Long-term phenology monitoring has documented numerous examples of changing flowering dates during the last century. A pivotal question is whether these phenological responses are adaptive or not under directionally changing climatic conditions. We use a classic dynamic growth model for annual plants, based on optimal control theory, to find the fitness-maximizing flowering time, defined as the sw
The present study aimed to investigate how the impact of several factors linked to geography would shape life-history traits in a gregarious species, using the pine processionary moth (PPM) Thaumetopoea pityocampa as a model system. PPM has a wide geographical distribution over the Mediterranean Basin, and it is a strictly gregarious species throughout larval development, where the total reproduct
A comparison between three different types of particle sizing instruments (fast mobility particle sizer, FMPS; electrical low pressure impactor, ELPI; and scanning mobility particle sizer, SMPS) and one condensation particle counter (CPC) was made to compare instrument response in terms of size distributions and number concentration. Spherical oil droplets in 39 different sizes, with geometric mea
The Gaia mission has been designed to perform absolute astrometric measurements with unprecedented accuracy; the end-of-mission parallax standard error is required to be of the order of 10 mu as for the brightest stars (V= 10) and 30 mu as for a G2V-type star of magnitude 15. These requirements set a stringent constraint on the accuracy of the estimation of the location of the stellar image on the
In enology, "Brett" character refers to the wine spoilage caused by the yeast Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis and its production of volatile phenolic off-flavours. However, the spoilage potential of this yeast is strain-dependent. Therefore, a rapid and reliable recognition at the strain level is a key point to avoid serious economic losses. The present work provides an operative tool to assess
Currently available research suggests that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) creates a moist wound healing environment, drains exudate, reduces tissue edema, contracts the wound edges, mechanically stimulates the wound bed, and influences blood perfusion at the wound edge, which may lead to angiogenesis and the formation of granulation tissue. Although no clear evidence is available that NPWT
The aim of this study is to understand the mechanisms behind the diffusion of fired bricks in Hellenistic Europe, initiated in the north Aegean in the 4th century BC. To this end, a social diffusion model is used to simulate the available archaeological data pertaining to this process. The starting point in the construction of the model is the assumption that different categories of people contrib
A comparison was made between two plant peroxidases, cationic horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and anionic tobacco peroxidase (TOP), combined with a highly cationic osmium polymer [Os(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)2poly(N-vinylimidazole)10Cl]+2/+ ([Os(dmp)PVI]+/2+) to develop highly sensitive, stable and selective hydrogen peroxide biosensors. The two different plant peroxidases were individually immo
PurposeTo estimate Swedish experience-based value sets for EQ-5D health states using general population health survey data.MethodsApproximately 45,000 individuals valued their current health status by means of time trade off (TTO) and visual analogue scale (VAS) methods and answered the EQ-5D questionnaire, making it possible to model the association between the experience-based TTO and VAS values
Men with prostate cancer (n=25) were interviewed, focusing on experiences of micturition problems, indwelling catheter treatment and sexual life consequences. Narrations were found to be practical and technical descriptions rather than emotional, and experiences were described with reduction and negligence regarding personal well-being and the impact of problems. Phenomenological-hermeneutic analy
En bostads primära funktion är att skapa en avgränsad miljö som ger skydd och komfort mot omvärlden. Enligt utsökningsbalkens bestämmelser ska bostäder utmätas i sista hand eller när annan utmätningsbar egendom saknas. Bestämmelserna kring utmätning av bostäder återfinns i 4:3 UB samt 5:1 6p UB. Vid ett tvångsingripande mot en enskilds bostad ska rätten till hem och äganderättsskyddet i EKMR respeThe primary function of an home is to create a isolated environment that provides comfort and protection against the outside world. According to utsökningsbalkens provisions, an home shall be seized as a last resort or when all other kinds of property is missing. The provisions regarding seizure of homes are found in 4:3 UB and 5:1 6p UB. At a coercive action against an individual's residence,
Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en
Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin
Vätgas har potential i ett energilagringssystem eftersom det är en energibärare som är väldigt energirik och kan lagras i stor skala. Vätgas kan produceras enkelt via elektrolys av vatten och lagras i stora mängd under högt tryck, vid behov kan vätgasen sedan brännas i en kraftverksprocess och generera elektricitet. Då förbränning av vätgas med syrgas enbart bildar vattenånga kan ett förnybart eneHydrogen gas has potential to function as an energy storage solution due to its high energy content and its suitability for large scale storage. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and can be stored in large scale under high pressure, when needed the hydrogen can be burned in a thermal power plant to generate electricity. Since combustion of hydrogen with pure oxygen only yields steam,

Detta är en kvalitativ studie, vars syfte är att synliggöra socialarbetares upplevelser av digitala klientmöten. Våra intervjupersoner bestod av fyra frivårdsinspektörer från Frivården och tre socialsekreterare från Socialtjänsten, alla inom utredningsenheten. Intervjupersonernas medverkan har bidragit med kunskap inom forskningsområdet. Resultaten har analyserats med hjälp av tidigare forskning sThis is a qualitative study; whose purpose is to illuminate the experiences of the social workers within the digital client meetings. Our interviewees consisted of four probation inspectors from the probation service and three social secretaries from the social services, all within the investigation unit. The participation of the interviewees has contributed to knowledge within the research area.
A variety of demand side management (DSM) methods are needed to ensure electric grid reliability and to integrate increasing shares of renewable energy sources into electricity networks. To investigate whether communal laundry rooms in Stockholm represent a good candidate for employing DSM to reduce the severity of electricity load peaks, tenants are surveyed on their willingness to temporarily lo
