Clouds are essential elements within Earth's atmosphere, posing a challenge for cloud-resolving models in understanding the creation of new cloud ice particles from existing ice and liquid phases. Such ice initiation determines cloud microphysical and radiative properties, influencing cloud phase, precipitation and cloud extent/properties. To address this challenge effectively, it proves beneficia

Doppler evaluation of the aortic isthmus, located between the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus, can provide important information on fetal hemodynamic adaptation/deterioration related to intrauterine hypoxia. The aortic isthmus acts as a shunt deviating part of the blood flow from ductus arteriosus to the cranial circulation to maintain a normal oxygen delivery to the fetal brain.

Abstract: This paper provides one of the first studies on the role of social media in shaping collective memory in contemporary China. Social media enable the ordinary to participate in creating, interacting, and distributing alternative narratives of the past. Therefore, collective memory has being reconfigured under the influence of social media. Nevertheless, previous collective memory studies

Popular Abstract in Swedish Synergonomiska bedömningar och interventioner genomfördes på icke-dator relaterade arbetsuppgifter vid återvinningsanläggningar, postsorteringsanläggningar och i operationssalar. Resultaten kan i viss mån tillämpas på andra yrken och arbetsplatser. Syftet med forskningen var att undersöka vilken påverkan synergonomiska interventioner hade vad gällande ögonbesvär, muskulVisual ergonomics evaluations and interventions were performed on non-computer work tasks at recycling facilities, post sorting facilities and operating theatres. The results can to some extent be applicable to other professions and workplaces. The purpose of the research was to investigate the effects of visual ergonomics interventions on eyestrain, musculoskeletal discomfort, headache, and visua

Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (

The Swedish pulp and paper industry (PPI) accounts for almost 50 percent of industrial final energy use. It is an energy-intensive industry and process optimization is seen as prerequisite to compete on the global market. This alone should motivate company boards and on-site organisations to put energy management high on the agenda. Definitely, from time to time, energy issues (e.g. fuel shifts, s

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho

Högre utbildning (meaning Higher Education) is a Swedish peer-reviewed Open Access journal launched in 2010. The purpose for starting the journal was twofold: to support the development of knowledge about teaching and learning in a primarily Swedish and Nordic Higher education context, and to support the development of SoTL. In International journals perspectives from Britain, Australia and North

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kassava är ett stärkelserikt livsmedel, jämförbart med potatis. Det produceras främst i jordens tropiska regionerna och är ett viktigt livsmedel i Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava har stora fördelar som gröda eftersom avkastningen är hög, den har god motståndskraft mot sjukdomar, den växer även på mager jord och den är motståndskraftig mot torka. Emellertid, kassava har Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. The crop has growth advantages and production can take place in soil where other crops such as maize, sorghum and sweet potatoes can

Purpose: To assess limits for significant improvement or deterioration of visual fields in diabetic patients based on short-term test–retest variability in subjects with different degrees of retinopathy. Methods: Fifty patients with diabetic retinopathy ranging from level 10 to 75 [according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale] were tested repeatedly with both

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where the dopamine producing neurons in the ventral mesencephalon (VM) progressively die and result in symptoms such as resting tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness and difficulties in initiating movements.Currently there is no cure for PD and the available drug treatments only offer symptomatic relief and are often associated with severe side

Very intense neutrino beams and large neutrino detectors will be needed in order to enable the discovery of CP violation in the leptonic sector. We propose to use the proton linac of the European Spoliation Source currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, to deliver, in parallel with the spoliation neutron production, a very intense, cost effective and high performance neutrino beam. The basel

The aims of this work is to better determine the genetic background of gestational diabetes (GDM) and to examine how specific genes affect the development of diabetes post partum. In the DiPiS (Diabetes Prediction in Skåne) study we typed for HLA-DQB1 alleled, the transcription factor 7-like 2(TCF7L2) rs7903146, rs12255372 and rs7901695 SNPs, the 1858 C>T SNP of the protein tyrosine phosphatase n

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling är att visa hur elever i sina bilder berättar om hur det är att vara elev i skolan idag, och att visa reflektioner och samtal som bilderna ger upphov till hos lärare och lärarstudenter. En utgångspunkt har varit att bilder bär på kunskap, mening och betydelse som inte alltid kommer fram i det talade och skrivna språket. AvhanThe overall aim of this thesis is to examine how pupils in their pictures depict what it means to be a pupil in school today, and to explore the reflections and discussions that the images give rise to among teachers and student teachers. A starting point is the assumption that images are carriers of aspects of knowledge, meaning and sense that cannot always be presented through spoken or written
