We use cosmological hydrodynamic zoom simulations to study the neutral gas distributionin and around galaxies that gives rise to high column density HILyαabsorption (dampedLyαsystems (DLAs) and sub-DLAs) in background quasar spectra. Such simulations oftensacrifice numerical resolution for volume that affects the lower density galaxy halo gas,and simulations have difficulties reproduci
From 1980 through 1986, 119 patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities were referred to our tumor center either before surgery (n = 78) or immediately after incisional biopsy or marginal excision (n = 41). The tumors were classified according to anatomic location at admittance as subcutaneous (n = 40), intramuscular (n = 30), and extramuscular tumors (n = 49). Open biopsy was omitted in
It is hypothesized that insulin resistance and related metabolic factors may influence breast cancer risk, however the epidemiological evidence remains inconclusive. We conducted a case-control study nested in a prospective cohort in Northern Sweden, to clarify the associations of body mass index (BMI), leptin, adiponectin, C-peptide, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) with breast cancer risk. We al
Chondrocytes isolated from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma were incubated in culture with [1-3H]glucose for 30 min to 8 h. Labeled proteoglycans were isolated, treated with borohydride under alkaline conditions, and the three complex sugar structures purified: N- and O-linked oligosaccharides and chondroitin sulfate chains. The amount of incorporated radioactivity into each component sugar was analyz
Background and purpose — Idiopathic clubfoot can be bilateral or unilateral; however, most studies of gait have assessed clubfoot cases as one uniform group. The contralateral foot in children with unilateral clubfoot has shown deviations in pedobarographic measurements, but it is seldom included in studies of gait. We evaluated gait in children with idiopathic clubfoot, concentrating on foot invo
Background: Changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) tone are present before, during, and after episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR, the inverse of the atrial cycle length) has been used as a surrogate marker for local refractoriness and is a key characteristic of the fibrillatory process in patients with AF. Aim of this study is to assess changes in AFR, as an
This study focuses on the hygroscopic properties of submicrometer aerosol particles emitted from two small-scale district heating combustion plants (1 and 1.5 MW) burning two types of biomass fuels (moist forest residue and pellets). The hygroscopic particle diameter growth factor (Gf) was measured when taken from a dehydrated to a humidified state for particle diameters between 30 350 nm (dry siz
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
We have investigated the possibility of using the 2.45 GHz ISM band for communication between binaural hearing aids. The preliminary investigations were done by FDTD simulations on a modified SAM phantom head, where we have included a simple model of the ear canal. Two different types of hearing aid placements have been investigated: in the outer ear and in the ear canal. Antennas which have been
Studien syftar till att beräkna det gröna, blå och grå vattenfotavtrycket vid odling och produktion av höstvete och tre fallstudier av höstvete-produkter; drivmedelsetanol, kärnvetemjöl och makaroner. Beräkningarna har utförts för Sverige under perioden 2008-2010 och täcker ungefär 80 % av den svenska produktionen av höstvete under de berörda åren. Södra Sverige delades in i 18 klimatzoner för vilThis study attempts to calculate the green blue and gray water footprint of the crop production of winter wheat and three derived winter wheat products: liquid fuel ethanol, wheat flour and macaroni. The calculations were done for Sweden for the period 2008-2010, covering an average of 80% of the annual winter wheat production. The south of Sweden was divided into 18 climate zones for which suffic
Background. Pain is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and impairs quality of life. The King's PD pain questionnaire (KPPQ) is a standardized, reliable, and valid self-administered questionnaire for screening of pain in PD. We developed a linguistically validated German version of the KPPQ and applied it to a cohort with fluctuating PD. Methods. The interculturally adapted German translation was p
Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Stroke är en av de vanligaste folksjukdomarna i Sverige där 27 000 - 35 000 personer drabbas varje år. Stroke är ett samlingsnamn på vaskulära skador i hjärnan, vilka kan vara ischemiska eller till följd av blödning. En vanlig nedsättning hos personer drabbade av stroke är balansproblematik. Balansen är väsentlig för en självständig vardag och påverkar även den drabbades
Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe

The start-up company LEVTEK is launching a new ultralight electric utility vehicle called the LEVKART. The Levkart uses a combination of robotics and AI-technology to offer semi-autonomous or autonomous riding and usage. The purpose of the vehicle is to serve as an alternative to cargo bikes and electric scooters designed for easy usage and as a more sustainable option to fossil-based transport. T
The aim of this study is to better understand the goals and tasks of municipal activation workers, inquire into their perceived ability to establish their clients on the labor market, and examine their handling of hard-to-activate clients. The data was gathered through individual interviews with six activation workers who were all part of the same municipality. Four of them worked with youths and
För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where
Potatoes Solanum tuberosum, L are among the most consumed crop type by millions of people around the world. It has high amount of starch content and it is known to be a good source of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fiber. There are more than 4000 varieties of potatoes. Salome, Ditta and Asterix cultivars are among well-known potatoes in the Swedish market. In recent years the consumption of
Varför vill duvan hellre falla än flyga? Under lång tid använde vi endast vår kunskap om flygplan för att förstå hur fåglar, fladdermöss och insekter kan flyga. Detta trots det är tydligt att de stela flygplansvingarna inte liknar till exempel fladdermössens mjuka embranvingar särskilt mycket. Tänk bortom klassisk flygplansaerodynamik, och du kan lära dig mycket om alla de speciella flygtekniker ABSTRACT Among small to medium-sized birds, intermittent flight is a common behavior, where pauses are inserted between wingbeats. This is believed to have the effect of changing the power output without having to change the wingbeat frequency. Small birds often perform bounding flight, where the wings are completely folded against the body during pauses, while larger birds can be found to glide
