Climate change has the potential to impact headwater streams in the Arctic by thawing permafrost and subsequently altering hydrologic regimes and vegetation distribution, physiognomy and productivity. Permafrost thaw and increased subsurface flow have been inferred from the chemistry of large rivers, but there is limited empirical evidence of the impacts to headwater streams. Here we demonstrate h

The tundra–taiga ecotone plays significant role in northern ecosystems. Due to global climatic changes, the vegetation of the ecotone is the key object of many remote-sensing studies. The interpretation of vegetation and nonvegetation objects of the tundra–taiga ecotone on satellite imageries of a moderate resolution is complicated by the difficulty of extracting these objects from the spectral an

This chapter examines how three parties of the radical right reinterpret the Nordic welfare model to serve a nativist purpose. These parties are the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti, DF), the Finns Party (Perussuomalaiset/Sannfinländarna, PS), and the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna, SD). The period under analysis stretches from 2009 to 2019, which saw the electoral consolidation of t

Prästen, psalmdiktaren och folkhögskolepionjären Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig och den rörelse som utgick från honom kom att spela en central roll för formandet av den danska religiösa och nationella identiteten från mitten av 1800-talet och framåt. Detta är ett känt faktum. Mindre känt är att grundtvigianismen även kom att få betydelse för katolsk identitetsformering i Danmark och indirekt ä

This chapter presents the notion of spatial justice as a way of considering the relationship between law and street art in a manner beyond the legal/illegal dichotomy. Through a series of empirical examples, it is demonstrated how street art literally takes a place already taken and imposes itself in an already appropriated urban public space. Street art thus ´redefines the space in contestation t

Background: Healthy lifestyles are inversely associated with the risk of noncommunicable diseases, which are leading causes of death. However, few studies have used longitudinal data to assess the impact of changing lifestyle behaviours on all-cause and cancer mortality. Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, lifestyle profiles of 308,497 ca

Oppositely charged polymer-surfactant systems are expected to interact with formation of coacervate complexes near composition of charge-neutrality. Such behaviour is widely used in formulated products (e.g. household and personal care), where the co-deposition of coacervates and active ingredients on various surfaces is triggered by dilution. A transition towards the use of more sustainable ingre

Background: Most studies infer increasing incidence of proximal humeral fractures (PHF) from the 1950´s until the 1990´s. Recent time trends are less clear. Objectives: Our primary objective was to identify time trends in the age- and sex-adjusted adult incidence of PHF in Malmö, Sweden, from year 1944 until 2020. Our secondary objectives were to describe the variation in incidence according to ag

In microbiology, cell analysis is an important tool for understanding influences on biotechnological production. Using current bulk methods, the secretome cannot be assigned to the corresponding cell. This contribution reports a novel method for cell separation inside microscale droplets. Cells are focused in droplets using bulk acoustic waves before the droplet is split at a bifurcation. For a wi

This work presents a novel concept for acoustofluidic cell manipulation: thin vibrating channel walls. Improved etch recipes enable us to produce thin walls between two microfluidic channels, fabricated in silicon or via PDMS casting, that can be used for challenging microbiological applications. We demonstrate the medium exchange for bacteria utilised for transformation, single-cell rotation for

This work presents an acoustofluidic chip capable of separating cells form their corresponding secretome for subsequent MALDI-MS analysis, which can be used amongst many other applications for directed evolution.

This contribution reports a novel method for cell-supernatant separation inside nanoliter droplets with separation efficiencies for single cells of 100% at flow speeds of 2 mm/s. Cells are focused in nanoliter droplets using bulk acoustic waves before the droplet is split at a bifurcation into a supernatant- and a cell-containing droplet. The method enables upconcentration of cells, cell washing,

Model Hamiltonians are regularly derived from first principles to describe correlated matter. However, the standard methods for this contain a number of largely unexplored approximations. For a strongly correlated impurity model system, here we carefully compare a standard downfolding technique with the best possible ground-truth estimates for charge-neutral excited-state energies and wave functio

Background: Low grip strength and gait speed are associated with mortality. However, investigation of the additional mortality risk explained by these measures, over and above other factors, is limited. Aim: We examined whether grip strength and gait speed improve discriminative capacity for mortality over and above more readily obtainable clinical risk factors. Methods: Participants from the Heal

Background: The Ponseti method for treating clubfoot consists of initial treatment with serial casting accompanied by achillotenotomy if needed, followed by the maintenance phase including treatment with a foot abduction orthosis (FAO) for at least four years. This study aimed to examine the duration, course, and outcome of orthotic treatment in children with clubfoot. Methods: 321 children with c

The toxicity of particulate matter (PM) is dependent on particle physical and chemical properties and is commonly studied using in vivo and in vitro approaches. PM to be used for in vivo and in vitro studies is often collected on filters and then extracted from the filter surface using a solvent. During extraction and further PM sample handling, particle properties change, but this is often neglec

During the 1980s, Sweden faced a substantial intelligence threat from Soviet and Warsaw Pact attempts at collection and infiltration. Despite this, Swedish counterintelligence managed to launch several effective responses, including early detection of recruitment attempts and expulsion of a number of hostile intelligence officers operating under diplomatic cover. One part of this was the willing c

Viljan att skydda växter och djur får ibland orimliga effekter. Det skriver flera företrädare för Moderaternas arbetsgrupp för en kommande miljöpolitik på DN debatt.Farlig polariseringDe tar bland annat upp viktiga frågor om ”människans plats i naturen”. Men konflikten mellan utveckling och miljö är en återkommande missuppfattning. Frågan om naturvården främst bör utgå från människans eller nature
