To date, most studies on coupled-water-and-heat processes in frozen soils haves focused on the mechanism of changes in frozen soil and the contribution of climate change, hydrological processes, and ecosystems in cold regions. Several studies have demonstrated considerable improvements in the accuracy of simulating water and heat transfer processes in cold regions. However, substantial differences

Institutionen för kultur och samhälle vid Linköpings universitet får härmed avge yttrande som utarbetats av professorerna Anna Lundberg och Anders Neergaard.En övergripande utgångspunkt för utredningen har varit att migrationspolitiken ska vara långsiktigt hållbar, human, rättssäker och effektiv. I det följande lämnar vi synpunkter utifrån denna utgångspunkt. Vi menar sammantaget att kommittén int

Introduction: A detailed understanding of respiratory support patterns in preterm infants is lacking. The aim was to explore and visualize this practice in Sweden. Methods: Preterm infants with gestational ages of 22-31 weeks, admitted to neonatal units reporting daily to the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register and discharged alive in November 2015-April 2022, were included in this descriptive cohor

In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u

Aims: Preclinical and human studies suggest that a social partner's genotype may be associated with addiction-related outcomes. This study measured whether spousal genetic makeup is associated with risk of developing drug use disorder (DUD) during marriage and whether the risk associated with a spouse's genotype could be disentangled from potentially confounding rearing environmental effects. Desi

The influence of aeration diffuser system design on electricity usage, effluent water quality, and life-cycle cost in biological wastewater treatment was investigated. A plant-wide model was implemented, and simulations were carried out with different process configurations and aeration systems. Model-aided design of new aeration diffuser systems could significantly decrease electricity usage and

Remodelling is an important process in bones in order to maintain bone mass and to recover cracks which naturally develop within the bone material. There is agreement in the literature that the piezoelectric characteristic of bones is one possible initiator of bone remodelling. In recent experimental studies, however, it has been found that cortical bone also exhibits flexoelectric properties whic

This paper introduces the use of a multi-zone modelling approach for analysing smoke spread in tunnels. The approach suggested in this paper is based on an existing model, i.e., the Multi-Zone Fire model developed for large spaces. The Multi-Zone Fire model has been adapted and modified for tunnel fire scenarios by including features that consider longitudinal ventilation flow, tunnel gradient and

Soil erosion has created landscape problems in many parts of the world and in particular in cold regions where the sensitive permafrost conditions have changed due to climate warming. Such a case occurred in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which has been strongly affected by global warming and human activities. Monitoring technologies, like remote sensing and field surveys were used to explore soil eros

Background: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is associated with aberrant emotional information processing while little is known about non-emotional cognitive processing biases. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been implicated in SAD neuropathology and is activated both by emotional and non-affective cognitive challenges like the Multisource Interference Task (MSIT). Methods: Here, we u

We have performed tunnel transport spectroscopy on a quantum dot (QD) molecule proximitized by a superconducting contact. In such a system, the scattering between QD spins and Bogoliubov quasiparticles leads to the formation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. In this work, we investigate interactions appearing when one- and two-electron spin states in a double-QD ener

Aims: To assess hospital-based care, work absence, associated costs, and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without established cardiovascular disease (eCVD) compared to matched controls. Materials and methods: In a population-based cohort study, we analysed individual-level data from national health, social insurance and socio-economic registers for people diagnosed with type 2 d

Over the last decade, the family of galectin proteins has been identified as key regulators of important biological processes. They bind β-D-galactopyranoside residues in glycoconjugates, and by presenting multiple binding sites, within one galectin or by forming dimers or multimers, they can cross-link glycoproteins and form galectin-glycoprotein lattices. Such lattices formed on the cell surface

Automotive interior components are produced by injection moulding due to its cost effectiveness in mass production. The surfaces of these components are textured to control the appearance and other surface functional properties such as wear and scratch resistance. Key challenges lie in replicating the features of mould tool with high aspect ratio which are influenced by the polymer and large numbe

Purpose: To investigate the possibility to be able to offer left sided breast cancer patients, not suitable for DIBH, an organ at risk saving treatment. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients receiving radiotherapy for left breast cancer in DIBH were enrolled in the study. Planning CT scans were acquired in the same supine treatment position in FB and DIBH. 3DCRT_DIBH plans were designed and optim
