Ingvar Kärnefelt hittade i somras den ovanliga lundgamandern på en till synes naturlig lokal i mellersta Halland.

We here describe the result of simulations of 15 generic neutron instruments for the long-pulsed European Spallation Source. All instruments have been simulated for 20 different settings of the source time structure, corresponding to pulse lengths between 1 ms and 2 ms; and repetition frequencies between 10 Hz and 25 Hz. The relative change in performance with time structure is given for each inst

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), comprising of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is the most prevalent cancer amongst Caucasians. The main risk factor for the development of NMSC is UV-irradiation but human papillo-mavirus (HPV) might be a co-factor. We extended the heterogeneity of the genus Betapapillomavirus by characterizing six putative types, HPV93 (species 1), 96

Background: The rate of biological ageing is individual and represents the steady decrease in physiological and mental functions. Adverse social factors have been shown to influence this process. Self-perceived early ageing (SEA) might be a useful indicator of early biological ageing and increased mortality risk. The aim of this population-based study was to identify markers of SEA, including telo

In Study 1 (N= 203) the factor structure of a Swedish translation of Pacini and Epstein's Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI-40) was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis. The hypothesized model with rationality and experientiality as orthogonal factors had satisfactory fit to the data, significantly better than alternative models (with two correlated factors or a single factor). Inclu

A 3D model is developed to describe an anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), by ANSYS/Fluent evaluating reactions including methane steam reforming (MSR)/water-gas shift (WGSR) reactions in thick anode layer and H-2-O-2/CO-O-2 electrochemical reactions in anode active layer, coupled with heat, mass species, momentum, and ion/electron charges transport processes in SOFC. The predicte

The selective inhibition (SI) technique has been widely used to resolve fungal and bacterial biomass. By studying bacterial growth (leucine/thymidine incorporation) and respiration simultaneously, this study demonstrates that the inhibitors the SI technique is based on do not efficiently or specifically resolve fungal and bacterial contributions to respiration. At concentrations that completely in

AimA significant number of children living in Sweden are bilingual, but how language screening is performed in this group is unknown. We investigated child healthcare nurses' perceptions of the language screening of bilingual children aged 30-36months, together with their clinical practices. MethodsAn online questionnaire was completed by 863 nurses who performed language screening of bilingual ch

It is not known if verum (real) acupuncture is effective for nausea and vomiting (emesis) during radiotherapy. We randomly treated 215 blinded cancer patients with verum: penetrating 'deqi' creating acupuncture (n = 109) or non-penetrating sham needles (n = 106) two to three times per week. The patients documented emesis daily during the radiotherapy period. Primary end point was the number of pat

The so-called New Passive in Icelandic takes the form 'it was elected us' (or, e.g., 'then was elected us', without an expletive), instead of the standard passive form 'we were elected'. It has neither A-movement to subject nor acc-to-nom conversion, which are otherwise diagnostic of the canonical passive in Icelandic and related languages. Some researchers have argued that "passive" is in fact a

In this work the synthesis of waterborne polyurethane/nanosilica nanocomposites by using two differ-ent strategies is presented, starting from a vinyl terminated polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) based onisophorone diisocyanate and polypropylene glycol, and varying the nanosilica content. In one case, thePUP was dispersed in an aqueous solution containing glycerol-functionalized colloidal nanosilica p

A tabulation technique assuming an auto-ignition dominated reaction pathway for highly turbulent premixed combustion is presented, implemented in an LES framework and evaluated. The tabulation method enables the reduction of the chemical system dimension to two scalars, allowing a computationally efficient model implementation, yet still retaining a sufficiently accurate representation of the chem

Popular Abstract in Swedish Energianvändningen i världen måste minska drastiskt inom en snar framtid för att därmed minska utsläppen av växthusgaser och bromsa klimatförändringarna. Energi och handlande med energikällor har även blivit nationella säkerhetsfrågor. Inom Europeiska Unionen används ungefär 40% av den totala energianvändningen i byggnader, vilket innebär ungefär 36% av det totala koldiThe use of energy is a major global issue both according to climate changes but also in the aspect of national safety tied to the trade with energy sources. Of the total energy use in the member states of the European Union, about 40% is used in residential and commercial buildings. Passive houses are one way to reduce the energy use in buildings and at the same time keep a good indoor comfort. Th

Multifunctional buildings are characterized by multiple functions located within the same building. In this report specific problem areas are identified by the means of interviews and previous method development. The risks identified consider multifunctionality and antagonistic attacks. As a result from the previous method developed and the interviews, reference scenarios are suggested and conclus
