Vombsjön är en sjö belägen I sydvästra Skåne som fyller en viktig roll som dricksvattenreservoar. Sjöns avrinningsområde består till ca 70% av jordbruksmark vilket har medfört långvarig påverkan på vattenkvaliteten från lokalt näringsläckage. I dagsläget finns ingen lokalt anpassad förvaltningsplan för Vombsjön utan den förvaltas utifrån den regionala förvaltningsplan som gäller för hela SödrLake Vomb is situated in the southwest of Skåne, Sweden, and is important due to its role as drinking water reservoir. The lake is situated in highly cultivated farmland and is highly influenced by nutrient rich run-off water. There is no locally adapted water management plan for lake Vomb and the lake is currently managed under a regional water management plan which covers the entire Southern B

A voluntary EU law was implemented in 2022, which allowed communicative services to monitor all sent messages on their platforms in search of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. Its proposed successor, infamously called ‘Chat Control 2.0’, expanded these ideas further, demanding communicative services to monitor all sent messages and stored emails in search of CSAM. As the discussions of th

Background: Kigali, Rwanda’s rapidly growing capital, faces major challenges in household-level Fecal Sludge Management (FSM), with over 89% of households using pit latrines and only 48% accessing unshared sanitation. FSM services are limited, costly, and poorly executed, leading to frequent illegal dumping. Objective: This review analyzes the literature on sanitation in Kigali to identify key gap

Automation apps enable seamless connection of IoT devices and services to provide useful functionality for end-users. Apps are typically executed on cloud-based Trigger-Action Platforms (TAPs) such as IFTTT and Node-RED, supporting both single- and multi-tenant models. Such models raise security and privacy concerns in the face of cloud attackers and malicious app makers, resulting in massive and

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP), the world’s largest water transfer initiative, is designed to address northern China’s acute water scarcity by diverting approximately 45 km3 of water annually from the south through three major routes, with completion targeted for 2050. This review demonstrates that the SNWDP has already improved water security for over 150 million people, stabi

In recent years, there has been an increasingly larger fraction of intermittent energy sources. In the northern parts of Europe, the main source of intermittent power is wind power. This source of power is low inertia, inconsistent and will always fluctuate with different magnitudes, leaving a need for balancing. One source of balancing is to have the widespread non-zero inertia combined heat and

We address the social sustainability dimension of labor-intensive industrialization (LII) and manufacturing activities and apply it to the analysis of Mauritius, a regional forerunner in textile and garment production. While the country is commonly seen as an African success story, we do not evaluate its trajectory against traditional economic theory on achieving sustained growth. Instead, we anal

Recent evidence suggests that the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene product BRCA1 is involved in at least two fundamental cellular processes: transcriptional regulation and DNA repair. However, the mechanism of action of BRCA1 in either of these processes is still unknown. Here, we report the characterization of a disease-predisposing allele of BRCA1, identified in a family with severa

A Swedish/Norwegian head and neck cancer study was designed to assess prospectively the levels of mental distress and psychiatric morbidity in a heterogeneous sample of newly diagnosed head and neck cancer patients. A total of 357 patients were included. The mean age was 63 years, and 72% were males. The patients were asked to answer the HAD scale (the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale) six ti

Benefiting from their ordered orientation and superior stability compared to traditional conjugated materials, hydrogen bonding (HB)-induced H-aggregates in organic small molecule hole-transport materials (HTMs) hold a big potential for high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). However, H-aggregates can also lead to excessive face-aggregation by forming the gaps between aggregates,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet har varit att studera tillämpningen av ventilation i skolbyggnader. Huvuddelen av avhandlingen behandlar vädring av klassrum. Analytiska modeller med vilka luftutbytet orsakat av vädring kan beräknas föreslås. Ett mål är att modellerna skall utgöra ett verktyg för projektörer och brukare. Modellerna skall kunna användas när man vill bestämma tidslängden för vädriThe objective of this thesis is to study the application of ventilation in schools buildings. A number of studies of the application of different forms of ventilation are presented. The main part of the thesis focuses on window opening in a classroom. Analytical models for calculation of the air change caused by window airing are proposed. The models are intended to be a tool for designers and occ

The field of general-purpose robotics has recently embraced powerful probabilistic diffusion-based models to learn the complex embodiment behaviours. However, existing models often come with significant trade-offs, namely high computational costs for inference and a fundamental inability to quantify output uncertainty. We introduce Normalizing Flows Policy (NF-P), a conditional normalizing flow-ba

Popular Abstract in English The work presented here is about methods that will enable more precise estimates of soil and rock parameters related to seismic hazard mapping, in particular when resources are limited. This will allow for evaluating the seismic risk in countries where earthquakes are frequent and large budgets are not available. Particularly, the study of ground response due to the eneIn sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. In common practice the active MASW method is implemented using a sledgehammer source and a linear receiver spread. This method is lim

The Internet offers a plethora of venues for autobiographical self-representation: webcams, personal websites, blogs. There is much research on self-representation online, whereas very little research has focused on the consumption of online self-representation. This article focuses on the act of reading diary blogs. Who are the actual readers of a specific blog and what values do they place on th

BACKGROUND: To describe the frequency, in some European populations, of the World Health Organisation (WHO) defined metabolic syndrome and to compare the frequency of this syndrome with an alternative definition for non-diabetic subjects, called the insulin resistance syndrome proposed by the European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance (EGIR). METHODS: Investigators of eight European studie

The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register is dependent on the participating clinics regarding accuracy of information. As the register is prospective, and since revision is used as the endpoint in survival analyses, it is important that all revisions of registered primary arthroplasties are reported. To validate the register, we sent a questionnaire to all living patients with 30,796 knees registered
