The heating effects of three PCM vests (Tmelt=32, 28 and 24 °C) were tested on a thermal manikin with constant temperature at 30 ºC in a subzero environment (Ta=-4 °C, Va=0.4 m/s). The results showed that the heating effects lasted about 3-4 hours. The highest heating effects reduced heat loss for 20-30 W/m2 on the torso during the first two hours. The results also showed that the vest with higher

The article is about the symbolic meanings of animal ornamentation in a long term perspective.

For a long time, many scholars would have answered that question in the positive; most of them would certainly have counted increasingly tolerant attitudes towards forms of religion that were once been regarded as unacceptable, as being one of those central features. In th

We identified several compounds, by gas chromatographic–electroantennographic detection (GC–EAD), that were antennally active in the bark beetle Ips typographus and also abundant in beetle-attacked spruce trees. One of them, 1,8-cineole (Ci), strongly inhibited the attraction to pheromone in the field. Single-sensillum recordings (SSRs) previously showed olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) on I. typ

Genom reflekterande återblickar på musikpedagogiskt fältarbete i Västafrika, fokuserar detta kapitel på musikaliskt inspirerade forskningsmetoder och pedagogisk utveckling. Nyckelhändelsen är en intervju utförd i ett musikerhem i Basse, Gambia, ett samtal som får tjäna som typexempel på möjligheter i kulturellt gränsöverskridande forskning: Här tar min ”informant” rollen som medforskare, medan de

Different reasons are given as to why children and their parents should be involved in discussions and decisions regarding the child’s care. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child formulates the needs of children and young people in terms of human rights.
