Det skogsbruk och den skogsnäring vi har idag har formats i en annan tid och under andra förutsättningar än de som råder nu. Hur man än ser på klimatfrågan innebär den en ny dimension som återstår att fullt ut inkorporera i bedömningar och beslut om mål och styrning, hos skogsägaren, skogsindustrin och i politiken. Vid sidan om produktionen av träråvara måste nu också klimatnyttan ses som ett mål.

Background: Several methods exist to reduce the number of arterial blood gases (ABGs). One method, Roche v-TAC, has been evaluated in different patient groups. This paper aggregates data from these studies, in different patient categories using common analysis criteria. Research design and methods: We included studies evaluating v-TAC based on paired arterial and peripheral venous blood samples. B

Crystal Phase Quantum Dots (CPQDs) offer promising properties for quantum communication. How CPQDs can be formed in Au-catalyzed GaAs nanowires using different precursor flows and temperatures by in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) experiments is studied. A III-V gas supply system controls the precursor flow and custom-built micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) chips wi

Background: Fentanyl is commonly administered for procedural pain management in preterm infants, but target concentrations have not yet been defined. Methods: To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK), -dynamics (PD), and -genetics (PG), 25 infants (gestational age 23.3–34.1 weeks) received a fentanyl dose before a skin-breaking procedure (0.5 µg/kg) or tracheal intubation (2 µg/kg). Four pain scales w

Centrifugal compressors are widely used in turbocharged powertrains for Heavy-Duty applications. The volute of the centrifugal compressors is generally of the overhung type. The design of volutes is often neglected, and the shape of the volute is dictated by the packaging requirements of the engine. However, with the advent of Hydrogen-based propulsion systems, the efficiency of all the components

Let (X, μ, T , d) be a metric measure-preserving dynamical system such that three-fold correlations decay exponentially for Lipschitz continuous observables. Given a sequence (Mk) that converges to 0 slowly enough, we obtain a strong dynamical Borel.Cantelli result for recurrence, that is, for μ-almost every x ∈ X, {equation presented} where μ(Bk(x)) = Mk. In particular, we show that this result h

In urban property development projects, attention to the needs and aspirations of local communities is often neglected. Although some developers still consider local community stakeholders to be a potential threat to their developments, in many developed countries, stakeholder participation is embedded within statutory processes such as the formal planning process and is increasingly regarded as a

The coupling between fluid-structure interactions is governed by the pressure distribution over the interaction surface between the fluid and solid domains. The capabilities of non-intrusive optical techniques, such as particle image velocimetry and Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT), have been proven to provide accurate velocity and acceleration information within the flow field while simultaneou

Background and purpose: National quality registries for stroke care operate under the assumption that the included patients are correctly diagnosed. We aimed to validate the clinical diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in Riksstroke (RS) by evaluating radiological data from a large, unselected ICH population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including al

Objectives: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is associated with a poor prognosis and a lack of specific treatment options. The dysregulation of activin A (ActA) has been reported in various malignancies. Herein, we investigated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of ActA in LUSC. Materials and methods: ActA concentrations were measured using ELISA in plasma samples of 128 LUSC patients (

Purpose: To examine anthropometric predictors of BMI 30 years after the onset of adolescent AN. Methods: A group of 51 individuals with adolescent-onset AN were identified in Sweden in 1985. Anthropometric data have been collected from birth records and school nurse charts. A group matched for gender, school and age constituted a healthy control group. Possible predictors of BMI 30 years after AN

The axillary lymph node status remains an important prognostic factor in breast cancer, and nodal staging using sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is routine. Randomized clinical trials provide evidence supporting de-escalation of axillary surgery and omission of SLNB in patients at low risk. However, identifying sentinel lymph node macrometastases (macro-SLNMs) is crucial for planning treatment ta

Tendon healing involves mechanosensitive cells that adapt to mechanical stimuli through mechanotransduction, resulting in increased tissue strength. However, detailed insights into this process in response to different loads remain limited. We aimed to investigate how different loading regimes impact the spatial composition of elastin and collagens during Achilles tendon healing. Histological anal

Introduction: Studies suggest that experiences of patient participation, as described by both patients and staff, are associated with a significant caring relationship of high quality. Aim: This study aimed to investigate staffs' and patients' self-reported perceptions on participation and the frequency and importance of verbal and social interactions in high-security forensic psychiatry. Method:

Building occupant behaviour is known to be an important factor that drives building energy use and the associated carbon emissions. A substantial body of work has investigated occupant behaviour and the underlying drivers. Yet it is generally known that some buildings allow only minimal behavioural intervention, such as on/off control of lights. Other buildings allow a much higher degree of interv

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can lead to a type of primary liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Georgia, a high HCV prevalence country, started an HCV elimination program in 2015. In addition to tracking incidence and mortality, surveillance for the HCV-attributable fraction of HCC is an important indicator of the program’s impact. This study assesses HCV infection-
