A risk indexing method for evaluating safety in railway tunnels has been developed. Firstly, ahierarchical structure with one objective, three sub-objectives, four strategies and ten attributes weredefined. Secondly, attributes were elaborated and developed by means of assessable parametersrelated to tunnel safety. Thirdly, the relative importance of the attributes was analysed and assessed bymean
A migmatitic orthogneiss in the Western Segment in the Sveconorwegian Province of the Baltic Shield was dated using the ion-probe U-Pb method on zircon grains, which were also analysed for rare earth elements. Mesosome zircons have 1.605±0.010Ga magmatic cores, which places the gneiss protolith in the same 1.61-1.59Ga time bracket as continental arc-related gneisses, abundant in this part of the S

The industrial development has during the last century caused a disturbance to the ecological system in the ecosphere, and many industrial processes are still systematically causing harm. In an increasing manner this is raising a demand for technology that reduce the burdens on the ecological system. The innovation of technology that responds to these demands is important, not just for human well
Background: The drinking water in parts of Ronneby was heavily contaminated with perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for decades. Although PFAS has endocrine-disrupting properties and may interfere with breastfeeding, the effects in populations with a point source of high exposure are unknown. Objectives: To investigate associations between high PFAS exposure and 1) initiation and 2) duration of brea
