Ozonation transformation products (OTPs) are largely unknown compounds that are formed during the ozonation of micropollutants, and it is uncertain to which extent these compounds can be removed by subsequent adsorption to activated carbon. Thus, 14C-labeled micropollutants were ozonated to generate 14C-labeled OTPs, for which the adsorption of the sum of all 14C-labeled OTPs to activated carbon c

Background Bothgenetic and lifestyle factors contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes, but the extent to which there is a synergistic effect of the 2 factors is unclear.

IntroductionPrevious studies show that approximately 40% of hospital readmissions in older adults are medication-related and that about 70% of these could be prevented. A risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults at increased risk of medication-related readmission could help maximize the impact of implemented preventive measures and save healthcare resources. In this study we made furth

With the current climate crisis, it is time to reframe our understanding of active mobility as a solution for short journeys only. When combined with public transport, almost any journey can be an active one. To compete with private automobile travel, public transport must combine the speed of motorised transport, the reliability of dedicated right-of-way services, and the flexibility of active tr

Consolidation of dwellings in self-help settlements is directly dependent on the generation of surplus resources beyond that required for subsistence. A significant proportion of households in such settlements are reliant on income generated within the home for household subsistence as well as to finance the construction of the dwelling itself. There is therefore a close interrelationship between

The driving data of all equipped vehicles were logged with regard to time and speed, both before and after activating the system. Driv

BACKGROUND: Long commutes by car are stressful. Most research studying health effects of commuting have summarized cross-sectional data for large regions. This study investigated whether the levels of stress and individual characteristics among 30–60 min car commuters were similar across different places within the county of Scania, Sweden, and if there were changes over time. METHODS: The study p

Slår bekämpningsmedel ut vilda bin? Vi människor och andra djur är beroende av växter för att kunna leva. Från dem får vi mycket av vår mat och andra produkter som vi behöver i vardagen. De flesta växter är i sin tur beroende av pollinering för att kunna sätta frukt och reproducera sig. Bin är exempel på insekter som är väldigt viktiga pollinatörer. De står för ca 80 procent av all insektspolline

This paper evaluates whether a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach can be implemented, on the Swedish stock market, to optimize a portfolio. The objective is to create and train two DRL algorithms that can construct portfolios that will be benchmarked against the market portfolio, tracking OMXS30, and the two conventional methods, the naive portfolio, and minimum variance portfolio. We eval
