- OBJECTIVESFatigue after an acquired brain injury is common, and is characterized by limited energy reserves to accomplish ordinary daily activities. A typical characteristic of mental fatigue is that the mental exhaustion becomes pronounced during sensory stimulation or when cognitive tasks are performed for extended periods without breaks. There is a drain of mental energy upon mental activity in situations in which there is an invasion of the senses with an overload of impressions, and in noisy and hectic environments. Another typical feature is a disproportionally long recovery time needed to restore the mental energy levels after being mentally exhausted. The mental fatigue is also dependent on the total activity level as well as the nature of the demands of daily activities. For many people, there is an increased risk of doing too much and becoming even more fatigued.METHODSWe have developed an application for Windows Phone for assessment of mental fatigue. The Mental Fatigue Scale is used. The MFS is a multidimensional questionnaire containing 15 questions. The questions included in the MFS are based on symptoms described following longitudinal studies of patients with TBI, brain tumours, infections or inflammations in the nervous system, vascular brain diseases, and other brain disorders. The app also includes information about mental fatigue. RESULTSThis application can help people determine the level of mental fatigue and it can also serve to provide an overall picture of the severity of the condition, and detect changes in mental fatigue over time. The scores will be added up and the results will be presented in the form of a rating scale and a diagram. People can then see their results for one week ago, one month ago or a whole year ago. Today, the most important recommendations are to adapt to the energy available by doing one thing at a time, resting regularly and not overdoing things. However, this is challenging for most people and it may take a long time, even years, to adapt to a sustainable level. It may also be difficult for the person to learn by himself/herself and it can take several years of considerable struggle, frustration, despair and depression, to find the right balance between rest and activity. This app can help people to be aware of mental fatigue. If they connect the results to daily activities, the app may also help them to be more aware about what may alleviate and what may make mental fatigue worse. CONCLUSIONSWith regular assessment of mental fatigue, this app may give feedback and support in order to achieve an enduring balance between activities and rest.The application can be downloaded without cost: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/mental-fatigue/87d4cb88-c9b5-4ac9-9a92-b63a5d8f4d82

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish integrated monitoring programme is run on four sites distributed from south central Sweden (SE14 Aneboda), over the middle part (SE15 Kindla), to a northerly site (SE16 Gammtratten). The long-term monitoring site SE04 Gårdsjön F1 is complementary on the inland of the West Coast and has been influenced by long-term high deposition loads. The sites are well-defined catchments with mainly coniferous forest stands dominated by bilberry spruce forests on glacial till deposited above the highest coastline. Hence, there has been no water sorting of the soil material. Both climate and deposition gradients coincide with the distribution of the sites from south to north (Table 1). The forest stands are mainly over 100 years old and at least three of them have several hundred years of natural continuity. Until the 1950’s, the woodlands were lightly grazed in restricted areas. In early 2005, a heavy storm struck the IM site Aneboda, SE14. Compared with other forests in the region, however, this site managed rather well and roughly 20–30% of the trees in the area were stormfelled. In 1996, the total number of large woody debris in the form of logs was 317 in the surveyed plots, which decreased to 257 in 2001. In 2006, after the storm, the number of logs increased to 433, corresponding to 2711 logs in the whole catchment. In later years, 2007–2010, bark beetle (Ips typographus) infestation has almost totally erased the old spruce trees. In 2011 more than 80% of the trees with a breast height over 35 cm were dead (Löfgren et al. 2014) and currently almost all spruce trees with diameter of ≥20 cm are gone. In the following, climate, hydrology, water chemistry and some ongoing work at the four Swedish IM sites in 2016 are presented (Löfgren 2017).

Ämnestransporter under vårflöden i Ume älv och Kalix älv : Effekter på transportberäkningarna av en utökad provtagningsfrekvens
- 2009

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stora mängder av olika ämnen transporteras i våra vattendrag i samband med de vattenflödestoppar som sker i anknytning till avsmältningen av snö och is under våren. I denna rapport har vattenkemidata undersökts och utvärderats från intensifierade provtagningar under vårfloderna 2008 och 2009 i de nedre delarna av Kalix och Ume älv. De båda norrländska älvarna tillhör delprogrammet Flodmynningar där målet är att ta fram dataunderlag som beskriver tillståndet i de viktigaste större vattendragen, samt beräkna hur mycket olika ämnen transporteras med dessa ut till havet. I detta arbete har belastningsberäkningar uträknade från dygnsvattenprovtagningen jämförts med beräkningar gjorda från den ordinarie månatliga vattenprovtagningen där syftet har varit att granska hur en utökad provtagningsfrekvens påverkar belastningsberäkningarnas kvalitet. – – – – – – A large quantity of different elements is transported in our water courses as the discharge reach its maximum which happen in connection to snow and ice melting in spring. In this report, water chemistry data from intensified water samplings during spring flood 2008 and 2009 in the lower parts of Kalix and Ume River is examined and interpreted. Both rivers belong to the programme - monitoring of the river mouths of large rivers, where the aim is to deliver data that describes the status of the most important large water courses, and calculate how much of different elements are reaching the seas. In this work, calculation of loads, which are calculated from daily water samplings, have been compared with loads calculated from the ordinary monthly water sampling programme. The aim was to examine how an increased sampling frequency will affect the quality of the calculation of loads
