Three interlaboratory tests conducted by European laboratories were studied, in which 37 laboratories participated in 2018, rising to 46 in 2019 and 2020. A RTFO-aged neat bitumen 20/30 and PMB 45/80-55 in RTFO-aged and unaged conditions were tested using a DSR at frequency of 1.59 Hz with PP08 and PP25 geometries at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 65°C. To assess variation in numerous areas of
An installation for testing techniques related to seeding and harmonic generation has been completed at MAXlab. The aim is to study the processes around seeded harmonic generation at 130/88/54 nm, the 2/3/5 harmonic of a Ti: Sapphire laser. During the spring 2008 the commissioning work has begun and this paper will report on the progress. The test FEL is built around the existing linac injector at
Firefighters are occupationally exposed to a large number of toxic compounds (IARC 2010). The occupational exposure of firefighters has been classified as potentially carcinogenic (class 2B, IARC; (Straif K. et al. 2007)). Poorly quantified emission factors and low understanding of when various aerosol emissions are likely to form during a fire event (initiation, combustion, extinguishing) inhibit
Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was condu
BackgroundGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on patients and healthcare systems. A decline in paediatric visits to healthcare settings was observed, which might have been due to lower incidence of injury and infectious illness, changes in healthcare services and parental concern.

The traditional distance education organisations are challenged by conventional universities who have developed into dual mode institutions using interactive ICT. This challenge from conventional universities may also involve a conceptual challenge - from distribution
Objective: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) is a chronic relapsing condition with unknown etiology. To gain insight into the molecular processes underlying the disease, we examined biomarkers in blood samples collected prior to symptom onset. Methods: The National Patient Register and Cause of Death register were searched for AAV-related International Classifi
När brott begås mot djur, när de blir illa behandlade eller när en djurhållare bryter mot ett djurförbud kan länsstyrelsen fatta beslut att omhänderta djuren från djurhållaren. Om djurhållaren överklagar beslutet kan det innebära att djuren stannar kvar hos djurhållaren under en pågående rättsprocess, trots att personen förelagts med ett beslut om djurförbud. Uppsatsen utreder hur det är möjligt
Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. An alternative to this which has been shown to give more accurate information on the strength of a femur is subject specific finite element a
This paper explores how to implement high-contrast modes in modern game engines to enhance accessibility for low-vision players. Through shaderbased rendering modifications and post-processing techniques, a customizable accessibility mode was developed to improve object recognition and visual clarity without sacrificing game aesthetics. Conducted in collaboration with IO Interactive, a web-based u
Today it is a matter of course to build airtight buildings both in terms of obtaining a good indoor climate as well as meeting the energy requirements. In the near future the energy requirements will be even tougher which demands for even better solutions than there are today. JM is one of the leading companies in its line of building energy efficient buildings but despite this they have been expe
