We numerically compute the low-energy spectrum of a gate-controlled superconducting topological nanowire segmented into two islands, each Josephson coupled to a bulk superconductor. This device may host two pairs of Majorana bound states and could provide a platform for testing Majorana fusion rules. We analyze the crossover between (i) a charge-dominated regime utilizable for initialization and r
På särskilda ungdomshem tvångsvårdas barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) regi. Personalen på ungdomshemmen har särskilda befogenheter vilket motiveras av de placerade barnen och ungas omfattande problematik. Tvångsåtgärderna inskränker emellertid barn och ungas fri- och rättigheter. Barnkonventionen inkorporerades i svensk lag i syfte att stärka och tydliggöra barn och ungas ställThe special residential homes for young people that are run by the national board of institutional care (SiS) provide children and young people compulsory care. The staff at the special residential homes have the right to use coercive measures which is motivated by the children and young people’s extensive problems. The coercive measures however restrict the freedoms and rights of the children and
The Environmental Code (Miljöbalken) came into force 1 January 1999. Since then, there have been several legal cases that concern the operator’s liability for contaminated land. Some of these cases concern pollution that have occurred before 1 July 1969, when the Environmental Law (Miljöskyddslagen) came into force. The Environmental Code and the Promulgation Law sets out clear conditions of lia
Title: Returns on Assets and Returns on Stocks: Based on Swedish Market. Authors:Tatiana Studyanikova and Eirini Sarantopoulou. Advisor:Hossein Asgharian. Key Words: Returns on assets (ROA), returns on stocks (ROS), variation, principal component analysis, firm-specific level. Purpose: Examine whether common factors of returns on stocks and returns on assets explain most of the variation in return
The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of asthma with or without exercise induced symptoms among elite and elite aspiring swimmers and to compare sport specific exercise provocation with mannitol provocation. METHODS: 101 adolescent swimmers were investigated with mannitol provocation and sport specific exercise challenge test. Mannitol positivity was defined as either direct FEV(1
Nominally Anhydrous Minerals (NAM) in the Earth's mantle contain trace amounts of hydrogen, as a result of the NAM's ability to incorporate hydroxyl ions. The isotopic composition of these hydrogen reservoirs is for the Earth's crust, well characterized. The knowledge of the isotopic composition of the Earth's interior on the other hand is limited. It is believed that the hydrogen composition in t
Objectives To develop evidence-based European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for vaccination in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Methods A EULAR task force was composed of experts representing 11 European countries, consisting of eight rheumatologists, four clinical immunologists, one rheumatologist/clinical immunologist, one infectious disease p
We performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of top association signals in 56,682 additional individuals. This analysis identified 13 loci newly associated with CAD at P < 5 x 10(-8) and confirmed the association of 10 of 12 previously
In Sweden, the topic of invasive flatworms is as relevant as ever following the recent introduction of the species Obama nungara. Invasive flatworms are predators of earthworms which indirectly makes them a threat to soil quality ecosystem services. These services provided by earthworms play an important part in a sustainable agriculture system because of their effect on the quality of soil. The a
Hållbarhet och cirkulärt byggande blir alltmer centrala i Sveriges miljömål, men implementeringen av Design för Demontering (DfD) är fortfarande begränsad. Denna studie undersöker de ekonomiska, regulatoriska och tekniska hinder som försvårar en storskalig tillämpning av DfD i den svenska byggsektorn samt identifierar strategier för att påskynda dess genomförande. Studien bygger på kvalitativ
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss new findings on the heterogeneity of obesity and associated risks.RECENT FINDINGS: Obesity is a public health problem of immense importance on a global scale. However, epidemiological findings and clinical studies have revealed that obesity is a heterogeneous phenotype and that not all obese subjects run the same risk for complications. Current research has tried to d
Background: Little is known about the value of biomarkers for prognostication in hip fracture patients. The main objective of the present study was to assess if biomarkers add useful information to an existing risk score for prediction of 30-day mortality in patients suffering from out of hospital hip fractures. Methods: In a prospective observational single centre study, association between plasm
CuInSe2 (CISe) colloidal quantum dots (QDs) display promising applications in photodetection especially within near-infrared (NIR) regions due to their high extinction coefficient and environmental-friendly. However, the high trap density and poor crystal quality introduced by the ternary structure result in low photodetection of CISe QDs devices. Herein, we dope transition metal manganese ions (M
The objective was to develop evidence -based recommendations and a research and educational agenda for the non-pharmacological management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). The multidisciplinary task force comprised 21 experts: nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioner, psychologist, dietician, clinical epidemiologist and patie
Biosensors would benefit from further miniaturization, increased detection rate and independence from external pumps and other bulky equipment. Whereas transportation systems built around molecular motors and cytoskeletal filaments hold significant promise in the latter regard, recent proof-of-principle devices based on the microtubule-kinesin motor system have not matched the speed of existing me
Triglycerides are transported in plasma by specific triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; in epidemiological studies, increased triglyceride levels correlate with higher risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, it is unclear whether this association reflects causal processes. We used 185 common variants recently mapped for plasma lipids (P < 5 x 10(-8) for each) to examine the role of triglyceri
