In the first national human biomonitoring study in the Slovenian population of adults (18–49 years), including men (n = 297) and lactating primiparous women (n = 304), exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was evaluated. Nine urinary metabolites of four parent PAHs were determined. These included 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHPYR), 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-OHNAP), 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OHPH
Background: Respiratory symptoms are common in the general adult population. Increased burden of respiratory symptoms may increase the risk of mortality. We assessed the association between respiratory symptom clusters and mortality. Methods: Participants were derived from two population-based Swedish adult cohorts (N = 63,060).

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are the most promising strategy for reducing the carbon emissions of aviation in the near term, but their combustion behavior is not well understood compared to conventional fuels. This work investigates how different properties of SAF may lead to different emergent combustion behavior by targeting a small set of very distinct fuels. The investigation is carried ou
Inflammation and insulin resistance are associated with increased mortality in the general population. However, it remains unclear how physical activity and proinflammatory/hyperinsulinemic diets influence overall survival in prostate cancer patients.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most economically important Allium crop. The commercial cycle of onion starts with the harvest and expect for the bulbs a conservation in bulks or in storage area at controlled temperature and relative humidity. The storage period need a particular attention because coincides with the dormancy period, when plants stop their growth, so it is very important to prolong t
Architecture and space in the scale of a family house can be about rounded shapes interplaying with straight lines and light. In today’s newly built houses in Sweden I sense a lack of variety in combinations of these elements. This project therefore aims to experiment with rounded shapes and straight lines together with light. A collection of the explorations act as the base to draw a house. A vil
The Permian - Triassic boundary of the Çürük daǧsection (Taurus, Antalya Nappes, Turkey) was sampled for ostracodes. 38 species belonging to 22 genera were discovered.

Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma
