This book presents gender and diversity in smart transport as a cutting-edge issue in urban contexts around the globe. It addresses new challenges and possibilities related to the smart transport sector. It demonstrates how gender and diversity are entangled in concepts and various forms of current smart mobility practices in policy, planning, and innovation. Gender Smart Mobility is presented as

Background: Insomnia is common in adolescents. This study evaluated feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a six-week internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (ICBT-I) in adolescents. Methods: In this uncontrolled pilot study, participants (n = 27, 78% female) completed assessments pre- and post intervention. Data on recruitment, adherence to treatment, treatment activity, sat

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the role of managers and employees with an assigned responsibility (i.e. inspirers) when integrating recovery-enhancing activities into everyday work in a primary health care setting. Background: The possibility of recovery during the workday is essential for employee wellbeing. However, the literature on workplace interventions focusing on recovery is sca

Core–shell structural ZnSeTe/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great attention for advanced illumination and displays because of their environmentally friendly composition, but still suffering from poor photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) performance due to severe non-radiative charge recombination. Herein, a stepwise injection shell growth process to manipulate the monome

We report a detailed density functional theory and molecular dynamics study of hydrogen bonding between trehalose and water, with a special emphasis on interactions in the amorphous solid state. For comparison, water-water interactions in water dimers and tetramers are evaluated using quantum calculations. The results show that the hydrogen bonding energy is dependent not only on the geometry (bon

Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals are building blocks for novel materials due to the property of nanocrystals to self-assemble into ordered structures (superlattices). Exemplified by a prototypical perovskite CsPbBr3, research into perovskite nanocrystal superlattices is motivated by reports of intriguing phenomena such as superfluorescence and superradiance.[1] Such cooperative luminescence arise

Measurements of methane (CH4) molecules containing two rare isotopes (13CH3D and 12CH2D2), also termed doubly substituted or "clumped" isotopologues, have the potential to provide two additional isotopic dimensions to help investigate the mechanisms underlying global atmospheric trends in CH4. In this work, we summarise the current state of research on doubly substituted CH4 isotopologues, with an

This thesis explores how contemporary Swedish Jews narrate their experiences of antisemitism. A central aim is to examine if and how the narrative norm of the cultural Holocaust memory – as formulated by Zoe Waxman – is reflected in present-day narratives of antisemitism. To make possible, the study employs a narrative discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the narrative norm of cultural Ho

The aviation sector is facing a massive change in terms of replacing the currently used fossil jet fuels (Jet A, JP5, etc.) with non-fossil jet fuels from sustainable feedstocks. This involves several challenges and, among them, we have the fundamental issue of current jet engines being developed for the existing fossil jet fuels. To facilitate such a transformation, we need to investigate the sen

Thin YBa2Cu3Ox films were grown on SrTiO3 or LaAlO3 single crystals by dc-magnetron reactive sputtering in argon/oxygen gas mixtures. Deposition temperatures ranged from 540 °C to 780 °C. After deposition and subsequent cool down, films grown above 680 °C are superconducting below 86–88 K. All films are oriented with the [001] direction parallel to the [001] substrate normal. The best films have c

A non-negligible part of the biological reactions in the activated sludge process for treatment of wastewater takes place in secondary settling tanks (SST) that follow biological reactors. It is therefore of interest to develop models of so-called reactive settling that describe the spatial variability of reaction rates caused by the variation of local concentration of biomass due to hindered sett

IMPORTANCE: Correct diagnosis of ovarian cancer results in better prognosis. Adnexal lesions can be stratified into the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) risk of malignancy categories with either the O-RADS lexicon, proposed by the American College of Radiology, or the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) 2-step strategy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance

Water molecules play important roles in all biochemical processes. Therefore, it is of key importance to obtain information of the structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics of water molecules around proteins. Numerous computational methods have been suggested with this aim. In this study, we compare the performance of conventional and grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) molecular dynamics (MD) simula

Background and purpose — Information on outcomes after some modern total ankle replacement (TAR) designs is scarce. We therefore examined outcomes after trabecular metal (TM) TAR in Sweden by use of data from the national registry. Patients and methods — On December 31, 2020, 239 primary TM TARs had been reported to the Swedish Ankle Registry. We analyzed prosthesis survival probability, using exc

Sufficiency has long been marginalized in the public and political sustainability discourse. Since attempts to reduce CO2 emissions in the long term have so far fallen short of expectations, sufficiency has recently approached the forefront of scientific and social debates about a »good life«. In addition to a strict reduction target, the sufficiency strategy promises psychological well-being and

ABSTRACT The aim of this exploratory study was to examine what motivates social workers in the drug abuse field to remain in their jobs for longer than five years. Data was collected via semi-structured face-to-face interviews with five social workers in a municipal social services administration in south-western province of Scania. The analysis empolyed qualitative approach using Herzbergs two-
