Svalbard, Norway) in 2019 as part of the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) for monitoring vegetation phenology and Sun-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) of high-Arctic tundra. This northernmost hyperspectral sensor is located within the footprint of a tower for long-term eddy covariance flux measurements
To understand mating-system evolution in self-compatible hermaphrodites, variation in selfing rates is highly relevant. Empirical studies are rarely designed to capture variation between individuals, instead often comparing species and populations. Yet, evolution primarily occurs within populations, rendering among-individual variation essential. Observed individual selfing rates depend on the env
The History of African Development – published by the African Economic History Network (AEHN) – aims to draw experts in the field of African History, Economics and African Development Studies together around an open access textbook. The textbook is primarily intended for teachers/lecturers and undergraduate students, at African universities, but also for an interested wider public audience. The AE
Background: Administration of various exogenous surfactant preparations has been shown to decrease lung injury and pneumothorax and improve survival in very preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). There is no consensus on the threshold for surfactant administration, to allow timely intervention and avoid over-treatment, also considering the invasiveness of the procedure and its c
Seismic Structural Health Monitoring (S2HM) provides information about the integrity of civil structures and infrastructure in the aftermath of an earthquake. However, quantifying the benefits of S2HM information is crucial to justify the investment in S2HM systems. The benefit of S2HM can be computed through the Value of Information (VoI) from Bayesian decision theory, which compares the expected
