We present experimental data for a vertical, 22-nm-diameter InAs/(In)GaAsSb nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor that exhibits the highest reported I60 of 1.2 μA/μm , paving the way for low power applications. The transistor reaches a minimum subthreshold swing of 43 mV/dec at VDS = 300 mV with a sub-60 mV/dec operation over a wide current range. Combined with a high transconductance of 205 μS/
The aim was to explore political representatives' experiences of child participation in decision-making processes in municipalities. Interviews were conducted with Swedish politicians (n = 7) representing four municipalities. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. Politicians had experiences in child participation and methods for involving children and young people in the pract
This study examined the relationship between physical activity, body image, and subjective well-being among Swedish adolescents over time. Surveying 2308 students, with 137 providing longitudinal data, we conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis. No significant correlations were found between physical activity (p =.268), body functioning (p =.567), or body appearance (p =.075) at age
The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of pain among students at upper secondary schools (adolescents aged 16–19 years) in Sweden. Focus group (n = 9) interviews with 41 adolescents were conducted in southern Sweden in 2021. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis, which identified four categories encompassing the theme how pain expressed itself: (1) a warning b
Background: Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes may have higher subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease, but the long-term independent risks and potential causality are unclear. Objective: This study aimed to determine long-term risks of chronic kidney disease associated with 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in a large population-based cohort, and to assess for familial confounding using co-
A search for flavour-changing neutral-current decays of a top quark into an up-type quark (either up or charm) and a light scalar particle X decaying into a bottom anti-bottom quark pair is presented. The search focuses on top-quark pair production where one top quark decays to qX, with X → bb¯ , and the other top quark decays according to the Standard Model, with the W boson decaying leptonically
Background: The period after a child is discharged from hospital is generally described as challenging for the parents. Their satisfaction with the health services received is an important indicator of the quality of care. eHealth devices are increasingly used in health care to support communication with parents. Differences in levels of parental satisfaction by modality of provided care or by par
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is a global problem among adolescents living with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), and it is associated with treatment failure and the development of viral resistance. One of the most significant barriers to treatment adherence among adolescents is forgetting to take drugs as prescribed. One of the key strategies recommended to improve this problem is the u
Collaborative practice among teachers, where teachers collaborate around their teaching practice, is known to optimise student learning in primary and secondary schools, where they are encouraged to create shared conceptions of vision, purpose and means. In higher education, however, studies on teachers working as teams and abandoning traditional norms of isolation and individualism around teachin
Background: The study of thoracic injuries and biomechanics during CPR requires detailed studies that are very scarce. The role of the heart in CPR biomechanics has not been determined. This study aimed to determine the risk factors importance for serious ribcage damage due to CPR. Methods: Data were collected from a prospective registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between April 2014 and Apr
Determining the child’s best interests in a hospital setting will ideally involve the combined views of children, parents, and healthcare professionals. However, few studies have explored parents’ experiences of their child’s best interests when they engage with the healthcare system. Therefore, this study aimed to explore parents’ experiences of their child’s best interests during hospitalisation
Experiences of loneliness are common during adolescence and previous research has shown these experiences to be related to physical and mental ill-being. However, there is limited knowledge of one kind of loneliness during adolescence–existential loneliness–which can challenge the possibilities of offering adequate support. Narrations of experiences in retrospect may lead to a deepened understandi
Age and aging are the major determinants of most common major diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). With increasing age, the cardiovascular risk increases as well as frailty, with negative consequences for health such as coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and vascular dementia. However, this aging process seems to take a more rapid course in some individuals,
Background: Mental health problems among adolescents is a global challenge. During the transition to adolescence, physiological, psychological, and social changes occur, leading to increased vulnerability. Thus, adolescent boys are less likely to seek help for mental health problems, which makes them an undetected group. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of adolescent boys’
Objective To assess the intervention fidelity and explore contextual factors affecting the process of implementing a mobile phone text messaging intervention in improving adherence to and retention in care among adolescents living with HIV, their families and their healthcare providers in southern Ethiopia. Design A convergent mixed-methods design guided by the process evaluation theoretical frame
Aim: To investigate mothers' experience of infant massage. Design: This was an exploratory-descriptive qualitative study based on individual interviews. Methods: A qualitative interview study with an inductive approach was used according to the COREQ guidelines. The participants in the study were mothers (n = 11) residing in Sweden who received training in infant massage from the child health care
Hydrogen in a hexapole collision cell is used with varying success in multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry to reduce the plasma derived interferences 40Ar16O+ and 40Ar16OH+ that are isobaric with 56Fe+ and 57Fe+ respectively. The reactions of ArO+ and ArOH+ with H2 in the hexapole of a multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer were studied practically and
Among adolescents, loneliness is common. One kind of loneliness, existential loneliness, is understood as a painful part of the human condition. During adolescence, existential loneliness has been shown to be challenging to navigate independently. Therefore, this study aimed to explore Swedish adolescents’ experiences of existential loneliness regarding receiving and providing support. This study
The possibilities of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) are both exciting and potentially concerning in many aspects of higher education. One concern may be that the increased use of GenAI tools exacerbates and perpetuates structural inequities due to the material used to train these tools, counteracting efforts to build inclusive learning communities. In this chapter, we consider how univ
Background: Including people with severe/profound intellectual disabilities as research participants challenges researchers due to their diverse abilities to participate and express themselves. Ensuring the rigour of the research and the credibility of the findings presents a challenge.Methods: We use examples from our research to demonstrate that Classic Grounded Theory offers a systematic but fl
