Oxygen-defective metal oxides like cerium oxides exhibit giant electrostriction and field-induced piezoelectricity due to a dynamic electrosteric interplay between oxygen defects, V O ⋅ ⋅ , and the fluorite lattice. While such mechanisms are generally attributed to oxygen vacancies, recent results also highlight that trapped cationic defects, Ce Ce ′ , i.e. small polarons, can contribute to the el
Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is an issue for healthcare students, influenced by safety concerns and misinformation. The need for better communication training and understanding sociocultural factors in VH was highlighted in a European University Alliance seminar. Practical exercises like simulation role-playing, interprofessional collaboration, and digital literacy may improve vaccine education.
Code review is a well-established and valuable software development practice associated with code quality, interpersonal, and team benefits. However, it is also time-consuming, with developers spending 10–20% of their working time doing code reviews. With recent advances in AI capabilities, there are more and more initiatives aimed at fully automating code reviews to save time and streamline softw
In clinical practice, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measurement of kidney functioning, is normally calculated using equations, such as the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation. Despite being the most general equation, EKFC, just like previously proposed approaches, can still struggle to achieve satisfactory performance, limiting its clinical applicability. As a possible so
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common with a global prevalence of 4%. Dietary regimes with a low content of fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyol (FODMAP) or a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) have proven to be efficient. The aim of the present study was to describe the recruitment process for a randomized dietary trial with low FODMAP or SSRD for 4 weeks wi
X-ray ptychography provides the highest resolution non-destructive imaging at synchrotron radiation facilities, and the efficiency of this method is crucial for coping with limited experimental time. Recent advancements in multi-beam ptychography have enabled larger fields of view, but spatial resolution for large 3D samples remains constrained by their thickness, requiring consideration of multip
There is an increasing need for new biomarkers to improve prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to identify blood-based epigenetic biomarkers associated with incident CKD and develop a methylation risk score (MRS) predicting CKD in individuals with newly diagnosed T2D. DNA methylation was analyzed epigenome wide in blood from 487 individuals
When developing general-purpose robot software components, we often lack complete knowledge of the specific contexts in which they will be executed. This limits our ability to make predictions, including our ability to detect program bugs statically. Since running a robot is an expensive task, finding errors at runtime can prolong the debugging loop or even cause safety hazards. This paper propose
The X-ray flux from X-ray free-electron lasers and storage rings enables new spatiotemporal opportunities for studying in-situ and operando dynamics, even with single pulses. X-ray multi-projection imaging is a technique that provides volumetric information using single pulses while avoiding the centrifugal forces induced by conventional time-resolved 3D methods like time-resolved tomography, and
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but more mechanistic studies are needed. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can elicit a strong response in many COPD-related cell types, but no studies have been performed in lung fibroblasts. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of CSE on gene expression in lung fibroblasts from hea
Syfte: Vårt övergripande syfte med den här uppsatsen är att analysera och beskriva sambandet mellan produktutveckling och benchmarking. Resultat: Resultat av studien visar att det finns ett samband mellan benchmarking och produktutveckling. Benchmarking är en integrerad del i produktutvecklingsprocessen. Vi har kommit fram till fem gemensamma faktorer; Projektering, Målsättning, Implementering, Ut
This report presents a model for the continuing work with creating a quality management system for Stockholm Fire Departement. The system is based on the European and Swedish standard SS-EN ISO 9001.
Augustenborg is suburb city in Malmö south of Sweden. The climate is temperate with occasional snow during the winter. Open storm water is applied in Augustenborg since late 1990s and the storm water is disconnected from the combined sewer system in order to give the area a lift up value and to solve the flooding problems in basements after heavy rainfall events. The new open system consists of po
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utreda begreppen produktstrategi och produktionsstrategi samt hur begreppen appliceras inom det industriella byggandet. Syftet är också att den framtagna informationen ska öka kunskapen kring produkt- och produktionsstrategier bland de industriella byggarna samt utreda vikten av integration mellan de båda. Problemställning: Vad innebär begreppen produktstrategi oc
Cognitive ability can be measured with several different instruments. The first thing that springs to mind is probably IQ or knowledge tests, such as the SAT. In 2005, a new test came out on the market, the cognitive reflection test (CRT). This test was constructed differently, namely to capture cognitive reflection, an ability to use system 2 in an effective way. System 2 is a concept from the du
Studiens syfte var att beskriva individers upplevelser av att ha genomgått en överviktsoperation med påföljande kraftig viktnedgång. Specifikt undersöktes individernas förändrade kroppsuppfattning och det stöd som erhållits under övergångsprocessen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med fem personer som genomgått en överviktskirurgi och som minskat sin vikt med minst tre klädstorlekar. IntervjThe purpose of the study was to describe the experiences of individuals who had undergone obesity surgery and subsequent dramatic weight loss. Specific attention was given to the individuals’ changing body image and the support they had received during their transition process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five people who had undergone an obesity surgery, and subsequently lost at
The building sector is one that can be accounted for numerous impacts on the environment, both by extremely high consumption of resources, and by emitting green house gases to the atmosphere on a large scale. Retrofitting existing buildings tackles energetic and emission related issues and one way to go about such projects is through the process of high-performance building certification, within w
