Att avlägsna en luftförorening från en bostad kan ske på olika sätt, dels genom ventilationen dels genom att vissa föroreningar avlägsnas genom någon typ av filtrering av luften. Filtrering av luften används t.ex. vid olika typer av allergiska problem för att avlägsna icke önskvärda partiklar, t.ex. pollen. Filtrering har också föreslagits som en möjlig metod att minska stråldosen i samband med ra

The United Nations (UN)-led global consultations on new development goals, which will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), started in 2012. In comparison with the creation of the MDGs, the road towards the post-2015 goals is much more inclusive and participatory. The consultations are part of a longer trend, in which intergovernmental organizations seek to strengthen their legitimacy

Standard Swedish has a large amount of import words from Low German. These words were adopted by the urban population, approximately 5 % of the people, in the middle ages. According to the author very little was taken over by the speakers of the genuine rural dialects. Instead it is resonable to believe that the propagation of these import word took place as an aspect of the weakening of the rural

When production is outsourced consumers possibilities to inform themselves about production processes is reduced. Information instruments for consumers, e.g. labelling, are more difficult to apply when materials and chemicals used during production cannot be monitored easily. The globalisation of production and consumption is a challenge for consumers as regards quality of products. This paper us

The paper presents the two Swedish film workshops "Filmverkstan" and FilmCentrum" and discusses them as minor cinema practices. Besides sketching the history of the workshops, the paper presents an agenda for further research.

A study of Swedish post-war amateur and experimental film culture, and especially the gradual divide between amateurs and experimentalists.

Ethics is the study of the normative dimensions of human relations and experiences. This chapter discusses such questions in relation to basic values in modern society. The normative foundations for the analysis are the values of human dignity, autonomy, freedom, equality, and solidarity, as well as the responsibilities of society toward its citizens, including freedom, security, and justice. The

Mellan åren 1955 och 1957 utförde Märta Strömberg (sedermera professor i arkeologi) och Rolf Petré (som senare blev fil. lic. i arkeologi) arkeologiska undersökningar av Vätterydsgravfältet i norra Mellby socken (L1990:1893 / Norra Mellby 1:1) ...

A conceptual design of a year 2035 turbofan is developed and integrated onto a year 2035 aircraft model. The mission performance is evaluated for CO2, noise and NOx and is compared with a notional XWB/A350-model. An OGV heat exchanger is then studied rejecting heat from an electric generator, and its top-level performance is evaluated. The fan, the booster and the low-pressure turbine of the propu

Aims: A single cryoballoon (CB) application per vein for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) could save time and was therefore compared to the standard approach of two consecutive CB applications for acute and long-term efficacy and safety.Methods and results: Patients with symptomatic AF were randomized to a single CB application per vein guided by an Achieve®

A brief period of sublethal cerebral ischemia, followed by several days of recovery, renders the brain resistant to a subsequent lethal ischemic insult, a phenomenon termed ischemic preconditioning or tolerance. Ischemic tolerance was established in the rat two-vessel occlusion model of ischemia, induced by occlusion of both carotid arteries in combination with hypotension. Ischemic preconditionin

A short period of sublethal preconditioning ischemia (3 min) followed by two days of reperfusion provides almost complete protection against ischemic cell death induced by a second (9 min) lethal ischemic episode. Here, we have investigated the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase kinase and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, two kinases known to activate gene transcription an

The protective effect of the α2-receptor antagonist idazoxan against neuronal damage in the neocortex and in the hippocampal CA1 region was studied in rats exposed to 10 min of incomplete forebrain ischemia. When administered i.v. immediately after ischemia (0.1 mg/kg) and subsequently for 6 h (10 μg/kg/min), idazoxan significantly reduced neuronal damage in the hippocampus (from 84 to 26%) and in

Climate City Contracts or CCCs are being developed in the context of a larger mission, with many stakeholders, funding, and growing momentum, hopefully providing a new force, legitimacy, and inspiration to ongoing urban climate actions. CCCs differ from current strategies for tackling climate change in cities because they are being developed in the context of the mission approach to tackle some of

Goal self-concordance has been shown to have enduring influences on behavior. It predicts sustained effort and increased goal-attainment. Compared to goals that lack self-concordance, self-concordant goals generate greater satisfaction and increased well-being. One research strand where vision and goal self-concordance have been studied as integrated dimensions in behavior-steering processes is wo
