Reliable safe water supply is a pillar of society and a key to public health. The Nordic countries have an abundance of clean fresh water as a source for drinking water supplies. They have followed developments in safeguarding water, both the recommendations of the World Health Organization framework for safe drinking water and European legislation. Worldwide, including the Nordic countries, small

CRISPR är en revolutionerande teknik som möjliggör effektiv redigering av DNA.Kliniska studier med CRISPR-baserade terapier för blodsjukdomar och cancer pågår redan.Framtida tillämpningar av CRISPR kan förväntas bli breda men förutsätter etiska, juridiska och hälsoekonomiska överväganden.

Lung transplantation is an accepted treatment for end stage lung diseases and performed at two national centers in Sweden - Gothenburg and Lund. Since the start in 1990 over 1 200 patients have been transplanted. The indications are severe progressive lung diseases with short expected survival or severe negative effects on daily life. There are several contraindications among which severe other or

Phimosis in boys is a common condition. In the majority of cases it is physiological without symptoms. Symptomatic phimosis can often be treated successfully with local steroid cream - only a minority of patients need surgery. This study concludes that diagnosis, information to patients and guardians, initiation and follow-up of local steroid treatment can successfully, and safely, be delegated to

India is one of the most diverse media economies in the world and presents incredible opportunities for research in the field of media economics and management. At this point in time, we find that the often scattered contours of this area to some extent are a result of its checkered history and salience within the larger field of communication studies. All this has resulted in only a limited set o

Electric road systems (ERS) allows electric vehicles to charge while in motion, in turn possibly reducing the cost of the vehicle since the battery capacity can be reduced. Most conductive ERS seen today are DC and while static charging is possible from an ERS it is also often beneficial if the vehicle is able to charge from the AC grid as well. In this paper an electric powertrain with the chargi

This paper presents theoretical and practical analyses of four different design options for an electrically excited synchronous machine (EESM) with hollow field winding conductors for internal air cooling. This cooling concept allows for effective direct cooling of the windings.Simulations are performed for the electromagnetic evaluation of the proposed designs, while a plastic 3D printed rotor mo
