Humic‐like substances (HULIS) are a complex group of relatively high molecular weight organic compounds which contribute considerably to the mass of organic carbon (OC) and influence the light‐absorbing properties of aerosols. In this work, HULIS were investigated for the first time in the high‐Arctic atmosphere, focusing on the chemical characterization and mass contribution of HULIS to the total

We study the phase stability and martensitic transformation of orthorhombic and monoclinic polyethylene by means of density functional theory using the nonempirical consistent-exchange vdW-DF-cx functional [Phys. Rev. B 89, 035412 (2014)]. The results show that the orthorhombic phase is the most stable of the two. Owing to the occurrence of soft librational phonon modes, the monoclinic phase is pr

This article focuses on the interdependence between the state and Sweden’s largest non-governmental victim support umbrella organization, Victim Support Sweden (VSS). In particular, it examines how government funding of VSS has developed since the end of the 1980s. Based on a qualitative analysis of government bills and VSS’s annual reports, the article gives a detailed account of how a non-govern

I ett villaområde finns många olika slags gränser mellan ”mitt” och ”ditt”. I den här artikeln vill vi med utgångspunkt i villaträdgården diskutera exempel på hur sådana gränser tänjs och utmanas. En aspekt är att trädgårdens växter och djur överskrider tomtgränser. Växter vandrar exempelvis ibland in av sig själva, som välkomna tillskott, eller oönskade ogräs. Här är det särskilt intressant att r

Vad innebär det egentligen att vara akademiker i vår tid? Vilka är förväntningarna på oss som universitetslärare och forskare och hur lever vi upp till dem? Vad utmärker en skicklig akademiker och vilka är våra skyldigheter som lärare och kolleger? Går det att kombinera forskning och undervisning på ett fruktbart sätt? Och hur når vi ut med vår forskning? Ska vi publicera oss i tidskrifter eller g

”Hur klarar man livet som idealist och självförsörjande småbonde i det moderna och entreprenördrivna Sverige” undrar en av Sydsvenskans journalister i samband med att han kommit över en ny utgåva av Bondepraktikan samtidigt som tv-programmet Mandelmanns Gård har nypremiär (14/1 2018). Utgångspunkten för denna presentation är en studie om landsbygdens livsstilsentreprenörer, dvs. småskalig verksamh

Due to the disruptive role of the Bitcoin in the financial sector, both scholars and practitioners are increasingly wondering whether it is possible to replicate the impact of the Blockchain technology in the supply chain context. As a distributed ledger technology characterized by the decentralized consensus, Blockchain is touted by many as the proper platform to collect all the information about

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microbial cells is essential for certain biotechnological applications and contributes to the biogeochemical cycling of elements and syntrophic microbial metabolism in complex natural environments. The Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium Enterococcus faecalis, an opportunistic human pathogen, is shown to be able to transfer electrons generated in fermentati

Return to Kashgar – the Jarring Collection of Uyghur Manuscripts Kashgar was a major crossroads for trade and culture along the Eurasian Silk Route for thousands of years, a place where Turkic, Persian, Arab, Chinese and other groups interacted. The Lund University Library is privileged to hold some 600 handwritten books from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries from cities in this region like

Climate change projections show that temperature and precipitation increases can alter the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and high latitude landscapes, including their freshwaters. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an important role in greenhouse gas emissions, but the impact of catchment productivity on DOC release to subarctic waters remains poorly known, especially at re

Background: Cadmium bioaccumulates in the body and causes several adverse health effects. Understanding the primary sources of exposure is critical in order to implement effective prevention measures. Methods: We included 454 adults enrolled in the Florence cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) during 1992–98. At enrolment, information was collected on d
