Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The consequences of this include rising temperatures, shifts in precipitation patterns, and increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts. Elevated temperatures can accelerate microbial activity in soil, potentially resulting in an increased rate of soil
Objective. To examine the changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in terms of age, gender, and treatment strategy in Iran. Methods and Materials. Forty-nine patients responded to the Iranian version of the 36-item short form (SF-36) questionnaire to evaluate the HRQoL at first and third year after treatment. The paired and independentWilcoxo
We all know that conflict creates displacement. Life becomes untenable in different ways, and people are forced to move; the majority ending up as internally displaced people within the nation-state, while others wind up in refugee camps in neighboring countries, and a very few seek asylum in faraway places. The recent war in Ukraine and the conflict in Syria since 2011 seemingly fit into this cla
Background: Adverse events induced by intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to treat high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) often lead to treatment discontinuation. The EAU-RF NIMBUS trial found a reduced number of standard-dose BCG instillations to be inferior with the standard regimen. Nonetheless, it remains important to evaluate whether patients in the reduced BCG treatmen
We have previously investigated the biodistribution and therapy effect of a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) intended for theranostics of hormone-refractory prostate cancer. In the present study, we evaluated the off-target effect and different linear energy transfer (LET) radionuclides without the effect of PSA targeting by using an antibody with the s
In situ CO2 and CO measurements from five Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) atmosphere stations have been analysed together with footprint model runs from the regional Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport (STILT) model to develop a dedicated strategy for flask sampling with an automated sampler. Flask sampling in ICOS has three different purposes, namely (1) to provide an indepe
As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu
We have earlier shown that radio frequency electromagnetic fields can cause significant leakage of albumin through the blood-brain barrier of exposed rats as compared to non-exposed rats, and also significant neuronal damage in rat brains several weeks after a 2 h exposure to a mobile phone, at 915 MHz with a global system for mobile communications (GSM) frequency modulation, at whole-body specifi
Stroke is one of the most common diseases and has several potential consequences, such as psychological problems and pain. Return to work (RTW) after stroke in working-age individuals is incomplete. The present study aimed to investigate differences in self-perceived general health, pain, and depression between 1 and 5 years post-stroke related to RTW status. The study was nationwide, registry-bas
The aim of the project MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) was to produce information that can be cited in the preparation of national and EU decisions concerning speed management and speed control equipment standards. For this purpose, the project looked for answers to three key questions: 1)What are acceptable ranges of speeds? 2)What are the key factors influencing drivers’ ch
This paper discusses the term solidarity in relation to knowledge, and the existing tension between a vital women’s movement on the one hand, and a feminist academic theory on the other. The raise of a highly capitalist and neoliberal notion of feminism, a sort of “free market feminism” is restricting and limiting the space for solidarity in feminist politics and theory. Jodi Dean’s term reflexive
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att kunna resa och transportera gods är en del av människors vardag i dagens samhälle. De flesta av dessa transportmedel använder förbränningsmotorer på grund av dess flexibilitet, låg global kostnad och lång körsträcka. Utsläpp i olika former är en oönskad biprodukt av förbränningsmotorer som är skadlig både för människor och för miljön. Diesel motorer är idag bland deInternal combustion engines have been an important technological field for more than a century. It has had an important impact on society through improved transportation and industrial applications. However, concerns about environmental effects of exhaust gases and utilization of oil resources have pushed development of combustion engines towards cleaner combustion and higher efficiencies. The d
Hypothesis: The classical STD NMR protocol to monitor solvent interactions in gels is strongly dependent on gelator and solvent concentrations and does not report on the degree of structuration of the solvent at the particle/solvent interface. We hypothesised that, for suspensions of large gelator particles, solvent structuration could be characterised by STD NMR when taking into account the parti
Voice problems are common among workers in occupations with high demands on oral communication. For sustaining vocal health, it is important to find efficient ways for how to reduce strain on the voice at work, and one way to do so is optimizing the room acoustics for communication. However, to date we do not know enough about what kind of room acoustic conditions that support voice and speech mos
Most of the natural resources we rely on for our existence on this planet could in one way or another be a subject to overexploitation through tragedy of the commons. Tragedy of the commons occurs when rational individuals all acting in their own self-interest creates a situation that is suboptimal for everyone involved (Hardin, 1968). For long privatization or government control over a common wer
To find out what stresses the markhors, Capra falconeri, at Nordens Ark the herd of five female individuals have been observed during four hours per day for 10 days. In the wild these animals live at high altitudes of the Himalayan Mountains and are excellent climbers with impressive horns that can grow up to 160 cm. The aim was to find out if the zookeepers had a stressing impact on the herd, and
ODIN (Optical and Diffraction Imaging with Neutrons) is a general purpose imaging in- strument under construction at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The instrument will provide the scientific community with a wide array of neutron imaging techniques, including neutron tomography. Coupled with an integrated X-ray source, the instrument will feature multi-modal capabilities. The complementary
This thesis analyses how the growth of wind and solar PV generation has affected wholesale electricity prices in Spain between 2020 and 2025, and how that relationship evolved as renewable penetration increased. Using 52,603 hourly observations obtained from the REE ESIOS public data portal — covering OMIE day-ahead spot prices, electricity demand, wind generation, and solar PV generation — the st
Summary for Group and Ring Theory, Spring semester 2020 Course responsible: Arne Meurman Other teachers: None Number of students: 37 Grade at first exam: 4 V, 5 G, 7 U Evaluation Report on the course evaluation: See separate file.
