The aim of this work was to develop a model suited for detailed studies of aerosol dynamics, gas and particle phase chemistry within urban plumes, from local scale (1x1 km(2)) to regional scale. This article describes and evaluates the trajectory model for Aerosol Dynamics, gas and particle phase CHEMistry and radiative transfer (AD-CHEM). The model treats both vertical and horizontal dispersion p

Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative consequences from wetland loss on nutrient retention, biodiversity and a range of other benefits to humans. The current trend is therefore to re-establish wetlands, often with an aim to achieve the simultaneous delivery of mu

Lung function is highly dependent on the structure of the lung parenchyma. Remodeling of the alveolar compartment is a central part of the pathology of chronic lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Pathological lung remodeling occurs as an interplay between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) which in addition to its structu

Fruit and vegetables are vital components of a healthy diet, and international strategies to encourage their consumption are in place (FAO/WHO, 2005). Ready-to-eat (RTE) leafy green vegetable products have exploded in popularity, and are a convenient and attractive way to add greens to the plate. Unfortunately, sales numbers are accompanied by increasing numbers of food-borne illness outbreaks.Thi

INTRODUCTION Despite preeclampsia being one of the most severe obstetrical complications there is only scant research describing women's experiences of preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to explore women's experience during pregnancy and the postpartum period regarding the provided information and care concerning preeclampsia. METHODS A qualitative study was designed. Semi-structured face-to-

Activism against sexual violence was one of the Egyptian Revolution’s most significant mobilising forces, but the country’s return to authoritarian rule has circumvented possibilities for organising and carrying out political resistance, including activism against sexual harassment. This article shows that despite this political oppression, young feminists continue to raise their voices and organi

Health complaints are increasing among adolescents and are recognized as a global public health issue. Health complaints are an indicator for subjective ill-being, but little is known about the relationship between sadness and other health complaints. The aim of this study was to investigate sadness and other health complaints among Swedish adolescents. A survey with a cross-sectional design was c

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with motor- and non-motor symptoms. When the disease progresses, symptom burden increases. Consequently, additional care demands develop, the complexity of treatment increases, and the patient's quality of life is progressively threatened. To address these challenges, there is growing awareness of the potential benefit

Climate change models predict an increase in the intensity and frequency of drought periods as well as precipitation events. Moisture and its fluctuations have a large impact on soil microorganisms, which are key drivers of the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. When there is a drought period followed by a rainfall event there is a big CO2 release from soil to the atmosphere, which can dominate the C b

Over the past couple of decades, increased interdependencies between and institutional defragmentation of, our Critical Infrastructures (CIs) have created a setting were traditional risk management might no longer suffice. In particular, analysis and management of risks have evolved from being a predominantly intra-organisational task towards a process that also requires inter-organisational coord

The values we see in society are reflected in the built environment we produce. Although an open and democratic society is something that we want, it is not obvious that this openness should be transferred directly to our built environments. What social life takes place when courtyards become part of the public sphere instead of the private one? Well-designed courtyards functions as a complement

Syftet med studien var att utveckla och prova ett instrument som stöd i den terapeutiska processen i spädbarnspsykiatriskt behandlingsarbete. Instrumentet togs fram i enlighet med sk. Feedback Informed Treatment där terapeut och patient kalibrerar arbetssätt och innehåll genom systematisk återkoppling av progress och relation i behandlingen. Instrumentet anpassades till en samspelsbehandlingskonteThe aim of the thesis was to develop an instrumentto support the therapeutic processin Infant Psychiatric Treatment.

Child sexual abuse is a global public health problem. In Sweden, the social services have the ultimate responsibility to support and protect these children. This study examines social workers' experiences of the challenges and dilemmas that arise in their daily work with children who have been sexually abused. The method used was of a qualitative nature and the respondents were chosen by purpo

För erhållande av flyktingstatus krävs det att den sökandes skyddsbehov kan hänföras till någon av de skyddsgrundande egenskaperna i flyktingdefinitionen. Om den sökande har en välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse av en annan anledning är hen alltså inte flykting. Då den sökande anför ett skyddsbehov sur place på grund av konversion fokuseras bedömningen på om den sökandes skyddsbehov är hänförligt In order to obtain refugee status, it requires that the applicant's need for protection attributes to one of the grounds of persecution in the refugee definition. Thus, if the refugee has a well-founded fear for other reasons, they are not a refugee. When the applicant states a need for protection sur place, for purposes of religious conversion, the refugee status determination focuses on whet

Denna studie undersöker hur tre klassiska sångpedagoger på avancerad nivå ser på tungans funktion och hur de diagnostiserar, analyserar och arbetar med oönskade tungspänningar. Ett övergripande syfte är även att undersöka om det går att urskilja ett mönster i sångpedagogernas syn på arbetet med tungan och tungspänningar. Studien är kvalitativ och utförd med semistrukturerade intervjuer. För att ävThis study explores three classical voice teachers’ views on the function of the tongue in singing and how they diagnose, analyze and work with unwanted tongue tensions. My focus is to determine whether it is possible to find common denominators in the voice teachers’ conceptions of the tongue and unwanted behavior of the tongue. I use a qualitative approach in my study, where data is collected th

Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. H

Bakgrund: Majoriteten av individer med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) har svårigheter att tolka och bearbeta sensoriska intryck. När ett barns förmåga att bearbeta sensoriska intryck inte matchar kraven i miljön blir skoldagen en stor utmaning. Idag saknar skolan användbara modeller för att förstå elevers skolsvårigheter och behov utifrån ett aktivitets- och delaktighetsperspektiv. Syfte: Att med sBackground: The majority of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties in interpreting and processing sensory input. When the abilities of a child to process sensory input does not match the demands of the environment, school becomes a difficult challenge. Schools today lack models that enable teachers to understand the difficulties of a pupil from an occupational- and parti

Hungary is one of the countries that has followed the global trend of democratic backsliding. Inspired by the closing of the Central European University in Budapest we decided to take a closer look at which laws made it possible for the Hungarian government to implement these changes on the higher education institutions. The purpose of this essay is to examine the civil democratic activity followi
