Normvärdet 0,5 luftomsättningar per timme är för lågt under den varma årstiden och onödigt hög på vintern. Ventilationen bör variera med årstiden. Helst bör styrningen ske automatiskt via ånghalten i luften. Rekommendationerna i SBN och nuvarande Nybyggnadsregler om hur platta på mark bör utföras har varierat under åren. Men konsekvent har man prioriterat uttorkning av byggfukt och därmed dragit

When distributed to different artefacts, the self appears in a multitude of shapes, characterized not only by its materiality but also by the necessity to preserve at least an illusion of a core self. The experience of a continuous evolution of these overlapping “selves”, many of which are materialized together with others’ overlapping selves, cannot be captured by traditional design approaches, n

Interview with Saskia Sassen about globalization, liberalism and democracy.

Chronically implanted microelectrodes are an invaluable tool for neuroscientific research, allowing long term recordings in awake and behaving animals. It is known that all such electrodes will evoke a tissue reaction affected by its' size, shape, surface structure, fixation mode and implantation method. However, the possible correlation between tissue reactions and the number of implanted electro

Abstract in UndeterminedBackground: The software development environment is growing increasingly complex, with a greater diversity of stakeholders involved in product development. Moves towards global software development with onshoring, offshoring, insourcing and outsourcing have seen a range of stakeholders introduced to the software development process, each with their own incentives and unders

Many small enterprises that are planning to implement environmental management systems (EMSs) and get certified according to the ISO 14001 standard or EMAS regulation have experienced a lot of barriers on the road towards certification. The standards are perceived as bureaucratic and represent a way of working that often fits poorly into the organizational culture and decision-making structure of

BACKGROUND: New experimental approaches to the study of the neutrophil phagosome and bacterial killing prompted a reassessment of the usefulness of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-differentiated HL-60 cells as a neutrophil model. HL-60 cells are special in that they possess azurophilic granules while lacking the specific granules with their associated oxidase components. The resulting inability to

BACKGROUND.: The proliferation signal inhibitor everolimus offers the potential to reduce calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) exposure and alleviate CNI-related nephrotoxicity. Randomized trials in maintenance thoracic transplant patients are lacking. METHODS.: In a 12-month, open-labeled, multicenter study, maintenance thoracic transplant patients (glomerular filtration rate >/=20 mL/min/1.73m and 1 year

Qualitative methods are well established in music education research. This has led to an interesting body of research, each project investigating in depth a specific situation or phenomenon. One way of combining the advantages of qualitative studies with the aim of acquiring general theories Of music education might be to develop methods of re-analyzing primary studies on a secondary, meta level.

Att delta i en anhörigförening kan betraktas som ett sätt att bryta mot sjukvårdens individualiserande och problematiserande syn på anhöriga och normalisera en alternativ anhörigidentitet. Gemenskapen inom föreningen spelar då en avgörande roll; den ”besvarar” och motarbetar individualiseringen samt upprätthåller en växling mellan glädje och bekymmer som motarbetar problematiseringen.

The Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rat is a genetic animal model of depression that displays characteristics similar to those of depressed patients including lower body weight, decreased appetite and reduced REM sleep latency. Hypothalamic neuropeptides such as orexin/hypocretin, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART), that are involved in the re

In. this study, particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to investigate the physical process of separated flow in a square channel roughened with periodically transverse ribs on one wall. The ribs obstruct the channel by 15% of its height and are arranged 12 rib heights apart. The Reynolds number based on the bulk-mean velocity and the corresponding hydraulic diameter of the channel, is fixed at 2

A prevailing question in phytoplankton research addresses changes of genetic diversity in the face of huge population sizes and apparently unlimited dispersal capabilities. We investigated population genetic structure of the pennate planktonic marine diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata at the LTER station MareChiara in the Gulf of Naples (Italy) over four consecutive years and explored possible c

OBJECTIVES: Alzheimer disease (AD) can now be diagnosed in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using biomarkers. However, little is known about the rate of decline in those subjects. In this cohort study, we aimed to assess the conversion rate to dementia and identify prognostic markers in subjects with MCI and evidence of amyloid pathology. METHODS: We pooled subjects from the VU Un
