På uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket har avdelningen för Arbets- ochmiljömedicin vid Lunds Universitet utfört en kunskapsinventering blandlandets kommuner kring luftkvalitén på förskolebarns utemiljöer ocheffekter/strategier för att eventuellt förbättra detta. Denna inventeringgenomfördes under hösten 2018 och början av 2019 och ska ligga till grundför det Hälsorelaterade Miljöövervaknings projektet ”Lu

We present an efficient fiber source designed for continuous-wave differential absorption light detection and ranging (CW DIAL) of atmospheric CO 2 -concentration. It has a linewidth of 3 MHz, a tuning range of 2 nm over the CO 2 absorption peaks at 1.572 µm, and an output power of 1.3 W limited by available pump power. Results from the initial CW DIAL testing are also presented and discussed.

Denna rapport redovisar resultaten från ett pilotprojekt i ett större EU baserat Citizen Science projektsom initierats av EEA (European Environmental Agency Area) och ska bidra med kunskap om hurett större Citizen Science projekt kan organiseras när det gäller utskick av information ochutdelning/uppsamling av mätutrustning för luftkvalitetmätningar.Studien är finansierad av Naturvårdsverket och sy

Experiments on the excitation of propagating surface plasmons (SPs) by an ultrashort, high intensity laser interaction with grating targets are reviewed. At intensities exceeding 10 19 W cm -2 on target, i.e., in the strongly relativistic regime of electron dynamics, multi-megaelectronvolt electrons are accelerated by the SP field as dense bunches collimated in a near-tangent direction. By the

Background Pulmonary hypoplasia, characterized by incomplete alveolar development, remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Recently demonstrated to differentiate from a common bipotent progenitor during development, the two cell types that line the alveoli type 1 and type 2 alveolar cells have shown to alter their relative ratio in congenital diaphragm

Despite emergency and essential surgery and anaesthesia care being recognised as a part of Universal Health Coverage, 5 billion people worldwide lack access to safe, timely and affordable surgery and anaesthesia care. In Tanzania, 19% of all deaths and 17 % of disability-adjusted life years are attributable to conditions amenable to surgery. It is recommended that countries develop and implement N

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important phenomenon in terms of global particle number concentrations. Here we investigated the frequency of NPF, formation rates of 10 nm particles, and growth rates in the size range of 10–25 nm using at least 1 year of aerosol number size-distribution observations at 36 different locations around the world. The majo

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations alongside with submicrometer particle number size distributions and particle chemical composition have been measured at atmospheric observatories of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) as well as other international sites over multiple years. Here, harmonized data records from 11 observatories are summarized,

Field observations of new particle formation and the subsequent particle growth are typically only possible at a fixed measurement location, and hence do not follow the temporal evolution of an air parcel in a Lagrangian sense. Standard analysis for determining formation and growth rates requires that the time-dependent formation rate and growth rate of the particles are spatially invariant; air p

Biofilm reactors are particularly suitable for the treatment of large amounts of diluted effluent, such as groundwater contaminated with scarcely soluble pollutants. A packed-bed column reactor was tested for the degradation of acenaphthene, phenanthrene and pyrene provided at their aqueous solubility concentrations. Acenapthene and phenanthrene were removed to more than 99% efficiency from this r

Measurements of the crystal size distribution performed over Southern Germany show that the effective diameter decrease 10-30% in cirrus clouds perturbed by aircraft. The reduction is more pronounced at higher cloud water content and is not observed at temperatures warmer than -30°C.

The ratio of the cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon production in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 13 and 8 TeV is measured using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The integrated luminosities of the 13 TeV and 8 TeV datasets are 3.2 fb −1 and 20.2 fb −1 , respectively. The ratio is measured as a function of the photon transverse energy in different regions of the photon pseudorap

I denna artikel presenterar vi arbete från EU projektet STARR och NordForsk projektet ActivAbles. Vi beskriver vår iterativa designprocess för ett aktivitetsspel för personer som har haft en stroke, och diskuterar designval och erfarenheter.In this paper we present work carried out in the EU project STARR and the NordForsk project ActivAbles. We report on the design and iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the iterative testing and outline potential future developments.
