The reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(II1) complexes Au(NH,)?+, rrans-Au- (NH,)zC12t, and rrans-A~(NH,)~Br~+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(1) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH,)?+ and thiocThe reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(III) complexes Au(NH3)43+, trans-Au(NH3)2C12+, and trans-Au(NH3)2Br2+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry.

Microalgal range expansions are increasing in frequency and magnitude worldwide mostly due to anthropogenic factors. However, they often remain unnoticed until mass development (algal blooms) occurs due to difficulties in detection when population densities are low. However, population genetic methods offer an approach to investigate these patterns. One such potentially expanding bloom-forming spe

BackgroundSevere perineal trauma (SPT) affecting the anal sphincter muscle complex is a serious complication following childbirth, associated with short-term and long-term maternal morbidity. Effective preventive strategies are still scarce. The aim of the Oneplus trial was to test the hypothesis that the presence of a second midwife during the second stage of labour, with the purpose of preventin

Background. A once commonly held belief was that surgery is too complicated, too expensive, and too ineffectively addressing a too minor proportion of the burden of disease to deserve priority in a setting of scarce healthcare resources in low- and middle-income countries. Yet, essential surgical care can be as highly cost-effective as other common public health interventions, and surgical service

Background: Poor housing conditions, such as poor building materials and weak structures as well as high levels of indoor air pollution, are important risk factors for a broad range of diseases, including acute respiratory infections (ARI). In mining areas, research on the determinants of respiratory health predominantly focuses on exposures to outdoor air pollutants deriving from mining operation

There is increasing evidence that fermentation in the large intestine is important for health, and that health-promoting effects are mediated by fermentation products such as butyric and propionic acid. As the formation of carboxylic acids (CAs) from various carbohydrates reaching the colon has been shown to vary, it is of great interest to identify food factors that could be of importance to this

This paper presents the results of the 2022 Groundwater Time Series Modelling Challenge, where 15 teams from different institutes applied various data-driven models to simulate hydraulic-head time series at four monitoring wells. Three of the wells were located in Europe and one was located in the USA in different hydrogeological settings in temperate, continental, or subarctic climates. Participa

Hand amputation results in the loss of motor and sensory functions, impacting activities of daily life and quality of life. Commercially available prosthetic hands restore the motor function but lack sensory feedback, which is crucial to receive information about the prosthesis state in real-time when interacting with the external environment. As a supplement to the missing sensory feedback, the a

Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) we have studied the flux line lattices of the first heavy-fermion superconductor to be discovered, CeCu2Si2, the well-known high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, along with Ca-doped variants of this compound, and several topological superconductor candidates that have attracted a lot of attention in the last few years, such as PbTaSe2, Au2Pb and β-B

Hjärtstopp inträffar när hjärtat plötsligt slutar slå och är ett livshotande tillstånd. Av personer som drabbas av hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus överlever endast en av tio fram till utskrivning från sjukhuset. Hjärnan har en hög ämnesomsättning och små energidepåer. Därför är hjärnan extra känslig för effekterna av ett hjärtstopp. När hjärtat slutar slå och blodet inte kan cirkulera i kroppen riskeraBackground: The brain is susceptible to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in conjuction with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Cognitive impairments are documented in about half of all OHCA survivors, however with a pronounced heterogeneity in measurements and findings. More detailed studies and instruments that are sensitive to OHCA-related cognitive impairment, including predictive models to id

Land-use change is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Through intensification of land-use, the agricultural landscape has become more homogenous and a result, many species associated with traditional farmland or other semi-natural open habitats have declined. To be able to improve biodiversity conservation we need to be able to track components of biodiversity and understand how they res

Uppsatsen undersöker EU-medlemsstaternas skyldigheter i samband med klassificering av särskilda skydds- och bevarandeområden enligt fågelskydds- respektive habitatdirektivet. Direktivens främsta mål är att skapa ett sammanhängande ekologiskt nätverk, Natura 2000. Uppsatsen har visat att medlemsstaterna endast får beakta ornitologiska kriterier när de föreslår områden som ska beredas skydd enligt fThis paper examines the EU Member States’ obligations in connection with the designation of special protection areas and special areas of conservation under the Wild Birds- and the Habitats Directive. The primary objective of the directives is to create a coherent ecological network of protected areas, Natura 2000. The paper demonstrates that Member States may consider only ornithological criteria

In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Deponier (soptippar) har förändrats kraftigt de senaste decennierna. Detta beror främst på ändrad lagstiftning vilken i sin tur till stor del bygger på en önskan att skydda miljön. Dock har lag¬stiftningen implementerats utan riktig kännedom om dess konsekvenser för utsläppen från deponier på lång sikt. För att öka förståelsen för konsekvenserna genomfördes det forskninWaste management in Europe has changed, mainly as a result of stricter regulations, most notably the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. In Sweden, landfill tax and a ban on the landfilling of waste with total organic carbon content over 10 % have diverted large amounts of waste from landfills. The biogeochemistry of landfills has changed due to their reduced organic content. The research pres

This Master’s thesis is performed on behalf of Alfa Laval, a multinational company providing technological products and services.
Alfa Laval has in the past had a lot of successful mergers, but there were also those cases that led to sell off and those that had potential to add more value than was actually realized. In the common case, it has been shown that 60-70 per cent of M&As fall sho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att belysa det kvinnliga initiativet i den samhällsutveckling som accelererade kring slutet av 1800-talet och så småningom kom att leda fram till det moderna, demokratiska s k välfärdssamhället. Metoden är att i en livsverksbiografi lyfta fram en av tidens aktörer, nämligen professorskan Agda Montelius. Hon kan ses som en representant dels förThe purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the role of female initiative in the accelerating social developments of the late nineteenth century that were eventually to result in Sweden’s modern, democratic welfare state. The method is a biographical study that highlights one of the leading figures of the day, Agda Montelius. She may be seen as representative not only of those middle and upper

Since publication of the 1998 UNEP Assessment, there has been continued rapid expansion of the literature on UV-B radiation. Many measurements have demonstrated the inverse relationship between column ozone amount and UV radiation, and in a few cases long-term increases due to ozone decreases have been identified. The quantity, quality and availability of ground-based UV measurements relevant to a
