Researchers at the University of Gothenburg are to make a new measurement at the site of the Nord Stream leaks in the southern Baltic Sea, writes TT. This time they will find out where the methane has gone since the leak and the consequences of the release into the sea will be investigated.

Methane levels in the water around the leaks were measured to be 1,000 times higher than normal during the first survey done using underwater robots.

The samples from that expedition are still being analyzed, but according to the researchers, more measurements are needed to be able to draw conclusions about the impact the large gas release has on the water and biological life in the sea.

The new expedition with the research vessel Skagerak will begin on January 8 and will last for one week.

SMHI has issued a yellow warning about sudden ice slippage in Dalsland, parts of Bohuslän and southern Värmland.

The warning applies from Saturday evening until Sunday morning as a result of rain falling on cold roads, SMHI writes on its website.

The risk of more patients dying seems to increase in connection with the reduction in the number of care places, writes TT and refers researchers who have looked at the development in Sweden’s regions.

Sweden is the country within the EU that has the lowest number of care places per capita, and they are getting fewer.

It may be a natural consequence of the medical and technological development as patients can be discharged after a shorter period of care today, some believe.

However, researchers at Uppsala and Linköping universities have analyzed data on the reduction of care places in relation to the number of deaths and have a different view.

– On the whole, it looks like the reduction in the number of care places has been bad. In healthcare, this has long been claimed and our study provides more evidence that it seems to be so, says Jonathan Siverskog at the Center for Health Economics Research at Uppsala University and one of the researchers behind the study, to TT.

Starting next year, it will be more expensive to travel by public transport in eleven regions in Sweden, reports Echo.

The increase is estimated to be around five percent, and overall a 30-day county card for adults will be between SEK 30 and 100 more expensive in the month in which the increase is made.

Increased costs for, among other things, fuel and the global situation are behind the increase.

There is a model that shows that a price increase of ten percent leads to approximately four percent fewer travelers in general, says John Hultén, director of K2, which is Sweden’s national center for research and education on public transport, to Ekot.
