Phthalates are widespread contaminants with differing chemical characteristics, which largely determine their product applications, and they can leach into the environment. Due to their endocrine disruptive properties at long-term low-level exposure, they propose a health threat to people that has been associated with several adverse health effects such as: decreased male fertility and impacts on
Patterns of lead and other trace metals were examined in 122 Eurasian eagle owls Bubo bubo found dead in Sweden in the period 1978–2013. Environmental lead (Pb) has decreased over recent decades from reduced anthropogenic emissions but mortality by Pb poisoning is still frequently reported for avian raptors and scavengers exposed to Pb ammunition. One objective here was to determine if Pb concentr
Attachment avoidance is associated with deactivation of the attachment system when distressed, and disengagement from distressing information to maintain felt security. This study investigated how experimentally induced priming to enhance felt security might influence avoidant strategies at an attentional level. In a randomized, mixed design (N=104), we assessed attentional vigilance/disengagement
Preferential pathways are crucial channels for water and solute infiltration. To better investigate the features of flow pathways in forest soils, multi-tracer (Brilliant Blue and NaBr) experiments were conducted in pure forests dominated by Quercus variabilis BI., and Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco., respectively. Additionally, the total infiltration depth of 40 mm was selected. In the soil l
A common and huge challenge in risk and disaster management such as urban flood is the lack of effective communication, especially instant communication from the general public when sudden flooding occurs. There is a strong need to facilitate complementary risk management for authorities to communication with public in addition to mainstream channels. In a recent international project, possibility
The concept of a socially sustainable society is linked to the notion of equal access to high-quality welfare services and an equitable distribution of common resources. The rationale behind the introduction of private actors to provide welfare services is that greater choice will result in higher quality of service for individuals, achieved through a co-creation process. The purpose of this study
Pollinators play a central role in shaping the astounding diversity of angiosperm flowers. Flowers are complex, multidimensional, genetically and functionally integrated phenotypes, rendering it a challenge to quantify and interpret observed trait variation. Even variation in simpler trait measurements is a challenge to interpret, because of the multitude of selective agents and evolutionary proce
High-acoustic-energy-density acoustofluidic devices are necessary to make this technology a viable option for clinical applications in the biomedical field. We present a mechanical interface that enables delivery of a high-amplitude acoustic field inside a fluid cavity by translating the vibrations from two large piezoelectric elements into a microfluidic chip. The study comprises both experimenta
In this paper, we introduce OT-PCA, a novel approach for conducting Plaintext-Checking (PC) oracle based side-channel attacks, specifically designed for Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC). By calling the publicly accessible HQC decoder, we build offline templates that enable efficient extraction of soft information for hundreds of secret positions with just a single PC oracle call. Our method addresses cr
Psykologiforskare och psykologin som disciplin påverkar i stor utsträckning hur människor förstår sig själva och världen. Därför behöver de som använder sig av psykologi inom sitt yrke reflektera över vilken kunskap och vilka normer som de skapar och reproducerar. Som tidigare nämnts har psykologin en historia av att exkludera, sjukdomsförklara och omöjliggöra de levnadssätt som inte ingått i norm
