Achieving a robust ignition with minimal spark plug wear is challenging in heavy duty engines fueled with gaseous fuels like biogas and hydrogen. Thermal energy deposition from the spark to the gas was studied in a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. An AC capacitive ignition system was used along with a dual-nickel standard J-gap spark plug and the influence of multiple physical and e

Across different domains, justice is considered either from a perspective concerning mind-independent features of a situation or from a perspective related to mind-dependent motives, traits or emotions. Although these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain largely disconnected from each other. What is missing is an integrative framework that can explain how the objective features

Inflammation has been proposed to play a role in the generation of depressive symptoms. Previously, we demonstrated that patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have increased plasma levels of the soluble form of the urokinase receptor (suPAR), a marker for low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute exercise would induce inflammatory response characte

SammanfattningRapporten är en del av slututvärderingen av Landsbygdsprogram för Sverige 2007-2013 och har tagits fram på uppdrag av Jordbruksverket. Den redovisar resultat och effekter som uppnåddes genom miljö- och klimatåtgärderna inom landsbygdsprogrammet, vilket omfattar samtliga insatser och ersättningar i axel 2, samt miljö- och klimatrelaterade utvärderingsfrågor för en del åtgärder i axel

Presenterar Crusenstolpes erfarenheter av Lund och Lunds universitet med fokus på hans samtidsroman Tvenne äktenskap (1847).

Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate

Background: To determine the feasibility and efficacy of a retinal telephotocoagulation treatment plan for diabetic macular edema. Methods: Prospective, interventional cohort study at two clinical sites. Sixteen eyes of ten subjects with diabetic macular edema underwent navigated focal laser photocoagulation using a novel teleretinal treatment plan. Clinic 1 (King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, R

Background: A dysfunctional use of coping strategies has repeatedly been linked to suicidal behaviour in non-psychiatric populations. However, data regarding association between coping strategies and suicidal behaviour in psychiatric populations are limited. Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the possible relationship between self-reported suicide risk, suicidal ideation and coping stra

Parasites can vary in the number of host species they infect, a trait known as “host specificity”. Here we quantify phylogenetic signal—the tendency for closely related species to resemble each other more than distantly related species—in host specificity of avian haemosporidian parasites (genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon) using data from MalAvi, the global avian haemosporidian da

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor världen över och den står för omkring 30% av all cancer hos kvinnor i Sverige. Varje år får ca 7000 kvinnor i Sverige diagnosen och man räknar att ca en av tio kvinnor insjuknar under sin livstid. Trots att så många får bröstcancer så är det betydligt färre kvinnor som dör av bröstcancer; för närvarande ca 1500 per The aim of this thesis was to study reproductive factors and genetic polymorphisms in relation to breast cancer risk and survival. An important component of this was to investigate the risk of specific breast cancer subgroups. The association between parity and breast cancer-specific survival was studied among 4,453 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Malmö, Sweden. It was found that: • Nullipar
