Functionalized computed tomography (CT) in combination with labelled cells is virtually non-existent due to the limited sensitivity of X-ray-absorption-based imaging, but would be highly desirable to realise cell tracking studies in entire organisms. In this study we applied in-line free propagation X-ray phase-contrast CT (XPCT) in an allergic asthma mouse model to assess structural changes as we
Purpose: Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly used in neuro-oncology. However, little is known about its application across European institutions and reasons for variable implementation. Methods: Between June and August 2024, members of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Brain Tumour Group (EORTC-BTG) completed a cross-sectional online survey on PET use
A search is presented for direct pair production of the stop, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in a decay through an Formula Presented-parity violating coupling to a charged lepton and a Formula Presented-quark. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of Formula Presented collected between 2015 and
BACKGROUND: The management of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients depends on comorbidities, pre-fracture mobility, any hip joint disease, and life expectancy, with treatment typically involving either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). While cemented femoral stem fixation is standard, there is no clear consensus regarding cemented versus cementless cup fixation in
A general formulation for the distribution problem is presented, which is applicable to frequency distributions of subgrid-scale variables and hydrometeor size distributions, as well as to probability distributions characterizing data uncertainties. The general formulation is presented based upon two well-known basic principles: the maximum-entropy principle and the Liouville equation. The maximum
Background: Head and neck cancer patients often experience muscle wasting due to malnutrition and the hypermetabolism of cancer. For those undergoing total laryngectomy (TL), there is the potential for peri-operative complications. Sarcopenia has gained recognition as a prognostic factor in head and neck cancer. However, there is marked variability in the ways sarcopenia is defined and poor charac
BackgroundAdvanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most widely adopted form of trauma life support training worldwide, but there is no high-quality evidence that it can improve patient outcomes. The aim of this trial is to compare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients.MethodsADVANCE TRAUMA is a batched stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled
A search for a dark photon, a new light neutral particle, which decays promptly into collimated pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The search targets dark photons resulting from the exotic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson, assuming its production via the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mode. The analysis is based on 140fb-1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Co
Many extensions of the Standard Model, including those with dark matter particles, propose new mediator particles that decay into hadrons. This paper presents a search for such low mass narrow resonances decaying into hadrons using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonances are searched for in the invariant mass sp
Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a complex solution for Saskatchewan’s energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources. As Saskatchewan predominantly relies on fossil fuels for its electricity needs, the consideration of SMRs by SaskPower is in hopes of decreasing carbon emissions and maintaining energy security. SMRs offer several advantages, including modularity, grid stabilit
Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum
Soil as a fundamental, conditionally renewable natural resource is increasingly under threat from unsustainable farming practices in a changing environment. In Hungary, expansive areas of land are susceptible to soil degradation, while only a small percentage of farmers currently applies soil conservation practices (SCPs). Degraded soils have an impact on food production, climate adaptation, clima
Objectives: Romania joined to European Union (EU) in 2007. Consequently, the number of EU citizens of Roma descent increased in Sweden as the movement of freedom was granted. This study attempts to understand the conceptualisation and reason for underreporting hate crimes in Malmö, Sweden. Methods: Qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured interview and participant observation were e
In recent years, the drawbacks of parallel systems in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) have been acknowledged in professional and academic communities, where the need for integration of the two fields in connection to development has been stressed. In this regard, the concept of resilience as an antithesis of risks has also been considered. In this study, a scoping
Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. Research has started to address how finance can support the low-carbon transition, but little is known about how the financial sector itself perceives this transition. This thesis seeks to 1) ident
Uppsatsen analyserar den nya förverkandeformen självständigt förverkande i 36 kap 5 § brottsbalken och dess förenlighet med det grundlagsskyddade egendomsskyddet i regeringsformen (RF) och i den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna (Europakonventionen). Självständigt förverkande infördes i svensk rätt den 8 november 2024, och innebär kortfat-tat att staten kan förverka eThis essay analyses the new form of forfeiture - independent forfeiture – as introduced in Chapter 36, Section 5 of the Swedish Penal Code, and examines its compatibility with the constitutionally protected right to property under the Swedish Instrument of Government and the European Convention on Human Rights. Independent forfeiture was introduced into Swedish law on Novem-ber 8, 2024, and in bri
Den snabba tekniska utvecklingen rörande artificiell intelligens öppnar upp för många juridiska frågor, inte minst vad rör upphovsrätt. I syfte att kunna gene-rera material med hjälp av artificiell intelligens krävs det att tillhandahållare av AI har tillgång till stora mängder data, för att kunna träna upp dessa till att producera resultat som efterliknar mänskliga verk. Frågan som därigenom uppsThe rapid technological development of artificial intelligence gives rise to nu-merous legal issues, particularly concerning intellectual property. For artificial intelligence to generate material, it must be trained on human-created works to produce results that resemble such. This process requires access to large vol-umes of data, often sourced from the internet and large databases. The ques-tio
Humanity is faced with multiple interconnected crises, ranging from the climate breakdown to searing inequalities. There is thus an urgent need to move towards a different socio-political-economic system. Degrowth scholars envision a post-capitalist society centered around ecological and social wellbeing. One way to get there is by building on existing interstitial initiatives. At the same time su
Agricultural intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss, which highlights the need for effective policy instruments that promote sustainable farming. Therefore, the EUs common agricultural policy (CAP) plays a major role, especially the voluntary eco-schemes that are designed to incentivize such practices. However, the effectiveness of these policies depends both on farmer participatio
