Hereditary deficiencies of protein S (PS) increase the risk of thrombosis. However, assessing the plasma levels of PS is complicated by its manifold physiological interactions, while the large inter-individual variability makes it problematic to establish reliable cut-off values. PS has multiple physiological functions, with only two appearing to have significant anticoagulant properties: the acti
Frequent language exposure and use are among the most important conditions for successful language learning whether in classrooms, during study abroad, or in other informal contexts. Research probing exposure and usage often relies on one-off self-report questionnaires in which participants estimate their typical level of language exposure over extended periods of time, often long after it occurre
The development of inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII is a serious complication of haemophilia. Two haemostatic agents with different bypassing mechanisms have been used in the treatment of patients with inhibitors: activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) and recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa). The objective was to compare cost and outcome of aPCC and rFVIIa in the treatment of joint blee
In January of 2022, I made an installation event at Rönnells. I set larger speakers up on the balcony, and played three of the large-scale multi-channel compositions from this project– Skogen är bäst på bild, Vädersolsmodernitet and Vart ska dom ta vägen nu?–at a very much lowered volume. I made them hoping they could function both as concert pieces and as installations. The event at Rönnels prove
Green ammonia synthesis from nitrogen via photocatalysis and electrocatalysis has emerged as a pivotal research focus in sustainable chemical processes. The efficient catalytic reduction of nitrogen necessitates concurrent nitrogen activation and hydrogen evolution suppression, representing a significant challenge. In this study, CuAu bimetallic-modified TiO2 catalysts were developed and engineere
Introduction: South Africa has one of the highest incidence rates of notified tuberculosis (TB) in the world. Achieving TB control requires strengthening treatment and support services. The implementation of differentiated delivery models can be used to improve service quality and enhance retention in care. This study aimed to identify treatment and support delivery preferences among people on TB
In this paper, we study scalar mediator induced nonstandard interactions (SNSIs) in the context of the ESSnuSB experiment. In particular, we study the capability of ESSnuSB to put bounds on the SNSI parameters and also study the impact of SNSIs in the measurement of the leptonic CP phase δCP. Existence of SNSIs modifies the neutrino mass matrix and this modification can be expressed in terms of th
African women farmers do not always benefit from and are sometimes adversely affected by the introduction of new technologies, including high-yielding varieties and their often-associated improved management systems. This paper seeks to further this claim in the wake of what has been referred to as "the NERICA Revolution" in Uganda, by providing an illustration of the impact the introduction of NE
In this narrative review, we survey recent empirical evaluations of AI-based language assessments and present a case for the technology of large language models to be poised for changing standardized psychological assessment. Artificial intelligence has been undergoing a purported “paradigm shift” initiated by new machine learning models, large language models (e.g., BERT, LAMMA, and that behind C
The importance of prioritising requirements is widely recognised. A number of different techniques for prioritising requirements have been proposed, some based on an ordinal scale, others on a ratio scale. Different scales provide different levels of information, e.g. the ratio scale is richer than the ordinal scale. This paper aims to investigate the difference in information and aim to find ways
Popular vetenskapliga sammanfattning: Slemmiga trådar beskyddar blommande alg Att bada i en sjö där algen Gubbslem blommar är ingen trevlig upplevelse. Hur denna art på frammarch har lyckats invadera svenska sjöar förbryllar forskare. En hypotes är att algen försvarar sig med slemmiga trådar som ställer till det för djurplankton som försöker äta den. Den encelliga algen Gubbslem (Gonyostomum sAbstract The harmful algal bloom (HAB) species Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae) has become more frequent in lakes during the past decades and is now referred to as an invasive species. Grazing resistance due to its large size and trichocysts releasing slimy threads has been suggested as a mechanism behind bloom formation in this species. Here, I performed grazing studies with two naturally occu
This study aims to evaluate the usability of ecotope maps to predict aquatic ecological consequences of floodplain landscape changes. If successful, this method will be applied to evaluate ecological rehabilitation measures that will be carried out in order to improve the ecological status of the large river plains. Ecological value is reflected in indicator metrics for fish, aquatic vegetation, a
This Master’s thesis discusses the subject of documenting processes within the archival science, or more accurately the new injunction 2008:4 and the opinions and attitudes Swedish archivists have in regards to it. The national archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet) put out the injunction in 2008 and all the government-owned authorities has to apply it onto their work. They all have to document their
Degrowth, beyond an ideology, is a comprehensive vision comprised of critical analysis, strategies, and actions denouncing the growth paradigm and presents alternatives calling for radical systemic change. I describe a degrowth vision to compare to my case study, the Cooperativa Integral Catalana (CIC), which is “a transition initiative” in Catalunya, Spain, for autonomous, democratic, and ecologi
The HST proposal aims to solve the cross-border loss relief issue by offering the Home State group the possibility to offset its tax losses against its taxable profits. The political arena within the Community has not proven capable of solving and creating a harmonized tax system. The Home State Taxation proposal can, therefore, prove to be the necessary compromise to solve the cross-border loss r
I svensk rätt finns det – utöver en omfattande skattelagstiftning – två huvudsakliga angreppssätt mot sådant skatteundandragande som vanligen benämns skatteflykt. Dessa består av lagen mot skatteflykt samt en praxisutvecklad princip om att beskattning ska ske på grundval av rättshandlingarnas verkliga innebörd – även kallad genomsynsmetoden. På det skatterättsliga området råder ett absolut föreskrSwedish tax law contains – apart from a vast and detailed tax legislation – two main approaches against the type of tax minimization commonly referred to as tax evasion. These are the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) and the case law based principle that taxation should be based on the true implications of a transaction. According to the Swedish constitution, taxation may only be conducted if th
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing today's society. The construction sector contributes with a substantial part of the country's carbon dioxide emissions and accounts for a large part of Sweden's public procurement. Setting environmental requirements is therefore a very important part of the procurement process to ensure that the production of buildings and infrastr
When a victim is in need, people are less likely to help when there are other persons present. In general, this means that the probability of helping decreases in negative correlation to the number of bystanders affected. In social psychology literature, researchers refer to this phenomenon as the individual Bystander Effect. From another perspective, the decreased probability for the victim to re
