The dynamics of the temperature induced transformation between low and high temperature adsorption phases of Rb on Al(111) has been followed by high resolution core level spectroscopy. Particular emphasis has been paid to the order-preserving transformation between the low and high temperature Al(111)-Rb-(√3 × √3)R30° structures in which Rb atoms occupy on-top and substitutional sites, respectivel
Purpose: Children who have a parent with incurable cancer are in a vulnerable situation and the Swedish law tries to protect them. This article aims to explore the interactions between nurses and children of patients with incurable cancer from the nurses' perspective. Method: Semi-structured interviews with nine nurses in palliative oncology in Southern Sweden. Latent content analysis was carried
The study aim was to report survival and morbidity of all patients in Sweden with peritoneal mesothelioma treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as well as investigate whether the survival has increased on a population level since this treatment was nationalized 2011. Study data were collected from the Swedish HIPEC registry and the Swedish N
Bacterial proteases are important enzymes used in several technical applications where controlled cleavage of proteins is needed. They are challenging enzymes to express recombinantly as parts of the proteome can be hydrolyzed by their activity. The eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is potentially a good expression host as it tolerates several stress conditions and is known to bet
Objectives Registries have been highlighted as means to improve quality of care. Here, we describe temporal trends in risk factors, lifestyle and preventive medication for patients after myocardial infarction (MI) registered in the quality registry Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART). D
Weather surveillance radars are increasingly used for monitoring the movements and abundances of animals in the airspace. However, analysis of weather radar data remains a specialised task that can be technically challenging. Major hurdles are the difficulty of accessing and visualising radar data on a software platform familiar to ecologists and biologists, processing the low-level data into prod
Environmental impacts from passenger transportation continue to increase globally due to a rise in kilometers traveled and a shift to emission-intensive transportation modes (from public transportation and active modes such as walking and cycling to motorcycle and car ridership). The electrification of the passenger fleet, coupled with low-carbon energy sources, is expected to decrease some of the
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has rapidly developed into a powerful computational methodology for fluid dynamic studies, between Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) in both accuracy and cost. High-speed combustion applications, such as ramjets, scramjets, dual-mode ramjets, and rotating detonation engines, are promising propulsion systems, but also challengin
Two-particle correlations with KS0 , Λ / Λ ¯ , and charged hadrons as trigger particles in the transverse momentum range 8 < pT , trig< 16 GeV/ c , and associated charged particles within 1 < pT , assoc< 8 GeV/ c , are studied at midrapidity in pp and central Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision sNN=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. After subtracting
PurposeMyelin water imaging (MWI) using multi-echo T2 relaxation is a quantitative MRI technique that can be used as an in vivo biomarker for myelin in the central nervous system. MWI using a multi-echo spin echo sequence currently takes more than 20 min to acquire eight axial slices (5 mm thickness) in the cervical spinal cord, making spinal cord MWI impractical for implementation in clinical stu
PURPOSE: Many municipalities today, together with other stakeholders, offer group exercises for the older population via municipal meeting places, focusing on promoting good health. During the Covid-19 pandemic, these group exercises either continued in a modified form or ceased. The aim of this study was to explore involved stakeholders' experiences of group exercises for older persons arranged v
Tailoring the activity of an organometallic catalyst usually requires a targeted ligand design. Tuning the ligand bulkiness and tuning the electronic properties are popular approaches, which are somehow interdependent because substituents of different sizes within ligands can determine inter alia the occurrence of different degrees of inductive effects. Ligand basicity, in particular, turned o
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the work conditions that influence the opportunities for professional development of specialist nurses in surgical care. Design: A qualitative descriptive design was used. Methods: With a purposeful sampling procedure, 14 specialist nurses in surgical care were included. Four focus-group interviews were conducted during November to December 2021 and deducti
Reconstruction of movement control properties of the brain could result in many potential advantages for application in robotics. However, a hampering factor so far has been the lack of knowledge of the structure and function of brain circuitry in vivo during movement control. Much more detailed information has recently become available for the area of the cerebellum that controls arm-hand movemen
WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 are becoming more and more popular both in commercial and residential settings. However, the very success of 802.11 may become a threat to the technology itself. Since there are only a limited number of non-overlapping channels available in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards, this can lead to interference among WLANs in dense areas. In this paper, we investigate the effects
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar ämnet känselåterkoppling i handproteser. Att mista sin hand är en traumatisk upplevelse och den som har mist sin hand förlorar både känsel och motorik. En rudimentär greppfunktion kan återskapas genom att använda en handprotes. Nya och avancerade proteser som kontrolleras med hjälp av muskelsignaler finns numera på marknaden och dessa myoelektAmputation of the hand implies the loss of the ability to grasp and the ability to "feel". The grasping function can be primitively restored using an active prosthesis. Multiarticulating electrically powered hands have recently made their way to the market and these hands provide enhanced grasping and gripping capabilities. However, these hands provide no direct and conscious sensory feedback to
Problem Formulation: The return on invest and value of a business incubator is usually calculated through financial figures from the incubators alumni companies. However, an incubator does not coach companies; it coaches people. Thereby it would be more interesting to measure value of the persons, the alumni entrepreneurs, who went through the incubation program. Purpose: Explore how an incubator
This paper examines the standing of private firms in the post-privatization economic reform in China regarding their access to human capital. The cross-sectional dataset used to test the model is extracted from the World Bank 2012 Enterprise Survey. Using a sample of 2848 Chinese firms of diverse ownership types, the paper studies the effect of firm ownership on human capital, and further studies
The purpose with this study was to investigate how social secretaries in elderly care receive to dementia patients over the age of 65 in the care administration, focusing on the social secretaries discretion and the rights of the patients with dementia. The population consisted of four social secretaries in elderly care, granting assistance to dementia patients over the age of 65, and one nursing
En jämförelse mellan gaddlösa bins synförmåga Synen är det viktigaste sinnet för att insekter ska ha en god förmåga att kunna flyga. För att kunna navigera sig i luften krävs det en väldigt bra syn och väl anpassade ögon. Det är särskilt viktigt för dem att ha en god syn eftersom insekter flyger långa sträckor vid ibland höga hastigheter. De måste även kunna göra flera olika uppgifter som tillexeVision is the most important tool for flying insects to control their flight behaviour. It is especially important for tropical stingless bees living in a cluttered environment, for example the rainforest, were there vegetation is dense making it difficult to navigate through. Stingless bees posses apposition compound eyes, and there is still only a little information about how volume of different
