The interregional traveller’s preferences of railway stations, their service provision and location, are of interest in the discussion of station reinvention brought on by the introduction of high speed train traffic. A railway station is created by station as well as societal agents, and can be described as a synthesis of symbolic value, location, traffic, services and stationscape. Traveller pr

Two different main concepts for the treatment of a severe traumatic brain injury have been established during the last 15 years, namely the more conventional concept recommended in well-established guidelines (eg, U.S. Guideline, European Guideline, Addelbrook's Guideline from Cambridge), on the one hand, and the Lund concept from the University Hospital of Lund, Sweden, on the other. Owing to the
The stability of the Nyström method for the Sherman-Lauricella equation on contours with corner points $c_j$, $j=0,1,...,m$ relies on the invertibility of certain operators $A_{c_j}$ belonging to an algebra of Toeplitz operators. The operators $A_{c_j}$ do not depend on the shape of the contour, but on the opening angle $\theta_j$ of the corresponding corner $c_j$ and on parameters of the approxim
In this paper we investigate the LHC potential for discovering doubly charged vector bileptons considering the measurable process p, p -> e(-/+) e -/+ mu(+/-) mu(+/-) X. We perform the study using four different bilepton masses and three different exotics quark masses. Minimal LHC integrated luminosities needed for discovering and for setting limits on bilepton masses are obtained for both 7 and 1
To escape competition at the dung pile, a ball-rolling dung beetle forms a piece of dung into a ball and rolls it away. To ensure an their efficient escape from the dung pile, the beetles rely on a celestial compass to move along a straight paths. Here, we analyzed the reliability of different skylight cues for this compass and found that dung beetles rely not only on the sun, but also on the skyl
Internationalisation of higher education is a strategic theme in current research on higher education and policy debate. Both at national and institutional levels, in many countries, internationalisation is stated to be an educational goal. However, the dominant discourse on internationalisation of higher education in research and research-based discussions tends to be framed by political, economi
This paper explores a global trend where universities are collaborating with local government, industry and civic organisations to advance the sustainable transformation of a specific town, city or region. With empirical evidence, we argue that this function of ‘cocreation for sustainability’ could be interpreted as the seeds of an emerging, new mission for the university. We demonstrate that this
The hydrology of the Yellow River source region is expected to be affected by coming climate change. This will have repercussions for the 110million basin inhabitants. Consequently, precipitation, temperature, and streamflow trends and periodicities during the last 50years were investigated to identify significant changes in time and space over the study area. Results showed that mean annual tempe
In this work we have calculated U from first principles for the early lanthanides (Ce-Gd) using the constrained random phase approximation (cRPA). We compare the static limit of U with experimental estimations from x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS) spectra and also discuss the frequency dependence of U across the series. The localized subspace
The dimeric metabolic enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3.1.9) plays an essential role in energy production. In the grass Festuca ovina, field surveys of enzyme variation suggest that genetic variation at cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be adaptively important. In the present study, we investigated the molecular basis of the potential adaptive significance of PGIC in F. ovina by analyzing cDNA s
The objective of this report is to provide an implementation guide to understanding the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB) model as applied to the Swedish Residential sector. The report depicts the work that prepares the ground to use and test the model to evaluate energy efficiency policy instruments targeting the Swedish residential sector during the next phase of the project. It is argued wil
Growing demand for transport biofuels in the EU is driving an expansion of the industry in developing countries. Large-scale production of energy crops for biofuel, if mismanaged, could cause detrimental environmental and social impacts. The aim of this study is to examine whether the newly adopted EU Directive 2009/28/EC and its sustainability certification system can effectively ensure sustainab
Background: To evaluate the effect of one lesson of continuing medical education (CME) of subjective assessment of optic nerve head appearance on sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of glaucoma. Methods: Ophthalmologists and residents in ophthalmology attending an international glaucoma meeting arranged at Malmo University Hospital, Malmo, Sweden, were asked to grade optic nerve head (ON
This is a Master's thesis, and it is a report on a study on different secondary packaging for the Tetra Brik Aseptic 1500 ml Slim package (TBA 1500 S). At the beginning of this study no installed filling line for the TBA 1500 S package existed. The first line was installed in October. Therefore a similar package was studied, the TBA 1000 S package. Data were collected on this package and then
this thesis evaluates what impact thr regionally integrated area of MERCOSUL has had on the investment flows in the automotive industry in Argentina and Brazil. The aanalysis is based on the theoretical framework on FDI and regional integrataion developed by Kokko & Blomström and interviews with MNCs in the region. We discuss what the motives have been for the automotive industry to locate in
