Ammonia (NH3) has recently emerged as a promising carbon-free energy carrier. Further development and application of NH3 as fuel in the gas turbine industry can significantly reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and contribute to the achievement of a carbon–neutral society. This study experimentally examined the thermoacoustic instability characteristics of a laboratory-scaled lean premixe

Pain, and disabilities after neuroma surgery, using patient reported outcome measurements (PROMs), were evaluated by QuickDASH and a specific Hand Questionnaire (HQ-8). The 69 responding individuals (response rate 61%; 59% women; 41% men; median follow up 51 months) reported high QuickDASH score, pain on load, cold sensitivity, ability to perform daily activities and sleeping difficulties. Individ

Transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water has a negative impact on oxygen concentration in coastal areas. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of catchment composition on the bioavailability of allochthonous carbon is lacking. In this project we address this knowledge gap by investigating the reactivity of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at river

Psychodermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that is of increasing interest to dermatologists and patients. The case for the provision of at least regional psychodermatology services across Europe is robust. Psychodermatology services have been shown to have better, quicker and more cost-efficient clinical outcomes for patients with psychodermatological conditions. Despite this, psychodermat

Background: Cognitive deficits are common and disabling residual symptoms following major depressive disorder (MDD) and are related to increased risk of relapse. Residual cognitive deficits should thus be considered an important target for treatment. However, few have reported long-term outcomes of interventions targeting residual cognitive deficits. Objective: This study aimed to (1) investigate

The Paris agreement on climate change requires rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. One important mitigation strategy, at least in the intermediate future, is the substitution of fossil fuels with bioenergy. However, using agriculture- and forest-derived biomass for energy has sparked controversy regarding both the climate mitigation potential and conflicts with biodiversity conservation.

Long-read sequencing offers a great improvement in the assembly of complex genomic regions, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, which can contain both tandemly duplicated MHC genes (paralogs) and high repeat content. The MHC genes have expanded in passerine birds, resulting in numerous MHC paralogs, with relatively high sequence similarity, making the assembly of the MHC reg

This book presents gender and diversity in smart transport as a cutting-edge issue in urban contexts around the globe. It addresses new challenges and possibilities related to the smart transport sector. It demonstrates how gender and diversity are entangled in concepts and various forms of current smart mobility practices in policy, planning, and innovation. Gender Smart Mobility is presented as

Background: Visual acuity (VA) and visual field defects (VF) are evaluated in the preoperative management of non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). The former is less studied than the latter. Research question: To analyze preoperative factors, including adenoma volumetry, associated with reduced VA and postoperative improvement of VA over five years after surgery. Methods: Eighty-seven patients

Purpose: To explore hypertension management in primary healthcare (PHC). Design: Structured interviews of randomly selected PHC centres (PHCCs) from December 2019 to January 2021. Setting: Seventy-six PHCCs in eight regions of Sweden. Main outcome measures: Staffing and organization of hypertension care. Methods of measuring blood pressure (BP), laboratory tests, registration of co-morbidities and

In this paper, we demonstrate the coupling of synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to asymmetrical flow-field flow fractionation (AF4) for protein characterization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time AF4 is successfully coupled to a synchrotron for on-line measurements on proteins. This coupling has potentially high impact, as it opens the possibility to characterize i

European regions are currently confronted with significant challenges stemming from the green transition and technological disruption. These challenges impose growing pressure on regions to restructure their economies and transition towards more sustainable and innovative modes of production. While the existing literature extensively addresses regional transformation, less attention has been devot

Recent studies of selective auditory attention have demonstrated that neural responses recorded with electroencephalogram (EEG) can be decoded to classify the attended talker in everyday multitalker cocktail-party environments. This is generally referred to as the auditory attention decoding (AAD) and could lead to a breakthrough for the next-generation of hearing aids (HAs) to have the ability to

Introduction: People living with acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) may be treated with injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), administered by either a caregiver or as self-injection via a proprietary or generic device. Injection device attributes that contribute to ease of use and storage, minimise preparation requirements, and reduce injection pain are associated with improve

If the Anthropocene marks a changed way of being in the world resulting from the integration of human activity and geological processes, a main question is how this situation may be aesthetically represented and with what implications. This article sketches an aesthetics of the Anthropocene by analyzing artistic engagements with advanced tools of visual calculation used in the context of the envir

Why are Nordic sociologists not providing diagnoses of society these days? What has happened to our desire to describe the wider sociocultural currents of the world we live in? Where indeed are the present-day Danish Sennett, the Finnish Rosa, or the Swedish Bauman? These questions resurface now and again, yet without gaining substantial traction. Even so, present-day Nordic sociology is in many w
