The present invention relates to a polymeric material comprising structural elements of the following general formula (I): wherein Ph1, Ph2 and Ph3 independently are phenylenes comprising acidic groups with or without a spacer or salts thereof; X1, X2, X3 and X4 independently are O, S, SO, SO2, or a direct bond and wherein X1 also may be H termination when Formula (I) relates to side chains of the
Platform ecosystems include complementary product markets that are creating unprecedented business oppor-tunities. Competition within complementary product markets is increasingly intense and fast-changing, and this leads to increased complexity in designing strategies to gain competitive advantage. Prior literature has exten-sively analyzed the key drivers of platform adoption by end users. Recen
STUDY QUESTION: What is the relationship between the number of oocytes collected in fresh IVF treatments and the likelihood of cumulative delivery rate (fresh and frozen) per oocyte aspiration, severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and thromboembolic events? SUMMARY ANSWER: Cumulative delivery rate per aspiration increases up to 20 oocytes retrieved and then evens out while the incidence
Background: Late health consequences of treatment for childhood leukemia are well documented. Although individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have a substantially increased risk of leukemia, information on late effects in this group is almost nonexistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mortality and morbidity among 5-year leukemia survivors with DS. Procedure: We compared 5-year leukemia s
I denna studie har elva svenska idrottare som dopat sig intervjuats – tio styrkelyftare och en tyngdlyftare. Idrottarna har varit verksamma på tävlings- till elitnivå, och har fällts för minst en dopingförseelse 1990 till och med 2006. Syftet med studien har varit att identifiera och analysera sociala processer som ligger bakom bruket. Anabola Androgena Steroider (AAS) var det preparat som samtlig
Strain and interactions at grain boundaries during solid-phase crystallization are known to play a significant role in the functional properties of polycrystalline materials. However, elucidating three-dimensional nanoscale grain morphology, kinetics, and strain under realistic conditions is challenging. Here, we image a single-grain growth during the amorphous-to-polycrystalline transition in tec
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising but challenging combustion engine concept. The potential for good fuel economy and low emissions is high but the transient performance required for automotive applications presents a few problems still to be solved. The focus of this work is identification of the process dynamics. An ARX type model is fitted to input-output data. A meth
This paper offers a two-zone, physical, NOx model with low computational cost, implemented in C on an embedded system. The model is able to compute NOx-emission formation with high time resolution during an engine cycle. To do this the model takes cylinder pressure and injected fuel amount as inputs and produces NO concentration as output. The model as such is not new, nevertheless the physical ba
In this chapter, we argue that policy-making aiming to achieve environmentally sustainable transitions of the economy is in need of a solid empirical evidence base. Conventional measurement concepts used for example by the EU based on sector-classifications deliver highly biased pictures. We propose measurement concepts based on the use of green skills and human capital, validate key assumptions o
Objective To investigate the admission rate to neonatal care and neonatal morbidity after maternal use of antipsychotics during pregnancy. Design A population-based register study. Setting Information on all singleton births between July 2006 and December 2017 in Sweden including data on prescription drugs, deliveries and infants' health was obtained from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, the Pr
Aim: To investigate the predictive ability of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) Motor Index, in children born extremely preterm (<27 gestational weeks) without cerebral palsy. Methods: Children from the EXPRESS study (all extremely preterm births in Sweden, 2004–2007) without neurosensory impairments assessed with Bayley-III at 2.5 years corrected age
We report on charge transport across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of short tau peptides by probing the electron tunneling rates and quantum mechanical simulation. We measured the electron tunneling rates across SAMs of carboxyl-terminated linker molecules (C6H12O2S) and short cis-tau (CT) and trans-tau (TT) peptides, supported on template-stripped gold (AuTS) bottom electrode, with Eutectic Ga
The rapidly growing interest in photocatalytic systems for direct solar fuel production such as hydrogen generation from water splitting is grounded in the unique opportunity to achieve charge separation in molecular systems provided by electron transfer processes. In general, both photoinduced and catalytic processes involve complicated dynamics that depend on both structural and electronic effec
Soot emissions from diesel internal combustion engines are strictly regulated nowadays. Laser extinction measurement (LEM) and natural luminosity (NL) of sooty flames are commonly applied to study soot. LEM measures soot along the laser beam path and it can probe soot regardless of temperature. NL integrates the whole field of view and relies on soot temperature. In this work, a comparison of simu
Quantum chemical calculations for two TiO2 nanoparticle cluster models (rutile–(TiO2)n with n = 20, and anatase–(TiO2)n with n = 92), selected to represent different nanoparticle size regimes, are used to elucidate structural influences on the electronic properties. Structural and electronic properties were obtained using a variety of computational methods and structure optimisation schemes, inclu
Sweden is a state governed by the rule of law, and is based on many different principles in order to ensure a functioning justice system. An important prin-ciple is that the rulings from the courts should be adamant, also known as the principle of firmness. The ruling of the court shall stand when it has gained legal force and this is also known as the negative legal force of a judgment. The human
Rätten till tystnad är en av de viktigaste rättigheterna som syftar till att skydda en tilltalad från tvång och påtryckningar från de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna. Rättigheten är däremot inte absolut, utan en tilltalad kan ibland åläggas en så kallad förklaringsbörda. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om förklaringsbördan i brottmål uppfyller rättssäkerhetskravet som ställs i en rättsstat. MThe right to silence is one of the most important rights which serves to pro-tect the accused from coercion from law enforcement. However, the right to silence is not an absolute right. The accused can sometimes be obligated to satisfy a so-called “burden of explanation”. The purpose of this essay is to examine if the burden of explanation lives up to the criteria of legal certain-ty, as demanded
