By using a orthonormal tetrad description the three-wave coupling coefficients are computed. Comparing with previous results, it is found that the present theory leads to algebraic expression that are much reduced, as compared to those computed using a coordinate frame formalism. Furthermore, here we calculate the back reaction on the gravitational waves, and a simple energy conservation law is deduced in the limit of a cold plasma.

One of the most interesting features of the Pd-MOS device as a hydrogen sensor is its very large dynamic pressure range. Such devices are now used in several practical applications and in commercially available equipment, both as single sensors and in sensor arrays. We recall that the hydrogen sensitivity of the device occurs due to a hydrogen induced polarization at the Pd-SiO2 interface as schematically shown in Figure 1. During the years, several types of devices have been developed, both with insulators other than silicon dioxide and catalytic metals other than palladium. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that sensors with thin, discontinuous catalytic metals can detect molecules, like ammonia, which are not detected by sensors with thick continuous palladium gates. 1-3 Although several insulators have been used in hydrogen sensitive Pd-insulator-semiconductor
8.	Eklund, Petter, 1989- (author) Design of Rare Earth Free Permanent Magnet Generators 2018 Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract Low speed permanent magnet (PM) synchronous generators (SGs) are commonly used in renewable energy. Rare earth (RE) PMs such as neodymium-iron-boron are a popular choice due to their high performance. In 2011 supply and cost issues were added to the previously existing environmental concerns regarding REPM raw materials as the world's major producer China imposed export restrictions. This thesis aims to investigate and propose design solutions for PMSGs that do not use REPMs. Two approaches are used: to design generators using the cheaper and more abundant ferrite PM materials, and to investigate how properties of new PM materials influence SG design.A ferrite PM rotor is designed to replace a REPM rotor in an experimental 12 kW wind power generator. The new design employs a flux concentrating spoke type rotor to achieve performance similar to the old REPM rotor while using ferrite PMs. The ferrite PM rotor design is built. The air gap length, magnetic flux density in the air gap, PM remanence, and voltage at both load and no load are measured. The generator has lower no load voltage than expected, which is mainly explained by lower than specified remanence of the ferrite PMs in the prototype. With the measured remanence inserted into the calculations some discrepancy remains. It is found that the discrepancy can be explained by the magnetic leakage flux in the end regions of the spoke type rotor, which is not modeled in the two dimensional simulations used for the design calculations.To investigate the influence of PM material properties three different PM rotor topologies are optimized for torque production using PM materials described by their remanence, recoil permeability, and demagnetization resistance. Demagnetization is considered using currents determined by a novel, winding design independent short circuit model. It is found that the spoke type rotor gives the highest torque of the three rotor topologies for low remanence materials as long as the PMs have sufficient demagnetization resistance. For high remanence materials the surface mounted PM rotor can give higher torque if the demagnetization resistance is high, but otherwise a capped PM rotor gives higher torque.

A permanent magnet synchronous generator using high-energy rare-earth permanent magnets (PMs) is one common choice for this application, but rare-earth PMs have supply insecurities and cost risks. A rare-earth free 32-pole PM generator, using ferrite PMs in a spoke-type rotor, for use in a 12 kW experimental wind turbine is built and tested. Voltages and currents at load and no load are measured, as well as the magnetic field in the end regions of the machine. The generator can deliver the required power at nominal speed and has low harmonic content in the output. The electrical measurements are compared to two-dimensional finite element design calculations and the experimental results are lower than expected from simulations. The measured voltage is lower than expected, requiring a higher current than calculated for the rated power. Three-dimensional magnetic field simulations show that there are leakage flux paths in the end-regions that the two-dimensional design calculations overlook, explaining the discrepancy between simulations and measurements.

The model predicts a hydrogen adsorption isotherm of the Temkin type. It is found that, in practice, an upper limit for the hydrogen response of a Pd-metal-oxide-semiconductor device exists. The value (in V) is equal to the difference of the initial heats of adsorption (in eV) of the interface and the Pd bulk, respectively. Furthermore, a corresponding maximum hydrogen concentration, at the interface, of 1×10 18 m −2 is predicted. The predictions are in good agreement with previously observed experimental data.

This non-selective technique facilitates detection of several different threats to the drinking water. A multivariate algorithm shows that anomaly detection is possible with a minimum of false alarms. Multivariate analysis can also be used to classify different types of substances added to the drinking water. Low concentrations of sewage water contaminating the drinking water can be detected. A network of such sensors is envisaged to facilitate real-time and on-line monitoring of drinking water distribution networks.

In this work we show that besides the dominating hydrogen adsorption state located on the oxide side of the interface, a second state, resulting in opposite hydrogen polarization, exists. This state is possibly a reminiscence of the hydrogen adsorption state on a clean Pd surface. Taking both states into account, a simulation of the hydrogen response over more than ten decades in hydrogen pressures gives good agreement with published data.

First holes in the metal are observed, followed by network formation and finally isolation of metal islands. This process is known as agglomeration. The influence of gas exposures on this restructuring process has been studied by following variations in the capacitance of the structure and by atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The capacitance measurements show that carbonaceous species have an impeding influence on the rate of agglomeration and may lock the film structure in a thermodynamic non-equilibrium state. By removing these species with oxygen exposure, i.e. by forming volatile CO and CO2, a clean surface is obtained and the agglomeration process can proceed. High oxygen or hydrogen coverages also lower the rate of restructuring, compared to the case of a clean surface. For the clean Pd surface, an apparent activation energy of 0.64 eV is found for the restructuring process.

Both lakes held populations of approximately 15–20 pairs. At Fegen-Svansjöarna, average breeding success was 0.51 large chicks per pair and year inside and 0.27 outside the sanctuaries (field surveys in 1983–1984 and 1997–2000). The difference was not statistically significant, however, and in two out of the six study years breeding success was higher outside the bird sanctuaries. At Sottern, breeding success was 0.39 and 0.25 large chicks per pair and year inside and outside the bird sanctuary, but breeding success was higher inside the sanctuary only in four out of nine years, 1997–2005. The results from the two lakes together indicated an overall positive effect (P = 0.08). We recommend keeping a constant water-level during incubation to be the primary measure to enhance breeding success. Sanctuaries with limited access may be an additional benefit at lakes highly frequented for out-door recreation.

The induced absorption is found to be a kinetic effect, where the amount absorbed depends on the hydrogen desorption rate and the CO adsorption rate. In addition to simple site blocking, adsorbed CO induces an increase in the hydrogen desorption energy and an activation barrier for hydrogen dissociation. Both increase linearly with CO coverage for θCO>0.18 ML. Below this coverage, the hydrogen dissociation is non-activated.

(author) Spillover of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide in oxidation reactions on SiO2 supported Pd 1994 In: Surface Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 0039-6028 .- 1879-2758. ; 311:1-2, s. 139-152 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Oxidation of H2 and CO on large, oxygen preexposed Pd islands supported on SiO2, has been investigated in the temperature range 323 ⩽, T ⩽ 523 K. The results have been compared with the corresponding reactions on a polycrystalline Pd film. A maximum reactive sticking coefficient of 0.9 for H2 and an initial sticking coefficient for O2 of 0.8 on both structures is concluded. The maximum reactive sticking coefficient for CO is 0.85 on the film and apparently larger than unity on the island structure. The results obtained from the island structure can be rationalized if O2 and H2 dissociate on the Pd islands and have the possibility to spillover onto the oxide, while CO adsorbs and reacts both on the Pd islands and on the oxide. Spillover of oxygen occurs in a precursor state and is irreversible with an apparent activation energy of 0.1 eV for the forward reaction.
17.	Eriksson, Mats, 1963- (author) Surface and Interface Phenomena Studied with Pd Metal-Oxide-semiconductor Structures : Adsorption, catalytic reactions, hydrogen sensing and Pd restructuring 1997 Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract The electronic properties of palladium metal-oxide-semiconductor (Pd-MOS) structures are highly sensitive to hydrogen over a large pressure range. Such devices have been found useful in several applications, e.g. as a chemical sensing element in the so called electronic nose. This thesis takes its starting point in fundamental studies of the physics and chemistry of Pd-MOS structures and presents a model for its hydrogen sensing properties as well as addressing a number of questions of more general nature, relating to heterogeneous catalysis.The hydrogen sensitivity rests on the permeability of Pd to hydrogen and consecutive hydrogen adsorption at the Pd-SiO2 interface. Previous studies have shown that the hydrogen response follows a so called Temkin adsorption isotherm, i.e. the response is proportional to the logarithm of the hydrogen pressure. In this work it is shown that an electrostatic model describing the hydrogen adsorbate-adsorbate interaction at the interface, can explain this behavior as well as other, previously obtained, results. In addition to the dominating hydrogen adsorption interface state, a new state has been observed. This state appears to be located at the Pd side of the interface, in contrast to the dominating state which is located at the SiO2 side.The hydrogen sensitivity of the device has been utilized, in combination with mass spectrometry, to study hydrogen and CO coadsorption phenomena in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). It is shown that, although CO by itself does not induce any response of the device, CO may significantly influence the hydrogen response. This is particularly evident in the presence of oxygen. It is shown that CO adsorbed on the Pd surface may act as a valve, hindering both hydrogen adsorption and desorption. Combined, real time, measurements of hydrogen desorption and absorption show that both processes may be induced simultaneously by CO exposure of an hydrogen covered surface. This phenomenon has only been indirectly observed in the past.Morphology changes of thin Pd films, evaporated on SiO2 at room temperature, have been followed, both in UHV and at atmospheric pressures. The techniques used include scanning force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, capacitance measurements and mass spectrometry. It has been found that Pd films with a thickness in the range 2-10 nm change their structure dramatically, even at temperatures as low as 473 K, if the surface is properly cleaned: An initially continuous film breaks up and large Pd islands are gradually formed. Carbonaceous species adsorbed on the Pd surface significantly lower the rate of restructuring and, in effect, lock the film in a certain stage of the restructuring process. The carbonaceous adsorbates can be removed by combustion with oxygen whereby the restructuring process restarts.Also, the catalytic oxidation of CO and H2 on both continuous and discontinuous Pd films has been studied in UHV. In the case of CO oxidation on a continuous Pd film, a modelling of the surface reaction kinetics was performed and good agreement with experimental results has been achieved. The discontinuous Pd film can be considered as a model catalyst. The interpretation of the experimental results from this study include phenomena occurring on the SiO2 support surface (spillover effects).

(author) The catalytic oxidation of CO on polycrystalline Pd: Experiments and kinetic modelling 1998 In: Surface Science. - 0039-6028 .- 1879-2758. ; 412/413, s. 430-440 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract The catalytic oxidation of CO on a thin, polycrystalline Pd film has been studied. Even though the Pd film is expected to be dominated by (111) facets, some distinct differences compared to single crystalline Pd(111) are observed. A kinetic model for the CO oxidation reaction is presented. It gives good agreement with experiments, both in terms of CO2 reaction probability and CO coverage during reaction conditions. The model assumes a random distribution of the adsorbates, an activation energy for the reaction that decreases with increasing CO coverage, as well as a CO sticking coefficient that in a temperature dependent fashion depends on the oxygen coverage. Single crystal data available from the literature (initial sticking coefficients and heats of adsorption) were mainly used as input parameters. Thus, the model might also be a useful starting point when modeling the catalytic oxidation of CO on single crystal surfaces.
19.	Eriksson, Mats, 1963-, et al. (author) The influence of CO on the response of hydrogen sensitive Pd-MOS devices 1997 In: Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical. - 0925-4005 .- 1873-3077. ; 42:3, s. 217-223 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In order to understand and correctly interpret the response of chemical sensors under measurement conditions, detailed studies of molecule—sensor interactions under well-controlled conditions are needed. In this work, the influence of CO on the response of a hydrogen sensitive Pd—metal-oxide-semiconductor (Pd—MOS) device with a dense Pd film is studied in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). The results show that although CO by itself does not induce any response of the device, CO may have a significant influence on the hydrogen response, especially so in the presence of oxygen. It is also shown that high CO coverages on the Pd surface increases the time needed to obtain equilibrium between the gas phase hydrogen pressure and the response of the Pd—MOS device. This is due to a CO induced increase of the activation energies of the dissociation and association processes for hydrogen. The effect on the hydrogen response is small for CO coverages below 0.2 monolayers and increases dramatically above this coverage.

(author) The water-forming reaction on thin, SiO2 supported, palladium films 1990 In: Vacuum. - 0042-207X .- 1879-2715. ; 41:1-3, s. 137-138 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract The water-forming reaction has been studied on thin Pd films, evaporated on planar SiO2 substrates. The nominal film thickness varied between 5 and 100 Å. The studies were performed in uhv by means of mass spectrometry, UPS and work function measurements in the temperature range 323–523 K. The film structure was also studied with TEM. The results are compared with previous measurements on 1000 Å, thick, homogeneous Pd films. The structure of the thin Pd films changed dramatically during cyclic H2 and O2 exposures, from that of a continuous film with cracks to that of drop-like metal particles. These structural changes are not observed on the thick (1000 Å) Pd films. Even though there are large structural changes, the water-forming reaction looks qualitatively the same as on a thick Pd film. The total water production however, decreases with decreasing film thickness. We believe that some minor qualitative differences in the water-forming reaction for different nominal Pd film thicknesses, are due to the increasing PdSiO2 boundary as the thickness is reduced.

In this work we have used an atomic force microscope(AFM), operated in the attractive mode, to obtain the three‐dimensional morphology of the Pd surface for different film thicknesses and treatments, and compared the data with transmission electron microscopy(TEM) micrographs. During restructuring, a 100‐Å film changes from being a smooth continuous film with cracks into metal clusters dispersed on the SiO2 support. In the 5‐Å case the metal films are already well dispersed as fabricated. Here the gas exposure instead results in a clustering effect resulting in larger particles. The AFM gives results which are consistent with TEM micrographs but also gives additional information on metal particle shape which can lead to a further understanding of the restructuring process.

Here, we evaluated whether our recent finding of elevated neural serotonin synthesis rate in patients with social anxiety disorder could be reproduced in a separate cohort, and whether allelic variation in the tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) G-703T polymorphism relates to differences in serotonin synthesis assessed with positron emission tomography. Eighteen social anxiety disorder patients and six healthy controls were scanned during 60 minutes in a resting state using positron emission tomography and 5-hydroxy-L-[ -C-11]tryptophan, [C-11]5-HTP, a substrate of the second enzymatic step in serotonin synthesis. Parametric images were generated, using the reference Patlak method, and analysed using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8). Blood samples for genotyping of the TPH2 G-703T polymorphism were obtained from 16 social anxiety disorder patients (T carriers: n=5, GG carriers: n=11). A significantly elevated [C-11]5-HTP accumulation rate, indicative of enhanced decarboxylase activity and thereby serotonin synthesis capacity, was detected in social anxiety disorder patients compared with controls in the hippocampus and basal ganglia nuclei and, at a more lenient (uncorrected) statistical threshold, in the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex. In patients, the serotonin synthesis rate in the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex was significantly elevated in TPH2 T carriers in comparison with GG homozygotes. Our results support that social anxiety disorder entails an overactive presynaptic serotonergic system that, in turn, seems functionally influenced by the TPH2 G-703T polymorphism in emotionally relevant brain regions.

A number of studies have shown that orally administered sweet-tasting solutions reduce signs of pain during painful procedures. The local anesthetic cream EMLA has recently been shown to be safe for use in neonates. This study compared the pain-reducing effect of orally administered glucose with that of EMLA cream during venipuncture in newborns.Methods. Randomized, controlled, double-blind study including 201 newborns undergoing venipuncture for clinical purposes. Ninety-nine of the newborns received EMLA on the skin and orally administered placebo (sterile water), and 102 received glucose 30% orally and placebo (Unguentum Merck) on the skin. Symptoms associated with pain at venipuncture were measured with the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) scale (also validated for full-term infants). Heart rate and crying time were recorded.Results. There were no differences in background variables between the 2 groups.The results shows that the PIPP scores were significantly lower in the glucose group (mean: 4.6) compared with the EMLA group (mean: 5.7). The duration of crying in the first 3 minutes was significantly lower in the glucose group (median: 1 second) than in the EMLA group (median: 18 seconds). There were significantly fewer patients in the glucose group who were scored having pain (defined as PIPP score above 6); 19.3% compared with 41.7% in the EMLA group. The changes in heart rate were similar in both groups.Conclusions. We found that glucose is effective in reducing symptoms associated with pain from venipuncture in newborns and seems to be better than the local anesthetic cream EMLA.

The evidence for existing treatments is mixed, and effective accessible treatments are needed. Dance, a rhythmic cardio-respiratory activity, combined with yoga, which enhances relaxation and focus, may provide physiological and psychological benefits that could help to ease pain.Objectives: The aim with this study was to evaluate the effects of a dance and yoga intervention on maximum abdominal pain in 9- to 13-year- old girls with FAPDs.Methods: This study was a prospective randomised controlled trial with 121 participants recruited from outpatient clinics as well as the general public. The intervention group participated in dance and yoga twice weekly for 8 months; controls received standard care. Abdominal pain, as scored on the Faces Pain Scale–Revised, was recorded in a pain diary. A linear mixed model was used to estimate the outcomes and effect sizes.Results: Dance and yoga were superior to standard healthcare alone, with a medium to high between-group effect size and significantly greater pain reduction (b = −1.29, p = 0.002) at the end of the intervention.Conclusions: An intervention using dance and yoga is likely a feasible and beneficial complementary treatment to standard health care for 9- to 13-year-old girls with FAPDs.Significance: FAPDs affect children, especially girls, all over the world. The negative consequences such as absence from school, high consumption of medical care and depression pose a considerable burden on children and their families and effective treatments are needed. This is the first study examining a combined dance/yoga intervention for young girls with FAPDs and the result showed a reduction of abdominal pain. These findings contribute with new evidence in the field of managing FAPDs in a vulnerable target group.

31.	Johnsson, Linus, et al. (author) Adequate trust avails, mistaken trust matters : On the moral responsibility of doctors as proxies for patients' trust in biobank research 2013 In: Bioethics. - : Wiley. - 0269-9702 .- 1467-8519. ; 27:9, s. 485-492 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract In Sweden, most patients are recruited into biobank research by non-researcher doctors. Patients’ trust in doctors may therefore be important to their willingness to participate. We suggest a model of trust that makes sense of such transitions of trust between domains and distinguishes adequate trust from mistaken trust. The unique position of doctors implies, we argue, a Kantian imperfect duty to compensate for patients’ mistaken trust. There are at least three kinds of mistaken trust, each of which requires a different set of countermeasures. First, trust is mistaken when necessary competence is lacking; the competence must be developed or the illusion dispelled. Second, trust is irrational whenever the patient is mistaken about his actual reasons for trusting. Care must therefore be taken to support the patient’s reasoning and moral agency. Third, some patients inappropriately trust doctors to recommend only research that will benefit them directly. Such trust should be counteracted by nurturing a culture where patients expect to be asked occasionally to contribute to the common good.

British Medical Journal. - : BMJ. - 0959-8146 .- 0959-535X. ; 337:7663, s. a345- Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract ObjectivesTo estimate how many people object to storage of biological samples collected in health care in Sweden and to their use in research and how many withdraw previous consent.DesignCross sectional study of register data.SettingBiobanks used in Swedish health care, 2005-6.PopulationData on refusal to consent were obtained for 1.4 million biobank samples per year from 20 of 21 counties.Main outcome measuresRates of preliminary refusal to consent, confirmed refusal, and withdrawal of consent.ResultsPatients refused consent to either storage or use of their samples in about 1 in 690 cases, about 1 in 1600 confirmed their decision by completing a dissent form. Rather than having the samples destroyed, about 1 in 6200 patients wanted to restrict their use. Of those who had previously consented, about 1 in 19 000 withdrew their consent.ConclusionsRefusal to consent to biobank research in Sweden is rare, and the interests of individuals and research interests need not be at odds. The Swedish healthcare organisation is currently obliged to obtain either consent or refusal to each potential use of each sample taken, and tack of consent to research is used as the default position. A system of presumed consent with straightforward opt out;would correspond with people's attitudes, as expressed in their actions, towards biobank research.

Here we show that this resemblance is more than skin deep. We apply a multidisciplinary experimental approach to characterize the cellular and molecular composition of integumental tissues in an exceptionally preserved specimen of the Early Jurassic ichthyosaur Stenopterygius. Our analyses recovered still-flexible remnants of the original scaleless skin, which comprises morphologically distinct epidermal and dermal layers. These are underlain by insulating blubber that would have augmented streamlining, buoyancy and homeothermy. Additionally, we identify endogenous proteinaceous and lipid constituents, together with keratinocytes and branched melanophores that contain eumelanin pigment. Distributional variation of melanophores across the body suggests countershading, possibly enhanced by physiological adjustments of colour to enable photoprotection, concealment and/or thermoregulation. Convergence of ichthyosaurs with extant marine amniotes thus extends to the ultrastructural and molecular levels, reflecting the omnipresent constraints of their shared adaptation to pelagic life.

Limited studies imply that porous pavements can initially mitigate PM10 emissions by acting as a dust trap, but the abrasion wear generates road dust and thus accelerates the clogging processes. In addition, knowledge regarding the impact of pavement types on road dust load dynamics is limited. Road traffic noise can be mitigated using porous pavements, but the use of studded tyres increases the abrasion wear of the pavement as well as increasing the noise emission. Due to this durability problem, porous pavements are rarely used in the Nordic countries where, instead, dense pavements which are abrasion resistant are more common. Linköping municipality, in Sweden, constructed a porous pavement to mitigate road traffic noise. This led to the opportunity to investigate the temporal variation of the dust load dynamics and inherent size distributions over the winter and spring in comparison to those of an adjacent dense pavement. Results, when using the wet dust sampler (WDS) method, showed similar dust load dynamics for the dense and porous pavements. The results were also compared to previous studies using the same method on different dense pavements in Stockholm, Sweden. All locations showed a seasonal variation with higher dust loads during winter and early spring and declining loads towards summer. The size distributions were more complex for the wheel tracks at the porous pavement, having primarily properties of a mixture model compared to the simple size distributions for the dense pavement. On the other hand, the dust load and size distribution were more similar between the porous and dense pavements regarding loads and shapes, indicating a less pronounced but similar behaviour between the surfaces outside of the wheel tracks.

(author) Contemporary carbon accumulation in a boreal oligotrophic minerogenic mire - a significant sink after accounting for all C-fluxes 2008 In: Global Change Biology. - : Wiley. - 1354-1013 .- 1365-2486. ; 14:10, s. 2317-2332 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Based on theories of mire development and responses to a changing climate, the current role of mires as a net carbon sink has been questioned. A rigorous evaluation of the current net C-exchange in mires requires measurements of all relevant fluxes. Estimates of annual total carbon budgets in mires are still very limited. Here, we present a full carbon budget over 2 years for a boreal minerogenic oligotrophic mire in northern Sweden (64 degrees 11'N, 19 degrees 33'E). Data on the following fluxes were collected: land-atmosphere CO2 exchange (continuous Eddy covariance measurements) and CH4 exchange (static chambers during the snow free period); TOC (total organic carbon) in precipitation; loss of TOC, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and CH4 through stream water runoff (continuous discharge measurements and regular C-concentration measurements). The mire constituted a net sink of 27 +/- 3.4 (+/- SD) g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2004 and 20 +/- 3.4 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2005. This could be partitioned into an annual surface-atmosphere CO2 net uptake of 55 +/- 1.9 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2004 and 48 +/- 1.6 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2005. The annual NEE was further separated into a net uptake season, with an uptake of 92 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2004 and 86 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2005, and a net loss season with a loss of 37 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2004 and 38 g C m(-2) yr(-1) during 2005. Of the annual net CO2-C uptake, 37% and 31% was lost through runoff (with runoff TOC > DIC >> CH4) and 16% and 29% through methane emission during 2004 and 2005, respectively. This mire is still a significant C-sink, with carbon accumulation rates comparable to the long-term Holocene C-accumulation, and higher than the C-accumulation during the late Holocene in the region.
39.	Olsson, Emma, 1980-, et al. (author) Skin-to-skin contact for pain relief : a bibliometric analysis 2013 Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract Introduction & Aims: Skin-to-skin contact originated as a life-saving alternative to conventional neonatal care in low-resource settings. Later research has focused on its advantages for e.g. breastfeeding, mother-infant attachment and also for pain-relief. This study is a part of a larger bibliometric project, analyzing neonatal pain research from 2000 to 2012, as a follow up of a previous investigation (1).Methods: PubMed, PsychInfo, Cochrane, and EBSCO databases were searched using terms relating to pain, neonatal care, infancy, skin-to-skin contact and kangaroo mother care. In addition literature was searched from personal knowledge, reference lists in retrieved articles and from the International Network of Kangaroo Care Bibliography (2). The articles in the final inclusion were analyzed according to publication data and type of research and also type of pain.Results: A final number of 87 articles were included in the analysis. Publication rate increased from an average of 2.5 articles per year the first 5-year period; 2000-2004, to 8.2 2005-2009 and 12.0 2010-2012. Eighty-eight per-cents were published in English language and the main publishing countries were USA with 34 % and Canada with 24 % of the articles. Randomized controlled trials constituted 33 % of the included articles, followed by 14 % other original research. Twenty per-cents were systematic reviews and 34 % guidelines, position papers or commentaries. The most common topic for the studies were procedural pain (61 %) followed by general pain issues (32 %). Of the first authors, 62 % were nurses and 28 % physicians.Discussion & Conclusions: Research about skin-to-skin contact as pain relieving measure shows an increasing trend over the last decade, both randomized trials and other original research, which is also seen in the increasing number of reviews and guidelines built on the results of this scientific work. The large proportion of nurses performing skin-to-skin contact research shows that skin-to-skin contact is a multi-professional team-based intervention. A next step would be to study compliance with the guidelines and the implementation process of skin-to-skin contact for pain-relief.References1. Baños, J. E., Ruiz, G., & Guardiola, E. (2001).

40.	Philipson, Anna, 1978-, et al. (author) An Intervention With Dance and Yoga for Girls With Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (Just in TIME) : Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial 2020 In: JMIR Research Protocols. - Toronto, Canada : JMIR Publications. - 1929-0748. ; 9:12 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Background: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) affect many children worldwide, predominantly girls, and cause considerable long-term negative consequences for individuals and society. Evidence-based and cost-effective treatments are therefore strongly needed. Physical activity has shown promising effects in the practical management of FAPDs. Dance and yoga are both popular activities that have been shown to provide significant psychological and pain-related benefits with minimal risk. The activities complement each other, in that dance involves dynamic, rhythmic physical activity, while yoga enhances relaxation and focus.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a dance and yoga intervention among girls aged 9 to 13 years with FAPDs.Methods: The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial among girls aged 9 to 13 years with functional abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, or both. The target sample size was 150 girls randomized into 2 arms: an intervention arm that receives dance and yoga sessions twice weekly for 8 months and a control arm that receives standard care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 4, 8, 12, and 24 months, and long-term follow-up will be conducted 5 years from baseline. Questionnaires, interviews, and biomarker measures, such as cortisol in saliva and fecal microbiota, will be used. The primary outcome is the proportion of girls in each group with reduced pain, as measured by the faces pain scale-revised in a pain diary, immediately after the intervention. Secondary outcomes are gastrointestinal symptoms, general health, mental health, stress, and physical activity. The study also includes qualitative evaluations and health economic analyses. This study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Uppsala (No. 2016/082 1-2).Results: Data collection began in October 2016. The intervention has been performed in 3 periods from 2016 through 2019. The final 5-year follow-up is anticipated to be completed by fall 2023.Conclusions: Cost-effective and easily accessible interventions are warranted to reduce the negative consequences arising from FAPDs in young girls. Physical activity is an effective strategy, but intervention studies are needed to better understand what types of activities facilitate regular participation in this target group. The Just in TIME (Try, Identify, Move, and Enjoy) study will provide insights regarding the effectiveness of dance and yoga and is anticipated to contribute to the challenging work ofreducing the burden of FAPDs for young girls.

(author) ”Just in TIME” - Intervention med dans och yoga för flickor med funktionell magsmärta och IBS 2019 Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract Bakgrund och syfteFunktionell magsmärta drabbar många barn i skolåldern, mestadels flickor. Det kan leda till minskad livskvalitet, skolfrånvaro, sämre sömn, försämrade kamratkontakter och ökad vårdkonsumtion. Det vetenskapliga underlaget för interventioner vid långvarig smärta hos barn är begränsat. Dans kan öka rörelseglädje och förbättra kroppskännedom, vilket i sin tur påverkar självtillit och kan öka psykiskt välbefinnande. Yoga kan ge mental avslappning och reducera stressreaktioner. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera effekten av en intervention med dans och yoga på återkommande magsmärta, stress och depressiva symtom samt på funktion i vardagen hos flickor 9-13 år som har funktionell buksmärta och IBS.MetodEn randomiserad kontrollerad studie genomförs med forskningspersoner som identifieras via diagnosregister samt barnmottagningarna i Västerås och Örebro, samt från primärvården. Interventionen består av dans och yoga med fokus på rörelseglädje, gemenskap och kravlöshet, och utförs som gruppaktivitet två ggr/veckan under 8 månader. Primärt utfall är förändring av magsmärta efter 8 mån. Flickorna följs upp under fem år avseende magsmärta, självskattad hälsa, stress och psykiskt välmående, fysisk aktivitet och skolfunktioner. Vidare studeras kostnad i relation till nytta.Resultat/(Planerade studier)Projektet pågår och de första resultaten beräknas publiceras hösten 2019. Projektet utvärderas både kvalitativt, genom intervjuer med flickor och vårdnadshavare, och kvantitativt, genom bland annat analys av smärtdagböcker, upplevd hälsa, stress samt med en hälsoekonomisk analys. Därutöver utvärderas salivkortisol och faeces som objektiva mått. KonklusionStudien förväntas leda till ökad kunskap om icke-farmakologiska insatser för barn samt hur behandlingsinsatser för målgruppen kan breddas med ett kostnadseffektivt alternativ till ”standard care”.
42.	Poot, Thirza (author) Sustainable Surface Functionalization of Lightweight Materials : Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Replacing Chromium in Anodic Coatings and Carbon Nanomaterials for Lightning Strike Protection 2022 Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract Aviation accounts for 2-3% of the carbon dioxide emitted globally. One way to reduce emissions is to develop and introduce sustainable, functional, lightweight materials and coatings that increase the lifetime and fuel efficiency of aircraft. The main lightweight materials used in the aerospace industry today are aluminum alloys and carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites. In the work presented in this licentiate thesis, a new sustainable alternative for the replacement of toxic hexavalent chromium in a low energy and chemical consumption sealing procedure of anodized aluminum alloys is suggested (paper I and II). An alternative to the conventional metal mesh used as lightning strike protection for composite structures used today is also presented. The proposed solution adds considerably less weight and has a possibility to reduce the CO2 emission from aviation (paper III). Aluminum alloys as well as composites both exhibit high strength-to-weight ratios but come with individual drawbacks. Fiber reinforced plastics exhibit limited electrical conductivity, which is why additional protection is needed to avoid severe damage following a lightning strike. Aluminum alloys have instead the disadvantage of being susceptible to corrosion and surface protection is required to prolong the materials lifetime and to avoid devastating failures. Anodization, formation of a porous aluminum oxide coating, is the most common choice of surface treatment. This is often followed by closure of the pores through a sealing procedure. Both processes have up until recently been performed in large, energy consuming tanks with highly toxic solutions containing hexavalent chromium which must be replaced to reduce the environmental impact. In paper I, the environmentally friendly tartaric sulfuric acid has been used as anodization electrolyte and cerium oxide nanoparticles have been investigated as a promising alternative for sealing. Cerium-based and hydrothermal sealing (immersion in hot water), individually and combined, were investigated. The morphological and chemical composition were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The investigation confirmed the growth of cerium oxide nanoparticles throughout the coating and closing of the pores by hydrothermal sealing. A corrosion immersion test revealed a superior corrosion resistance of surfaces treated with the two-step sealing process compared to plain anodized, cerium or hydrothermally sealed surfaces. In paper II, the potential use of an aerosol-based wet thin film coating technique called nFOG for cerium sealing as a low chemical and energy consumption alternative to traditional bath-type sealing was investigated. Characterizations of the morphology and composition reveal cerium oxide nanoparticles evenly distributed within the porous coating by the nFOG technique. The new application of the nFOG method was also shown to provide anti-corrosion properties comparable to bath-type sealing. This wet coating technique has the potential to replace chromium and reduce the environmental impact in the treatment process. Furthermore, the limited electrical conductivity of carbon fiber reinforced plastics can be circumvented by loading the polymer matrix of the composite structure (commonly epoxy) with highly conductive carbon nanomaterials. In paper III, graphene nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes were loaded into the epoxy. Simulated lightning strike tests showed an improved damage tolerance for the loaded composites compared to composites prepared with plain epoxy. The results suggest that a combination of graphene nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes increases the damage tolerance by carrying the resulting high electric current from a lightning strike. In conclusion, the application of cerium oxide nanoparticles and carbon nanomaterials moves the aerospace industry towards a sustainable fuel efficiency using functional, lightweight materials and coatings.

Overfeeding SFA vs PUFA for 8 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of caloric restriction.SETTING: General community.Participants: n=61 overweight or obese men and women.INTERVENTION: Muffins high in either palm (SFA)- or sunflower oil (PUFA) were added to the habitual diet.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Lean tissue mass (not reported here). Secondary and exploratory outcomes included liver and ectopic fat depots.RESULTS: By design, body weight gain was similar in SFA (2.31±1.38 kg) and PUFA (2.01±1.90 kg) groups, P=0.50. SFA markedly induced liver fat content (50% relative increase) along with liver enzymes and atherogenic serum lipids. In contrast, despite similar weight gain, PUFA did not increase liver fat or liver enzymes or cause any adverse effects on blood lipids. SFA had no differential effect on the accumulation of visceral fat, pancreas fat or total body fat compared with PUFA. SFA consistently increased, while PUFA reduced circulating ceramides; changes that were moderately associated with liver fat changes and proposed markers of hepatic lipogenesis. The adverse metabolic effects of SFA were reversed by calorie restriction.CONCLUSIONS: Saturated fat markedly induces liver fat and serum ceramides whereas dietary polyunsaturated fat prevent liver fat accumulation, reduce ceramides and hyperlipidemia during excess energy intake and weight gain in overweight individuals.

Four focus groups with a total of 17 school nurses were conducted and analyzed using inductive content analysis. The results showed that the school nurses were balancing between keeping a neutral role and the need to increase the uptake of the HPV vaccination. They described the consent forms and information that they gave the girls and their parents to help them make an informed decision about the vaccination. There were also ethical and moral dilemmas that arose with regard to the HPV vaccinations. Our findings demonstrate the need to provide school nurses with clear guidelines and support, so they can play an active role in interacting with the girls and their parents when they offer the HPV vaccination.

Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted and analysed using thematic analysis.Results: The findings reveal that the decision-making process is complex. The parents trusted the vaccination programme and saw it as beneficial to society. They also described using different resources to decide about HPV vaccination, but they did not include their daughters in making the decision.Discussion: Parents need better vaccine and health literacy to be able to decide, based on evidence and in consultation with their daughters, on HPV vaccination. School nurses can play an important role in evidence-based decision-making about HPV vaccination and introducing children to this health-promoting intervention.
48.	Runngren, Eva, 1963-, et al. (author) School nurse’s experiences of offering HPV vaccination to young girls in a Swedish vaccination program 2019 Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract Background: In the Swedish school health system, girls 10-12 years old are vaccinated for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) with a vaccination coverage of 80%, which is less than other vaccinations in the national child vaccination program according to The Public Health Agency of Sweden. The aim of this study was to describe school nurse’s experience of offering HPV vaccination to girls, age 10-12 years old.Methods: Focus group interviews (n=4) with school nurses (n=17) working in rural and urban areas. The analysis was based on Elo & Kyngäs content analysis.Results: The school nurses had different strategies, abilities and presumptions when offering HPV vaccination. There were various ways to inform parents and girls about HPV and HPV vaccination, but commonly they use information from the school health systems guidelines. It was found that school nurses experienced that there was a lack of knowledge about HPV among both school nurses, parents, girls. One of the problems that the school nurses had was to get the written consent from the parent. Without the written consent, the vaccination will not be performed.Conclusions: The school nurse's vaccination assignment is complex. There are several factors that are important before the vaccination itself can be carried out. How it is performed differs between the school nurses depending on strategy, ability and presumption. The results indicate that an increased knowledge and support in the daily work with HPV vaccination is needed in order to increase the HPV vaccination coverage in the long term.

A survey to Swedish neonatal units 2014 In: Journal of Neonatal Nursing. - : Elsevier. - 1355-1841 .- 1878-089X. ; 10:1, s. 31-36 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Purpose: to investigate if nurses at neonatal units in Sweden have adopted national guidelines when neonates are exposed to intravenous catheter, capillary heel prick, venepuncture and injections, to identify the frequency of documentation of pharmacological and behavioural treatments and to compare the answers from the nurses with results from an earlier national survey completed by the chief neonatologists at the same units.Design and sample: Four nurses at a total of 44 neonatal units in Sweden, received questionnaires. A total number of 116 surveys were analysed (response rate 66 %).Main outcome and results: All units had written guidelines for prevention and treatment of pain. Behavioural treatments were used in every painful procedure in the study, but only1/5 used EMLA® often or always. There was a higher tendency to document the use of drugs than behavioural treatments. The chief neonatologist reported higher use of glucose than did nurses.Conclusions: Swedish national guidelines are not used consistently in some neonatal units. There is a considerably larger cohort of nurses who use behavioral treatments, rather than using drugs when painful procedures are performed. It was also evident that it was more common to document the use of drugs than behavioral treatments.
