Natural radiative lifetimes of some excited levels belonging to the 5 p 6 s and 5 p 5 d configurations have been measured by the Hanle method. Some of the levels could be optically excited only from the metastable 3 P 1 and 3 P 2 levels of the 5 p 2 ground configuration. These comparatively low-lying levels were sufficiently populated at the temperature necessary to produce a Sn atomic beam. The f

This thesis explores arguments and styles of argumentation in favour of Scotland gaining independence and rejoining the European Union in the aftermath of the United Kingdom leaving the EU in 2020. Since a majority of Scots did not support Brexit, it has provided Scottish independence supporters with a unique opportunity to bolster their arguments in the political debate. The thesis is built on a

Background: Climate change poses an escalating threat to global brain health and is increasingly linked to stroke incidence, outcomes, and inequities in prevention and treatment. This World Stroke Organization scientific statement summarizes current evidence on the associations between stroke and the environmental variables exacerbated by climate change, with a focus on risk and outcomes. Methods:

FinTech payment solutions have become an embedded part of Generation Z’s everyday life in Sweden, yet how trust is formed among these users remains unclear. Existing research often treats trust as a unidimensional construct and assumes that greater knowledge leads to more informed behaviour. This qualitative study investigates how the interaction between digital fluency and digital literacy shapes

Introduction: Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is implemented in Swedish general Mental Health Services. While FACT focuses on supporting the participation and personal recovery of individuals with complex mental health needs, critical components enabling these aspects are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to understand the critical components of FACT delivery supporting pa

The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine-target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact. Here, we present an investigation aimed at searching for shocked quartz in the 224 m deep Tväre

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have been compromised by cyber-attacks with the development of computer and network technologies over the past few decades. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) play a significant role in ensuring information security, and the key mechanism is to identify various attacks in the network accurately. One common strategy when implementing an IDS is to use a machine-learn

Work, as stated in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, is a human right. In this thesis we unearth the discursive foundations of the right to work and explore the right through a queer, feminist and Marxist dialogue analysis based on the books The problem with work by Kathi Weeks (2011), Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici (2009), and What’s the Use? by Sara Ah

Background: After an older person moves into a nursing home, the next of kin often continues to participate in the care provided there. This participation in care may contribute valuable knowledge of the preferences and wishes of the older person, thereby helping nursing staff deliver personalised care. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore how next of kin experience their participati

This paper reports the observation of top-quark pair production in proton-lead collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed using 165 nb−1 of p+Pb data collected at sNN = 8.16 TeV in 2016. Events are categorised in two analysis channels, consisting of either events with exactly one lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, or events with two

Obesity is a known risk factor for poor breast cancer outcomes, but its impact on endocrine therapy efficacy remains unclear. While the ATAC trial suggests reduced effectiveness of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in women with obesity, the BIG 1–98 trial found no significant differences. Clinical and biological evidence indicates that obesity may impair AI efficacy by increasing aromatase activity and

Objectives: Human service workers are at a greater risk for negative work and health-related outcomes due to the highly demanding nature of their work which involves unique stressors such as emotion work and routine interactions with clients. This scoping review synthesizes the current state of literature reporting on the associations of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) with human service workers

This chapter explores the production of Kalak (2023), emphasising the significance of locations, historical contexts and emotional economies in filmmaking in a Danish-Greenlandic context. This production navigates narrative and practical challenges through three layers of legitimisation. First, centring the narrative on a Danish character allows both Danish and Greenlandic filmmakers to engage wit
