One of the biggest obstacles to economic profitability of solar water heating systems is the investment cost. Retrofitting existing domestic hot water heaters when a new solar hot water system is installed can reduce both the installation and material costs. In this study, retrofitting existing water heaters for solar water heating systems in Swedish single-family houses was theoretically investig

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is a protein, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which dissipates the proton gradient of this membrane and uncouples respiration from oxidative phosphorylation. We found, by in situ hybridisation, UCP2 mRNA to be located in the proliferating zone of the mucous neck cells in the fundus part of the rat stomach. We also found that UCP2 expression in fundus was si

Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent procoagulant zymogen of a serine protease. In the presence of Ca2+ the active form of factor IX (factor IXa beta) forms a complex with factor VIIIa on suitable phospholipid surfaces such as aggregated platelets. This macromolecular complex rapidly activates factor X. We have previously provided data that suggest an interaction between the NH2-terminal epidermal g

Regression models are extensively used in many epidemiological studies to understand the linkage between specific outcomes of interest and their risk factors. However, regression models in general examine the average effects of the risk factors and ignore subgroups with different risk profiles. As a result, interventions are often geared towards the average member of the population, without consid

Forests used for timber production provide essential ecosystem services to society, as well as potential breeding habitat for bird communities. In southern Sweden, 90% of productive forest land is used for timber production and stands dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies) constitute approximately 40% of the forested area. Due to their homogeneous structure, these spruce production forests are o

To examine the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanase in control and diseased human articular cartilage, metabolic fragments of aggrecan were detected with monospecific antipeptide antibodies. The distribution and quantity of MMP-generated aggrecan G1 fragments terminating in VDIPEN341 were compared with the distribution of aggrecanase-generated G1 fragments terminating in NI

In the modern society the use of cyber technology is essential in many aspects. Both civilian infrastructure and crucial systems rely on cyber technology and its many uses. This new era in which cyberspace activities are a crucial part of society raises the question about how well preserved civilian cyber systems are in case of war, more specifically cyberwar. This study analyses how well NATO cyb

Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren

ASG Transformation of Scholarly Communication Förändringen av akademisk kommunikation Syftet med denna ASG är att skapa en tvärvetenskaplig plattform för diskussioner om förändringen av metoderna inom akademisk kommunikation i syfte att åstadkomma en ökad förståelse för dessa förändringar och hur de inte bara påverkar forskningsmetodik utan även blir en viktig del i forskningspolicy och ledning.

This report explores the role of local actors in enhancing early warning systems (EWS) for fires in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Veld and urban fires present significant risks to communities and infrastructure, especially in rural and informal urban areas. The study focuses on (1) understanding how local actors such as fire services and Fire Protection Associations contribute to the

This study examines how organizational communication during an acquisition shapes the involuntary job-loss experience of redundant employees. Through a qualitative case study of Omega's acquisition of Sigma, drawing on semi-structured interviews with seven former employees, the study applies psychological contract theory and sensemaking to analyze how communication before, during, and at the m

Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a dialysis modality that can improve patient outcomes beyond those achieved with conventional high-flux hemodialysis (HD) in patients with kidney failure. The CONVINCE trial, the latest and the largest of a series of randomized trials comparing HDF with HD, demonstrated a 23% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality with high-volume HDF compared to high-flux H

Background: The aim of the study is to evaluate the overall accuracy of the surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) workflow through a comprehensive commissioning and quality assurance procedures and assess the potential benefits of deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) radiotherapy as a cardiac and lung dose reduction approach for left-sided breast cancer irradiation. Materials and methods: Accuracy and

Recognizing the great potential of civil society organizations (CSOs) as drivers of socialchange, this study examines how CSOs’ work directed towards consumers—in this case, to make food consumption practices sustainable—could be analyzed and improved through insights in practice theory. This research scope adds to the sustainable consumption literature by shifting the lens from the rich body of s
