Konsumtionsstaden : Ökad konsumtion - inte bara i företagens intresse

När kommuner satsar på sina stadskärnor och externa köpcentrum uppmuntras samtidigt konsumtion. På så sätt krockar på många sätt lokala ekonomiska mål med mer globala hållbarhetsmål.När kommuner satsar på sina stadskärnor och externa köpcentrum uppmuntras samtidigt konsumtion.

Reactions with radioactive beams and development of scintillator-based detector systems

An experiment on elastic scattering of 15 C on 208 Pb at an energy of 65 MeVwas performed at ISOLDE (CERN) exploiting the advantages of the ISOL te-chinique. The measurement showed in increase of the reaction cross section to3035 mb with respect to 12 C, confirming the results obtained at 80 MeV/u. Mea-surements to characterise and develop detector modules for the CALIFA setupwas performed for the

Active Ageing: Conceptual Developments, International Experiences and Recent Policy Strategies in Italy

Population ageing is one of the most challenging social, demographic and economic phenomena affecting our societies, and policy makers and researchers have been developing diverse responses to address its consequences. During the last decades, within the EU context a new concept has been developed under the label of Active Ageing (AA), intended as a tool to support efforts aimed at adapting the so

Risk of Being Born Preterm in Offspring of Cancer Survivors : A National Cohort Study

Background: With the increased number of cancer survivors, it is necessary to explore the effect of cancer and its treatments on pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth, which seriously endangers the health of offspring. We aimed to explore the risk of being born preterm among offspring of cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. All singleton live births be

Interference-free OFDM embedding of wake-up signals for low-power wake-up receivers

The use of ultra-low power wake-up receivers (WuRx) can significantly reduce idle listening energy cost. To tailor a WuRx scheme to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based systems, such as LTE-MTC or IEEE 802.11, the wake-up signal (WUS) also needs to follow OFDM principles to avoid interfering with other transmissions in the same shared bandwidth. Here, we address this particular

A step into the unknown: universities and the governance of regional economic development

As the social and economic landscape changes, universities are coming under growing pressure to contribute to the economic development of their localities. This paper explores the increasing trends towards universities as key actors in the governance of regional economic development through activities to support economic and entrepreneurship development in their regions. A case study is presented

Vid världens ände : Sultanens sändebud och hans berättelser om 1700-talets Sverige

När sultanens sändebud Mehmed Said Efendi äntligen stiger i land i Stockholm sommaren 1733 hälsas han av – enligt egen utsago – ”druvklasar” av åskådare, kanonsalvor och en ståtlig kortege. Resan hade tagit mer än ett halvår och hemma i Istanbul rådde politisk oro efter att den reformvänlige och tulpanälskande sultanen Ahmed III störtats.Historikern Joachim Östlund återskapar atmosfären och miljön

Spinal cord injury in zebrafish induced by near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses

BACKGROUND: The spinal cord is composed of a large number of cells that interact to allow the organism to function. To perform detail studies of cellular processes involved in spinal cord injury (SCI), one must use repeatable and specific methods to target and injure restricted areas of the spinal cord.NEW METHOD: We propose a robust method to induce SCI in zebrafish by laser light. With a 2-photo

Urban green space qualities reframed toward a public value management paradigm : The case of the Nordic Green Space Award

The change toward a public value management (PVM) paradigm in the public sector has challenged urban green space managers to rethink how they define and assess their services. In the Nordic countries, the challenge has resulted in the development of the Nordic Green Space Award (NSGA), as a new shared standard. This article reviews the NGSA scheme and its development. The development of the scheme

The Inherent Politics of Managing the Quality of Urban Green Spaces

Although the term ‘quality’ has a universal positive connotation and typically is framed by a focus on improvements, its application includes as well as excludes the access, values and world views of particular actors and interests. In this article, we highlight the relevance and implications of such ‘inherent politics’ through a case study of a widespread approach to operationalizing quality in u

An Integrated Simulation-Based Methodology for Considering Weather Effects on Formwork Removal Times

This paper presents an integrated simulation-based methodology for considering the effects of weather on formwork removal times. An expert tool for estimating formwork removal times and weather data with high resolution are integrated into a discrete-event simulation model containing a process model of in-situ concrete wall operations. In addition, operational measures (denoted as curing strategie

Speckle-based compressive imaging in ultrafast spectroscopy

We present a straightforward implementation of compressive imaging in femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. By using laser speckles as random patterns we built a single-pixel camera experiment capable of imaging processes with temporal resolution

Reporting frequency of radiology findings increases after introducing visual rating scales in the primary care diagnostic work up of subjective and mild cognitive impairment

Objectives: Study the effect of introducing a template for radiological reporting of non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) in the primary care diagnostic work up of cognitive impairment using visual rating scales (VRS). Methods: Radiology reports were assessed regarding compliance with a contextual report template and the reporting of the parameters medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA), white matt
