Are you worried about the climate and biodiversity crises and related events like heavy rainfalls and floods, high carbon emissions, sudden heat waves, or loss of species? Are you already doing something to help solve these problems? To reduce flood risks, we can give rivers more space by reconnecting floodplains. To store carbon and help to slow down climate change, we can protect and establish w

Denna rapport tittar närmare på de förändringarna i resvanor som skett de senaste årtiondena, inklusive en kort historisk utblick, vilka har identifierats i transportlitteraturen. Rapporten undersöker även möjligheten till innovation kopplat till transportslag och till mobilitetstjänster med syfte att svara upp till befintliga och framtida resebehov.Specifikt presenteras några möjliga svar till fr

Kort beskrivning av det studentikosa ordenssällskapet CC:s tillkomst 1868.

Environmental degradation is identified as a key factor that threatens the future of life on Earth, but such generalised reading entails that conceal the uneven effects of environmental degradation. When environmental degradation takes place on the lands of the marginalised groups, it is often overlooked or further justified by hegemonic powers that view these areas as natural resources or hideout

The coefficient of friction (COF) is an important parameter when evaluating brake system performance. It is complex to predict friction due to its dependence on parameters, such as sliding velocity, contact pressure, temperature, and friction material mixtures. The aim of this work is to evaluate the macroscopic COF of a disc brake system under specific braking conditions by a meso-scale approach,

The synthesis of hierarchically porous materials usually requires complex experimental procedures, often based around extensive trial and error approaches. One common synthesis strategy is the sol-gel method, although the relation between synthesis parameters, material structure and function has not been widely explored. Here, in situ 2D hard X-ray ptychography (XRP) and 3D ptychographic X-ray com

We study the scaling properties of the differential cross section of elastic proton–proton (pp) and proton–antiproton (pp¯) collisions at high energies. We introduce a new scaling function, that scales – within the experimental errors – all the ISR data on elastic pp scattering from s=23.5–62.5 GeV to the same universal curve. We explore the scaling properties of the differential cross-sections of

We derive the light-front wave function (LFWF) representation of the γ∗γ∗→ηc(1S),ηc(2S) transition form factor F(Q12,Q22) for two virtual photons in the initial state. For the LFWF, we use different models obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation for a variety of cc̄ potentials. We compare our results to the BABAR experimental data for the ηc(1S) transition form factor, for one real

The way people articulate their experiences can give us interesting insights into how they have made sense of them, beyond what the mere content can express. These articulations can also shed light on the meanings and morals implicit in these recountings, as well as evaluations of these meanings, and suggest ways forward: ‘[o]ur self-stories condition what we will do tomorrow because whatever tomo

Bryophytes and lichens are two main components of the forest floor vegetation. They provide essential ecosystem services, including nutrient recycling and water regulation. Here, we contrast the species richness, cover and community composition of forest floor bryophytes and lichens in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) dominated production forests. The study sites were

Cardiovascular comorbidity is common in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and may significantly affect treatment tolerability and patient outcome. Still, there are no established biomarkers for objective and dynamic assessment as a tool for improved treatment decisions. We have investigated circulating levels of midregional-pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), midregional-proatrial-natriuretic peptide (MR-
