We investigated the dissociation of dications and trications of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fluorene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. PAHs are a family of molecules ubiquitous in space and involved in much of the chemistry of the interstellar medium. In our experiments, ions are formed by interaction with 30.3 nm extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photons, and their velocity map images are rec
Lower severity cycling collisions, and single cyclist collisions (or single bicycle crashes) are significantly underreported in police statistics, introducing biases into the types of collisions that are available for analysis. Furthermore, many lower severity collisions do not appear in other collision data sources (e.g. hospital and insurance data). This in turn affects priorities for cyclist sa
Nanocomposite materials which are considered ‘green’ refer to non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable nanocomposites. The reasons of preferring green nanocomposites much more could be explained by environmental friendly, fully degradability, renewability and sustainability in all respects. Furthermore, the production of green nanocomposites should not be based on toxic chemicals. When their functio
PURPOSE: Given the paucity of data regarding workplace risk of COVID-19, particularly from countries with limited lockdowns, we aimed to quantify the occupational risks of COVID-19-related hospital admission among workers in Sweden.METHODS: We identified 607,179 employed individuals, 20-69 years of age, in Skåne, Sweden. From December 31st, 2019-December 31st 2021, 2,633 incident COVID-19-related
This thesis presents four interconnected studies showing methods for characterizing and separating cells based on their acoustic properties, with particular focus on isolating rare cells from blood samples.The first study introduces a technique for single-cell density measurements using microcapillary-adapted density gradient centrifugation. Using fluorescent markers to visualize the density gradi
OBJECTIVES: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is a promising alternative to traditional opioid-based anesthesia. Research indicates that OFA reduces postoperative opioid consumption and related adverse effects while maintaining effective pain control and patient safety. Despite these benefits, clinical adoption of OFA remains limited, possible due to gaps in evidence. To bridge this knowledge gap, a we
In this forum, seven scholars discuss Oliver P. Richmond’s The Grand Design: The Evolution of the International Peace Architecture, published in 2022. The editors, Gëzim Visoka and Annika Björkdahl, contextualise the book’s contribution within the broader intellectual framework of Richmond’s thoughts and writings on peace in the context of International Relations. Roland Bleiker examines the book’
Aggrecan (ACAN) is localized in the intervertebral disc (IVD) in unique compartment-specific patterns where it contributes to the tissue structure and mechanical function together with collagens. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the IVD undergoes degenerative changes during aging, misuse or trauma, which inevitably alter the biochemical and biomechanical properties of the tissue. A deeper underst
In the 1920s and 30s, a criminal investigation followed by a trial against a group of allegedly homosexual men was launched in Gothenburg, Sweden. Almost a century later, Swedish artist Conny Karlsson Lundgren engages with these events in a multifaceted two-part installation and performative work that borrows the title from the investigation, The Gothenburg Affair (Göteborgsaffären). In this artic
The flavour-tagging algorithms developed by the ATLAS Collaboration and used to analyse its dataset of s=13 TeV pp collisions from Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider are presented. These new tagging algorithms are based on recurrent and deep neural networks, and their performance is evaluated in simulated collision events. These developments yield considerable improvements over previous jet-flavou
Quantitative in-cylinder measurements of soot volume fraction in a single-cylinder HSDI Diesel engine, based on a VOLVO D5, has been carried out using the laser-induced incandescence (LII) technique using laser excitation at 1064 nm and an ICCD camera with prompt gate detection. Quantitative data was obtained by relating the LII signal response from the engine to that from a calibration flame. The
Despite evidence that cesarean section rates above 10 percent at the population level do not reduce maternal or neonatal mortality, global rates continue to rise and are projected to reach 30 percent by 2030. The factors behind this increase are complex and vary across contexts, emphasizing the need for a local understanding in order to design and implement effective interventions to curb overuse.
Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka användningen av naturrättsligt språkbruk i de danska agrarreformerna, cirka 1750-1800. Detta görs genom en social kontextualisering som fokuserar på de sprickor som fanns i det danska samhället före och under reformperioden. Jag hävdar att dessa huvudsakligen utgjordes av interna materiella skillnader inom den danska jordägande eliten, inklusive deras oPopular science description The agrarian reforms of the 18th century were some of the most momentous historical events in Danish history. In the span of 30 years, half of all peasants went from living in a state of serfdom to owning and cultivating their own plots of land, free from the onerous ties of manorial dependence that they had toiled under for hundreds of years. In this pioneering dissert
Episodic memory allows the flexible retrieval of commonalities and idiosyncrasies of overlapping life events. For example, seeing a woman in the city with your colleague's daughter may form an integrated memory representation involving the woman and your colleague. However, you may also keep a specific representation of the city event to talk with your colleague about the circumstances of having m
BACKGROUND: The advent of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has revolutionized lung cancer treatment, necessitating accurate PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment. While standardized for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) histological samples, PD-L1 testing on cytology remains challenging. This review aims to address the complexities of PD-L1 IHC in cytology, focusing on validation guidelines, quali
The EU’s recent regulatory approach in the digital sphere promises to introduce greater consideration for fundamental rights. However, this does not apply to all fundamental rights and their holders equally. With particular focus on the freedom to conduct a business, this article will be exploring the restrictions imposed on certain undertakings—so-called gatekeepers—operating in the Digital Singl
