Research infrastructures play a key role in launching a new generation of integrated long-Term, geographically distributed observation programmes designed to monitor climate change, better understand its impacts on global ecosystems, and evaluate possible mitigation and adaptation strategies. The pan-European Integrated Carbon Observation System combines carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG; CO2, CH4, N

ABSTRACT: Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has the potential for low-cost andhigh-throughput nanoscale fabrication. However, the NIL quality and resolution areusually limited by the shape and size of the nanoimprint stamp features. Atomiclayer etching (ALE) can provide a damage-free pattern transfer with ultimate etchcontrol for features of all length scales, down to the atomic scale, and for all fea

User generated content (UGC) makes up a significant portion of Internet traffic. As opposed to other content, UGC has so far been left outside over-the-top providing network operators content distribution networks (telco-CDN) due to the difficulty in determining optimised placement of such content. The side effect of this is that UGC content is not placed close to end users and therefore occupy un

Mycobacteriophage endolysins have emerged as a potential alternative to the current antimycobacterial agents. This study focuses on mycolylarabinogalactan hydrolase (LysB) enzymes of the α/β-hydrolase family, which disrupt the unique mycolic acid layer of mycobacterium cell wall. Multiple sequence alignment and structural analysis studies showed LysB-D29, the only enzyme with a solved three-dimens

Scanning small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements were performed on 36 formalin-fixed reast tissue biopsies obtained from two patients. All samples contained microcalcifications of ype II, i.e. ormed by hydroxyapatite. We demonstrate the feasibility of classifying breast lesions by canning SAXS of issues containing microcalcifications with a resolution of 35 μm x30 μm. We eport a character

The art of living and the art of eating: Professor Linnaeus recommends. By Gunnar Broberg. As professor of medicine, Linnaeus taught dietetics. He followed the pattern outlined by Galen and Regimen salernitatis, adding an extensive material originating from general cultural history and his own experience.Early in his life he wrote Diaeta naturalis, a collection of rules focusing the blessings of n

This thesis emanates from the discursive gap between a medical discourse andexperience-driven knowledges in mental health aspects of hormonal contraceptives.The tensions and fractures between a medical discourse focusing on contraceptiveeffectiveness and largely refuting any significant adverse outcomes, and experiencebasednarratives of commonplace detrimental, or at least unwelcome and unpleasant

Purpose: To assess the extent of demyelination in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) using myelin water imaging (MWI) and electrophysiologic techniques.Methods: Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and MWI were acquired in 14 patients with CSM and 18 age-matched healthy controls. MWI was performed on a 3.0T whole body magnetic resonance scanner. Myelin water fraction (MWF) was extracted for

Gambling disorder can be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but treatment is under-dimensioned in many settings. For example, in Sweden, a setting with mixed responsibility for addiction treatment between health care and social services, treatment for gambling disorder has only recently been introduced in the responsibilities of public institutions. After the introduction of gambling

Solar energy is an important source of clean energy to combat climate change issues that motivate the establishment of solar farms. Establishing solar farms has been considered a proper alternative for energy production in countries like Mozambique, which need reliable and clean sources of energy for sustainable development. However, selecting proper sites for creating solar farms is a function of

Background Kenya is facing social and economic problems related to the high unemployment rate the country has suffered since independence. The Kenyan government are placing a lot, if not all, eggs in one basket and betting on entrepreneurship to solve these problem. For entrepreneurship to thrive there needs to be an ecosystem facilitating it and inherent in this ecosystem are support organisation

Stress är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till arbetsrelaterade besvär i Sverige. Under de senaste årtiondena har stora förändringar skett på arbetsmarknaden. Digitala lösningar har bidragit till ett mer gränslöst arbete där arbetstagarna arbetar under flexiblare former. Det flexibla arbetet kan leda till att konflikt mellan arbete och privatliv uppstår. Fastighetsmäklare är ett yrke som i hög grad Strain is one of the most common causes for work- related problems in Sweden. During the last decades, there have been chances on the labor market. Digital solutions have contributed to more boundaryless work where employees work with more flexibility, potentially leading to a conflict between work and personal life. Real estate agent is a profession that works under conditions that could be perce

Housing first has been introduced as a new method in the field of social work, aimed at homelessness in Sweden. The conventional way of tackling homelessness has made it difficult for people in homelessness to access and retain housing. In the hands of the social services, housing programs, has developed into becoming a tool of control and surveillance. As a new approach to the issue of homelessne

Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. FörThis project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow.

Nowadays, there is a tendency towards higher dynamics in markets and increasing competition especially in engineering and high tech industries. Firms today need to invent new products, acquire unique business models and thereby continuously exceed customer expectations as well as outperform competition. In contrast to the previous innovative approach that relied solely on internal capabilities, ma

Syftet med denna studie var att genom en kritisk diskursanalys utforska vilka diskurser som tar plats i kommunikationen hos svenska gymkedjor samt vilka sociala strukturer i relation till träning och fysisk aktivitet de bidrar till att skapa och/eller reproducera. Det insamlade materialet bestod av det visuella materialet på hemsidorna hos Sveriges fem största gymkedjor, vilket analyserades med hjThe purpose of this study was that through a critical discourse analysis investigate what discourses take place in the communication among Swedish gym facilities, and what social structures regarding physical activity they are currently creating and/or reproducing. The collected material consisted of the visual mate-rial presented on the webpages of the five larges gym facilities in Sweden. The ma

Syfte. I nuläget används narrativ bedömning begränsat i klinik. Syftet med uppsatsen var att bidra till att öka möjligheten till klinisk användning av Internal State Terms (IST) i språklig bedömning av narrativ förmåga. Syftet var också att bidra till tydliggörande av definitioner för de olika kategorierna av IST. Detta undersöktes genom att studera användningen av IST hos barn i förskoleåldern, sPurpose. The use of narrative assessment in clinical practice is limited. The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to the feasibility of using Internal State Terms (IST) when assessing narrative ability. In addition, we hoped to contribute to clearer definitions of the different categories of IST. Number of IST and types of IST used by preschool children were studied. The hypotheses were that
