Our existing urban environment has a significant potential to increase the use of renewable energy, mainly by using solar irradiation for heat and electricity. Quantification of the solar potential by means of a solar map is the first step in the acceleration process for using more solar energy in our urban environments. A solar map is a GIS system providing the annual solar irradiation on buildin

The paper provides an overview and preliminary results from ongoing research with the aim to evolve cross-laminated timber (CLT) into the next generation of Tailored Laminated Timber (TLT). This is done by exploring innovative concepts that optimize the mechanical performance, while simultaneously ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. The current study aims at investigating the potent

Science, technology and innovation (STI) are widely perceived as critical factors for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda defined STI as the central means of sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goal 17 has three targets that focus on technology transfer, and the United Nations Technology Facilitation Mechanism was launched to promote multi-stakeholder collaboration. While STI

This study delves into the landscape of health applications within online markets. These applications, offering health-related functionalities, have become integral to the lives of European citizens. The transformation of healthcare delivery, accelerated by the pace of modern life and accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has elevated health applications from conveniences to essential tools capabl

BACKGROUND: A synthetic oxytocin analogue, barusiban, was shown to potently inhibit oxytocin-induced activity of myometrium from term pregnant women. The responsiveness to vasopressin was not influenced by the compound. OBJECTIVE: To test the effect of barusiban and a reference compound, atosiban, on oxytocin-induced activity of myometrium from women at preterm pregnancy in comparison to myometriu

This study aimed to find out how the insulation of the footwear changes over one week of use. A thermal foot model with 8 measuring zones and 5 “sweat glands” was used for tests. A thin sock was donned on the model to allow better water distribution all over the foot surface. Four boots were tested over a period of 5 days. Each day was divided into 9 hour measurement period and 15 hour conditionin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet med kollektivtrafik är bl a att anordna transportförsörjning för alla samhällsgrupper på ett samhällsekonomiskt effektivt vis. En grupp medborgare är rullstolsburna resenärer, vars speciella förutsättningar ställer särskilda krav på transportsystemets utformning. För att utröna dessa speciella förutsättningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt, är det viktigt att man anläggEliciting wheelchair-seated passengers’ perspective of safety and comfort is both useful and mandatory, particularly for researchers, clinicians, transit authorities, and for operators during purchase and use of vehicle technologies in existing and planned future transport systems. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived

Infrared laser-induced grating spectroscopy (IR-LIGS) is a powerful method for the detection of molecules in atmospheric and combustion chemistry by exploiting their strong and species-specific fundamental vibrations. This work discusses potentials and limitations of the method.

Corrosion of cables can result in brittle and unexpected failures and represents a critical concern for prestressed concrete bridges with post-tensioned (PT) tendons. In these structures, corrosion is typically facilitated by inadequate grout injection and/or the use of poor-quality mortar during construction. Such deficiencies create favorable conditions for corrosion initiation and propagation.

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has previously been shown to be associated with cancer-related fatigue. If vitamin D deficiency affects fatigue in frail elderly has not been studied before. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between vitamin D, fatigue, frailty, and sarcopenia in frail elderly with cancer (FEC) and without cancer (FE) in comparison with healthy controls. Metho

The movement of XbaI digested O-DNA in 20 nanometer and O-DNA in 12 nanometer high slits was investigated. We found that DNA moved intermittently and following preferential pathways, indicating an important influence of surface roughness. From these intermittent movements two different mobilities were calculated, the total averaged mobilities and averaged mobilities between the intermittent sticki

Background: Bladder cancer is categorized as non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) or muscle invasive (MIBC). NIMBC makes up around 70% of the cases and although it is less aggressive, the recurrence rate is 50-70%, thus requiring extensive monitoring. Additionally, there is a risk of progression into MIBC with a 5-year survival of only 50% even when treated with radical cystectomy. Immune checkpoint inhibi

Introduction: Anxiety disorders are common and debilitating in children and adolescents. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), delivered both in-person and by the internet (ICBT), is efficacious, but access for young individuals is limited and it remains unclear how to structure the care pathway to maximize benefit.Methods: To inform a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT), a pilot RCT wil
