The paper follows the development of the tourism industry in a small, traditional mining town in northern Sweden. It highlights local agency in the diversification process, as well as interpath relations between tourism and mining. Drawing on 21 semi-structured interviews, the paper finds that the two seemingly unrelated paths share the need for a variety of local endowments and in so the dominant

Background: Appendicitis is the most common disease requiring acute abdominal surgery in children, yet the pathogenesis of appendicitis is not fully understood. It can be challenging to diagnose appendicitis clinically, especially in young children, leading to high rates of initial misdiagnosis. It is not clear why some children are affected by a complicated disease course while others recover spo

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have inherent characteristics, which require specific solutions for improving the sustainability performance of their operations. The purpose of this paper is to increase the knowledge on barriers and enablers for the adoption of sustainable manufacturing by manufacturing SMEs and to provide insights into what enablers can be used to overcome existing bar

Insufficient nursing care is a major threat to a patient’s safety. Despite the development of evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) guiding the delivery of high-quality and effective nursing care, research presents an inadequate implementation of EBGs in clinical practice. Patients who appear to receive insufficient nursing care are older patients (≥65 years) with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), a

We present a study of the optical properties of various steps in the process of fabricating micro light-emitting diodes (μ-LEDs) based on quantum wells embedded in micron-sized InGaN platelets. In this study, we focus on structures for red emission, but the technology is equally suitable for the less technologically challenging blue and green emitting μ-LEDs. The starting point is growth of an InG

The interface between wurtzite and zinc blende InP has been identified as type-II, where electrons gather on the zinc blende side and holes on the wurtzite side of the interface. The photoluminescence resulting from recombination across the interface is expected to be long-lived and to exhibit non-exponential decay of emission intensity after pulsed excitation. We verify this prediction using time

This paper investigates the heat transfer on the outlet guide vane (OGV) surface and its endwall region. The Reynolds number is fixed at 300,000 and the flow is subsonic. The inlet flow angle is varied from +25°(on-design), to +40°and -25°(off-design). Experiments were conducted in a linear cascade test facility using thermochromic liquid crystal technique. Numerical simulations using RANS were ca

Systematic studies of charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV used to probe the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) are presented. These measurements are performed for charged particles in the pseudorapidity (η) and transverse momentum (pT) ranges |η| < 0.8 and 0.2 < pT< 5 GeV/c. A significant charge-dependent signal that becomes more pronounce

The interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data is of interest in a number of fields. In Ögren (2014) local boundary conditions for random walk simulations of NMR relaxation in digital domains were presented. Here, we have applied those boundary conditions to large, three-dimensional (3D) porous media samples. We compared the random walk results with known solutions and then applied th

Liquid–liquid two-phase flow in microchannel is very common in micro-chemical and micro-biological system, etc. Deep understanding of the liquid–liquid two-phase flow mechanisms and mass transfer in microchannel can promote industrial applications significantly. To summarize the recent research progress on the liquid–liquid two-phase flow in microchannel, this paper collects research work about th

Context. NGC 1851 is one of several globular clusters for which multiple stellar populations of the subgiant branch have been clearly identified and a difference in metallicity detected. A crucial piece of information on the formation history of this cluster can be provided by the sum of A(C+N+O) abundances. However, these values have lacked a general consensus thus far. The separation of the subg

Further development and design of piezoelectric composites enhances the improved use of piezoelectric materials and devices by overcoming their brittleness. In order to engineer this class of materials and to predictably simulate its behaviour, a computationally efficient constitutive model is established in this paper. This contribution deals with the development of a model for piezoelectric comp

Hot carrier effects have been observed in recent measurements of III–Nitride (III–N) light-emitting diodes. In this paper we carry out bipolar Monte Carlo simulations for electrons and holes in a typical III–N multi-quantum well (MQW) LED. According to our simulations, significant non-quasiequilibrium carrier distributions exist in the barrier layers of the structure. This is observed as average c

Aims. We aim to constrain the mixing processes in low-mass stars by investigating the behaviour of the Li surface abundance after the main sequence. We take advantage of the data from the sixth internal data release of Gaia-ESO, IDR6, and from the Gaia Early Data Release 3, EDR3s. Methods. We selected a sample of main-sequence, sub-giant, and giant stars in which the Li abundance is measured by th

CITY KNOW-HOW: Human health and planetary health are both influenced by city lifestyles, city leadership, and city development. For both, worrying trends are leading to increasing concern. It is imperative that both become core foci in urban policy. Changing the trajectory will require concerted action. The journal Cities & Health journal is dedicated to supporting the flow of knowledge, in al

Particle physics has an ambitious and broad experimental programme for the coming decades. This programme requires large investments in detector hardware, either to build new facilities and experiments, or to upgrade existing ones. Similarly, it requires commensurate investment in the R&D of software to acquire, manage, process, and analyse the shear amounts of data to be recorded. In planning
