We present an open source python based ray tracing tool that offers several useful features in graphical presentation, material properties, advanced calculations of synchrotron sources, implementation of diffractive and refractive elements, complex (also closed) surfaces and multiprocessing. The package has many usage examples which are supplied together with the code and visualized on its web pag

Purpose - The employment of continuous ribs in a passage involves a noticeable pressure drop penalty, while other studies have shown that truncated ribs may provide a potential to reduce the pressure drop while keeping a significant heat transfer enhancement. The purpose of this paper is to perform computer-aided simulations of turbulent flow and heat transfer of a rectangular cooling passage with

Online courses have become common in health sciences education. This learning environment can be designed using different approaches to support student learning. To further develop online environment, it is important to understand how students perceive working and learning online. The aim of this study is to identify aspects influencing students' learning processes and their adaptation to self-dir

The extent of remediation of contaminated industrial sites depends on spatial heterogeneity of contaminant concentration and spatially explicit risk characterization. We used sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) and indicator kriging (IK) to describe the spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pH, electric conductivity, particle aggregate distribution, water holding capaci

There is a growing need to understand how existing concepts and tools for sustainability relate to each other and to a robust, trans-disciplinary systems perspective for sustainability. As a response, a group of scientists, including some of the authors, have developed a framework based on backcasting from sustainability principles over the last 20 years the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Dev

We review Buchler and Colangelo's result that leading divergences at any loop order can be calculated using only one-loop calculations and we provide an alternative proof. We then use this method to calculate the leading divergences of and thus the leading logarithmic corrections to the meson mass in the massive $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma model to five-loop order. We also calculate the all-loop result

We extend our earlier work on the massive O(N) non-linear sigma model to other observables. We derive expressions at leading order in the large N expansion at all orders in the loop expansion for the decay constant, vacuum expectation value, meson meson scattering and the scalar and vector form factors. This is done using cactus diagram resummation using a generalized gap equation and other recurs

This article gives an overview of some ethical problems raised in connection to nutritional genomics, especially the use of knowledge from nutrigenomics as a basis for personalised nutrition after a genetic test.

I ett samhälle med ökad globalisering blir regler angående den internationella privat- och processrätten allt viktigare. Denna uppsats behandlar lagvalsregler, vilka går att finna i Romkonventionen. Romkonventionens huvudregel är lagvalsfrihet. Det finns dock bestämmelser i konventionen som inskränker denna möjlighet. Artikel 7 rörande internationellt tvingande regler är ett exempel på detta och ä

This report contains a description of the fire safety situation of Holmagården, which is a residence for elderly with special needs, in Svedala, Sweden. The purpose is to evaluate the personal safety in case of fire where concern has taken to the health status of the individuals at Holmagården. Three different fire scenarios have been the starting direction for modelling and calculating. To estima

We have recently described the immunosuppressive properties of AR-C117977 and AR-C122982, representatives of a group of compounds identified as inhibitors of lactate transporters (monocarboxylate transporters; MCTs). These compounds demonstrate the potential therapeutic usefulness of inhibiting MCT-1, but their physical and metabolic properties made them unsuitable for further development. We have

This chapter presents two case analyses, one situated in Sweden and the other in Poland, where attempts have been made to intervene in the existing laws regulating access to abortion. The first case involves the lawsuits filed by midwives in Sweden who claimed to have been discriminated against on the grounds of their religion when they had been turned down for work due to their objection to perfo

The as-built geometry and material properties of parts manufactured using Additive Manufacturing (AM) can differ significantly from the as-designed model and base material properties. These differences can be more pronounced in thin strut-like features (e.g., in a lattice structure), making it essential to incorporate them when designing for AM and predicting their structural behaviour. Therefore,

This paper considers the dual approach to conspiracy theories in anthropological studies. While some anthropologists suggest treating them seriously because they might reveal some truths, others argue that conspiracy theories require serious attention, because they are alarming and present a threat to social cohesion and democracy. Analysing conflicts over HPV immunisation programmes in Ireland, t

Att vara trans på olika sätt är ingen nödsituation och behöver inte vara dramatiskt. I stället för att enbart reagera i stunden kan politiker, rektorer, lärare, kuratorer, skolsköterskor och andra vuxna skapa en skola där färre spontana lösningar krävs eftersom det finns ett genomtänkt pedagogiskt och administrativt arbete, det som kallas ”whole-of-school approach” (Bartholomaeus & Riggs, 2017Being trans in different ways is not an emergency and does not have to be dramatic. Instead of reacting only in the moment, politicians, principals, teachers, counselors, nurses and other adults can create a school where fewer spontaneous solutions are needed because there is well thought-out pedagogical and administrative work, what is called the 'whole-of-school approach' (Bartholomaeus & Ri
