Recension av Tim Marshall, Geografins makt: Tio kartor som förklarar världen, övers. Pär Svensson, Volante, Stockholm 2018 (343 s.) och Thomas Reinertsen Berg, Kartornas historia, övers. Jan Wibom, Lind & Co, Stockholm 2018 (351 s.).

Barnsliga sammanhang : forskning om barns och ungdomars hälsa, välbefinnande och delaktighet

I forskningsmiljön Children’s and Young People’s Health in Social Context,CYPHiSCO, förenar forskare vid Högskolan Kristianstad sitt intresse för barns, tonåringars och unga vuxnas psykiska och fysiska hälsa, välbefinnande och delaktighet. I CYPHiSCO bedrivs både grundforskning om faktorer som står i samband med hälsa och tillämpad forskning såsom aktionsforskning eller utvärderingar av prevention

Towards a holistic prioritization of climate-change risks for bridges

Although the projected changes in the climate include considerable uncertainties, especially with downscaling, there is irrefutable evidence that the climate is changing at an unprecedented and alarming rate. In recent studies, some of the potential climate-change risks on bridges have been identified. The sheer number of these potential risks provokes two questions. Firstly, for a certain risk of

Hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of four flavour QCD at finite temperature

In this talk I present results obtained by the MTc collaboration. We are performing an extensive numerical study of the finite temperature phase transition in lattice QCD with four flavours of staggered fermions. Here we report results for quark mass mq/T = 0.2 and preliminary data for mq/T = 0.08, obtained on 8 × 123 and 8 × 163 lattices, respectively, by using the hybrid Monte Carlo method. In a

Flavour degrees of freedom and the transition temperature in QCD

We study the finite temperature transition in QCD with four flavours of dynamical quarks. Our simulation is performed on an 8×16 3 lattice for quarks of mass ma=0.01. At the coupling β c =5.15, we find long-lived metastable states, as well as an abrupt change in the entropy density, suggesting a first order phase transition. Using presently available results from corresponding calculations of the

Jord : mylla, mark och makt

Våra jordar är basen för en hållbar matproduktion. Vi har tagit jorden och jordarna för självklara men jordens hälsa är en garanti för framtiden. Jorden vi trampar på är av största vikt för allt levande på land. Med tanke på den alarmerande hastighet med vilken världens jordar håller på att förstöras är det viktigt att fästa uppmärksamheten på jord som en värdefull resurs som måste bevaras och utn

Priming of carbon and nitrogen mineralization in forest soils

Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) contributes significantly to the global carbon (C) cycle and climate feedbacks. SOM decomposition depends on soil microbial activities, and these activities are driven by the availability of C and other nutrients. Plant root exudates are known to alter decomposition of SOM, a phenomenon referred to as rhizosphere priming effects (RPE).

Direct photon elliptic flow in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV

The elliptic flow of inclusive and direct photons was measured at mid-rapidity in two centrality classes 0–20% and 20–40% in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV by ALICE. Photons were detected with the highly segmented electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS and via conversions in the detector material with the e+e− pairs reconstructed in the central tracking system. The results of the two methods were comb

Circulating high sensitivity C reactive protein concentrations and risk of lung cancer : Nested case-control study within Lung Cancer Cohort Consortium

Objectives To conduct a comprehensive analysis of prospectively measured circulating high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration and risk of lung cancer overall, by smoking status (never, former, and current smokers), and histological sub-type. Design Nested case-control study. setting 20 population based cohort studies in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the United States. ParticiPants

Influence of social characteristics on use of paediatric emergency care in Sweden - A questionnaire based study

Background: Parental social characteristics influence the use of emergency departments (ED) in the USA, but less is known about paediatric ED care-seeking in countries with national health insurance. This prospective study was designed to evaluate associations between parental care-seeking and social characteristics, with emphasis on impact of non-native origin, at a paediatric ED in Sweden, a Eur

A suitable width-size of a channel flow for obtaining the velocity profiles by using the Lattice Boltzmann method

The Poiseuille flow has been widely analyzed from analytical and experimental point of view with different approaches. Although the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has proven to be a suitable tool for mimicking the fluid flow behavior not only for complex but also for simple geometries such as lid driven cavity and channel flow, the required computational size or characteristic length to obtain an

Are Model Cities an Effective Instrument for Urban Environmental Governance?

Since the 1980s, China’s central government has created various model and incentive schemes aimed at systematically and concurrently promoting innovative approaches for protecting the urban ecological environment. In this context, programmes such as the ‘model city for protecting the environment’, ‘garden city’, ‘eco-city’, or ‘low-carbon city’ have become an integral part of China’s system for ur
