Environmental considerations, concerning the negative impacts of ship exhaust gases and particles on ambient air quality, are behind the requirements of cleaner marine fuels currently applied in designated emission control areas (ECAs). We investigated the impact of a ship operating on two types of fuel on the indoor air quality onboard. Gaseous and particulate air pollutants were measured in the
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations have risen by a factor of two or more across much of Europe and North America during recent decades. These increases have affected the carbon cycle, light regime, drinking water treatability, and the energy and nutrient budgets of lakes and streams. However, while trends in DOM quantity are well characterised, information on how/whether qualitative pro
Quality control of stabilized dredged sediment (DS) presents significant challenges due to its high-water content. Nowadays, many in-situ and laboratory tests have been used to evaluate the quality of treated DS, and the dominant method is 28-day unconfined compressive strength that can be done on undisturbed samples from the field and the laboratory. Due to the waiting period to get results from
Purpose: To analyse clinical characteristics and risk factors for post-operative endophthalmitis (POE) in a Swedish patient insurance database and compare prevalence of POE with two national quality registers. Methods: We analysed 218 medical records of patients who claimed compensation for POE following ocular surgery from 2010 to 2020. The data were cross-referenced with national quality registe
Quality requirements complement functional requirements with information on the target quality levels of software functions or emergent system quality aspects. In release planning the allocation of development effort in further investments into product enhancements, new or enhanced functions are competing with quality improvements for limited resources. When setting balanced quality targets for de
Spurred by the degraded forest in the 2022 Chongli Winter Olympic Games area, the Chinese government initiated a national program for mountain forest rehabilitation. We developed a method to assess the quality of mountain forests using an index system composed of stand structure, site conditions, and landscape aesthetics at three criteria levels. The method involves index weights determined by the
Sub-meter level spatial resolution remote sensing products are essential for Precision Agriculture (PA) applications. Recent development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with imaging sensors provides opportunity to generate sub-meter level, timely, and cloud free remote sensing products. This study is a preliminarily assessment of a multi-rotor UAV with consumer grade optical camera and five spect

Aims. To compare care recipients' and their relatives' perceptions of quality of care in nursing homes and home-based care. Background. Older people care is increasingly being provided in community care facilities and private homes instead of hospitals. A few studies have compared care recipients' and relatives' perceptions of care quality in nursing homes as opposed to home-based care. Design. Cr
Serious violence that is connected to gangs has escalated drastically in Sweden in the past years. I argue that understanding the values and attractions of joining a criminal gang are crucial in order to prevent further recruitment. In order to successfully reintegrate previous gang members, increased knowledge of the exit-process is needed. Hence, this thesis is based on interviews with eight def
Aims: It is increasingly recognized that tools are required for assessing and benchmarking quality of care in order to improve it. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is developing a suite of quality indicators (QIs) to evaluate cardiovascular care and support the delivery of evidence-based care. This paper describes the methodology used for their development. Methods and results: We propose
Previous work regarding the relationship between negative life events (NLEs) and survivors’ quality of life (QoL) post-disaster has commonly employed a variable-centered approach. Little is known about the roles of individual variance in time-varying changes of NLEs in future QoL. Moreover, whether sex modifies the impacts of NLEs trajectories on QoL is still understudied. We addressed these issue
Cerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia. In this work, we mainly studied the in vitro Abet
Yttrium-90 is a pure β-emitting radionuclide with a high energy (Emax = 2.28 MeV) and a short half-life (T½ = 64.1 h). It has shown to be a promising isotope to use in radio-immunotherapy. In the absence of direct photon emission scintillation camera imaging can be obtained by acquiring events from bremsstrahlung photons created at or near the decay site of the radionuclide. It is, however, not ev

The paper presents an analysis of context within which FAR, the Swedish professional association representing accountants has developed and revised the Code of Ethics from 1923 to 1995. The purpose is to enhance our understanding of the choices made as to what ethical rules were verbalized or codified and the motivations behind the codification. Building on Birkett and Evans’ (2005) model for orga
Purpose The early integration of oncology and palliative care (EIPC) improves quality of life (QOL) and mood for patients with advanced cancer. However, the mechanisms by which EIPC benefits these outcomes remain unclear. We therefore examined whether EIPC improved patients' coping strategies and if changes in coping accounted for intervention effects on QOL and depressive symptoms. Patients and M
