The sanitation and urban agriculture nexus: urine collection and application as fertilizer in São Paulo, Brazil

Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u

Convergence properties of Lévy expansions : Implications for odderon and proton structure

We detail here the convergence properties of a new model-independent imaging method, the Lévy expansion, that seems to play an important role in the analysis of the differential cross section of elastic hadron-hadron scattering. We demonstrate, how our earlier results concerning the Odderon effects in the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering as well

Dark Matter carriers from vector-like Technicolor model. Part I.

It is shown that Technicolor model can be formulated having vector-like interaction of Techniquarks with the Standard Model bosons and Dirac mass term. Oblique corrections values for the case agree with experimental restrictions. The model Lagrangian is based on σ−model scheme introducing Techni-meson and Techni-baryon states. Neutral component of a "triplet" of heavy scalar Techni-baryons can be

Organising grassroots initiatives for a more inclusive governance : Constructing the city from below

The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below.The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and t

Investigating the dominant regions of the phase space associated with cc production relevant for the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux

A detailed mapping of the dominant kinematical domains contributing to the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux at high neutrino energies is presented by studying their sensitivity to the cuts on several kinematical variables crucial for charm production in cosmic ray scattering in the atmosphere. This includes the maximal center-of-mass energy for proton-proton scattering, the longitudinal momentum f

NEWS2 is Superior to qSOFA in Detecting Sepsis with Organ Dysfunction in the Emergency Department

Early administration of antibiotics is associated with better survival in sepsis, thus screening and early detection for sepsis is of clinical importance. Current risk stratification scores used for bedside detection of sepsis, for example Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) and National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), are primarily validated for death and intensive care. The primary

Stock Market Returns and Consumption

This paper employs Swedish data on households' stock holdings to investigate how consumption responds to changes in stock market returns. We instrument the actual capital gains and dividend payments with past portfolio weights. Unrealized capital gains lead to a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 23 percent for the bottom 50% of the wealth distribution and about 3 percent for the top 30% of t

Hand bone loss measured by digital X-ray radiogrammetry is a predictor of joint damage in early rheumatoid arthritis

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether loss of bone measured by digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) of hands early in the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may predict future radiographic joint damage after 1 and 2 years. Methods: A total of 166 patients with early RA, who were part of the Better Anti-Rheumatic FarmacOTherapy (BARFOT) low-dose prednisolone study, were included.

Impacts of Microclimate Conditions on the Energy Performance of Buildings in Urban Areas

Urbanization trends have changed the morphology of cities in the past decades. Complex urban areas with wide variations in built density, layout typology, and architectural form have resulted in more complicated microclimate conditions. Microclimate conditions affect the energy performance of buildings and bioclimatic design strategies as well as a high number of engineering applications. However,

”Wallström borde inte ta emot Zarif”

Av flera viktiga skäl borde Margot Wallström ha avstått från mötet med Irans utrikesminister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Islamiska regimen har redan tillräckligt många forum för att driva sin politiska agenda. När mötet ändå äger rum måste Wallström lyfta fram viktig kritik, skriver Arvin Khoshnood och Ardavan Khoshnood.Between 20-21 august 2019, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, will visit Sweden. In this article published in the Swedish newspaper "Svenska Dagbladet", we write that the Swedish foreign minister should not have met him in the first place since he represents a repressive and tyrannical regime.

Open Collaborative Data: a pre-study on an emerging practice

Data intense defined software is becoming more and more prevalent, especially with the advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence. With data intense systems comes both challenges – to continue to collect and maintain quality – and opportunities – open innovation by sharing with others.To understand challenges and opportunities with ODC, we ran 5 focus groups (4 in Lund and 1 in Kista)
