Flera platser utmed den skånska kusten har idag problem med stranderosion som innebär att havet äter sig inåt land så att stränder och kustlandskap försvinner. När havet stiger förväntas stranderosionen att öka och även kust sträckor som idag inte har problem kan komma att drabbas. Då kustlinjen rör sig inåt land hotas bebyggelse, infra struktur och naturområden, samtidigt som översvämningsrisken Beach erosion is expected to increase as the sea level rises during the coming decades. A retreating coastline threat ens infrastructure, settlements, nature habitats, and at the same time increases the flood risk in low-lying areas. On the Swedish south coast, beach erosion is a problem at present likely to increase due to the sea level rise. For main taining the beaches and protecting the hinter

This work presents an acoustofluidic chip capable of separating cells form their corresponding secretome for subsequent MALDI-MS analysis, which can be used amongst many other applications for directed evolution.

Ett varumärkesrättsligt skydd är ofta något som företag arbetar hårt för att uppnå. I vissa fall kan ett varumärke anses ha ett ekonomiskt värde i sig. Den tekniska utvecklingen har medfört ett förändrat samhällsklimat där individer getts ett allt större utrymme att utrycka sig. Ett förhållandevis nytt fenomen är influencers – personer som via internetplattformar använder sin egen person för att m

Since EU’s expansion to incorporate former Communist countries, attempts to solve the so-called “Roma issue” spurred an unprecedented array of policies, interventions and measures at national and transnational level. Instead of the expected positive changes, discrimination and poverty worsened. The current migration waves, economic crisis, and the surge of far-right nationalism, contributed to an

I Sverige finns ett antal företag som med stöd av offentlighetsprincipen samlar in personuppgifter ur allmänna handlingar och publicerar dessa i söktjänster på internet. Genom användning av söktjänsterna går det att skapa sig en utförlig bild av en viss individ. Söktjänsterna har i regel beviljats utgivningsbevis och omfattas därför av grundlagsskyddet i YGL. I Sverige har en vedertagen uppfattninIn Sweden, there are several companies that, relying on the principle of public access to official documents, gather personal data and publish this information in online search services. Through use of these services, it is possible to access a detailed profile of a specific individual. The search services have generally been granted a so-called certificate of publication and are consequently prot

The remaining lifetime of concrete structures subjected to chloride-induced corrosion has been studied in many papers. However, few studies so far consider explicitly experiences from case studies, jointly several corrosion mechanisms and a system perspective. This paper introduces a methodology to evaluate the time-dependent system reliability for concrete bridges subjected to reinforcement corro

Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio

Since 2011, LUNARC has aimed to provide an interactive HPC environment for its resource users. Several different architectures have been used, but since 2013, we have been using a remote desktop environment based on Cendio's ThinLinc [1] combined with a custom backend framework, GfxLauncher [2], supporting hardware-accelerated graphics applications and Jupyter Notebooks [3] submitted to the backen

Japan's January withdrawal of funding from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women highlights its aversion to addressing gender equality issues at home. Despite externally presenting a commitment to progressive gender norms, a tension between Japan's international image and its domestic reality persists. Japan continues to rank low in major gender equality indexes as re

Children with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are often described by their parents or teachers as "little adults, " in part because of the seemingly adult-like themes that populate their child's worries; for example, the health of family members or family finances and concerns about performance. Younger children may experience more vague worries of "something" bad happening to themselves, famil

To study how mechanical factors influence the spread of cancer and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), it is crucial that cancer cell populations be sorted without labels in relevant subpopulations with respect to mechanical properties. It is also important to confine subpopulations for long-term observation to track changes, in inherent properties of the subpopulations, and on the influen

Artiklarna i detta nummer bearbetar frågor om levbarhet, motstånd och hopp på olika sätt, utifrån olika disciplinära kontexter och med en bredd av material. Frågan som ställs handlar om vilka som anses ha liv värda att skydda, och vad som gör livet levbart för de som positioneras utanför det begripliga och därmed skyddsvärda och sörjbara. Vi förhåller oss här till Butlers analys och förslag att täThe articles in this issue address issues of livability, resistance and hope in different ways, from different disciplinary contexts and with a wide range of materials. The question posed is who is considered to have lives worth protecting, and what makes life liveable for those who are positioned outside the intelligible and thus worthy of protection and care. Here we relate to Butler's analysis

Haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal is a process that is essential for the development and homeostasis of the blood system. Self-renewal expansion divisions, which create two daughter HSCs from a single parent HSC, can be harnessed to create large numbers of HSCs for a wide range of cell and gene therapies, but the same process is also a driver of the abnormal expansion of HSCs in diseases

We investigated the role of cultural experience in the search advantage for happy faces. European British participants living in the UK, Asian Japanese participants living in Japan, and Asian Japanese participants living in the UK, were required to search for a happy or an angry face target against a background of neutral facial expressions, using Asian Japanese and European American faces. Result

The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which men in psychiatric care have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse during the life course and the association between this experience and being a perpetrator oneself. The aim was also to identify who exposed them to abuse and whether there was an association between the category of abuser and being a perpetrator oneself. A cross

BackgroundEndostatin is a promising biomarker for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). We investigated plasma endostatin levels at ICU admission as predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission, renal replacement therapy (RRT) within 7 days after ICU admission, and 30-day mortality.MethodsA retrospective multicentre study was performed

Introduction: Psychological pain is a central risk factor for suicidal behaviour. Nonverbal synchrony between patients and therapists has been shown to facilitate the development of therapeutic alliance, which in turn is linked to symptom reduction. Building on these associations, the present study investigated whether movement synchrony in suicide-specific therapy exceeds random synchrony and whe

Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy is prescribed for patients with chronic lung diseases who experience exertional hypoxemia. However, available devices may not adequately meet user requirements, and their performance characteristics are heterogeneous. Objective: This study aims to identify devices available for delivery of ambulatory oxygen therapy, the technologies that they use to generate o
