In the present work the feasibility of using various optical/laser based techniques for characterization of the afterburner of a full-size aircraft engine have been investigated. The tests have been performed on-site at Volvo Aero Corporation and were mainly directed towards surface thermometry using thermographic phosphors and fuel visualization. All applications were studied for different engine

Purpose Children living with respiratory support rely on medical technology, either fully or partially, throughout the day to meet their breathing requirements. Although children and young people living with respiratory support at home undergo long-term treatments and make extensive use of health and social care services, there is a notable absence of comprehensive outcome data on this group. The

Technology of 3D printing is opening the possibility for small-scale production in quantities between ten and several hundred pieces. The technology of adding material enables the production of complex and integrated functional concepts in a single-pass process, which consequently potentially reduces the need for assembly operations. Design approaches and manufacturing processing are not mastered

Objectives Critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at an increased risk of acquiring bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI). We aimed to describe patient characteristics, risk factors, and the microbiological spectrum in blood cultures and evaluate the impact of ICU-acquired BSI on outcomes in a Nordic setting. Methods A prospective multicenter cohort study w

This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali

Hydroxyl radicals (HO•), produced through reactions between H2O2 and iron oxides, drive biogeochemical transformations, mediate organism toxicity, and facilitate advanced oxidation processes. The effectiveness of these processes depends on the spatial proximity between HO• generation and target substrates. Consequently, the oxidation mechanisms should be governed by interfacial interactions among

Accurate and continuous monitoring of inland surface‌ water dynamics is vital for sustainable water resource management, climate impact assessment, and ecological planning. This study introduces a machine learning-based remote sensing-based data-fusion framework that improves Sentinel-3 radar altimeter (SRAL) estimations of water surface elevation (WSE) by integrating ERA5 reanalysis climate varia

Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism. To date, a method to locate fluorescence reporters on the cryofracture has not been reporte

Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. A complementary test to discriminate between symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and ABU is needed, as diagnostic uncertainty is likely to generate significant antibiotic overtreatment. Previous studies indicate that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in

Background: To expand our clinical and scientific knowledge about holistic outcomes within palliative care, there is a need for agreed-upon patient-reported outcome measures. These patient-reported outcome measures then require translation and cultural adaptation, either from country-specific languages to English, or the other way around. The aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally

This paper describes preliminary results from the test-retest of the NAME 1.0. Four scales were tested: Mobility-related participation frequency; Mobility ease/difficulty; Mobility dependence; Extent of assistance in mobility. The test was conducted in the five Nordic countries. In all 147 mobility device users took part in the study, mean age 60 years (range 19 - 93). Each participant was intervi

As travellers, we are usually aware that a map is not the territory it represents. However, as researchers, inquiring into practice, are we always aware of the domain within which that practice is situated? Descriptions of practice sometimes suggest that this is not the case. For example, do engineers actually believe that the models they develop and use are reflections of some reality? It is like

The particle size distribution in 11 different dwellings was studied during 5-7 days, samples being taken every 15 min. Large variation in the aerosol concentration has been found. Also the size distribution of the aerosol varies depending on the level of activity in the home, e.g. smoking and cooking. The average area median diameter found in the dwellings was 0.2 ,am. A technique for the measure
