Arbetet med att identifiera och inventera förorenade områden är en del av Sveriges miljökvalitetsmål. Regeringen har fastställt 16 mål, och ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö. För att våra kommande generationer ska få leva i en miljö fri från föroreningar behöver vi städa upp efter nuvarande och tidigare farliga utsläpp. Landets länsstyrelser har fått i uppdrag av Regeringen att genomföra identifiering
The debate on Nordic defense cooperation has surged in the recent year as a result from a perceived shift in the security environment. The study focuses on the five Nordic states; all of them committed to different security communities and yet engaged in cooperative measures with each other. With the question of exploring the prerequisites for a possible deepening of the Nordic defense cooperatio

Bluespec SystemVerilog (BSV) is a declarative hardware description language based on a synthesizable subset of System Verilog. Developing with BSV means so far to use scripts for existing editors, which enable highlighting and seldom support of the BSV compiler. The absence of a real IDE for BSV makes writing programs an inconvenient task. This project tries to improve this by providing an BSV Ec
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett fonetogram är ett diagram som beskriver röstfunktionens status genom att visa extremvärden av ljudtrycksnivå som funktion av grundtonsfrekvens. Tillvägagångssättet är att försökspersonen uttalar en vokal, i denna avhandling genomgående vokalen [a], på en given tonhöjd så svagt och så starkt som möjligt inom hela röstomfånget. Provet utföres i ett ljudisolerat rum meA phonetogram is a diagram displaying sound pressure levels (SPL) of softest and loudest possible phonation over the entire fundamental frequency range (F0) of a voice. Female singers mean phonetogram had a significantly higher upper contour than female nonsingers. When reading at various voice levels female singers produced markedly higher mean equivalent sound pressure levels (Leq) and mean rel
The growing complexity of signal processing algorithms and platforms poses significant challenges to design methods and implementation tools. High-level dataflow programs, such as those in MPEG's RVC-CAL language, provide abstraction and the opportunity for extensive design-space exploration, but they do raise the problem of efficient automatic synthesis to hardware and software. This paper presen
ObjectivesThis article aims to find country-level factors that explain the rise of populist parties in European democracies. While populism is often connected to inequality, we not that right-wing populist parties tend to thrive on fear, including fear of job loss. If flexible labor markets mean that unemployment is dedramatized because finding a new job is easier, labor market flexibility could d
There is growing evidence that the environment experienced by one generation can influence phenotypes in the next generation via transgenerational plasticity (TGP). One of the best-studied examples of TGP in animals is predator-induced transgenerational plasticity, whereby exposing parents to predation risk triggers changes in offspring phenotypes. Yet, there is a lack of general consensus synthes
Patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) are at risk of having infective endocarditis (IE). The objectives were to describe a Swedish population-based cohort of patients with CIED and SAB, to identify risk factors, and to construct a predictive score for IE. Patients over 18 years old in the Stockholm Region identified to have SAB in th
Objective: Real-life management of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. Methods: A survey was conducted in 2023 by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) to assess management of CKD patients referred to ESH-Hypertension Excellence Centres (ESH-ECs) at first referral visit. The questionnaire contained 64 questions with which ESH-ECs representatives were asked to e
Decadal trends in the atmospheric abundances of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) have been well characterised and have provided a time series of global total emissions. Information on locations of emissions contributing to the global total, however, is currently poor. We use a unique set of measurements between 2008 and 2015 from the Gosan station, Jeju Island, South Korea
In March 2003, the United States' armed forces and their allies invaded Iraq. Today, more than three years later, those armed forces are still there. An extended military operation like this requires a massive amount of soldiers. To be able to provide adequate security and fulfill all the jobs required to maintain the armed forces in Iraq, the United States' government and its' subdivi
The biogenesis of transfer RNA is a process that requires many different factors. In this study, we describe a genetic screen aimed to identify gene products participating in this process. By screening for mutations lethal in combination with a sup61-T47:2C allele, coding for a mutant form of, the nonessential TAN1 gene was identified. We show that the TAN1 gene product is required for formation o
Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som
Job stress and burnout are highly prevalent in healthcare professionals, and nurses in particular. Given its deleterious consequences not only for professionals’ well-being but also for patients and organizations, it is important to have adequate measures to assess professional quality of life. This study aimed to offer a contribution for the Portuguese validation of the Professional Quality of Li
The Forms of Self-criticizing/Attacking and Self-reassuring Scale (FSCRS) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses the forms of self-criticism and self-reassurance. The aim of this study was to explore the latent structure of the FSCRS in nonclinical and clinical samples. Data from 381 participants from the general population and from 304 participants from clinical settings were subjected to c
Objective: There has been a growing interest in the concept of self-compassion in Eastern psychology. The aim of the present study was to explore the dimensionality of the widely used Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; long and short versions) in both clinical and nonclinical samples Method: Several confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were computed in a mixed clinical (n = 316) and a nonclinical sample (
Abstract Background: The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Trauma Specific (AAQ-TS) is a self-report measure designed to assess-trauma-related psychological (in)flexibility, as conceptualized in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. However, there are no studies to date regarding its psychometric properties. This study explores such properties in the Portuguese version of the AAQ-TS, in Portuguese
