Atmospheric particulate water is ubiquitous, affecting particle transport and uptake of gases. Yet, research on the effect of water on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields is not consistent. In this study, the SOA mass yields of an α-pinene and m-xylene mixture, at a concentration of 60 μgm-3, were examined using an oxidation flow reactor operated at a relative humidity (RH) of 60% and a re

Parasites are a selective force that shape host community structure and dynamics, but host communities can also influence parasitism. Understanding the dual nature from host-parasite interactions can be facilitated by quantifying the variation in parasite prevalence among host species and then comparing that variation to other ecological factors that are known to also shape host communities. Avian

The ability of state-of-the-art regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate the trends of intense cyclone activity in the Arctic is assessed based on an ensemble of 13 simulations from 11 models from the Arctic-CORDEX initiative. Some models employ large-scale spectral nudging techniques. Cyclone characteristics simulated by the ensemble in winter and summer are compared with the results from four

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious adverse effect of treatment with oral anticoagulants. Prognostic data after ICH associated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are sparse. We compared 90-day survival and functional outcome following NOAC-ICH versus VKA-ICH using data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstr

A detailed study of the condition of eggs was performed using tunable diode lasers to monitor free gas in hen eggs. We detected oxygen and water vapor signals from 13 unfertilized eggs and studied the growth of the egg air cell over a time period of 3 weeks. We also studied the gas exchange through the egg shell, which is of particular interest for fertilized eggs. Four fertilized and five unferti

Artikeln återger författarens föreläsning vid installationen som professor i offentlig rätt vid juridiska fakulteten vid Lunds universitet i oktober 2018. Föreläsningen uppmärksammar de indelningar och specialiseringar som förekommer i juridiken,och då särskild offentlig rätt. Avsikten är att uppmärksamma frågan varför man överhuvudtaget ska tala om offentlig rätt och varför man ska ägna sig åt de

Objectives To use the estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 to describe patterns of suicide mortality globally, regionally, and for 195 countries and territories by age, sex, and Socio-demographic index, and to describe temporal trends between 1990 and 2016. Design Systematic analysis. Main outcome measures Crude and age standardised rates from suicide mortality and years of life

This report is the account of SBUF project 13209 “Moderniserad dagsljusstandard” (Modernized daylight standard). This is a continuation of the SBUF project 12966 “Förstudie dagsljusstandard” (Pre-study daylight standard) published in 2015. SBUF and the Swedish Energy Agency are the two sources of this project’s funding. The task has been to freely describe and interpret history, day-to-day and fut

The social differentiation of mobile work is complex. While some people are in a position of control over, and initiate, mobilities, others are captivated by it (Massey 1994). The focus of this WP is transport workers, those who provide mobility: truck drivers, cycle couriers and uber drivers. It is inspired by previous studies of less privileged workers in the power geometry of mobile work: of se

The home is constituted of materials, cultural meanings and practices (Blunt & Dowling 2006), which means, among other things, that we make home through our domestic practices (Hollows 2008). In an ongoing cultural historical project on home management we are studying practices of domestic paperwork during the 20th century in Sweden. Through interviews with people born before 1940, and the stu
