Voltage decay during cycling is still a major issue for Li-rich cathodes in lithium ion batteries. Recently, the increase of Ni content has been recognized as an effective way to mitigate this problem, although it leads to lower-capacity materials. To find a balance between voltage decay and high capacity, particles of Li-rich materials with concentration gradients of transition metals have been p
The electricity market exhibits significant uncertainty arising from rapid fluctuations in prices, variations in load demand, and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. Effectively managing residential energy under these dynamic conditions is a challenging task. Demand Response (DR) offers a practical solution by enabling the flexible scheduling of energy consumption in response to
Diabetes is a growing global problem, with hundreds of millions of people living with the disease worldwide. Diabetes can be divided into two major subtypes, autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D), and type 2 diabetes (T2D), which has stronger causal links in obesity, lifestyle, and age. Although immunity and inflammation are clearly defined in T1D, it is also understood that inflammation has a role in
Adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (T(regs)) has been proposed for use as a cellular therapy to induce transplantation tolerance. Preclinical data are encouraging, and clinical trials with T(reg) therapy are anticipated. In this study, we investigate different strategies for the isolation and expansion of CD4(+) CD25(high) CD127(low) T(regs) from uraemic patients. We use allogeneic dendritic
Background Parathyroid surgery is an appropriate alternative for renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT) in patients in whom medical therapy fails. European morbidity and outcome data for clearly defined cohorts, potentially reflecting contemporary clinical practice, remain scarce. Method Data were extracted from the EUROCRINE® database on all operations for secondary rHPT between 1 January 2015 and 31 D
Collective action by small-scale farmers can contribute significantly toward rural development. One important aspect that remains relatively neglected, especially in research set in Africa, is the role of farmer collectives in political processes. We study the local-level dynamics of a farmer-based organization mobilizing for agroecology and food sovereignty in Uganda. Through qualitative, collabo
The real-time interface chemistry between the lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) working electrode and the LiClO4/propylene carbonate (PC) electrolyte is investigated during lithiation/delithiation using dip-and-pull ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). The APXPS results appear to exhibit the seldom discussed Co2+ state in the LCO structure, where the operando measurements indicate electro
Global water scarcity requires innovative treatment solutions. This presentation explores three membrane-based concepts advancing from idea to pilot scale: stormwater harvesting with micro-/ultrafiltration (MF/UF), direct membrane filtration (DMF) for wastewater treatment, and a hybrid forward osmosis (FO), membrane distillation (MD), and nanofiltration (NF) system for seawater desalination.The EU
IntroductionGlobal water scarcity requires new approaches for water treatment. Membrane technology has proven itself as key technology for water treatment from seawater desalination with reverse osmosis to wastewater treatment with membrane bioreactors. In this presentation three new water treatment concepts based on membrane technology and their development from idea to pilot scale testing will b
Boron-doped diamond (BDD) films were synthesized via microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at five boron-to-carbon ratios to investigate dopant effects on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) electrooxidation and electrode stability. Raman spectroscopy revealed that excessive boron (≥10k ppm) produced sp²-rich regions indicative of structural degradation. Electrodes optimized at ∼10k ppm bo
Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) is a rare but life-threatening complication of transfusion. We herein report a case of anti-Jkb IgM-related AHTR. Two hours after an 80-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome received a packed red blood cell (RBC) A+/Rh-/Jkb+/c- transfusion, he developed acute respiratory failure and a fever. Although he had tested negative in routine screening tests
Para Alpine skiing is one of the largest sports at the Paralympic Winter Games. Recent studies report high injury rates in this sport. However, limited evidence exists regarding sport-specific injury characteristics, which is essential for targeted prevention. The aim of this study was to describe the overall incidence proportion and incidence of injuries reported by athletes participating in Alpi
Sustainability goals regarding biobased chemicals and fuels can lead to increased demand for cereal straw, which could lead to undesirable effects on soil organic matter (SOM) content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of removing straw on SOM, using a life cycle approach based on agricultural statistics and soil carbon modelling. This regional evaluation in southern Sweden showed
Yangia sp. ND199 is a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from mangrove samples in Northern Vietnam, which was earlier reported to grow on several sugars and glycerol to accumulate poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA). In this study, the potential of the bacterium for co-production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) and PHA was investigated. Genome sequence analysis of the closely related Yangia sp. CCB-M3
Maria Nordväst (MN) är en integrerad verksamhet i Helsingborg som omfattar fyra kommuner samt Region Skånes Vuxenpsykiatri och Barn- och ungdomspsykiatri. MN har som uppgift att erbjuda rådgivning och behandling till unga upp till 25 år som har problem med alkohol och/eller andra droger. I samband med uppstarten av verksamheten år 2013 genomfördes en lärande utvärdering. Syftet var att utvärdera h
I denna studie genomförs en uppdaterad analys av potentialen för en ökad tillförsel av biomassa från skog, jordbruk och akvatiska system i Sverige till 2030 respektive 2050. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i en tidigare potentialstudie från 2016 men där potentialen för respektive biomassakategori justerats efter de omvärldsförändringar som skett och ny kunskap som tagits fram under de senaste fem åreThis study include an updated analysis of the potential increase in the supply of biomass from forest, agriculture and aquaculture in Sweden until 2030 and 2050, respectively. The study is based on a previous assessment from 2016 but where the potential of different categories of biomass feedstocks is revised according to new knowledge and changed conditions during the last five years. The estimat
This paper examines the aftermath of the 1897 Riksbank Act in Swedish banking. The Act placed banks with unlimited and limited liability upon equal footing, removing the note issuing privileges of the former. We consider whether changes in risk preferences occurred subsequent to the Act, or whether extended liability was a sufficient deterrent. We conclude that when legal differences were removed,
This research aimed to evaluate a microbial fuel cell (MFC) device equipped with a novel composite polymer-electrolyte membrane consisting of the metal-organic framework and sulfonated polysulfone (SPSU/MIL-100(Fe)) for simultaneous treatment of meat poultry wastewater and power generation. The composite SPSU/MIL-100(Fe) membranes were fabricated by solution casting of polymer and characterized to
In Bolivia climate change and anthropogenic activities such as extensive agriculture, industries and urbanization have increased the groundwater demand and extraction, which is leading to severe stress on groundwater resources in several regions of Bolivia. This research aims to present an overview of different geophysical surveys performed in Valle Alto (central Bolivia), in particular in the Pun
