The environmental footprint of IT products are significant and, in spite of manufacturing and product design improvements, growing consumption of electronics results in increasing absolute environmental impact. Computers have short technological lifespan and a lot of the in-build performance, although necessary, remains idling for most of the time. Today, most of computers used in non-residential

Given current glucose value, amount and timing of insulin injections and food intake, is it possible to predict future blood glucose levels with a prediction error of ±20 mg/dL? In the current study an attempt is made to empirically model the glucose-insulin dynamic interplay and to provide model-based short-term predictors suitable for the purpose.

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 variety of pathogenic bacteria can infect humans and the increase in bacteria resistant to common antibiotics is a large threat to human health worldwide. This work presents a method, based on optical DNA mapping (ODM) in nanofluidic channels, that can detect the type of bacterial present in a sample by matching the obtained maps of large DNA molecules to a database of fully assembled bacterial

The synthesis and characterization of phthalocyaninato-ruthenium (PcRu) complexes with potential functional axial ligands are described. The solubility of these PcRu complexes was much improved compared to their parent phthalocyanines without Ru, enabling purification by normal flash column chromatography and also NMR measurements in common solvents (e. g. DMSO-d(6) and CDCl3). Adsorption of these
