Within the framework of the European Land Arctic Physical Processes project and as part of the Danish Research Council's Polar Program, a study on trace gas exchange in a high-arctic ecosystem was conducted in NE Greenland, May-August 1997. On the basis of carbon dioxide flux measurements from three dominant surface types, this paper reports on the upscaling of such measurements from canopy to lan

Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of a newly developed 10% liquid immunoglobulin preparation in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases. This new preparation for intravenous use includes three dedicated virus clearance steps in its manufacturing process to ensure a high margin of viral safety. Materials and Methods Thi

Dug trenches in sediment-cored drumlins on the Småland peneplain, southern Sweden, occurring intermixed with rock-cored drumlins, revealed sedimentary successions and facies suggesting that the core sediments were primarily deposited proglacially, both in glaciolacustrine settings as delta-front and more distal deeper-water sediments, and as glaciofluvial braidplain sediments. From the relationshi

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether relative qualitative and quantitative differences in protein expression could be related to smoke exposure or smoke-induced airway inflammation. We therefore explored and characterized the protein components found in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid sampled from either lifelong smokers or never-smokers. Methods: BAL fluid samples obtaine

The primary productivity of a plant community can be modeled as the product of the amount of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) absorbed by the canopy and a light use efficiency factor, where the amount of absorbed PAR (APAR) is the product of the fractional absorption and the amount of incident PAR. By implementing a method, PARcalc, using atmospheric data from the Moderate Resolution Imag

The aim of this research was to analyze the effects and the modes of action of elemental sulfur (So) in bioluminescence and respiration of Vibrio fischeri cells and the enzymes crude luciferase, pure catalase, and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Metallic copper removed sulfur and reduced the toxicity of acetone extracts of sediment samples analyzed in the bioluminescence test. The sulfur inhibition o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cafeterian i Malmö Musikhögskola förvandlas två gånger om året till de passionerades mötesplats: När terminens ”Gambiastudenter” återvänder efter sina tre veckors fältarbete och skola med palmer som klassrumsväggar, möts de av veteranerna, de som redan varit där och som förstår att tolka entusiasmen. Det handlar inte om den vitalitet som alstrats av solen, färgerna och The present study seeks to examine attitudes to teaching and learning among jalis in the Gambia. Although this is the main focus, the horizon of which the study is carried out, analysed and discussed, is the development of music teacher education in Sweden during the last three decades, and of which I have been a participant. The intention of the study is to expand current views on music teaching

How do donors reason and justify their choices when faced with dilemmas in a charitable context? In two studies, Swedish students were confronted with helping dilemmas based on the identifiable victim effect, the proportion dominance effect and the ingroup effect. Each dilemma consisted of two comparable charity projects and participants were asked to choose one project over the other. They were t

Drug therapy is often directed to specific organ and tissue compartments where the mode of action of the compound effects specifically targeted biological processes. However, the direct measurement of drug uptake in terms of a time kinetic and concentrations attained at the local sites has not been readily available as a clinical index for most drugs. A proof-of-principle study was conducted to te

With the over-arching aim of contributing to the development of evidence-based teaching practices, this colloquium provides a forum for scholars doing research on language practices in the teaching of English as a foreign/second language (L2) in mainstream schools in Scandinavia. In Sweden, the English teaching profession has long been guided by monolingual, English Only, ideology, particularly at

The solution properties of two water-soluble polymers, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), covalently labeled with the fluorescent hydrophobic dye naphthalene (Np), have been investigated in water:organic solvent mixtures. The naphthalene chromophores have been randomly attached, onto the polymer, with two different degrees of labeling. Fluorescence measurements (steady-state and time-resolved) have been us

Varumärken är av stor vikt för företag, då de utgör en ekonomisk resurs, kvalitetsstämpel och förmedlar ett budskap. Av naturliga skäl finns det därför ett intresse att registrera varumärken, för att erhålla de förmåner, såsom bl.a. den ensamrätt, en sådan registrering innebär. När en varumärkesansökan inkommer genomför registreringsmyndigheten en prövning mot bl.a. absoluta registreringshinder. ETrademarks are of great importance to companies as they constitute a financial resource, a promise of quality and convey a message. Therefore, there is an obvious interest in registering trademarks to obtain benefits, such as exclusive rights, which such registration entails. When a trademark application is received, the registration authority carries out an examination against, among other things

Kvalitetskontrollsmodell för textilåtervinning 2025 infördes en EU-lag som gjorde det obligatoriskt att sortera textilavfall separat. Här presenteras grunden för en modell som relaterar reaktorparametrar till kvalité på återvunnen textilmassa. Textilindustrin omfattade 2024 knappt 2 biljoner USD. Det är en global industri där textilierna ofta designas i USA, produceras i asiatiska länder och slutTextile recycling is highly needed as great amounts of waste are produced every year and most of it is put into landfill or incinerated. This thesis lays the foundations for a quality control system which may be applied for controlling the recycling of cellulosic textiles in an upcoming pilot plant based on ShareTex’s technology. The quality control system was constructed as a mathematical model r

Väderprognoser är av stor betydelse för till exempel flygrutter, militära operationer och sjöfart. Flera organisationer tillhandahåller numera inte bara sina väderprognoser öppet, utan delar även med sig av sina prognosdata för nedladdning. Teknisk utveckling och ett större utbud av öppna data möjliggör användning av väder- och prognosdata för både privata och kommersiella ändamål. Egna programmerWeather forecasts are of great significance for instance in planning flight routes, military operations, and seafare. Many organizations today openly provide, not only their forecasts, but their raw data as well. Technological development and a greater availability of open data ensures that both weather- and forecast data can be used for both private and commercial purposes. However, customized ap

The topic of Supply Risk Management (SRM) has increased in relevance as the need for a resilient supply chain has become more prevalent. There have been numerous articles published throughout the years regarding SRM and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), including articles with case studies of global OEM’s. Company A, a global OEM located in Sweden, has realised that proactive SRM is a topic of

Att föräldraskap ska kunna förenas med förvärvsarbete är en uttalad ambition både från den svenska lagstiftaren och från EU. I svensk rätt finns regler som syftar till att möjliggöra detta i diskrimineringslagen i form av regler om aktiva åtgärder, det vill säga arbetsgivarens förebyggande och främjande arbete, och i föräldraledighetslagen. Samtidigt präglas arbetsrätten av arbetsgivarens rätt attThe possibility for workers to be able to balance and combine parenthood with employment is an expressed ambition from both the Swedish legislator and from the EU. In Swedish law, there are rules that aim to enable this in the Discrimination Act in form of rules and active measures, i.e., the employer’s preventative and promoted work, as well as in the Parental Leave Act. At the same time, labour

Organiserad brottslighet har under de senaste åren varit en viktig kriminalpolitisk fråga och är det än idag. Media rapporterar frekvent om skjutningar kopplade till hämndaktioner i den kriminella miljön, problem i de utsatta områdena, mord som inte går att klara upp samt företag som förskingrat miljonbelopp. Det ska nämnas att den organiserade brottsligheten har bytt skepnad genom tiderna. MångsiOrganized crime has been an important criminal policy issue in recent years and remains an important issue today. The media frequently reports on shootings linked to retaliation in the criminal environment, problems in the vulnerable areas, murders that cannot be solved and companies that have cheated millions of dollars. It is said that organized crime is a phenomenon that has changed shape over
