Numerous natural materials are porous, contain free gas, and are scattering light strongly. Scattering brings about a strong trapping of light and an associated prolonged transit time for photons through a medium. In contrast to the matrix materials, gas enclosures require very narrow‐band laser radiation for probing. We have in the present study used the gas in scattering media absorption spectro

Climate change is a physical reality, demanding political and practical solutions. But its inner dimension, overlooked entirely by mainstream approaches, is a human crisis of relationship. This report outlines the relevance of mindfulness and compassion practices in addressing the endemic disconnection from self, others and nature at the root of the climate crisis.We explore the cognitive and emot

Under våren 2022 ska den så kallade Everlöv-skatten säljas på offentlig auktion. Därför kommer skatten att splittras upp och föremålen därmed spridas vind för våg. Detta är mycket beklagansvärt ur vetenskaplig synvinkel, men även ur samhällets och allmänhetens perspektiv. Fornminnen och fornsaker, däribland naturligtvis vikingatida skattfynd, är vårt gemensamma kulturarv. Depåfyndet består av en s

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in relation to age, multimorbidity and socioeconomic status of primary healthcare centres in southern Sweden.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.SETTING: The data were collected concerning diagnoses at each consultation in all primary healthcare centres and secondary healthcare in the southernmost county of Sweden at

By combining microscopically calculated level densities with the Metropolis walk method, we develop a consistent framework for treating the energy and angular-momentum dependence of the nuclear shape evolution in the fission process. For each nucleus under consideration, the level density is calculated microscopically for each of more than five million shapes with a recently developed combinatoria

Dietary factors associated with stroke risk are still rather unknown. The aim was to examine the association between adherence to healthy dietary patterns and incidence of stroke among 25,840 individuals from the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort. Dietary data were obtained using a combination of a 7-day food record, diet questionnaire, and interview. A Swedish Dietary Guidelines Score (S

COVID-19 has affected the daily activities of people worldwide. Recommendations introduced to reduce the spread of the virus led to increased use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to meet everyday needs. Such rapid digitalization had not been seen previously and not been possible to study before. Hence, this study aimed to identify and describe self-reported changes in usage of a

Denna rapport Tillfälliga lösningar i urbana miljöer för långsiktig destinationsutveckling -Om att förstå nyttan med mikroparker för stadens gröna infrastruktur ingår i det av FORMAS finansierade forskningsprojektet ”Urban turismutveckling i förnyelse: Hantera hållbarhet i tilltagande turismflöden”. I rapporten diskuteras hur tillfälliga lösningar i gaturummet kan ha stor betydelse för en långsikt

Projektet Sol i gemenskap: deltagande, organisation och regelverk (SiG) syftade till att undersöka hur deltagande, organisation och regelverk påverkar de allmänna villkoren för så kallade ”solgemenskaper” samt vilka grupper som investerar i gemensamt ägd solelproduktion i Sverige. Det har gjorts genom en kartläggning av befintliga solgemenskaper och re-gelverk för gemensamt ägd elproduktion i Sver

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) becomes more common with increasing life expectancy, but general population prevalence estimates are lacking. We investigated an epidemiological distribution of signs of PN among 2,996 community-dwelling participants in Good Aging in Skåne Study, age 60–97, and their impact on physical and autonomic function. Methods: Signs of PN were measured with Utah Ear

For many years, Articles 31-33 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) have been considered a reFlection of the international law that governs the interpretation of treaties. This essay identifies two different ways of conceiving of this law: it can be regarded either as a tool for the justification of meaning or a tool for its discovery. The essay clarifies the relationship th
