- 2018
-
In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 62nd Annual Meeting. - : Sage Publications. ; , s. 634-638
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction: Rapid and structured medical care is important to increase wounded patients’ chances of survival in modern warfare. This requires a functioning medical chain. Aim: The aim of this study was to expand the knowledge of how the battlefield trauma care affects patient outcome in situations with a large number of casualties in the Swedish armed forces. Methods: An empirical study with a convergent parallel mixed methods design, which included observations and semi-structured interviews. Results: The results show that the trauma care performed at Role 1-units functioned well. The most prominent issue discovered was deficiency in transportation resources for medical evacuation throughout the entire medical chain. Conclusion: Despite that the trauma care performed at Role 1-units functions well, casualties are at risk for preventable complications or death. Improved transportation logistics are required to improve the medical capabilities of the Swedish armed forces.

Double-bunches for two-color soft X-ray free-electron laser at the MAX IV Laboratory
- 2018
-
In: Proceedings of FEL2017, Santa Fe, NM, USA. - 9783954501793 ; , s. 269-272
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The ability to generate two-color free-electron laser (FEL) radiation enables a wider range of user experiments than just single-color FEL radiation. There are different schemes for generating the two colors, the original being to use a single bunch and two sets of undulators with different K-parameters. An alternative scheme was recently shown, where two separate bunches in the same RF bucket are used for lasing at different wavelengths in a single set of undulators. We here investigate the feasibility of accelerating and compressing a double-bunch time structure generated in the photocathode electron gun for subsequent use in a soft X-ray FEL at the MAX IV Laboratory.

Driver-witness-bunches for plasma-wakefield acceleration at the MAX IV Linear Accelerator
- 2017
-
In: IPAC 2017 - Proceedings of the 8th International Particle Accelerator Conference. - 9783954501823 ; , s. 1743-1746
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration is an acceleration scheme promising accelerating fields of at least two to three orders of magnitude higher than in conventional radiofrequency accelerating structures. The scheme relies on using a charged particle bunch (driver) to drive a non-linear plasma wake, into which a second bunch (witness) can be injected at an appropriate distance behind the first, yielding a substantial energy gain of the witness bunch particles. This puts very special demands on the machine providing the particle beam. In this article, we use simulations to show that, if driver-witness-bunches can be generated in the photocathode electron gun, the MAX IV Linear Accelerator could be used for plasma-wakefield acceleration.

New features of arabinoxylan ethers revealed by using multivariate analysis
- 2019
-
In: Carbohydrate Polymers. - : Elsevier BV. - 0144-8617. ; 204, s. 255-261
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- © 2018 Hemicelluloses are a relatively unused renewable resource. One reason is their broad structure variety that makes it hard to understand structure-property relations. In this study arbinoxylan, extracted from barley husk, was chemically modified into hydroxypropyl methyl-, hydroxypropyl- and methyl arabinoxylan. The relationship between structure and phase behavior was investigated by using multivariate analysis. The arabinoxylan ethers were characterized using mid-infrared FTIR spectroscopy and from principal components analysis, PCA, structural or physical variations between samples were visualized. With orthogonal projections to latent structures, OPLS, vibrations specific for arabinoxylan hydroxypropyl and methyl substitutions was assigned. Among the observed differences between chemical derivatives was an intensity change in the water vibration. The differences in hydration were related to clouding phase behavior of the arabinoxylan ethers. This study shows that multivariate analysis methods are useful for finding unexpected and/or hidden features in the polysaccharide structure.

Combined anaerobic-ozonation process for treatment of textile wastewater : Removal of acute toxicity and mutagenicity
- 2015
-
In: Journal of Hazardous Materials. - : Elsevier BV. - 0304-3894 .- 1873-3336. ; 292, s. 52-60
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A novel set up composed of an anaerobic biofilm reactor followed by ozonation was used for treatment of artificial and real textile effluents containing azo dyes. The biological treatment efficiently removed chemical oxygen demand and color. Ozonation further reduced the organic content of the effluents and was very important for the degradation of aromatic compounds, as shown by the reduction of UV absorbance. The acute toxicity toward Vibrio fischeri and the shrimp Artemia salina increased after the biological treatment. No toxicity was detected after ozonation with the exception of the synthetic effluent containing the highest concentration, 1. g/l, of the azo dye Remazol Red. Both untreated and biologically treated textile effluents were found to have mutagenic effects. The mutagenicity increased even further after 1. min of ozonation. No mutagenicity was however detected in the effluents subjected to longer exposure to ozone. The results of this study suggest that the use of ozonation as short post-treatment after a biological process can be beneficial for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds and the removal of toxicity of textile wastewater. However, monitoring of toxicity and especially mutagenicity is crucial and should always be used to assess the success of a treatment strategy. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

A population-based case-control study on statin exposure and risk of acute diverticular disease
- 2016
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0036-5521 .- 1502-7708. ; 51:2, s. 203-210
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: A reduced risk of perforated diverticular disease among individuals with current statin exposure has been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether statins reduce the risk of acute diverticular disease. Material and methods: A nation-wide population-based case-control study was performed, including 13,127 cases hospitalised during 2006-2010 with a first-time diagnosis of colonic diverticular disease, and 128,442 control subjects (matched for sex, age, county of residence and calendar year). Emergency surgery, assumed to be a proxy for complicated diverticulitis, was performed on 906 of the cases during the index admission, with 8818 matched controls. Statin exposure was classified as "current" or "former" if a statin prescription was last dispensed <= 125 days or >125 days before index date, respectively. The association between statin exposure and acute diverticular disease was investigated by conditional logistic regression, including models adjusting for country of birth, educational level, marital status, comorbidities, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug/steroid exposure and healthcare utilisation. Results: A total of 1959 cases (14.9%) and 16,456 controls (12.8%) were current statin users (crude OR 1.23 [95% CI 1.17-1.30]; fully adjusted OR 1.00 [0.94-1.06]). One hundred and thirty-two of the cases subjected to surgery (14.6%), and 1441 of the corresponding controls (16.3%) were current statin users (crude OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.73-1.08]; fully adjusted OR 0.70 [0.55-0.89]). Conclusions: The results do not indicate that statins affect the development of symptomatic diverticular disease in general. However, current statin use was associated with a reduced risk of emergency surgery for diverticular disease.

Remission rate of transcranial magnetic stimulation compared with electroconvulsive therapy : a case-control study
- 2019
-
In: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0803-9488 .- 1502-4725. ; 72:7, s. 471-476
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- PURPOSE: To compare the rate of remission, rate of response, change in depressive symptoms, and adverse effects between repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective case-control study, 35 patients treated for depression with rTMS (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, 90% observed motor threshold, 10 Hz, 2000 pulses/session, 15 sessions) at Örebro University Hospital, Sweden (cases), were compared with a matched group of 35 patients treated for depression with ECT (controls). Data on controls were obtained from the Swedish National Quality Register for ECT (Q-ECT). Severity of depression was evaluated using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression rating scale (MADRS).RESULTS: Remission rate was 26% for cases and 43% for controls (p = .3). Response rate was 40% for cases and 51% for controls (p = .63). The median decrease in MADRS was 11 (IQR 3-19) vs. 17 (IQR 6-27; p = .10) for rTMS and ECT, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in any measure of treatment effect between rTMS and ECT. More than half of the patients of the rTMS group experienced scalp discomfort and 11% of the ECT group had memory disturbances.CONCLUSIONS: All measures of therapeutic efficacy were numerically inferior in the rTMS group compared to the ECT group. The differences were not statistically significant, probably because the sample size was small. More studies are required to find the optimal place for rTMS within the Swedish health care system. Such studies could be facilitated by inclusion of rTMS in the Q-ECT.

Effects of warming on the ecology of algal-dominated phytobenthic communities in the Baltic Sea
- 2015
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Through climate change, the global average air and surface water temperature has risen 0.85°C during the last 100 years. The Baltic Sea experienced one of the most rapid increase in temperature recorded of marine ecosystems. During the last two decades of the 20th century, the surface water temperature of the Baltic Sea has increased seven times faster than the global average.This thesis is an investigation of how community traits, trophic interactions and ecophysiological processes in the filamentous algal belt in the northern Baltic Sea are affected by warming. The majority of the studies were conducted in or in the vicinity of the Forsmark Biotest basin, an artificial heated enclosure of the southern Bothnian Sea (northern Baltic Sea). One study also included sampling along a natural salinity gradient - the Swedish east coast.In the benthic diatom community, we found that cell size decreases with decreasing seasonal temperature, and increased with warming during the cold season. Warming also selected for motile and colonial traits. Along the salinity gradient, cell size decreased with decreasing salinity, apparently mediated by changes in the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio.In the filamentous algal community, warming increased algal cover and photosynthetic capacity, and affected the ratio of carotene to chlorophyll a ratio. Warming also desensitized the photosynthetic response and growth of algal communities exposed to anthropogenic stressors: increased nitrogen and phosphor concentrations as well as copper additions. In connection to one of the field studies, the first finding of the non-native bivalve Mytilopsis leucophaeata in Sweden was also done.Using a fish exclusion experiment in heated and non-heated areas, we found that warming decreases the number of trophic levels in the lower parts of the food web, which in turn lead to increased top-down control and higher algal biomass at heated than unheated sites.In summary, warming has here been shown to have major impacts on the phytobenthic community due to a combination of direct effects on physiological processes, as well as indirect effects mediated by interactions among species and trophic levels.

Expeditionsrapport för 2017 års fiskäggundersökning i Bohusläns skärgårds- och fjordområden
- 2019
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I äggundersökningen i Bohusläns skärgårds- och fjordområde som genomfördes under tre veckor (v. 9, 14 och 17) våren 2017 kunde ägg från total 16 olika fiskarter identifieras med hjälp av så kallade genetiska streckkodsmarkörer. Provtagningsområdet sträckte sig inomskärs från Smögen i norr till Marstrand i söder. Tidiga stadier av fiskägg (stadie Ia-Ib), som indikation på eventuell lokal lek identifierades för arterna: torsk, lerskädda, sandskädda, rödspätta, skarpsill och skrubbskädda. Ägg från ytterligare två torskfiskar - vitling och bleka kunde identifieras dock utan att specifika äggstadier kunde bestämmas. Största koncentrationen av torskägg (alla stadier) hittades utanför Brofjorden samt i Gullmarsfjorden och runt ön Lyr mellan Orust och Tjörn. Tidiga stadier av torskägg (stadie Ia-Ib) hittades framförallt utanför Brofjorden och runt ön Lyr. Plattfiskägg hittades över hela provtagningsområdet dock med en viss koncentration av ägg från rödspätta i och utanför Brofjorden.

In situ warming strengthens trophic cascades in a coastal food web
- 2017
-
In: Oikos. - : Wiley. - 0030-1299 .- 1600-0706. ; 126:8, s. 1150-1161
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Global warming may affect most organisms and their interactions. Theory and simple mesocosm experiments suggest that consumer top-down control over primary producer biomass should strengthen with warming, since consumer respiration increases faster with warming than plant photosynthesis. However, these predictions have so far not been tested on natural communities that have experienced warming over many generations. Natural systems display a higher diversity, heterogeneity and complexity than mesocosms, which could alter predicted effects of warming. Here we used an artificially heated part of the northern Baltic Sea (the Forsmark Biotest basin) to test how warming influences trophic interactions in a shallow coastal food web with four trophic levels: omnivorous fish, invertivorous fish, herbivorous invertebrates, and filamentous macroalgae. Monitoring of fish assemblages over six years showed that small invertivorous fish (gobiids, sticklebacks and minnows) were much less abundant in the heated basin than in unheated references areas. Stomach content analyses of the dominating omnivorous fish - Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis - revealed a strikingly different diet within and outside the Biotest basin; gammarid crustaceans were the dominating prey at heated sites, whereas invertivorous fish (e.g. gobiids) dominated at unheated sites. A 45-day cage experiment showed that fish exclusion did not affect the biomass of algal herbivores (gastropods and gammarids), but reduced algal biomass in heated sites (but not unheated). This suggests that warming induced a trophic cascade from fish to algae, and that this effect was mediated by predator-induced changes in herbivore behavior, rather than number. Overall, our study suggests that warming has effectively compressed the food chain from four to three trophic levels (algae, gammarids and perch), which have benefitted the primary producers by reducing grazing pressure. Consequently, warming appears to have restructured this coastal food web through a combination of direct (physiological) and indirect (species interactions) effects.

Rapport för 2018 års kusttrålningsundersökning av kustnära fiskbestånd längs den svenska västkusten
- 2019
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Kusttrålningar har genomförts längs svenska kusten i Västerhavet sedan 2001. En huvudsaklig målsättning sedan starten har varit att övervaka utvecklingen av lokala bestånd och kustkomponenter av bestånd för ett urval av fiskarter med särskild fokus på torsk. Sedan 2009 är provtagningen fokuserad till kustavsnittet med skärgård mellan Fladen banken i söder och Singlefjorden i norr och sedan 2013 är provtagningen anpassad för att även övervaka fisksamhällets utveckling för Havsmiljödirektivet vad det gäller biologisk mångfald och marina näringsvävar. Årets kusttrålning genomfördes den 3-13 september 2018 då sammanlagt 32 trålstationer besöktes i norra Västerhavet. I kustområden gjordes 24 tråldrag och i utsjön gjordes åtta tråldrag. Fångsterna av torsk längs kusten under 2018 låg i stort sätt på samma låga nivå som föregående år. Förekomsten av stor könsmogen torsk längs kusten var fortsatt mycket låg; den största torsken som fångades i kustområdena under 2018 var 56 cm lång och fångades i Askeröfjorden. Fångsterna av torsk i utsjön under 2018 indikerar i jämförelse med 2017 års provtagning en fortsatt minskning. Fångsterna av torsk i utsjön 2018 var de lägsta som registrerats sedan provtagningen började. Vitling är en av de vanligaste fiskarterna som fångas i kusttrålningen under de senaste åren (2013-2018). De negativa trenderna för vitling både i utsjön och i kustområdena fortsatte under 2018 på samma sätt som under 2017. Fångstnivåerna för kolja i kustområdena var på en liknande nivå som under 2017 års kusttrålning samtidigt som koljan i utsjön befann sig på den lägsta nivå som registrerats sedan kusttrålningen startade. Generellt, vad det gäller torskfiskar så utgjordes fångsterna nästan uteslutande av juvenil fisk. Två arter av rocka fångades – knaggrocka och klorocka. Totalt fångades 48 olika fiskarter.

Beamline design for plasma-wakefield acceleration experiments at MAX IV
- 2019
-
In: 2018 IEEE Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop, ACC 2018 - Proceedings. - 9781538677216
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The MAX IV Laboratory is a synchrotron radiation user facility located just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. The facility is made up of two storage rings, at 3 GeV and 1.5 GeV, respectively, and a linear accelerator, serving as a full-energy injector for the rings as well as a driver for the Short-Pulse Facility (SPF) located downstream of the extraction point to the 3 GeV ring. Recently, as part of the Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) project, a design study towards using the linac as a soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) driver was started. Part of the study is the design and commissioning of a diagnostics beamline based on a Transverse Deflecting Structure (TDS). Moreover, the PlasMAX collaboration is working towards using the MAX IV linac also for beam-driven plasma-wakefield (PWFA) experiments. Therefore, the design of the diagnostics beamline is being done to also accommodate an interaction chamber and final focusing, located upstream of the TDS. This proceeding details the current status of the beamline design and shows some preliminary single- A nd double-bunch current measurements.

Experience and initial measurements of magnetic linearisation in the MAX IV linac bunch compressors
- 2017
-
In: Proceedings of FEL2017, Santa Fe, NM, USA. - 9783954501793 ; , s. 273-275
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The MAX IV Linac is now in routine operation for injection into two storage rings, and as a high-brightness driver for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF). In short-pulse mode the electron bunch is created in a photo cathode gun and compressed in two double achromat bunch compressors that also linearise longitudinal phase space with the second order transfer matrix element T566. T566 in the compressors canbe tweaked with weak sextupoles located at high dispersion. In this paper we present the current experience from operating the bunch compressors at MAX IV and results from initial measurements of longitudinal phase space using our version of the the zero-crossing method.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The MAX IV linac is used both for injection into a 3 GeV storage ring, and as a high brightness driver for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF). It has also been deigned to handle the high demands of an FEL injector. The linac is now routinely injecting into the two storagerings, and commissioning work is focused towards delivering high brightness pulses to the SPF. In this paper we present results from characterisation of the linac in ring injection mode, as well as results from measurements of key parameters for the SPF such as bunch length and emittance.
