Transition-metal complexes are used as photosensitizers1, in light-emitting diodes, for biosensing and in photocatalysis2. A key feature in these applications is excitation from the ground state to a charge-transfer state3,4; the long charge-transfer-state lifetimes typical for complexes of ruthenium5 and other precious metals are often essential to ensure high performance. There is much interest

Skogsekosystemet är ett av de viktigaste ekosystemen på jorden. Skogen förser oss med mycket som vi har nytta av, vilket numera ofta kallas ekosystemtjänster. Skogen reglerar och förser oss med många viktiga ekosystemtjänster, till exempel biodiversitet, skydd av mark och vatten, tillförsel av fiber, bränsle och andra skogsprodukter, klimatreglering samt sociokulturella värden och tjänster. ArealeThe forest ecosystem provides and regulates many important ecosystem services, such as soil and water protection, timber production, and climate regulation. It has been influenced by changes induced by humans, for example, our increasing demand for timber and bioenergy, the increase in nitrogen (N) deposition and CO2 concentrations due to industrialization, and climate change which has caused an i

This article contains an overview of the current proposals of converging IP-networks with PSTN. We describe Parlay and Open Service Access( OSA), two of the most promising architecture.

Introduction. Palliative cancer care in acute hospitals is scarcely studied. We therefore described and compared symptoms, care needs and types of cancer sites in 2002 compared to 2007 and analysed the relationships between these factors. Methods. The study was population-based with a cross-sectional design and was carried out in medical, surgical and oncology wards in two acute care hospitals wit

BACKGROUND: Ghana's maternal mortality ratio remains high despite efforts made to meet Millennium Development Goal 5. A number of studies have been conducted on maternal mortality in Ghana; however, little is known about how the causes of maternal mortality are distributed in different socio-demographic subgroups. Therefore the aim of this study was to assess and analyse the causes of maternal mor

Den globala uppvärmningen gör sig ständigt påmind genom extremväder och naturkatastrofer. Vid klimatkonferensen COP21 år 2015 undertecknade i stort sett alla världens länder Parisavtalet med målet att temperaturökningen ska begränsas. För att uppnå Parisavtalets mål ligger en stor del i att länder behöver minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sverige har minskat sina utsläpp med 35 procent sedan 19Global warming is constantly reminding us of its presence through extreme weather and natural disasters. At the COP21 climate conference in 2015, almost every country in the world signed the Paris Agreement with the aim of limiting temperature increase. The countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve this. Since 1990, Sweden has reduced its emissions by 35 percent, and in 20

Att en tappande säljare på grund av res judicata hindras att yrka betalning för samma vara i ett senare mål är uppenbart, men för en köpare kan det komma som en överraskning att hon därmed beskurits möjligheten att tala å fel i det sålda godset. Enligt principen om betalningsskyldighetens odelbarhet anses betalningsskyldigheten för en vara eller tjänst odelbar i rättskraftshänseende. HD uttrycker Owing to the principle of res iudicata, it is obvious that a seller of goods who have found himself on the losing side of a court case may not again pursue further litigation against the defendant. For the defendant however, it may come as a surprise that she is thus cut off from the opportunity to initiate a lawsuit against the seller on the grounds of the goods being faulty. According to the pri

Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col

In this study, the spatial representativeness of eddy covariance (EC) methane (CH4) measurements was examined by comparing parallel CH4 fluxes from three short (6 m) towers separated by a few kilometres and from two higher levels (20 m and 60 m) at one location. The measurement campaign was held on an intensively managed grassland on peat soil in the Netherlands. The land use and land cover types

The purpose of this micro-ethnographic study was to bring to light the choices and strategies of poor people in reaction to what they imagined housing policies to be in Nicaragua. The analysis used four of Bourdieu’s concepts which are Habitus, Capital, Field, and Agency and his structuralistic constructivism and interpretivism within a mainly phenomenological approach. Both approaches emphasized

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but more mechanistic studies are needed. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can elicit a strong response in many COPD-related cell types, but no studies have been performed in lung fibroblasts. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of CSE on gene expression in lung fibroblasts from hea

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [Co(II)(L)(CH3CN)]2+, where L is one of three pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized. The capacity of the three complexes to effect photocatalytic proton reduction has been examined. Their photocatalytic activities in the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+, acting as a photosensitizer, and asc

Migratory birds must make complex decisions to use wind to their advantage during flight and increasing flight performance is particularly important while crossing ecological barriers. Age-related differences in how birds deal with wind have suggested experience improves necessary skills in gaining positive wind support. However, differences in wind support between age groups over ecological barri

Background: There is an increased risk of suicidality in gambling disorder (GD) and economic hardship is common in the population. Economic hardship itself is a risk factor for suicidality. This study aims to explore the risk of intentional self-harm in GD utilizing social welfare payment (SWP) as a proxy for economic hardship and exploring how economic hardship, gender, criminality, socioeconomic

Single-cell RNAseq is a routinely used method to explore heterogeneity within cell populations. Data from these experiments are often visualized using dimension reduction methods such as UMAP and tSNE, where each cell is projected in two or three dimensional space. Three-dimensional projections can be more informative for larger and complex datasets because they are less prone to merging and flatt
