Fourteen guests from all over Europe and editors of Chemistry Europe journals met for two days to discuss trends and challenges in publishing and to get to know each other during networking breaks and a social evening. The third Chemistry Europe Early Career Researchers Meeting was held on invitation by the Chemistry Europe societies at the Wiley-VCH offices in Weinheim, Germany. It was a great su
Chemical reactivity of the superheavy elements nihonium (Nh, element 113) and moscovium (Mc, element 115) has been studied by the gas-solid chromatography method using a new combined chromatography and detection setup. The Mc isotope, 288Mc, was produced in the nuclear fusion reaction of 48Ca ions with 243Am targets at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum Darmstadt, Germany. After isolating 288Mc ions in the
In this work, numerical simulation was carried out to study the injection and mixing of ammonia solution spray in the exhaust pipe of diesel engines. The ammonia solution was injected into the hot gas of 623 K. The spray was vaporized into gas and mixed with the hot exhaust gas and together the mixture was transported in the exhaust gas pipe downstream where a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) s
Medical waste management is a crucial issue due to its potential health risks to humans and harm to the environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises separating medical waste into seven groups based on its type. However, despite the implementation of color-coded bin bags, cases of missegregation still occur frequently, leading to injuries and spreading diseases. Infectious waste such as
In order to allow for a computationally efficient estimation of radar reflections, one commonly assumes the reflecting target to be in the far-field of the sensing array, such that the impinging wavefront is modeled as a linear phase-shift along the array. This works well in most radar scenarios, but causes significant performance degradation for close-range radar systems, wherein the curvature of
Introduction: The treatment strategies for a 42-year-old female index patient with moderate Graves’ disease (GD) vary according to several international surveys. The important question whether surveys of treatment preferences in theoretical patient cases also match how real patients are treated has not yet been addressed. Materials and Methods: From a Swedish cohort of 1186 GD patients (TT-12 coho
Social media are increasingly important tools in diplomacy. Diplomats are expected to use social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to communicate with each other and with both domestic and international publics. This form of communication involves displaying positive emotions to generate attention in a competitive information environment. Emotions are essential to managing pe
Objective: Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and distressing symptoms reported by survivors of childhood cancer. There is currently a lack of longitudinal studies on cancer-related fatigue, and especially on the relationship between the course of fatigue during treatment and fatigue at follow-up. The purpose of the current study was therefore to investigate if the course of fatigue during treat
Uppsatsen behandlar brottet förolämpning mot tjänsteman och hur bestäm-melsen tillämpas i praktiken när målsäganden är polis. Syftet är att analysera vilka omständigheter som tillmäts betydelse vid bedömningen av straffbarhet samt var gränsen dras mellan straffbara och icke straffbara uttalanden. Arbetet är genomfört med rättsdogmatisk metod och bygger på lagtext, för-arbeten, rättspraxis och releThis thesis examines the offence of insult against a public official and how the provision is applied in practice when the injured party is a police officer. The purpose is to analyse which factors are given weight in the assessment of criminal liability and where the boundary is drawn between punishable and non-punishable statements. The study is conducted using a legal dogmatic method and is bas
This article, based on a case study of direct action within the Swedish extra-parliamentary left, offers an investigation of political resistance as an embodied activity heavily associated with bodily vulnerability. In doing so, the article challenges the description of the extra-parliamentary left as a ‘violent extremist environment,’ offered by Swedish state authorities. The case study draws upo
Aims: To determine the magnitude of the association between abdominal adiposity and low-grade inflammation in persons with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to determine to what extent this association is mediated by low physical activity level, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and comorbidities. Materials and Methods: We measured waist circumference, clin
Simultaneous detection of multiple signals for common biochemical/electrochemical reactions is a challenging area of research for comparative studies. Based on our previous work with electrochemically assisted thermal biosensors, a hybrid biosensor has been developed for the simultaneous monitoring of the electrochemically generated current and the thermal signal produced in association with enzym
Solid-state sodium ion batteries are frequently referred to as the most promising technology for next-generation energy storage applications. However, developing a suitable solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity, excellent electrolyte–electrode interfaces, and a wide electrochemical stability window, remains a major challenge. Although solid-polymer electrolytes have attracted great intere
With the technological advancements in electronics, thermal management is becoming a concern that considerably affects the performance of electronic parts and systems, and two-phase immersion cooling is attracting attention due to its preferable cooling capacity. In immersion cooling, heat is dissipated by boiling that occurs on hot surfaces immersed in coolants. Therefore, it is essential to inve
The diversity among Swedish university students is steadily increasing. The students have different backgrounds, experiences, interests, learning styles and abilities. Also, there are more students with disabilities at Swedish universities, especially invisible disabilities. Teachers need to adapt their teaching and curricula, and can no longer wait to do this until they spot a student with divers
INTRODUCTION: Plasma biomarkers offer promise for improving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and differentiating AD and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) like frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from primary psychiatric disorders (PPDs), particularly in younger patients. METHODS: In this prospective study, we investigated plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217), neurofilament light chain
The aim of the paper is to discuss, with a broadly postcolonial sensibility, the complex role that language has come to play in the contemporary process of globalization. It attempts to show that language, besides being a medium of communication, has come to play a crucial role in companies’ conquest of the global market, on the one hand, and in defending a general idea of an imaginary homogenous
Background: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with d
