This paper discusses the possible advantages and disadvantages by using experimental methods in order to understand how music influences our understanding of film narratives. Can experimental and quantitative methods such as eye tracking, questionnaires, galvanic skin response, EEG (electroencephalogram) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging – a brain scan) give us insights into the sign
Background: Hyperuricemia (HU) is in the causal pathway for developing clinical gout. There are few population-based assessments of the absolute and relative risk of clinically diagnosed incident gout in subjects with HU. We aimed to explore the long-term risk of developing incident gout among asymptomatic adults with different levels of serum urate (SU). Methods: Malmö Preventive Project was a po
IntroductionIn speech, there are no blank spaces to signal boundaries between words as there is in written language, but listeners can nevertheless recognise individual words rapidly. Without these blank spaces or commas, listeners have to divide up – segment – the continuous speech stream into discrete words using other means. This study aimed to investigate the tonal cues important for speech se
single-channel video. 6 min 30 secOften focusing on stories of the supernatural, the transcendent, and the psychedelic, Joachim Koester’s deeply researched work explores the real and imagined limits ofthe human body and mind. Through documentary films, photographic series, and books, he reintroduces repressed histories into the collective memory.Tarantism is a condition resulting from the bite of
Objectives We aimed to describe clinical and diagnostic characteristics of primary care patients with heart failure and physicians’ adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for treating chronic heart failure. Design Cross-sectional study based on baseline data from the prospective primary care-based study Heart failure in Southern Sweden (HISS). Setting Patients with heart failure we
This study investigated the effect of glow discharge treatment of titania surfaces on plasma protein adsorption, by means of ellipsometry and mechanically assisted SDS elution. The adsorption and film elution of three plasma proteins, viz. human serum albumin (HSA), human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and laminin-1, as well as competitive adsorption from a mixture of the three proteins, showed that the a
Background: Overdiagnosis and subsequent overtreatment are important side effects of screening for, and early detection of, prostate cancer (PCa). Active surveillance (AS) is of growing interest as an alternative to radical treatment of low-risk PCa. Objective: To update our experience in the largest worldwide prospective AS cohort. Design, setting, and participants: Eligible patients had clinical
The objective of this study was to examine to what extent ergonomics simulations of manual assembly tasks correctly predict the real outcomes in the plants and if recommended measures originating from ergonomics simulations are taken into consideration. 155 ergonomics simulation cases were used in the study and all cases were performed by nine simulation engineers at Volvo Car Corporation in Gothe
Abstract In the field of occupational hygiene much consideration is devoted to the uptake through the human airways, but there are also reports of irritations, complaints and hazards or potential hazards due to particle deposition onto the eyes. There is a need for data regarding the dependence of the deposition rate on particle size and environmental parameters in order to formulate sampling crit
A tissue proteomics process is presented where hepatocyte cell isolation in combination with two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometric identification were used to annotate the liver proteome. Laser microdissection of 8 m liver tissue sections was performed and protein expression profiling was compared using a variety of quantities of input cells, and gel separation condition
Vacuum degassing of activated sludge was tested at eight different Swedish wastewater treatment plants with laboratory-scale equipment in batch mode in order to evaluate its efficiency on improvement of sludge compaction and settling properties. The results show that the efficiency of the degassing technique is mainly dependent on the initial sludge volume index (SVI) of the target sludge which wa
The aim of this work was to determine the extent to which soot is formed and if there are any ways of reducing the formation of soot. In order to determine if soot formation will be a critical issue for the reverse flow reforming process modeling of the process was undertaken. The reformer was modeled using a detailed reaction mechanism to describe the kinetics of soot formation.The results of the
Meta Isæus-Berlin at Skissernas museum Many visitors will surely remember Ett vattenhem (A Water Home), five strikingly ambiguous furnished rooms set out on a low podium in the middle of the main walkway at the Bo01 Housing Fair in Malmö in 2001. The Hall and the Bathroom, at opposite ends of the long and narrow, windowless pavilion, were open to the world and visible from outside. The Bathroom
The radiation balance of urbanised catchments differs from their rural counterparts, with snowpacks experiencing either enhanced or decreased irradiance depending on snowpack location and condition. As snowmelt is largely driven by radiation inputs, changes to localised irradiance (and melt rates) have implications for urban runoff generation. Storm- and wastewater drainage systems in cold regions
Skyddsrum ska tillgodose civilbefolkningens behov av fysiskt skydd vid väpnat angrepp. Det har inte byggts några nya skyddsrum sedan 2002 men befolkningen har ökat. Totalförsvarsplaneringen har återupptagits med anledning av att den säkerhetspolitiska situationen i Europa har förändrats. Ett väpnat angrepp mot Sverige kan inte uteslutas. Av 3 kap. 9 § MB framgår att de prioriterade områdena för dThe purpose of shelters is to provide protection to the civilian population in case of war. Any new shelters have not been built in Sweden since 2002 but the population has increased. The national defense planning has been resumed because of changes in the security policy situation Europe. War against Sweden cannot be ruled out. According to the 3rd chapter 9 § The Swedish Environmental Code (MB)
Governance of environmental resources plays a key role in enhancing or hindering progress towards peace in post-conflict societies. Two years after the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government of Colombia, new dynamics on natural resource and land-use are leading to environmental harm in some regions. Highlands and páramo (high-ele
The objective of this thesis was the impact evaluation of several parameters affecting daylight conditions in a typical cellular office in Lund, Sweden. The research approach that was followed consisted of three distinct steps; the literature review in order to specify the dependent and independent variables of the study, the simulation part to produce daylight performance data and the graphical a
En av de mest grundläggande bestämmelserna inom internationell rätt är våldsförbudet mellan stater och den vilar på en konstruktion som skapades på 1900-talet efter erfarenheter av två världskrig. Den främjar en stark statskoncentration med fokus på staters suveränitet. Övervägande del av dagens väpnade konflikter är interna och inte mellan stater som det var förr. Det har satt press på aktörernOne of the most fundamental provisions of international law is the prohibition of use of force between states and it rests on a construction created in the 20th century after experiences of two world wars. It affirms a strong government concentration focusing on the sovereignty of states. Most of today’s armed conflicts are domestic and not between states as it used to be. It has put pressure on
