The interest in carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) is growing due to their high strength and stiffness compared to their weight, in industries such as automotive and aerospace. This creates a high demand for more effective production methods. Volumetric induction heating of the electrically conductive carbon fibres enable unmatched heat rates and can be used both during manufacturing and join
This study investigates the relationship between passenger volumes and the frequency and size of dwell times for commuter trains. We use data collected by automatic passenger count systems in Stockholm and show that dwell times often take longer than scheduled. To understand the effect of passenger volumes on delays, we use the frequencies of delays for different passenger volumes and delay sizes.
Introduction: While timely assessment of long-term survival for patients with liver cancer is essential for the evaluation of early detection and screening programs of liver cancer, those data are extremely scarce in China. We aimed to timely and accurately assess long-term survival for liver cancer patients in eastern China.Methods: Patients diagnosed with liver cancer during 2004-2018 from four
Dominant policy approaches have failed to generate action at anywhere near the rate, scale or depth needed to avert climate change and environmental disaster. In particular, they fail to address the need for a fundamental cultural transformation, which involves a collective shift in mindsets (values, beliefs, worldviews and associated inner human capacities). Whilst scholars and practitioners are
Background: In Sierra Leone persons with disabilities are at higher risk of living in poverty and have poor access to a fragile healthcare and rehabilitation services. The aim was to explore stakeholders’ perceptions of access to health and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone. Methods: Seven focus group discussions, including stakeholders working within the field
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Increased level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with type 1 diabetes onset that in turn is preceded by one to several autoantibodies against the pancreatic islet beta cell autoantigens; insulin (IA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), islet antigen-2 (IA-2) and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8). The risk for type 1 diabetes diagnosis increases by autoantibody number. Bi
This research intends to explore the mental health of female Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Specifically, it analyzes reasons for mental disorders and how Rohingya women cope, from the perspectives of humanitarian aid workers. Mental disorders are defined from a universalist perspective and the analysis is guided by theoretical frameworks of Tay et. al (2018) and Kleinman (1978). The research de
The politicization of scientific facts, such as climate change, is a highly debated phenomenon in the US. It is well established that climate change is both real, and human-caused. Still, significant parts of the American political community refuse to adhere to this scientific fact. During the Trump administration this resulted in the American Environmental Protection Agency becoming the focal poi
Mobilizing for increased human rights and democratization in authoritarian states comes with great costs and risks. The post-soviet country of Belarus is often referred to as a textbook example of a consolidated authoritarian state. Despite several attempts, Belarusian society has yet to move towards a democratic transition. The incumbent regime seems to adapt to democratic challenges and stepped
ndia ranges among the countries experiencing most water stress in recent years, while being a major virtual water net exporter. The country’s position relative to its water sources exacerbated since its trade liberalization in the early 1990’s, which calls for a future national water crisis. To comprehend India’s water stress, this study aims to examine the country’s agricultural water use at thre
Flexible Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a plastic material commonly used in today’s society and a fundamental material for a lot of sectors. It has advantages over other polymers such as energy-efficient production, flame retardancy, durability and cost-effective. The one important component in flexible PVC that gives it is flexible properties is the plasticizer. The most common plasticizers used are
Cell death is an important field of biology that is linked to many other topics in medicine and biology. One of the methods to investigate cell death is through high content screening (HCS) which makes use of robotic microscopy. By this technology, cell death associated organelle membrane permeabilisation and the localisation of certain dyes can be visualised and elucidate a substantial amount of
Alzheimer’s disease is a severe neurodegenerative disease, affecting the life of millions of patients and those who stand close to them. There is an urgent need for new effective medical treatments targeting this disease, as up to now, there is none. GPR3, a highly constitutively active orphan G protein coupled receptor, was found to interact with several different molecules that are known to play
Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat
Sedan den 24 februari 2022 har Europeiska unionen stått inför ett konventionellt krig på sin tröskel och en ökad geopolitisk spänning från öst. Detta har krävt av Rådet att agera snabbt och kraftfullt inom ramen för sin kompetens för den gemensamma utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiken. För att motverka Rysslands aggression har rådet utfärdat omfattande sanktionspaket som aldrig tidigare har använts i sSince 24 February 2022, the European Union has faced a conventional war on its doorstep and an increase in geopolitical tension with the East. This has required the Council to act quickly and forcefully within its competence in the area of Common Foreign and Security Policy.

Alongside global acknowledgements of the gendered nature of conflict, the academic field of transitional justice is shifting towards the newly emerging concept of transformative justice. Within this, reparations are particularly seen as the most agent-centric tool for structural transformation. In northeastern Nigeria, the conflict between Boko Haram and the state has seen a prevalence of conflict
Voyage charterparties, as one of the most common carriage contracts, has its own specific provisions which govern the legal relationship of the engaged parties. One of those specifications relates to the concept of laytime which is defined as the time during which the charterer can load or discharge the cargo. In this work the author tries to discuss the requirements that should be fulfilled to co
This study aims to explore the influence that stigma and beliefs have on the disability-related help-seeking for children with intellectual disabilities in Kampala, Uganda. These children are regarded as one of the most neglected groups in developing countries, where access to rehabilitation services frequently is restricted starkly, and beliefs and stigma are believed to interfere in the process
