Circular business models (CBMs) promise improved resource efficiency, value creation and retention. Still, CBM operationalization among large incumbents remains slow in practice. Yet, this plays a critical role in driving industry transformations towards sustainability. Prior research outlines challenges that incumbents encounter when operationalizing CBMs - yet remains fragmented and unable to ex
Ambient air pollution is recognized as a key risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality contributing to the global disease burden. The use of renewable diesel fuels, such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), have increased in recent years and its impact on human health are not completely known. The present study investigated changes in cardiovascular tone in response to exposure to dil
Aerial thermal imagery has been recently applied to quantitative analysis of several scenes. For the mapping purpose based on aerial thermal imagery, high accuracy photogrammetric process is necessary. However, due to low geometric resolution and low contrast of thermal imaging sensors, there are some challenges in precise 3D measurement of objects. In this paper the potential of thermal video in
Background: Involving service users in inpatient care and recovery planning has gained interest worldwide. Our purpose was to evaluate the process of implementation of a coproduced Recovery Guide (RG) intervention in 22 inpatient wards in Sweden, in terms of context, implementation process and mechanisms of impact over 12 months.Methods: A mixed method design and a process evaluation framework wer
In recruitment, promotion, admission, and other forms of wealth and power apportion, an evaluator typically ranks a set of candidates in terms of their perceived competence. If the evaluator is prejudiced, the resulting ranking will misrepresent the candidates’ actual ranking. This constitutes not only a moral and a practical problem, but also an epistemological one, which begs the question of wha
Parametric Rietveld refinement from powder diffraction data has been utilized in a variety of situations to understand structural phase transitions of materials in situ. However, when analysing data from lower-resolution two-dimensional detectors or from samples with overlapping Bragg peaks, such transitions become difficult to observe. In this study, a weighted parametric method is demonstrated w
Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is an extremely valuable tool for the study of elementary, including magnetic, excitations in matter. The latest developments of this technique have mostly been aimed at improving the energy resolution and performing polarization analysis of the scattered radiation, with a great impact on the interpretation and applicability of RIXS. Instead, this article
I texten undersöks förutsättningarna för att reglera sammanvägningen av meriter vid antagning till forskarutbildningen. Undersökningen motiveras av studier av meritvärdering inom andra områden som påvisar att just sammanvägningen av meriter tenderar att vara fördomsfull. För att konkretisera diskussionen så utgår texten från regler och praxis vid antagning till forskarutbildning vid Humanistiska o
γ1-AuZn2.1 in the Au-Zn binary system has been synthesized and its structure analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the trigonal space group P31m (No. 157) with ∼227 atoms per unit cell and represents a 3a × 3a × c superstructure of rhombohedrally distorted γ-Au5-x Zn8+y. The structure is largely tetrahedrally closed packed. The formation of γ1-AuZn2.1 can be understood w
Class-C operation is leveraged to implement a K-band CMOS VCO where the upconversion of the 1/f noise from the core transistors is robustly contained at a minimal level. Implemented in a bulk 28 nm CMOS technology,the VCO shows a phase noise as low as -108.5 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset (-83 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset) from the 19.5 GHz carrier,while consuming 14.4 mW and featuring a 12% tuning range.
A Ka-band,32-43 GHz,differential power amplifier (PA) for millimeter wave applications is presented. The PA is a three stage design with a nominal gain of 36 dB. A device periphery ratio of 1:2:4 is adopted for pre-driver,driver and final stage,respectively. To enable use of 2.7 V supply,a cascode topology was employed in all three stages. The input is 80 ω differential and the output load is 50 ω
As an open integrated environment deployed with wired and wireless infrastructures, the smart city heavily relies on the wireless-optical broadband access network. Smart home data are usually sent to neighbor optical network units (ONUs) through front-end wireless mesh networks (WMNs) and finally reach the optical line terminal (OLT) for decision making via the passive optical network (PON) backha
The gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) technique was used to investigate the possible presence of free gas pores in human condyle bones, extracted from the tibia in knee revision surgical procedures in response to arthrosis development. Following earlier studies showing free gas presence in femoral head bones, decaying because of inadequate blood flow, we investigated condyle
The morphologies of self-assisted GaP nanowires grown by gas source MBE in regular arrays on silicon substrates are modeled by a kinetic equation for the nanowire radius versus the position along the nanowire axis. The most important growth parameter that governs the nanowire morphology is the V/III flux ratio. Sharpened nanowires with a stable radius equal to only 12 nm at a V/III flux ratio of 6
A novel SPECT/MRI scanner has been modelled and tested here using Monte Carlo simulation software, SIMIND. The INSERT SPECT/MRI system faces challenges with event reconstruction due to photon depth of interaction. The novel SPECT system is subject to parallax errors due to its crystal size and slit aperture collimator. We present a simple measure of the DOI errors through SIMIND experiments; by mo
Executive functions comprise of top-down cognitive processes that exert control over information processing, from acquiring information to issuing a behavioral response. These cogni- tive processes of inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility underpin complex cognitive skills, such as episodic memory and planning, which have been repeatedly investigated in several bird species in recen
Compact SPECT systems with cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) solid-state detectors with improved energy resolution and shorter acquisition times have recently been introduced. These systems have, however, different energy characteristics compared to NaI(Tl) crystal-based cameras. There is therefore a need to develop new simulation models for these cameras. We modeled the charge transport within the CZT
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignancies affecting men, with poor prognosis after progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Radioligand therapy (RLT) targeting the overexpressed PSMA on PC cells, with, e.g., 177Lu-PSMA-617, has been effective in reducing tumor burden and prolonging survival in mCRPC. However, it is not a curative method with kidney
