  5. 3. Measuring the solar atmosphere

    Author : Jaime de la Cruz Rodríguez; Göran Scharmer; Dan Kiselman; Mats Carlsson; Gianna Cauzzi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sun; Chromosphere; Spectropolarimetry; Solar observations; Spectral lines; Solar magnetic fields; Astronomy; Astronomi; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : The new CRISP filter at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope provides opportunities for observing the solar atmosphere with unprecedented spatial resolution and cadence. In order to benefit from the high quality of observational data from this instrument, we have developed methods for calibrating and restoring polarized Stokes images, obtained at optical and near infrared wavelengths, taking into account field-of-view variations of the filter properties.

  6. 4. TAKING CARE OF OTHERS - WHAT'S IN IT FOR US? Exploring workplace-related health from a salutogenic perspective in a nursing context

    Author : Åsa Bringsén; Allmänmedicin och samhällsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; salutogenesis; health care worker; Workplace health promotion; flow; complexity; SHIS; instrument;

    Abstract : The aim was to explore and make sense of a salutogenic relationship between workplace, work and health, through an employee perspective in a Swedish nursing context. The aim was also to make sense of the role of a workplace health promotion (WHP) process, in a salutogenic public health perspective, and develop useful instruments for this kind of health-related development work.

  7. 5. Influence of Substrate Topography on Ink Distribution in Flexography

    Author : Gustavo Gil Barros; Per-Åke Johansson; Gunnar Engström; Magnus Lestelius; Patrice J. Mangin; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; paperboard; topography; optical measurement; OptiTopo; flexography; flexo; print quality; printability; uncovered area; UCA; image analysis; frequency analysis; surface properties; paper properties; test equipment; measuring instrument; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The printability of paper in flexography is largely dependent on the topographical characteristics of the substrate. Topography imaging instruments make it possible to obtain three-dimensional scans of paper surfaces that can be further used to calculate valuable quality parameters. READ MORE
