Alexandra Kollontai and three Swedish female physicians : Friendly relationships around the Soviet ambassador in Stockholm 1930–1945
Alexandra Kollontai was the Soviet ambassador to Sweden in the years1930 to 1945. In Sweden she gained many friends in the peace- and women’s movement and among these were several female physicians. This article describes and investigates the friendships between Swedish female physicians and Alexandra Kollontai. The three physicians focused on are Ada Nilsson (1872–1964), Andrea Andreen (1888–1972
Evolution of magnetic properties during tempering
Quality control in heat treatment of steel is often conducted after the treatment. Failure to confine within the specified range of mechanical properties may lead to wasted energy and production resources. Performing quality control in-line in the heat treatment process allows for early detection and possibility to react to changes in the process. The prospects of utilizing the change in the elect
University campuses as testbeds of smart urban innovation
In this chapter, the authors begin by interpreting smart urban development as a mode of urban experimentation where Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is being implemented to fundamentally alter the operation of cities. They focus on the role of university campuses in situating smart urban development. By drawing on literatures on urban laboratories and experimentation as well as uni

District heating comes to Ecotown : zero-carbon housing and the rescaling of UK energy provision
It is now more than two decades since Jane Summerton published her landmark book District Heating Comes to Town about the successful development of a district heating system in an ‘ordinary’ town in Sweden. It was published when sociotechnical studies of urban technical systems were still relatively rare, and arrived during a fertile period of intellectual development that was striving to connect
Expertise : specialised knowledge in environmental politics and sustainability
The dominant role of technology in contemporary societies requires the public to rely on individuals with specialized knowledge to invent, design, manufacture, and maintain increasingly complex artifacts and networks. As Stilgoe et al. ( 2006 : 16) note, “Our everyday lives are played out through a series of technological and expert relationships.” In spite of the increasing reliance on technologi
Living laboratories for sustainability : exploring the politics and epistemology of urban transition
Creating a more sustainable society is increasingly an urban challenge (Pincetl 2010). Upwards of 50 per cent of the world’s population currently dwell in cities, and this figure is forecast to rise dramatically over the coming decades (Grimm et al. 2008). Cities both concentrate the activities that produce carbon emissions, and suffer disproportionately from their negative impacts such as air pol
Quality of facility-based maternal and newborn care around the time of childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic : online survey investigating maternal perspectives in 12 countries of the WHO European Region
Background: Multi-country studies assessing the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) during the COVID-19 pandemic, as defined by WHO Standards, are lacking.Methods: Women who gave birth in 12 countries of the WHO European Region from March 1, 2020 - March 15, 2021 answered an online questionnaire, including 40 WHO Standard-based Quality Measures.Findings: 21,027 mothers were included in the

Areal Precipitation Coverage Ratio for Enhanced AI Modelling of Monthly Runoff: A New Satellite Data-Driven Scheme for Semi-Arid Mountainous Climate
Satellite remote sensing provides useful gridded data for the conceptual modelling of hydrological processes such as precipitation–runoff relationship. Structurally flexible and computationally advanced AI-assisted data-driven (DD) models foster these applications. However, without linking concepts between variables from many grids, the DD models can be too large to be calibrated efficiently. Ther
A CFD study of a pin-on-disc tribometer setup focusing on airborne particle sampling efficiency
One of the most important measures to evaluate air quality is the presence of particles. Pin-on-disc tribometers are used to study airborne wear particles originating from different sliding contacts in a controlled laboratory environment. One important aspect when measuring airborne particles is to ensure isokinetic sampling conditions. Another important aspect is that the concentration and the pa
Bone mineral density in haemophilia – a multicentre study evaluating the impact of different replacement regimens
AimThe aim of this study was to investigate if prophylactic treatment in severe haemophilia impact on bone mineral densisty (BMD) in adults with haemophilia A/B.MethodsSubjects with haemophilia (n = 120) underwent bone-density measurement and clinical data was collected. BMD in subjects with severe haemophilia on high-dose prophylaxis (n = 41) was compared to BMD in subjects with mild haemophilia

Underlying conditions contributing to breathlessness in the population
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Assessment of underlying conditions that contribute to breathlessness is fundamental for symptom management. This review aims to summarize the knowledge from the past two years on the most common underlying conditions among individuals with breathlessness in the general population and to identify research gaps. RECENT FINDINGS: Nine studies from the last two years were included
Neutrophils Lose the Capacity to Suppress T Cell Proliferation Upon Migration Towards Inflamed Joints in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Neutrophils are highly abundant in synovial fluid of rheumatic inflamed joints. In oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), synovial fluid neutrophils have impaired effector functions and altered phenotype. We hypothesized that these alterations might impact the immunoregulatory interplay between neutrophils and T cells. In this study we analyzed the suppressive effect of neutrophils, i
The Relation Between Precarious Employment Arrangements and Social Precarity : Findings from the PREMIS Study in Stockholm, Sweden
Precarious employment (PE) is a well-known social determinant of health and health inequalities. However, as most previous studies have focused on physical and mental well-being, less is known about the social-related outcomes (ie, social precarity) associated with precarious arrangements. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate whether PE is associated with social precarity in a working po
The fate of icy pebbles undergoing sublimation in protoplanetary discs
Icy pebbles may play an important role in planet foation close to the water ice line of protoplanetary discs. There, dust coagulation is more efficient and recondensation of vapour on pebbles may enhance their growth outside the ice line. Previous theoretical studies showed that disruption of icy pebbles due to sublimation increases the growth rate of pebbles inside and outside the ice line, by fr
