En reflektion kring värdet av en attraktiv stadskärna i tider

In this article we review the legal regulation of an obligation to self-isolate in Ukraine. For the period from 22 April 2020 till 22 June 2020 four groups of persons were obliged to self-isolate due to COVID-19. These groups are: persons diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19, persons that have been in contact with those diagnosed with COVID-19, those who consented to self-isolation when en

Soil contamination is a widespread problem and actions need to be taken in order toprevent damage to the groundwater and the life around the contaminated sites. InSweden more than 80.000 sites are potentially contaminated, therefore there is ademand for accurate and efficient methods for site characterization and soilremediation. In the past, the preferred methodology for soil remediation involved

Modern subtractive and additive manufacturing techniques present new avenues for X-ray optics with complex shapes and patterns. Refractive phase plates acting as glasses for X-ray optics have been fabricated, and spherical aberration in refractive X-ray lenses made from beryllium has been successfully corrected. A diamond phase plate made by femtosecond laser ablation was found to improve the Stre

Human activity is a major driver of change and has contributed to many of the challenges we face today. Detailed information about human population distribution is fundamental and use of freely available, high-resolution, gridded datasets on global population as a source of such information is increasing. However, there is little research to guide users in dataset choice. This study evaluates five

När fotografier från två epoker i en stadskärna jämförs kan det konstateras att perioden med mycket detaljhandel (1960-2000) kanske var en parantes. På bilder från perioden 1900-1930 visar det sig närmligen att stadskärnans skyltar domineras av caféer, verkstäder, livsmedel, skrädderier, skomakare mm. Så om vi nu är på väg in i ett stadskärna som präglas av närproducerat, reparationer, möten, co-c

Global fire-vegetation models are widely used to assess impacts of environmental change on fire regimes and the carbon cycle and to infer relationships between climate, land use and fire. However, differences in model structure and parameterizations, in both the vegetation and fire components of these models, could influence overall model performance, and to date there has been limited evaluation

Africa is largely influenced by fires, which play an important ecological role influencing the distribution and structure of grassland, savanna and forest biomes. Here vegetation strongly interacts with climate and other environmental factors, such as herbivory and humans. Fire-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) display high uncertainty in predicting the distribution of current tropi

När ekonomin och sysselsättningen alltmer baseras på tjänster, möten och kreativitet istället för att många människor arbetar "fordistiskt" blir det också angeläget att lämna det modernistiska stadsbyggandet och arkitekturidealet bakom oss. Istället behövs stadsmiljöer som gynnar möten och mental stimulans.

Wood ash recycling to forests after logging residues harvest is important to ensure long-term sustainable forest management, however, it is not recycled in Sweden at the level required to compensate for current logging residue out-take. A problem in this context is wood ash contamination through co-incineration of waste wood with forest fuels, a practice driven by the political goal of a circular

Today’s scientific texts are complex and multimodal. Due to new technology, the number of images is increasing, as is their diversity and complexity. Interaction with complex texts and visualisations becomes a challenge. How can we help readers and learners achieve multimodal literacy? We use data from the audio description of a popular scientific journal and think- aloud protocols to uncover knowToday’s scientific texts are complex and multimodal.

The transcription factor SOX2 is a well-established and important stem cell marker. Its role in cancer biology remains unclear, but it has been proposed to also be a marker of cancer stem cells. We investigated the role of SOX2 protein expression in women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) to determine its potential prognostic and treatment predictive value. We constructed a tissue micr

Background: Oxytocin is released in response to a fatty meal. Blockage of the oxytocin receptor led to slower gastric emptying whereas stimulation resulted in less satiety in healthy volunteers. Patients with diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis lack oxytocin elevation, and dyspepsia is partly caused by reduced fundus accommodation causing early satiety and related symptoms. The aim of this study w

The World Cancer Research Fund International has concluded strong evidence for that high intake of dairy products and foods containing dietary fiber and low intake of processed meat are associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). As food items are consumed together, it is important to study dietary patterns. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between an a pr

The cytoplasmic protein AXIN1 is involved in the Wnt signalling pathway and its expression is increased in patients with endometriosis compared with healthy controls. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to further assess the levels of AXIN1 and other inflamma­tory biomarkers in patients with endometriosis. Patients with laparoscopy-verified endometriosis were recruited (n=172) and com
