Population aging has tremendous economic consequences and generates an unprecedented pressure on the welfare state. As the number and share of ‘dependent’ people grows, the state struggles to finance pensions and health-related costs. In this optic, Sweden is no exception: the mean age of the population, life expectancy and share of people above 65 continuously increase – which warrants the focus

How far back in time can we trace fire use in the human story? The archaeological data has demonstrated inconsistency when it comes to answering that question. Incontrovertible remains after hearths are scarce especially before 100,000 years BP. One of the reasons are that remains after temporary hearths doesn’t preserve well in the archaeological record in comparison with for example, stone tools

Peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle as they contain a large soil carbon stock. However, current climate change could potentially shift peatlands from being carbon sinks to carbon sources. Remote sensing methods provide an opportunity to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange in peatland ecosystems at large scales under these changing conditions. In this study, we developed ePeatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle as they contain a large soil carbon stock.

Objectives. Despite accumulating research on yoga and its positive impact on both physiological and psychological health, it is still unclear how yoga improves health. Two central components of yoga: yogic breathing and mindfulness, may be important mechanisms by which individuals learn to cope with their daily stressors, and thereby reduce their risk of developing stress-related illness.

[3H]arachidonic acid (20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid (18:2) were fed in a triolein emulsion to essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) rats and to age-matched controls.

Unlike what is usually taken for granted in semiotics, communication, in the sense of semiosis, does not essentially depend on transport and/or recoding. Instead, it consists in the creation of an artefact, with the additional setting of a task of interpretation. This task may be set by the addressee, just as likely as by the addresser. In making this suggestion, we are inspired by Husserlean phen

Aims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common. We aimed to invasively derive and validate a quantitative echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and to compare its prognostic performance to diastolic dysfunction grading.Methods and results: Echocardiographic measures were used to derive an estimated PAWP (ePAWP) usingAims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common.

Ultrashort laser pulses play an important role in many applications in science and technology, from attosecond science to time resolved spectroscopy and material processing. For applications of ultrashort laser pulses, it requires a complete characterization of the electric field of the pulse, which includes both phase and amplitude of the electric field. The characterization of ultrashort laser pThe human eye can clearly observe movements as fast as around 0.1 seconds long, but how can we observe the movement that is way too fast for the human eye? For example, you can barely read any labels from a really fast moving formula 1 car. However, if we use a camera which can act faster than the human eye, we can capture the images of the moving object. When a camera takes a picture, it records

The transition to farming in the coastal environments of southern Scandinavia remains a key conundrum in European prehistory. This region was heavily exploited by Late Mesolithic communities of the Ertebølle culture, complex hunter-fisher-gatherers who flourished for some 1500 years prior to the arrival of farming at around 4000 BCE marking the start of the Neolithic period.

Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. This study reports the foraminiferal survival behavior, and geochemical tr

Limited-slip differentials (LSD) are normally placed in high-end and race cars to improve the handling, by reducing the differential speed and balancing the torque between the driving wheels. However, electrical-activated LSD struggles to continuously eliminate the differential speed over extended periods of time. To overcome this, BorgWarner proposed a dual-functional clutch pack, featuring two d

This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi

The textile industry’s linear business paradigm fuels excessive resource extraction and generate vast amounts of waste. Despite the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and growing industry awareness of these environmental concerns, many firms struggle to implement transformative Circular Business Models (CBMs) that provide a sustainable countermodel. Underlying socio-technical dynamics further amplify

Background:The need for complete staging surgery including hysterectomy for all age patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) is debatable, considering fertility in younger patients and potential higher morbidity in older patients. We aimed to investigate the relapse risk and overall survival in a cohort including patients who underwent conservative surgery (organ-preserving procedures) to min

To study adhesion in flexible laminates, standardised peel tests are commonly used where macroscopic measurements, e.g. peel force versus peel arm displacement, are extracted. However, insights into the adhesion mechanisms at the microscopic scale are limited. This study has developed a framework for determining peel arm geometry parameter evolution and deformation in packaging material laminates.

Background Following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) there is a risk for restenosis (reCoA), particularly in the first year of life. It was the aim of this study to identify reCoA risk factors by analyzing postoperative pre-discharge echocardiograms. Methods Retrospective analysis of echocardiograms of children born operated for CoA in Sweden 2011-2017. Results 253 children were includ
