Modelling creep in concrete cylinders subjected to different relative humidity levels–the VeRCoRs 2018 benchmark

In this study, a multiphysics model is presented that predicts creep in three months old concrete cylinders subjected to drying. The model includes concrete hydration, and a moisture transport model with relative humidity as the driving potential. These parameters are important to include in order to simulate creep. The model was implemented in the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics. The

Sweating the assets – The role of instrumentation, control and automation in urban water systems

Instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) are currently applied throughout the urban water system at water treatment plants, in water distribution networks, in sewer networks, and at wastewater treatment plants. However, researchers and practitioners specialising in respective urban water sub-systems do not frequently interact, and in most cases to date the application of ICA has been achieved

Your Top Songs 2018 : An Imaginary of co-creating Music Histories

This paper seeks to engage in a speculative discussion of the relationship between body and technology in the digital consumption of music today. By deploying the notion of User coined by Benjamin Bratton in his all-encompassing theory of The Stack (Bratton 2015) the paper outlines the inner workings in the usage of a digital music archive as a unity both politically and ontologically fertile. Spe

Psychometric evaluation of the anticipatory grief scale in a sample of family caregivers in the context of palliative care

Introduction: In palliative care, family caregivers are often faced with experiences of grief in anticipation of the loss of a close person. An instrument designed to measure this form of grief is the Anticipatory Grief Scale, which includes 27 items and has been used in several studies in various contexts. However, the instrument has not been validated. Aim: The aim was to evaluate the psychometr

Effect of salt seed particle surface area, composition and phase on secondary organic aerosol mass yields in oxidation flow reactors

Atmospheric particulate water is ubiquitous, affecting particle transport and uptake of gases. Yet, research on the effect of water on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields is not consistent. In this study, the SOA mass yields of an α-pinene and m-xylene mixture, at a concentration of 60 μgm-3, were examined using an oxidation flow reactor operated at a relative humidity (RH) of 60% and a re

Host-parasite interaction explains variation in the prevalence of avian haemosporidians at the community level

Parasites are a selective force that shape host community structure and dynamics, but host communities can also influence parasitism. Understanding the dual nature from host-parasite interactions can be facilitated by quantifying the variation in parasite prevalence among host species and then comparing that variation to other ecological factors that are known to also shape host communities. Avian

Trends of intense cyclone activity in the Arctic from reanalyses data and regional climate models (Arctic-CORDEX)

The ability of state-of-the-art regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate the trends of intense cyclone activity in the Arctic is assessed based on an ensemble of 13 simulations from 11 models from the Arctic-CORDEX initiative. Some models employ large-scale spectral nudging techniques. Cyclone characteristics simulated by the ensemble in winter and summer are compared with the results from four

Prognosis for intracerebral hemorrhage during ongoing oral anticoagulant treatment

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious adverse effect of treatment with oral anticoagulants. Prognostic data after ICH associated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are sparse. We compared 90-day survival and functional outcome following NOAC-ICH versus VKA-ICH using data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstr

Non-intrusive studies of gas contents and gas diffusion in hen eggs

A detailed study of the condition of eggs was performed using tunable diode lasers to monitor free gas in hen eggs. We detected oxygen and water vapor signals from 13 unfertilized eggs and studied the growth of the egg air cell over a time period of 3 weeks. We also studied the gas exchange through the egg shell, which is of particular interest for fertilized eggs. Four fertilized and five unferti

Varför offentlig rätt?

Artikeln återger författarens föreläsning vid installationen som professor i offentlig rätt vid juridiska fakulteten vid Lunds universitet i oktober 2018. Föreläsningen uppmärksammar de indelningar och specialiseringar som förekommer i juridiken,och då särskild offentlig rätt. Avsikten är att uppmärksamma frågan varför man överhuvudtaget ska tala om offentlig rätt och varför man ska ägna sig åt de

Global, regional, and national burden of suicide mortality 1990 to 2016 : Systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Objectives To use the estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 to describe patterns of suicide mortality globally, regionally, and for 195 countries and territories by age, sex, and Socio-demographic index, and to describe temporal trends between 1990 and 2016. Design Systematic analysis. Main outcome measures Crude and age standardised rates from suicide mortality and years of life

Moderniserad dagsljusstandard

This report is the account of SBUF project 13209 “Moderniserad dagsljusstandard” (Modernized daylight standard). This is a continuation of the SBUF project 12966 “Förstudie dagsljusstandard” (Pre-study daylight standard) published in 2015. SBUF and the Swedish Energy Agency are the two sources of this project’s funding. The task has been to freely describe and interpret history, day-to-day and fut

For dwelling and for governance : the mobile phone in mobile work

The social differentiation of mobile work is complex. While some people are in a position of control over, and initiate, mobilities, others are captivated by it (Massey 1994). The focus of this WP is transport workers, those who provide mobility: truck drivers, cycle couriers and uber drivers. It is inspired by previous studies of less privileged workers in the power geometry of mobile work: of se
