Characterisation of single-phase fluid-flow heterogeneity due to localised deformation in a porous rock using rapid neutron tomography
The behaviour of subsurface-reservoir porous rocks is a central topic in the resource engineering industry and has relevant applications in hydrocarbon, water production, and CO2 sequestration. One of the key open issues is the effect of deformation on the hydraulic properties of the host rock and, specifically, in saturated environments. This paper presents a novel full-field data set describing
Effect of welding fumes on the cardiovascular system : a six-year longitudinal study
Objective This study investigated whether low-to-moderate exposure to welding fumes is associated with adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.Methods To test this, we performed a longitudinal analysis of 78 mild steel welders and 96 controls; these subjects were examined twice, six years apart (ie, timepoints 1 and 2). All subjects (male and non-smoking at recruitment) completed questionnair
Objective, subjective, and conscious cross-linguistic similarity as predictors of intentionality in lexical transfer
The study tested vocabulary acquisition of a pseudo-language in Swedish–English bilinguals. A computerized paired-associate learning task was used to teach form-meaning mappings. A learning assessment task was administered after each block. The primary research question was whether subjective typology measures predict conscious and unconscious performance in post-learning outcomes.
Hovrättens möbler och andra betydelsefulla saker
På Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge finns flera möbler och föremål som funnits och använts sedan 1800-talet. Vi lät docenterna Martin Sunnqvist och Linda Fagerström ta en titt på några saker som de tycker är intressanta att berätta mer om.Filmen är en del av hovrättens 200-årsjubileum som firas från maj 2021 till maj 2022. Mer information finns på hovrättens webbplats: www.domstol.se/jubileumsare
AI i offentlig sektor : Från etiska riktlinjer till lagstiftning
Användningen av artificiell intelligens (AI), det vill säga en rad primärt databeroende metoder och teknologier för bland annat prediktion och automation, tycks bidra till en omvälvande period i den offentliga förvaltningen. Detta skifte föranleder ett styrningsbehov, ofta kopplat till tillitsfrågor, vilket i en internationell kontext inte minst syns i en stor mängd etiska riktlinjer och principie
Climate change and land degradation in Africa : A case study in the Mount Elgon region, Uganda
The aim of this study is to estimate and compare soil erosion, in the Mount Elgon region, eastern Uganda, during the last decade. Possible trends and changes in erosion are linked to precipitation/climate change as well as changes in land cover. Two different versions of the Revised Universal Soil loss Equation RUSLE. are implemented and compared, one using slope length and the other using flow ac

Do Drug Accessibility and OOP Burden Affect Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients With Chronic Diseases? — EQ-5D-5L Evaluation Evidence From Five Districts in China
Purpose: The dependence of patients with chronic diseases on drugs may affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aims to assess the relationship between the direct economic burden caused by out-of-pocket (OOP) payments, drug accessibility, sociodemographic characteristics, and health-related quality of life. Methods: 1,055 patients with chronic diseases from Gansu, Hebei, Sic
Fluoroquinolones and Other Antibiotics Redeemed for Cystitis—A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Follow-Up Study (2006–2018)
Background: Antibiotics are commonly prescribed for outpatient management of cystitis. Previous evidence suggests that certain factors likely beyond the infection seem to influence the choice of antimicrobial treatment. However, studies on the specific antibiotic treatments for cystitis are lacking. This study aimed to explore the antibiotic treatments for cystitis using nationwide primary healthc
Auraproduktion och "klassikerfiering" : Om aktivt meningsskapande som gör möbler till klassiker ‒ exemplifierat genom stolar från Sverige och Danmark
Klassiker är ett komplext fenomen. Dynamiskt och svårfångat. Artikeln undersöker hur en modern möbelklassiker skapas Begreppet kan laddas med värden av både immateriell och materiell karaktär. Auraproduktion fyller möbeln med innehåll och stärker den som objekt, vilket gör det till ett operativt och flitigt använt epitet inom både kommersiell och kulturell verksamhet. I artikeln lyfts exempel på p
Systematic analysis of mycobacterial acylation reveals first example of acylation-mediated regulation of enzyme activity of a bacterial phosphatase
Protein lysine acetylation is known to regulate multiple aspects of bacterial metabolism. However, its presence in mycobacterial signal transduction and virulence-associated proteins has not been studied. In this study, analysis of mycobacterial proteins from different cellular fractions indicated dynamic and widespread occurrence of lysine acetylation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins regulati
An integrated raster-tin surface flow algorithm
In this chapter, an alternative surface flow algorithm is presented. The basic idea behind the algorithm is the use of the advantages of TIN-based algorithms within a raster based environment. A gridded raster DEM is used to create a ‘regular TIN’, over which surface flow is estimated. Since each facet in the TIN has a constant slope and slope direction, the estimations of, for example, flow veloc
Local Destruction of Tumors and Systemic Immune Effects
Current immune-based therapies signify a major advancement in cancer therapy; yet, they are not effective in the majority of patients. Physically based local destruction techniques have been shown to induce immunologic effects and are increasingly used in order to improve the outcome of immunotherapies. The various local destruction methods have different modes of action and there is considerable

Investigation of HOM frequency shifts induced by mechanical tolerances
We present Higher Order Mode (HOM) studies on ESS Medium-Beta cavity, designed in INFN-LASA, including both simulation and measurement results. Mechanical tolerances of the fabrication process might shift HOMs frequencies toward harmonics of the bunch frequency. Both simulation and measurements at room and cryogenic temperature show that the design is fully compatible to requirements.

Comparison of algorithms for classifying Swedish landcover using Landsat TM and ERS-1 SAR data
Sixteen landcover classes in a representative Swedish environment were analyzed and classified using one Landsat TM scene and seven ERS-1 SAR.PRI images acquired during 1993. Spectral and backscattering signature separabilities are analyzed using the Jeffries-Matusita distance measure to determine which combinations of channels/images contained the most information. Maximum likelihood, sequential
On the ground estimation of vegetation cover in Australian rangelands
A number of field techniques were assessed on their reliability for estimating vegetation cover in Australian rangelands. The field sampling was undertaken using visual estimation, line intercepts, a crown cover model, and images acquired from a digital camera. The results from these methods were compared and analysed. The data obtained from these differing methods agree with each other in relativ
