In this chapter, we describe some of the main concerns when it comes to formulating emulsions. This includes the choice of ingredients, such as emulsifiers, oils, preservatives, and thickeners. This is done with a focus on how these ingredients can give the desired properties of the emulsions, such as texture, flavor, nutrition, and stability. Commonly encountered thickeners and emulsifiers are de
A thermodynamically consistent model for porous cellulose networks is proposed. A general theory is developed based on mixture theory using chemical potentials as flow potentials. The material is decomposed into three phases, solid, liquid and gas, where the solid and gas phases are further separated into dry fiber and fiber water, water vapor and dry air, respectively. Between the phases interfac
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:- To assess the effect of preoperative alcohol cessation interventions on the rate of postoperative complications in hazardous drinkers- To assess the effect of preoperative alcohol cessation interventions for hazardous drinkers on alcohol use in the postoperative period and longer term
Patent citations added by examiners are often used as indicators of technological impact and knowledge flows, despite various criticisms. In this study we analyze the distribution of examiner patent citations according to patent characteristics in order to show their limitations. According to our findings, the number of applicant citations included is dependent on the science-base of the technolog
Little is known about the coping style and coping strategies among liver transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in the sense of coherence and coping strategies among liver transplant recipients before and during the first year after liver transplantation. The aim was also to study whether or not there was any relationship between the sense of coherence and the copi
The authors have calculated two-photon electron detachment cross sections of the 5p shell of negative iodine in the photon energy region 0-1 Ryd. The results cover the region from the two-photon ionisation threshold of I - at 0.12 Ryd to well above the one-photon ionisation threshold of neutral iodine at about 0.8 Ryd. They demonstrate the importance of many-electron screening effects and double e
The authors present calculations of the two-photon one-electron ionisation of the 5p shell of xenon including non-linear response. Screening effects are described within the random-phase approximation (RPA). The authors use both a local-density approximation (LDA) and a Hartree-Fock average basis set. They describe a large energy region from the two-photon ionisation threshold to above the one-pho
Urban flood risk is a big and growing concern in Sweden. Although much focus is placed on rainfall, hydrology, and engineering conceptualizations of both consequences and solutions, social research contributes to explaining and understanding risk and how actors perceive, construct, and manage it together. This paper applies social network analysis to investigate the network of actors in Höje river
Background/Objectives:Catha edulis, also known as Khat, is a stimulant with hepatotoxic properties. Studies reporting laboratory patterns are scarce. The aim was to assess the patterns associated with hepatic dysfunction due to Khat usage. Methods: Patients with liver injury and self-reported Khat consumption presenting to the gastroenterology department at the King Fahad Central Hospital in Jazan
Background: Immigrant women in Sweden face unique challenges in accessing sexual and reproductivehealth and rights (SRHR ) services, particularly in contraceptive counselling. Despite a well-establishedsystem led by midwives, barriers related to cultural sensitivity, health literacy, and the healthcaresystem's adaptability to diverse needs persist. Understanding immigrant women's perspectives on S
The aim of this chapter is to explore the safety value of implementing Asimov's Laws of Robotics as a future general framework that humans should obey. Asimov formulated laws to make explicit the safeguards of the robots in his stories: (1) A robot may not injure or harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; (2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human b
This study investigates perceived accent in the two early-acquired languages of 21 adult-aged bilinguals with Italian as the heritage language (HL) and German as the majority language (ML). We test the relative ability of ‘age of onset (AoO) in German’ (range = 0–6 years) and ‘Italian use’ to predict perceived nativeness in Italian and German.
What is love? Is it an uncontrollable emotion? Is it, instead, socially shaped, both an emotion and a social practice? Can the bonds of care and affection between humans and non-human animals be said to be on a par with parent-child relationships between humans? Do parents owe love to their children – and do mothers and fathers, respectively, owe it to different degrees? Do subversive weddings cha
