Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates or sheets have become a common retrofitting approach for sustaining old reinforced concrete structures in the modern era. The capacity of FRP-strengthened structures cannot be accurately estimated because the bond strength between FRP and concrete surface is accurately unpredictable. Various studies are available in the literature to predict

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by myelin-specific autoreactive T cells. We previously demonstrated intestinal barrier disruption and signs of inflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of MS. Fecal calprotectin is a disease activity biomarker in inflammatory bowel diseases, released by neutrophils

Background: Extended reality (XR), encompassing technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, has rapidly gained prominence in health care. However, existing XR research often lacks rigor, proper controls, and standardization. Objective: To address this and to enhance the transparency and quality of reporting in early-phase clinical evaluations of XR applications, we

This study is a literature review of three market-based instruments used for land management; environmental offsets, payments for ecosystem services (PES) and certification, and how they could be used to mitigate environmental impacts from sugarcane cultivation in Brazil when purchasing biopolymers. The study showed that certification is the most common market-based instrument in Brazil. Offset an

Vision sensors are of increasing interest for non-intrusive, remote measurements in industrial as well as consumer products. Their operation is based on intelligent techniques for image understanding, followed by robust quantification of the detected phenomenon. A well-known application area is movement detection and isolation. This paper discusses how movement can be detected and quantified by me

Modern Swedish hymns (written after 1960)and the relation between text-music. Overviews and special analyzes of hymns by Harry Martinson, Bo Setterlind, Arne H. Lindgren and Ylva Eggehorn among others.

A proactive strategy to respond effectively to health impacts related to climate variability, particularly within vulnerable populations, is of vital importance. Such a strategy can be attained if health officials have a deep understanding of how climate variability affects human health and if the resources available for the health care sector are sufficient. This study assessed the perceptions an

Synucleinopathies, characterized by intracellular aggregation of α-synuclein protein, share a number of features in pathology and disease progression. However, the vulnerable cell population differs significantly between the disorders, despite being caused by the same protein. While the vulnerability of dopamine cells in the substantia nigra to α-synuclein over-expression, and its link to Parkinso

Background: Integration of second-generation (2G) bioethanol production with existing first-generation (1G) production may facilitate commercial production of ethanol from cellulosic material. Since 2G hydrolysates have a low sugar concentration and 1G streams often have to be diluted prior to fermentation, mixing of streams is beneficial. Improved ethanol concentrations in the 2G production proce

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån vetenskapliga artiklar skapa ett preliminärt teoretiskt ramverk som ska hjälpa oss att analysera vår insamlade empiri. Genom empiriinsamling blir även syftet att undersöka vilka bolag på OMX Stockholmsbörsen som avviker från Koden, om bolagen avviker från samma punkter samt om det finns några gemensamma faktorer som kännetecknar bolagen som avviker. Vi använder

Syfte: Undersökningen syftar till att utreda den effekt införandet av en granskning, vid sidan av revisionen, av finansiella rapporter får på dels synen på redovisning och revision, dels den faktiska redovisningen. Uppsatsen syftar även till att diskutera möjligheten för Panelen att utföra den faktiska övervakningen av företagens finansiella rapporter. Metod: Då det studerade fenomenet är relativt

In the field of second language acquisition (SLA) it is an important question, which role the native language assumes in the acquisition of another language. Studies have shown that there exists a native language influence on a phonological and lexical level. The situation in syntax is however different. Here a native language influence (transfer) is not self-evident.

The basis of this paper is a comparative study, on the one hand of the frequency of saints' names among the women in medieval Denmark, and on the other of the occurrence of pictures of female saints in the same region. As to certain names, e g Catherine, Barbara and Anne, there is a correspondence of frequency and time, which suggests a deliberate popularization of the saints in question. Othr cas

The purpose of this study is to relate sociobiological theories of altruism to theories within the Christian tradition of agape. Firstly, it discusses the relation between scientific, ethical and theological understandings of altruism, and argues that it is possible to compare discussions of benevolent acts towards others or other-directedness. Such acts are determined in content by the extent an

de senaste fem åren har begreppet universellutformning fått ett allt större genomslag i den svenskafunktionshinderpolitiken. En viktig anledning till detta är att Sverige ratificerade den så kalladefunktionsrättskonventionen år 2008. I konventionenförs universell utformning fram som huvudprincip ochnationellt åtagande för allt nytt som skapas i samhället.Det innebär att alla nya produkter, varor,
