IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) rapporten som offentliggjordes 2021 visar att den globala uppvärmningen och dess konsekvenser fortskrider snabbt (Masson-Delmotte, V. et al. 2021, p.4). För att mildra och anpassa städer efter konsekvenserna av klimatförändringarna spelar stadsplanering och design en avgörande roll. År 2016 stod transporterna för nästan 30 % av EU:s totala koldioxidThe IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report published in 2021 shows that global warming and its consequences progress at a rapid rate. (Masson-Delmotte, V. et al. 2021, p.4) In order to mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change, urban planning and design play a crucial role. In 2016, transport was responsible for almost 30% of the total CO2-emissions of the EU (Europ

Minoritetsstress på grund av etnisk bakgrund är ett nytt område inom forskningsfältet minoritetsstress. Det saknas ett mätinstrument för denna typ av stress. Denna studie syftade till att utifrån Meyers (2003) koncept minoritetsstress, konstruera ett mätinstrument för mätning av etnisk minoritetstress (EMS); samt se minoritetsstressens relation till allmän stress, anknytning och coping för att undMinority stress due to ethnic background is a new area in the research field. Based on Meyer's (2003) concept of minority stress, this study aimed to construct an instrument for measuring ethnic minority stress (EMS); and study minority stress and its relation to general stress, attachment and coping to investigate whether attachment and coping can become dimensions that can be used to disting

We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database with 2060 childhood brain tumours diagnosed in the period 1958-1996 to analyse the risk of this tumour by parental cancers and in siblings of childhood brain tumour probands. Groups of patients were compared by calculating standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for brain tumours in offspring. 1.3% of brain tumour patients had a parent with nervou

The first measurement of the Υ(1S) elliptic flow coefficient (v2) is performed at forward rapidity (2.5

The current study aimed to estimate the effective doses and conversion coefficients (CCs) for typical barium swallow (BS), barium meal (BM) and barium enema (BE) protocols and to evaluate the impact of different examination parameters on the resulting CCs. Data were collected in surgical and therapy departments in St. Petersburg Urban Mariinsky Hospital. Computational models were developed using P

The isolation of mitochondria from potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) is described, but the methodology can easily be adapted to other storage tissues. After homogenization of the tissue, filtration and differential centrifugation, the key step is a Percoll density gradient centrifugation. The Percoll gradient contains two parts: a bottom part containing Percoll in 0.3 M sucrose, and a slightly

A literature review of methods where different hazards are combined into a multi-hazard index or method are presented in this report. The purpose of the review is to get an insight into approaches to combine different hazards into a multi-hazard index or method. To directly combine hazards, it is necessary to present them with the same unit of measure. This can be done with different measures for

Vid till- och nybyggnation i detaljplanerade områden finns det ett antal punkter som måste vara uppfyllda för att bygglov ska beviljas. Detta omfattar bland annat att ansökan ska följa gällande detaljplan samt att de krav och skyddsbestämmelser som finns i Plan- och bygglag (2010:900) ska vara uppfyllda. Ett av dessa krav är anpassningskravet i 2 kap. 6 § 1p PBL. Denna uppsats syftar till att geWhen granting a building permit for changes in detailed development areas, such as alterations and new construction, several requirements must be met. The application must comply with the detailed development plan, but also that the applicable regulations regarding the requirements and protective provisions are complied with. One of these requirements is the adaptation requirement (anpassningskrav

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are chemicals that have gained attention during the last years. There are about 10,000 different PFAS compounds, and due to their unique chemical characteristics, PFAS has been used in a variety of industrial applications and household products since the 1950s. Today, concerns about their toxicity and persistence have led to the regulation and banni

Eutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution. Nutrient polices in developed countries are often command-and-control policies that may have contributed to the slow growth of the sector. We perform a literature review to investigate how current nutrient polices affect the sector and if econEutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution.

This article provides a diverse range of insights into the question of how sociology can and should contribute to research on climate change. It takes an unconventional and unique approach to doing so, through a stylized conversation between the authors, which is based on an open-ended focus group discussion. The conversation illuminates different perspectives on if and how to research climate cha

In this article some initial results from the projects "Bronsildems deglar" (en. "Bronze Age melting crucibles") and "Deglarna frin Bokenäs" (en. "The crucibles from Bokenäs") are presented. The aim of the projects is to expand our knowledge of the production, use and discard of technical ceramics in south Sweden using laboratory analysis.

Objectives: This study investigated comorbidity in chemical intolerance (CI) and building-related intolerance (BRI) with (i) chronic sinusitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergic and nonallergic asthma and allergic rhinitis, and (ii) airway inflammatory symptoms. Methods: Data from two population-based questionnaire surveys, the Västerbotten and Österbotten Environmental Health Studie

An interleaved pseudocinematographic FLASH (fast low-angle shot) sequence with additional pulsed gradients for flow encoding was used to quantify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow velocities and CSF production. Flow-dependent phase information was obtained by subtracting two differently encoded phase images. The phase information in the resultant image was converted to flow velocity with a calibratio

Lubrication has been proven to be an effective approach to drastically improve the efficiency of ultrasonic motors without losing the output torque. This phenomenon is attributed to the effective modulation of the friction force by lubricant, according to the theory described in the Stribeck curve. Previous findings even show a potential to increase the motor output torque with lubrication. Here,

Temperature and coagulant types have an important impact on the quantity and quality of the residue (sludge) in water and wastewater treatment processes. Temperature influences water viscosity and the distribution of the coagulant in water. Coagulants can promote the agglomeration of fine particles into larger flocs so that they can be more easily separated from the water. Experiments have been co
