Lifetimes of photoexcited charge transfer (CT) states in transition metal chromophores are influenced by low-lying ligand field (LF) excited states, especially for 3d metal complexes. To manipulate interactions between LF and CT states, it is important to be able to control LF excited state energies using tunable synthetic variables. In this report, we use Fe 2p3d L3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray

The growing vulnerability of cities to extreme heat underscores the urgency of effective urban adaptation policies. Despite the progress in developing urban climate policies and strategies, there remains a significant disparity between intended goals and actual outcomes. This could entrench social and climate vulnerabilities that are costly and challenging to address, potentially resulting in rein

Early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on women’s reproduction and reproductive health. To deepen our understanding of the full effects of disease exposure in early life, including long-term consequences, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and their offspring’s health. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Undersökning av bihåleventilation med 133-xenon washout teknik och gammakamera med tomografi, gör det möjligt att mäta ventilationen även i de djupa bihålorna som bakre ethmoidalsinus och sphenoidalsinus. Mätningar visar reproducerbara resultat hos friska försökspersoner där normala variationer i näsandningsmotstånd och kroppsläge ej påverkar mätresultaten. BihåleventilA noninvasive 133-xenon washout technique was used to evaluate the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses in healthy subjects and in patients with sinus disease. A mixture of air and 133-xenon is insufflated into the nasal cavities and passage into the sinuses is facilitated by a pressure increase created by letting the subjects inflate a balloon. A scintillation camera allowing single photon emissi

A dynamic, process-oriented, deterministic and phosphorus-based model was developed to simulate the food web dynamics of Lake Ringsjön, in particular the long-term effects of biomanipulation in terms of reduction of omnivorous fish. The model contains 14 state variables, each with a differential equation describing sources and sinks of phosphorus. The state variables encompass piscivorous and omni

Community mobility, defined as "moving [ones] self in the community and using public or private transportation", has a unique ability to promote older peoples' wellbeing by enabling independence and access to activity arenas for interaction with others. Early predictors of decreased community mobility among older men and women are useful in developing health promoting strategies. However, long-ter

The calibration theorem by Rabin [Rabin, M., 2000a. Risk aversion and expected utility theory: A calibration theorem. Econometrica 68, 1281-1292; Rabin, M., 2000b.

The cerebellar cortex is necessary for adaptively timed conditioned responses (CRs) in eyeblink conditioning. During conditioning, Purkinje cells acquire pause responses or "Purkinje cell CRs" to the conditioned stimuli (CS), resulting in disinhibition of the cerebellar nuclei (CN), allowing them to activate motor nuclei that control eyeblinks. This disinhibition also causes inhibition of the infe

Phthalates are ubiquitous industrial chemicals that have been associated with altered reproductive function in rodents. Several human studies have reported an inverse association between male testosterone and phthalate levels. Our aim was to investigate time to pregnancy (TTP) according to serum levels of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) metabolites in both partners. I

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem stycken artiklar som analyserar och estimerar finansiella prisprocesser. Alla artiklarna handlar också om stokastiska volatilitetsprocesser som estimeras med Bayesiansk statistik och Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) metoder. Det första pappret utvecklar en modell för att mäta den amerikanska och de regionala europeiska aktiemarknadernas påverkThis dissertation consists of five papers concerned with the estimation and analysis of financial price processes. The first paper develops a stock price model and analyzes the impact of the US and the regional European stock markets on the local European countries’ stock markets. Among several things, we find that the dependencies among the stock markets do not increase during periods of distress

Abstract in Spanish A pesar de que el mercado laboral sueco ha permanecido relativamente intacto durante la crisis económica en los últimos seis años, la integración de personas con capacidad laboral reducida a causa de discapacidades es significativamente menor que la de otros grupos sociales. La legislación sueca sobre discapacidad y trabajo cubre varios aspectos en medidas de integración, antidEven though the Swedish labour market has been more or less intact during the financial crisis in the past six years, persons with reduced working capacity due to disabilities are significantly less integrated in the labour market than other groups in society. Swedish legislation on disability and work provides for a number of different aspects of integrative measures, anti-discrimination and prov

In a broad range of species-including humans-it has been demonstrated that telomere length declines throughout life and that it may be involved in cell and organismal senescence. This potential link to ageing and thus to fitness has triggered recent interest in understanding how variation in telomere length is inherited and maintained. However, previous studies suffer from two main drawbacks that

The article discusses the identity, roles, and duties of the professional historian in an era in which the historical dimension is no longer a historian's monopoly. It is argued that the standard modern framework of understanding a historian as someone highly specialized in the production of 'new' history has to give way to a new understanding that situates the historian in historical culture, whi

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att ge en god omvårdnad behövs kunskaper om ätproblem som helhet och om möjliga hinder för optimalt näringsintag hos äldre patienter, särskilt de med stroke. Sådana kunskaper behövs eftersom åldrandet i sig självt eller tillsammans med sjukdom, t.ex. stroke och dess följder, kan påverka förmågan att äta och därmed också näringsintaget med ökad risk för såväl undernäThe aim of this thesis was to describe eating difficulties and interventions to improve eating among elderly patients, especially those with stroke, to make comparisons between patients with dysphagia and those without (Papers I & II), those with and without assisted eating (Paper IV), and to analyse the relation between eating difficulties, nutritional status (Papers II-V), pressure ulcers (P

Cellulose, a polysaccharide consisting of beta-1,4-linked glucose, is the major component of plant cell walls and consequently one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth. Carbohydrate polymers such as cellulose are molecules with vast diversity in structure and function, and a multiplicity of hydrolases operating in concert are required for depolymerisation. The bacterium Rhodothermus marinus,

Increased temperatures and concomitant changes in vegetation patterns are expected to dramatically alter the functioning of northern ecosystems over the next few decades. Predicting the ecosystem response to such a shift in climate and vegetation is complicated by the lack of knowledge about the links between aboveground biota and belowground process rates. Current models suggest that increasing t

Researchers studying individual variation in conspicuous skin coloration in primates have suggested that color indicates male quality. Although primate fur color can also be flamboyant, the potential condition dependence and thus signaling function of fur remains poorly studied. We studied sources of variation in sexually dichromatic facial hair coloration in red-fronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus ruf

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cykeln som transportmedel har många fördelar för individ och samhälle. Det är ett mycket energisnålt transportmedel, det förorenar inte, bullrar inte, tar liten plats och ger dem som cyklar välbefinnande och motion. Om fler cyklade istället för att åka bil skulle detta medföra trevligare stadsmiljöer. Ökad cykling hade också kunnat bidra till en ökad folkhälsa. För närThis work presents an evaluation of bicycle lane effects on cyclist safety and the ability of bicycles to compete with car traffic. Thirteen Swedish urban streets were studied before and after bicycle lanes were introduced. Data was collected using video recordings, speed studies, road side questionnaires/interviews with cyclists/car drivers, conflict studies and accident analysis. Results showed

This paper establishes reserve price as an ethical necessity contrary to its popular interpretation as an instrument of revenue maximization. It provides an axiomatic justification to reserve pricing at Vickrey auction in single as well as multiple objects settings. In particular, it provides a topological interpretation of a reserve price as the infimum of the set of non-negative real numbers sat
