The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery t
Bakgrund: Beslut om livsuppehållande åtgärder (LUÅ) inom akutsjukvård utgör en komplex del av sjuksköterskans yrkesutövning och innebär ofta etiska och emotionella utmaningar. Utförandet av livsuppehållande åtgärder kan medföra att förlängt liv, ibland på bekostnad av en försämrad livskvalitet för patienten. Den akuta och tidskritiska vårdmiljön medför risk för att patientens autonomi, delaktighetBackground: Decisions regarding life-sustaining treatment (LUÅ) in emergency care represent a complex aspect of nursing practice and often involve ethical and emotional challenges. The implementation of life-sustaining treatment can prolong life, sometimes at the expense of the patient’s quality of afterlife. The acute and time-critical care environment entails a risk that the patient’s autonomy,
The phasing out of fossil fuels continues to be of great importance if our society is to complete the green transition. One of the most interesting alternatives to fossil fuels is bio-fuels but these have not been shown to outperform fossil fuels in all areas, as of yet. This is especially true in applications that require high performance and have high safety standars, such as the aviation indust

The immune system represents a promising novel target for prevention of atherosclerosis. Several pilot vaccines that reduce atherosclerosis in experimental animals have been developed. The aluminum hydroxide adjuvant Alum has been shown to have antiatherogenic properties in itself, suggesting that it may be a suitable adjuvant in possible future atherosclerosis vaccines. To characterize the immune
Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), exemplified by models such as ChatGPT, has rapidly advanced, becoming a significant force in various sectors, including higher education. ChatGPT, a leading application of Gen AI, utilizes large language models (LLMs) to generate human-like text, providing capabilities that range from answering complex questions to facilitating software development. As
BackgroundThe relationship between sleeping habits and aortic stiffness remains inconclusive and is not fully explored in the European general population.MethodsWe examined cross-sectionally 8659 participants from the Swedish population-based cohort Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), mean age 57.5 years, 52.1% women. A self-administered questionnaire on sleeping habits (duration, qua
[Background] The game industry faces fierce competition and games are developed on short deadlines and tight budgets. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas and features is essential in validating and guiding development toward market viability and success. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires user data, which is often limited in early development stages. This challenge is
Multiplanetary systems spanning the radius valley are ideal testing grounds for exploring the different proposed explanations for the observed bimodality in the radius distribution of close-in exoplanets. One such system is HIP 29442 (TOI-469), an evolved K0V star hosting two super-Earths and one sub-Neptune. We observed HIP 29442 with CHEOPS for a total of 9.6 days, which we modelled jointly with
Embedded-cluster models of crystalline solids are important to allow accurate wave function methods to be applicable to solids. The ab initio model potential method for embedding ionic solids has historically been shown to be a viable tool. While useful, the method has been limited by the need to generate such potentials for each crystal structure and the lack of a freely available program for gen
Background: Proficient Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping services are essential to support HPV and cervical cancer elimination strategies, in particular to support HPV vaccine research. Objectives: To perform a global HPV genotyping proficiency study, with evaluation in relation to previous proficiency studies. Study design: The proficiency panel contained 44 coded samples (40 samples containi
Monocytes are key players in innate immunity, with their ability to regulate inflammatory responses and combat invading pathogens. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) participate in various cellular biological processes, including the innate immune response. The immunoregulatory properties of numerous lncRNAs discovered in monocytes remain largely unexp
Harp seals (Phoca groenlandicus), once present in the Baltic Sea, now stand extinct. During the Middle Neolithic period, they held significant dietary importance for the Pitted Ware Culture hunter-fisher-gatherers in Scandinavia. Because they are no longer available for ecological studies, little is known about their specific behavioural intricacies, such as diet, mobility, and reproductive strate
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been associated with comorbidities, e.g., cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the relation between SpA and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of COPD in SpA to the general population. Patients with prevalent SpA in Skåne, Sweden, on December 31, 2018, were identified based on diagnostic cod
The aim of this study was to describe changes in the use of accident and emergency departments in the Copenhagen Hospital Co-operation after restricted admittance to the accident and emergency department at a large Danish university hospital, Rigshospitalet (admittance only for patients transported by ambulance or presenting with a referral from a doctor).MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective stud
OBJECTIVE: To analyse survival rates and causes of death in adults with spina bifida in Sweden compared with a matched control group.DESIGN AND METHODS: This population-based study included 11,900 adults born between 1950 and 1997. Three national Swedish registers were used to identify individuals with a diagnosis of spina bifida and a matched control group without spina bifida in the period 1990-
