EU:s deponeringsdirektiv har medfört ökade krav på deponier. Mängden deponerat organiskt material har begränsats kraftigt och deponiernas inre skall nu vara så torrt som möjligt. Konsekvenserna av detta är ännu inte helt kända. Fläskebodeponin, den deponi som varit i drift längst av de få svenska deponier som är konstruerade enligt direktivet, har här fungerat som ett exempel på framtidens depoThe European landfill directive increases demands on landfills. The amount of organic matter being landfilled is restricted and landfills should be as dry as possible. The consequences of these changes are not yet fully understood. In this study the first landfill in Sweden to be constructed according to the directive, Fläskebo, has served as an example of future landfills. Its leachate has bee

The MUI framework supports composition of ad-hoc applications from services available on ad-hoc networked devices. MUI is an open-ended framework, relying on migrating user interfaces and standardized data formats for connecting services, allowing existing devices to be connected to new devices without needing any pre-defined knowledge of their services. We illustrate the benefits of the approach

Efter en landreform, som genomfördes i slutet av 40- och i början av 50-talet, blev de flesta taiwanesiska bönderna hemmansägare och odlade marken på små lantegendomar. Denna efterkrigsreform banade väg för en ekonomisk utveckling som väsentligt påverkade och förändrade bondesamhället. När det taiwanesiska jordbruket visade tecken på stagnation på 1970-talet, förändrades böndernas syn på markinnehAfter post-war land reform that took place between 1949 and 1953, most Taiwanese farmers became owner-cultivators working on small landholdings. Post-war land reform paved the foundation for economic development and industrialization, processes that squeezed the agricultural sector and created changes in farming villages. When Taiwanese agriculture showed signs of stagnation in the 1970s, farmers’

The preseni paper provides an overview of existing approaches for design and assessment of offshore structures and on this basis proposes a framework for the risk based assessment and monitoring of the performance of offshore wind energy converters in operation. In recognition of the fact that there are presently no established best practices for the assessment and monitoring of offshore wind ener

X-ray phase-contrast imaging by grating interferometry has in the past decades been established both at synchrotron radiation sources and at conventional x-ray tubes. Due to the sensitivity to x-ray phase shifting, contrast in soft tissue has been improved significantly and the possibilities to do virtual histology of tissue biopsies are being pioneered. Constraints in the design of a grating inte

This paper focuses on the intersection of social dynamics, knowledge production, and the implementation of identity features in robotic platforms. Concentrating on the concept of epistemic injustice, particularly in the context of trust, the study highlights the potential for justified distrust based on experienced injustice. The incorporation of social identity features, such as gender, signals g

Microbicides in the leather industries are employed to avoid the biodeterioration of the hides by microorganisms. This problem may lead to harmful characteristics to the end product such as stains, roughness and decrease mechanical properties of leather. Therefore, microbicides like the 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TMCTB) are applied in distinct steps of the tanning process as alternativ

Background: Sweden recently adopted new labor induction guidelines lowering the threshold for post-term pregnancies to 41+ weeks. Despite evidence-based foundation, these guidelines stirred controversy among maternity care professionals, who voiced concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences, such as a rising Caesarean section rate. Midwives also highlighted potential impacts on the

The mental health of the health workforce has been receiving more attention, especially since the pandemic. Levels of burnout, moral injury, and mental disorders, including suicide, among physicians are cause for concern. Healthcare leadership in workplaces plays a crucial role in addressing this important issue, which is also related to the ability to attract and retain physicians. This chapter p

Bakgrund: God kommunikativ och empatisk förmåga hos läkare skapar trygghet och upplevs som professionellt av patienter och närstående. Forskning visar att empati förbättrar patienters följsamhet, nöjdhet och relationen mellan läkare och patient, vilket i sin tur leder till högre vårdkvalitet, bättre behandlingsresultat och minskade vårdkostnader. Ett empatiskt förhållningssätt främjar både fysisk

INTRODUCTION: As the world population is rapidly becoming older, the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasing among older adults with vast implications for brain health of older adults in Europe. Due to differences from younger patients, there are areas of uncertainty in the assessment, diagnosis and management of TBI in older adults.RESEARCH QUESTION: To reach a consensus among exp

It has recently been argued that in normal decision circumstances no systematic decision method that predicts the likelihood that individuals possess some property can be fair. Either (i) the decision method correctly identifies the relevant property (e.g. recidivism) more often in one subgroup (e.g. black defendants) than another (e.g. white defendants); or (ii) the decision method systematically

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur ungdomar som varit placerade på särskilda ungdomshem upplever, definierar och tolkar ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de tolkade de i projektet anställda samordnarna. Den personliga aspekten i relationen mellan ungdomar och samordnare framställs som viktig och det verkThe purpose of this study is to analyse the way young people who were institutionalised in so called special youth-homes experienced, defined and iterpreted on the one hand the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” (meaning: “Counteract Violence and Gangs”), and on the other hand the Coordinators employed in this project. There is a big variation in the perception of the coordinators. One common deno

Background: Small-bore chest drains are now the most common drains for treating pleural effusion (PE), but knowledge on complications is limited especially in malignant PE and empyema. We aimed to evaluate rate of complications of ultrasound guided small bore chest drains [6–10 French (F)] by PE etiology. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 484 chest drains inserted in 330 adults in a Swedish d

Hydropower is a renewable, reliable, and highly predictable source of energy. It has been used for centuries. The tariff of energy generation is divided into two parts: fixed charges and variable charges. Fixed charges are based on the availability of machinery (i.e., plant availability factor) and variable charges are based on the actual energy generation. The energy generation targets are decide
