European forests have served as a critical carbon sink, absorbing approximately 10% of annual anthropogenic CO₂ emissions in the EU, as a result of both increased forest area and growing stock since 1950. However, this sink has declined by one-third over the past decade, based on the EU National Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This decline has been proposed to be due to multiple interacting factors: cli
Introduction: Traumatic axonal injury (TAI), often caused by rapid rotational forces and high-energy accidents, is common in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The intracranial pressure (ICP) dynamics are often unpredictable, and the need for ICP monitoring remains debated. Research question: What is the incidence of ICP elevation in patients with TAI, and how often is escalated ICP-lowering tr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje vecka firar ett stort antal människor gudstjänst i Svenska kyrkan. Vid varje enskild gudstjänst bildas en sorts gemenskap. Men vad är egentligen en gudstjänstgemenskap, hur kan den förstås sociologiskt och teologiskt, vilken ställning har den i Svenska kyrkan och vilken ställning borde den ha? Gudstjänstgemenskaper i Svenska kyrkan i dag kan beskrivas som öppna, iThe dissertation examines the theoretical identity and formal status of a worship community within the Church of Sweden. Two theoretical perspectives form the basis of the investigation. The first is that the identity of the church cannot be reduced to an abstract idea of its essential nature, but what is said about the church must refer to the actual people who belong to it, especially those who
The Journal of Water Management and Research (Vatten) celebrates 2019 its 75th anniversary with a special issue, republishing one article per decade from 1940 to 2010. In the present article, we summarize the development of Swedish water research and management based upon the material published in the journal. We read all issues of the journal, noting important trends, percentage of female authors
Soundscape management in a city implies mitigating harmful sounds and promoting useful ones, according to their environmental, social or cultural significance and considering a more human centered paradigm. The Soundscape approach does not consider sound as a waste but a resource and its application may reach more benefits than solely noise control actions. This conception conveys an emerging para
Detection and classification of distresses is a fundamental activity in the road pavement management. Even in the early stages of deterioration, road pavement needs to be monitored to identify problems, evaluating the actual conditions and predicting what the future conditions will be. Monitoring activities through manual/visual inspections are time consuming, costly and cause of safety concerns.
The requirements on increasing functionality, quality, and, customisation, while reducing cost has lead to the introduction of an architecture centred development process for electronic systems at Volvo Cars. This process enables better control of system integration and achieving non-functional requirements, such as reusability, understandability, etc. The result of the process is a reference arch
From the ultraviolet induced absorption, we have found a broad blue band and little involvement of Pr ions in ultraviolet illumination. Ultraviolet excited photoluminescence and the excitation spectra for visible emission were also measured in Pr:LiNbO3. We estimated photovoltaic constant and photoconductivity by measuring photovoltaic current and voltage with different boundary conditions. With u
The somatotype is a useful method in the analysis of body morphology but no study has identified genetic variants associated with its components. The aim of this study is o replicate the association of 21 SNPs with obesity and to explore their association with the somatotype components, in a sample from the Basque Country (Spain). A case-control study was performed in 472 adults from 18 to 79 year
Purpose: After resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), renal injury and hemodynamic instability are common. We aimed to assess the association between low cardiac output during targeted temperature management (TTM) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after OHCA. Materials and methods: Single-center substudy of 171 patients included in the prospective, randomized TTM-trial. Hemodynamic
The sharing of digital information between phases in the planning and building process still have shortcomings. Ourstudy is performed as a test case on a construction project in a municipality and focuses on two aspects of how the sharing of building information could be improved: 1) to get a more process oriented approach to the information flow. Here we will test if the ISO-standard Product Lif
Artikeln återger författarens föreläsning vid installationen som professor i offentlig rätt vid juridiska fakulteten vid Lunds universitet i oktober 2018. Föreläsningen uppmärksammar de indelningar och specialiseringar som förekommer i juridiken,och då särskild offentlig rätt. Avsikten är att uppmärksamma frågan varför man överhuvudtaget ska tala om offentlig rätt och varför man ska ägna sig åt de
Endotherms in cold regions improve heat-producing capacity when preparing for winter. We know comparatively little about how this change is fueled by seasonal adaptation in cellular respiration. Thus, we studied the changes of mitochondrial function in red blood cells in sympatric Coal (Periparus ater), Blue (Cyanistes caeruleus), and Great (Parus major) tits between autumn and winter. These speci
Iran’s newly appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Quds Force, Muhammad Reza Fallahzadeh, is not only an experienced military man but also a politician with diplomatic experience. He is a vital asset for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which wants to see its own man elected president in the June elections.
Analyzes research and innovation in the European Union against the backdrop of the COVID pandemic, Brexit, global challenges and a changing international landscape.
OBJECTIVE: The microenvironment of colon cancer (CC) is heterogeneous including cells of myeloid lineage affecting tumor growth and metastasis. Two functional subtypes of myeloid cells have been identified; one (M1) is tumor-inhibitory and the other one (M2) is tumor-promoting. Whether the three myeloid markers EMR1, CD206 and CD86 are expressed only in the infiltrating myeloid cells or also in th
BACKGROUND: The frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) related complications in hematological patients has previously been studied but some uncertainty remains. Therefore, this observational cohort study was designed primarily to investigate mechanical and infectious complications related to CVC insertion in hematological patients and secondarily, to identify factors associated with these comp
BACKGROUND: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived pro-inflammatory protein, an inducer of endothelial dysfunction and vascular permeability and a promising prognostic biomarker in sepsis. This exploratory study aims to describe the kinetics of plasma HBP during septic shock and investigate an association between repeated measures of HBP concentration and cardiovascular organ dysfun
Kursbok om Alternativ och Kompletterande Kommunikation (AKK), med fokus på kommunikationshjälpmedel, praktiska metoder och förhållningssätt. Boken ingår i ett kursmaterial i tre delar, för utbildning av personliga assistenter och andra som arbetar och lever nära ungdomar och vuxna med omfattande kommunikationssvårigheter på grund av funktionsnedsättning.
