Zone folded coherent acoustic phonons were generated in a multilayered GaSb/InAs epitaxial heterostructure via rapid heating by femtosecond laser pulses. These phonons were probed by means of ultrafast x-ray diffraction. Phonons both from the fundamental acoustic branch and the first back-folded branch were detected. This represents the first clear evidence for phonon branch folding based directly
Preclinical studies support an anticancer effect of statin drugs, yet epidemiologic evidence remains inconsistent regarding their role in breast cancer primary prevention. Here, we report an updated analysis of the association between statin use and breast cancer incidence in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) cohort. Postmenopausal NHS participants without a cancer history were followed from 2000 unt
This work focuses on the investigation on both local and global dielectric properties for a random wound single tooth winding, which represents a segment of the in-field electrical machine used on an Hybrid Wheel Loader. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to predict the temperature stress while loading and illustrate the influences of dielectric properties (i.e. conductivity and dielectric cons
Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish this link the study provides historical and predicted climatic changes for two drought sensitive agro-ecological zones in Ghana and further determines how these changes have influ
Sweden's connections to and relationships with the European and wider world is a field of study attracting considerable scholarly attention. The essays here, from archaeologists and historians, offer a new perspective on early modern Sweden as deeply affected by the increasing internationality of the 16th-18th centuries. Set in the socio-political context of an expanding and changing kingdom, they
BACKGROUND: In Sweden, approximately half of all individuals who die receive municipal care prior to death. Access to high-quality palliative care remains unequal, with known disparities between both care settings and diagnostic groups. Individuals receiving municipal home care are at higher risk of acute hospital admissions and in hospital death than those in long-term care facilities. However, t
Lojalitetsplikten, även benämnd lojalitetsprincipen, är en allmän rättsprincip i svensk avtalsrätt som innebär en plikt att beakta motpartens intressen utö-ver avtalets reglerade utfästelser. Definitioner av lojalitetsplikten ger inte mycket ledning för hur den ska förstås. Vad som därför är relevant är hur begreppet används. Generellt vilar lojalitetsplikten på outtalade förpliktelser som utgår fThe duty of loyalty, also known as the principle of loyalty, is regarded as a general principle of law in Swedish contract law. It implies a duty to observe the interests of the counter-party beyond the regulated obligations in the contract. Different definitions of the duty of loyalty do not give much advice as of how it should be interpreted. Therefore, what is relevant is how the principle is b
The need for large-scale production of highly accurate simulated event samples for the extensive physics programme of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider motivates the development of new simulation techniques. Building on the recent success of deep learning algorithms, variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks are investigated for modelling the response of the cent
OBJECTIVES: To compare somatic healthcare usage among older people with intellectual disabilities (ID) to that of their age-peers in the general population, taking into account health and demographic factors, and to identify predictors for somatic healthcare usage among older people with ID.PARTICIPANTS: Equally sized cohorts, one with people with ID and one referent cohort, one-to-one-matched by
The “alla kan blomstra” (“everyone can flourish”) vision is a framework adopted by Åland’s government that attempts to institutionalize integrative inner-outer transformation within governmental structures, policies and operations. It aims to merge conventional external approaches (e.g., traditional ecological services and technologies) with inner-led change (e.g., addressing collective perceptio
This Development Dissertation Brief summarises a study of Sweden’s long-term media aid engagement in Vietnam from 1993 to 2007, examining howjournalistic skills, norms and practices were introduced, translated and reshapedwithin an authoritarian media system. Drawing on project documentation andinterviews with Swedish journalism trainers and radio technicians, the disserta-tion analyses how techno
In this data article, we report real-world data on multichannel connectivity and videotransmission carried on commercial 3G/4G networks in the region of Skåne, southern Sweden. The data reported here complement the research article “Technical feasibility and ambulance nurses’ view of a digital telemedicine system in pre-hospital stroke care – A pilot study” (1). The dataset was originally collecte
The glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1) is upregulated during astrocyte development and maturation in vivo and is vital for astrocyte function. Yet it is expressed at low levels by most cultured astrocytes. We previously showed that maturation of human and mouse stem cell-derived astrocytes - including functional glutamate uptake - could be enhanced by fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 or FGF2. Here, we
Aim: Many pediatric cancer patients undergo repeated bone marrow aspirations (BMAs) for diagnostic and treatment evaluation purposes. Full anesthesia is the standard of care during this procedure in high-income countries. At hospitals with low resources in low/middle-income countries many children undergo these painful procedures without sufficient pain relief. This study aimed to evaluate the use
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of the Swedish health authority recommendation against the use of knee arthroscopy in patients aged ≥40 years with knee osteoarthritis (OA).DESIGN: Interrupted time series analysis.SETTING: Public health care in Skåne region.PARTICIPANTS: Patients aged ≥40 years who underwent knee arthroscopy from January 2010 to December 2015.INTERVENTION(S): National guideline's r
19MOD_Taking action to enhance student learning LTH:s 12:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 7 december 2023 Abstract—A process for improving programme courses has been developed. The process has been implemented on three courses, which had reoccurring problems and/or had received significant negative criticism from students, all of which have been improved. The usefulness of the process has been

Microsoft Word - FinalGenderAndProgramming.doc Abstract—Our study highlights the effects of gender-related learning styles on a computer programming course at introductory level of engineering education. It was triggered by the observation of statistically relevant under-achievements among female students over the years. We try to identify concrete differences in motivation/learning styles between
