We present an adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the solution of porous media flow problems. The considered flows are immiscible and incompressible. The adaptive approach implemented allows for refinement/coarsening in both the element size and the polynomial degree. The method is evaluated using homogeneous and heterogeneous test cases.
This article examines the portrayal of bodily boundaries in the videogame series The Last of Us. Drawing on theories of media ecology and posthumanism (most notably Deer’s notion of radical animism, Haraway’s theories of the cyborg, and Fuller’s account of media assemblages), three aspects of this portrayal are described: first, the game’s narrativization of bodily violence through an amalgamation
Background: A neuroinflammatory response that may lead to edema and secondary brain damage is elicited in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies using microdialysis (MD) membranes with 100 k Dalton (kDa) cut-off found a transient intracerebral release of cytokines and chemokines without significant correlations to clinical course, intracranial pressure (ICP) or metabolites. In this
Within international investment law scholarship, increased attention has been devoted to the capacity of international investment law, which includes investment treaty arbitration, to facilitate sustainable development. Scholars increasingly agree that issues of sustainable development permeate throughout the international investment law system and thus cannot be viewed as beyond its scope and jur
Around 20 % of all electrical energy goes to lighting. There is a strong need to make this figure lower. Our research group has for more than a decade worked with the problem how to reduce the energy use for lighting, but at the same time provide better lighting conditions to meet human needs. The work comprises both laboratory studies and field studies. Two different tracks have been used: One th
Fuel and load flexibility have been increasingly important features of industrial gas turbines in order to meet the demand for increased utilization of renewable fuels and to provide a way to balance the grid fluctuations due to the unsteady supply of wind and solar power. Experimental investigations were performed using a standard 3rd generation dry low emission (DLE) burner under atmospheric pre
Palliative care was initially developed for patients with a cancer diagnosis and severe symptoms. Despite the ambition to broaden the palliative care approach to include other groups, patients with cancer are still a majority in specialised palliative care. The broader view and development of palliative care has led to an intense debate on existing definitions. Following a request from The Lancet
OBJECTIVES: The overall aim of this study is to gain greater knowledge about the risk of suicide among suicide attempters in a very long-term perspective. Specifically, to investigate possible differences in clinical risk factors at short (≤5 years) versus long term (>5 years), with the hypothesis that risk factors differ in the shorter and longer perspective. DESIGN: Prospective study with regist
The additional passing lanes and 2+1 roads improve significant road safety. Studies indicate sections with additional passing lanes (relief or alternately), which may cause reduction in the number of accidents by 50%. However, how geometric design affects the safety performance of such sections is not in depth investigated. Previous studies are carried out with two approaches, i.e. the most often,
Goda kamrater, ett antal buteljer punsch, en droska, och en likkista av barnmodell – vad är det värsta som kan hända? I lundastudenten Carl Lindells fall slutade det riktigt illa, med både tidningsskriverier och rektorsförhör. Arkivarien vid universitetsarkivet Henrik Ullstad berättar historien om en Malmöutflykt på 1880-talet som tog en ände med förskräckelse.Good companions, numerous bottles of punsch, a carriage and a child-sized coffin – what could possibly go wrong? In the case of Lund student Carl Lindell, it all went horribly wrong, with stories in the newspapers and being taken before the vice-chancellor. University Library archivist, Henrik Ullstad, tells the story of a Malmö excursion in the 1880s that came to an alarming end.
INTRODUCTION: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are designed to improve the "chain of prevention" of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). We studied the 30-day survival of patients reviewed by RRTs within 24 hours prior to IHCA, as compared to patients not reviewed by RRTs.METHODS: A nationwide cohort study based on the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, between January 1st, 2014, and Dece
Lilli Zickerman (1858–1949) was an entrepreneur who took part in organising the Swedish handicraft associations in the late 19th century. She was also a pioneer in the archives and active in the feminine sphere of textile handicraft. From 1914–1931 she conducted a huge inventory called Swedish Folk Textile Art that consists of more than 24,000 photographs and descriptions of vernacular textiles an
OBJECTIVE Degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a major cause of spinal cord dysfunction with an unpredictable prognosis. Βiomarkers reflecting pathophysiological processes in CSM have been insufficiently investigated. It was hypothesized that preoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker levels are altered in patients with CSM and correlate with neurological status and outcome.
Analyzes research and innovation in the European Union against the backdrop of the COVID pandemic, Brexit, global challenges and a changing international landscape.
Microbial stoichiometry has become a key aspect in ecological research as shifts in microbial C:N, C:P and N:P ratios upon nutrient addition are presumed to give insight into relative nutrient limitations for soil microorganisms–with far-reaching implications for biogeochemical processes. However, this expectation has never been tested against direct methods of microbial growth responses to nutrie
