The purpose of this study was to clarify the internal change of concrete structures during drying. Therefore, we used X-ray CT to investigate water content and volume changes inside cement paste specimens during drying. Changes in the CT image intensities and measurements on the images indicated water content and volume changes, including local changes detected with digital volume correlation. Nex
The relation of law and art is conventionally understood through a disciplinary divide that presents art as an instrument of legal practice and scholarship or, alternatively, presents law as potential context for artistic engagement. Moving beyond disciplinary definitions, in this article we explore how art and law, as modes of ordering and action in the world, often overlap in their respective de
Background: Obesity is a growing health issue. This study estimated the costs of obesity among people aged 25–84 years in Sweden using disease and non-disease specific attributable fractions from published data. A prognosis of costs of obesity in 2030 is presented. Methods and materials: Diseases related to obesity and their respective risks and population attributable fraction were retrieved by l
The deposition of 137Cs over the province of Ska>ne (an area of about 100]100 km2) in the southern part of Sweden has been investigated. The origin of the deposition of 137Cs is, in about equal parts, from nuclear weapons tests and from the Chernobyl nuclear accident and amounts to about 1}3 kBq/m2. The activity concentrations of 134Cs and 137Cs in soil samples from 16 sites distributed in a grid
The increasing population diversity in Europe demands clarification of possible ethnic influences on the growth and health of immigrant children and their psychosocial adaptation to the host countries. This article assesses recent data on immigrant children in Europe in comparison to European natives by means of a systematic review of the literature on growth patterns and data on children's health
BACKGROUND: Most cerebral palsy (CP) cases have an unexplained etiology, but a role for environmental exposures has been suggested. One purported environmental risk factor is exposure to endocrine-disrupting pollutants specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between prenatal PFAS exposures and CP in Swedish children.METHODS: In this case-
I contribute to an emerging politics of loss through an empirical analysis of temporalities of climate change loss and damage in Australia. How people temporalize climate change informs their conception of causality, designation of losses and damages, and political response. By drawing attention to the diversity of onto-epistemological understandings and characterizations of climate change loss an
Are certain citizens more likely to feel entitled to evaluate the quality of democratic institutions in their country? Previous studies show that women are more likely than men to answer “don’t know” when asked to express their views about the state of democracy. This article analyzes how political knowledge and internal efficacy contribute to such a gender gap in item non-response rates in resear
The paper presents ethical and legal challenges of holographic communication technologies and suggests a framework to address them. Holographic communications enable the capturing of a user’s 3D depiction via special equipment, and its high-quality transmission to another user located elsewhere, introducing a distinctive data communication experience. Their wrongful use could compromise basic huma
Glucagon is the principal glucose-elevating hormone that forms the first-line defence against hypoglycaemia. Along with insulin, glucagon also plays a key role in maintaining systemic glucose homeostasis. The cells that secrete glucagon, pancreatic α-cells, are electrically excitable cells and use electrical activity to couple its hormone secretion to changes in ambient glucose levels. Exactly how
Artikeln undersöker Martin Luthers reception av Erasmus Novum Testamentum omne som översättare av texten i andra upplagan (1519) och som engagerad läsare av Annotationerna i den fjärde upplagan (1527). Man drar slutsatsen att Luthers primära Vorlage för hans tyska översättning av Galaterbrevet var den grekiska kolumnen i Erasmuss andra upplaga (1519), medan hans översättning av Hebréerbrevet huvudThe article examines Martin Luther’s reception of Erasmus’ Novum Testamentum omne as a translator of the text of the second edition (1519) and as an engaged reader of the Annotations in the fourth edition (1527). It is concluded that Luther’s primary Vorlage for his German translation of Galatians was the Greek column of Erasmus’ second edition (1519), while his translation of Hebrews mainly refle
The trend of using protein produced from microorganisms to be a meat substitute or replacing other meat alternative sources such as soy and pea is becoming increasingly popular because of its possibility to produce meat-like food products and other functional properties such as its emulsifying properties. The effective use of mycoprotein for food applications requires liberation of cell protein by
