Medicament container of polymer of cyclic hydrocarbon for storing a liquid medicament

A medicament container for storing a liquid medicament, such as insulin, comprises a wall with at least two opposite portions made of a polymer material having a light transmission at 400 nm of at least 25%, a glass transition temperature above 50° C., and a density of 0.95 g/cm3 or more. The polymer material comprises at least 70% by weight of a copolymer material composed of aliphatic cyclic or

Complex attosecond waveform synthesis at fel fermi

Free-electron lasers (FELs) can produce radiation in the short wavelength range extending from the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) to the X-rays with a few to a few tens of femtoseconds pulse duration. These facilities have enabled significant breakthroughs in the field of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, implementing different schemes based on two-color photoionization mechanisms. In this articl

Laccase bound to cryogel functionalized with phenylalanine for the decolorization of textile dyes

In this study, amino acid functionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacrylolyl-l-phenylalanine) [PHEMAPA] cryogel discs were prepared. In this respect, phenylalanine containing N-methacryloyl-(L)-phenylalanine methyl ester (MAPA) was polymerized with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) without requirement of any activation step. Laccase bound poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacrylo

Access to sexuality : Disabled people's experiences of multiple barriers

This chapter concerns disabled people’s experiences of barriers to accessing sexuality. It draws on an analysis of materials produced in ten projects by civil society organisations, including self-advocacy organisations, sexual rights organisations and organisations working on behalf of disabled people. These materials comprise books, handbooks, videos, websites and other online materials, and are

System-on-Chip Test Scheduling and Test Infrastructure Design

There are several challenges that have to be considered in order to reduce the cost of System-on-Chip (SoC) testing, such as test application time, chip area overhead due to hardware introduced to enhance the testing, and the price of the test equipment. In this thesis the test application time and the test infrastructure hardware overhead of multiple-core SoCs are considered and two different pro

Distinction of lymphoid and myeloid clonal hematopoiesis

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from somatic genomic alterations that drive clonal expansion of blood cells. Somatic gene mutations associated with hematologic malignancies detected in hematopoietic cells of healthy individuals, referred to as CH of indeterminate potential (CHIP), have been associated with myeloid malignancies, while mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) have been associated wit

Designing Enchanted Rituals for Modern Man

This article discusses a new form of rituals, marketed as coaching or layman therapeutic practices, focusing on self-development and healing, which rapidly expanded in the early 2000s in Sweden. The targets of these rituals are individuals and workplaces, buying these and similar formalized practices. Questions raised include: How do these rituals reflect the structure of society?

Infection of brain pericytes underlying neuropathology of covid‐19 patients

A wide range of neurological manifestations have been associated with the development of COVID‐19 following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. However, the etiology of the neurological sympto-matology is still largely unexplored. Here, we used state‐of‐the‐art multiplexed immunostaining of human brains (n = 6 COVID‐19, median age = 69.5 years; n = 7 control, median age = 68 years) and demonstrated that express

Introduction : Into the fields of stubborn obstacles and lingering exclusion

Accessibility today has a contradictory character. One the one hand, people with disabilities are welcomed and included, with ambitious promises in policies and declarations. On the other hand, they are still excluded in everyday practices. This volume explores this contradiction in three areas: city and transport, knowledge and education, and law, institutions and history. Sweden is the primary cAccessibility today has a contradictory character. One the one hand, people with disabilities are welcomed and included, with ambitious promises in policies and declarations.

Balanced options for access and benefit-sharing : stakeholder insights on provider country legislation

The over-arching aim of the access and benefit-sharing (ABS) of genetic resources is to enable fair distribution of benefits between the users (such as universities and biotech companies) and providers (such as biodiversity rich countries) so as to both open the doors for innovation and create incentives for biodiversity conservation. Access to genetic resources is crucial for research related to

Climate Change and Residential Energy Use in Europe : Assessing Future Energy Demands and Renewable Generation Potentials

In recent years, climate change and the corresponding expected extreme weather conditions have been widelyrecognized as potential problems. The construction industry is taking various actions to achieve sustainabledevelopment, implement energy conservation strategies, and provide climate change mitigation. In addition tomitigation, it is crucial to adapt to climate change, and to investigate the p

Aktivitetsdiamanten : Modellering av en vidareutvecklad tillgänglighet

Syftet med forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling är att vidareutveckla tillgänglighetsområdet i riktning mot en större perspektivrikedom. Avhandlingen baseras på kulturhistorisk aktivitetsteori (CHAT). Den analyserar en systemisk helhet utifrån sådana mänskliga, artefaktuella och naturliga faktorer som påverkar en individs handlingsmöjligheter i konkreta situationer.Avhandlingen har två h

Open System Tribology in the Wheel-Rail Contact-A Literature Review

The tiny contact zone (approximately 1 cm2) where steel wheel meets steel rail is fundamental to rail transport. This work is a comprehensive presentation of recent research in wheel-rail contact tribology. It stresses that, unlike gears or rolling bearings which are sealed contacts with reduced exposure to the surrounding environment, a wheel-rail contact is an open system that is exposed to dirt

Open system tribology and influence of weather condition

The tribology of an open system at temperatures ranging between 3 °C and -35 °C, with and without snow, was investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer mounted in a temperature-controlled environmental chamber. The relationship between the microstructure and ductility of the materials and the tribology at the contacting surfaces was investigated. The study shows that during continuous sliding, pre

Watching soot inception via online Raman spectroscopy

In this work, online spontaneous Raman spectroscopy was applied to study the soot inception and growth zones of a low pressure premixed ethylene/oxygen flame. Firstly, we measured online Raman spectrum of aerosol soot extracted from the flame. The spectrum was compared to ex situ Raman measurements of the same soot after being deposited on a window. In the aerosol soot particles, the presence of a

The power integration diffusion model for production breaks

The learning curve during repetitive production and the associated forgetting during production breaks are fundamental issues in the understanding of behavior. A model is suggested that combines 3 basic findings, namely, that single memory traces decay according to a power function of the retention interval, that aggregated memory traces can be combined by integration, and that the time to produce

Integrative neurocomputational perspectives on cognitive aging, neuromodulation, and representation

Besides neuroanatomical changes, neuromodulatory mechanisms are also compromised during aging. Neural network models are suitable tools for exploring the relatively broad and homogenous neuromodulatory influences on cortical function. Computational approaches for understanding neuromodulation of the dynamic properties of cortical function and recent neurocomputational theories relating different a
