Det är inte bara fukt, dålig ventilation eller andra tekniska faktorer, som är boven i dramat när människor upplever att de blir sjuka av innemiljön. Livssituation och livsstil kan också påverka.

In this paper, a high-resolution finite volume method for calculating solutions to a hyperbolic conservation law is presented. The method works in two space dimensions on general domains and uses curvilinear meshes. A non-trivial estimation of gradients needed for the reconstructions is presented. The paper contains examples of numerical solutions of the Enter gas dynamics equations.

Time-series of NASA/NOAA Pathfinder AVHRR Land (PAL) data have been analysed to extract parameters describing the seasonality of vegetation in Africa. Two methods have been developed to fit smooth curves to the time-series. The first method is based on an adaptive Savitzky-Golay filtering technique, and the second on non-linear least-squares fits of asymmetric Gaussian model functions. Both proces

This study investigated how the outdoor environments at nursing homes for older persons were experienced and used to gain knowledge with implications for design. Focus group methodology was used to explore staff's view of how the residents experienced and used the outdoors. Two main themes and ten sub-themes were the result when the focus group interviews were analyzed. Theme one, being comfortabl

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a potentially attractive operating mode for stationary natural gas engines. Increasing demand for efficient, clean burning engines for electrical power generation provides an opportunity to utilize HCCI combustion if several inherent difficulties can be overcome. Fuel composition, particularly the higher hydrocarbon content (ethane, propane, and bu

Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is increasingly used as a therapeutic option to patients with symptomatic chronic hypoventilation. There is, however, a paucity of solid data on factors that could affect prognosis in patients on home ventilation. In the present study, our aim was to study several factors in these patients with potential influence on survival. We examined 1526 adult patients from

Artikeln handlar om en folklig sikhisk healingtradition i norra Indien vilken behandlar olika fysiska och andliga problem som tros vara förorsakade av andar, spöken, eller onda ögat. Den första delen av artikeln ger en översättning (från Hindi) av den muntligt och skriftligt förmedlade berättelse som legitimerar healingtraditionen, medan den andra delen beskriver hur traditionen tar sig uttryck vi

This study aims to investigate how girls within SiS special residential homes for youths are constructed in Swedish news media. The study is based on the social constructivist perspective and Yvonne Hirdman's gender theory. The theory choices have been made to make visible how words in news media construct both gender and the overall image of girls within SiS special residential homes for yout

The Ararat Valley, being the cereal basket of Armenia and Turkey, is in danger with over-abstracted groundwater, which already induces colossal water loss and land subsidence. In the current work, advanced remote sensing techniques and machine learning models are applied to predict subsidence and give datadriven recommendations to effect sustainable water management. The tracking of terrain change

The terms “gender” and “sex” are central to feminist concerns. In English scholarship “gender” is disputed within and outside of feminism, despite its seemingly political correctness as an alternative to “sex” (Olson 2012; Gunnarsson 2011). This thesis aims to describe how “gender”, multi-word expressions with “gender”, and the derivative “gendered” are translated into Arabic target texts (TTs) by
