Denna rapport redovisar resultaten från en undersökning av huruvida en brandskyddsimpregnerad träfasad har bibehållit sin brandtekniska funktion efter några års naturlig väderexponering. Bakgrunden är att denna typ av behandling ofta används för att uppfylla brandskyddskrav och normalt verifieras genom åldring enligt EN 16755 EXT. Samtidigt finns en växande osäkerhet kring om den artificiella åldr

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Swedish men. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)-based screening reduces metastatic disease and prostate cancer mortality but can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Diagnostic advances, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have reduced the detection of low-risk disease and paved the way for population-based early detection initia

While low-cost sensors (LCS) are increasingly utilized, validation remains limited for indoor environments characterized by high-concentration biomass burning. Sensirion SPS30 and SEN55 OEM sensors show promising precision and accuracy under ambient conditions. Manufacturer specifications define a measurement range of <1000 µg/m3, but for applications in low-resource settings their performance und

This study investigates how γ-tubulin and the centrosome contribute to interphase centromere dynamics and nuclear organization. Although classically associated with mitotic microtubule nucleation, here we show that γ-tubulin associates with chromatin and is enriched within centromere defined volumes. Using live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, we deteThis study investigates how γ-tubulin and the centrosome contribute to interphase centromere dynamics and nuclear organization.

Localization is fundamental in many applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, emergency services, and wireless communication systems. The achievable localization accuracy depends on the information provided by the measurements, which is shaped by sensor placement, spatial resolution, sampling rate, synchronization accuracy, calibration, noise levels, and environmental effects such as m

Microplastics are pervasive in inland waters, yet large-scale association patterns of abundance and traits remain unclear. Here we compiled a global lake database integrating surface-water and sediment observations with 56 hydroclimatic and anthropogenic indicators. Most hydroclimatic variables show positive associations with abundance in surface waters but act oppositely in sediments. Leading con

The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus provides a critical framework for addressing interdependencies among these resources in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where limited water, arid climate, high energy demand, and growing populations pose significant sustainability challenges. Over-exploitation of groundwater in Yemen, energy-dependent desalination in Saudi Arabia, and water stress in Moro

Real-time River flow forecasting is essential for optimal operation of water resources systems, especially reservoir dams. However, due to the high complexity of hydro-climatological events, real-time forecasting is very difficult and often error prone. Therefore, improved methods need to be developed for mid-term prediction models for river flows, especially for inflows to dam reservoirs. For thi

Since the 1970s, the number of physical Swedish courthouses has decreased substantially. Courts are now situated in the larger cities, servicing greater geographical areas and populations, ultimately increasing remote participation for people without local courthouses.

Over the past decade, circular strategies have been gaining momentum in the construction sector in an effort to reduce resource consumption, waste generation and environmental impacts. This transition requires not only changes in the construction process but also transformations in the constellation of actors involved. Previous research has mapped actors in circular construction and emphasised the

The vehicle routing problem is one of the most often studied optimization problems. In this study, an improved artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed which is structured specifically to address the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP), a significant challenge in combinatorial optimization. The proposed algorithm integrates several novel features to improve its performance on CVRP

Electrification of regional railway systems constitutes a promising strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving air quality in the transportation sector. While full electrification via overhead line equipment (OLE) is technically viable for high-density corridors, it is often not economically justified on low-traffic routes due to high infrastructure costs relative to usage

Efficient energy management is a key challenge for regional train services,especially when considering the seasonal variation in auxiliary energy demands such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). This studyexplores how adjusting the maximum operational speed of regional trains canoptimize energy consumption without exceeding design limits or necessitating larger battery sizes. By
