This PhD thesis deals with the sub-cycle nature of ultrafast phenomena that occur in strong-field light–matter interactions. As it is of interest to control these phenomena, we must understand them in order to manipulate them. The tools at our disposal are intense laser pulses of short duration, and the systems we study are atoms. A host of exotic phenomena may occur in strong-field light–matter i
In this work, GaN/InGaN/GaN nanocolumns (NCs) have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Selective area growth (SAG) and self-organized growth (SOG) were performed simultaneously in patterned and unpatterned regions of the same substrate, respectively. The resulting structures show different tip morphologies and structural properties due to the different polarity along the growth direction, namely
This book is the first to explore the history of the Swedish electronic music studio EMS. EMS was established in 1964 with the intent to create an international center for research in sound and sound perception, and to build one of the world’s most advanced hybrid studios. The principal creators of the studio were rooted in Swedish modernism, and had the EMS-project shaped in accordance to the soc
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an umbrella domain for many areas of study. This paper will look at those topics of HCI known as affective aspects. Affective aspects investigate emotional responses that the user communicates, both verbally and physically, when working with a computer including before and after the work is done. This paper examines the question of improving pedagogy and curricu
Context: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used clinically to predict fracture but does not discriminate between trabecular and cortical bone assessment. Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether information on cortical and trabecular bone predict fracture risk independently of aBMD and clinical risk factors. Design and Participants
Objective: Present a systematic analysis of the outcome research concerning video feedback (VF) programs. Method: Twentyninestudies published between 1990 and 2014 were examined. They focused on children 0–12 years old and had at least onecontrol group. Results: VF programs were similar in design, with interventions focusing on parental and child behavior, parentalsensitivity and attachment. In 41Objective: Present a systematic analysis of the outcome research concerning video feedback (VF) programs. Method: Twenty- nine studies published between 1990 and 2014 were examined. They focused on children 0–12 years old and had at least one control group. Results: VF programs were similar in design, with interventions focusing on parental and child behavior, parental sensitivity and attachment.
Objectives: Recent evidence from the 7-year followup of the Pediatric Osteoporosis Prevention (POP) study indicates an inverse correlation between years of participation in a physical activity (PA) intervention and fracture risk in children. However, we could not see a statistically significant reduction in fracture risk, which urged for an extension of the intervention. Setting: The study was con
Genealogy is a rapidly growing and popular hobby in Sweden and all over the world. This thesis is an ethnological study based on five qualitative interviews and fifteen questionnaires answered by genealogists. The aim and purpose of the study is to find out how genealogists define ”history” in relation to their own family history. How they produce their own history through their research and how i
The aim of this study was to investigate how Palestinian refugee women in refugee camps perceive themselves as actors who affect and influence their lives and communities. Research shows it is a topic that is not often discussed or highlighted in today’s discourse about refugees. The material was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight Palestinian women in a Palestinian refugee cam
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur svensk rätt reglerar envarsgripande. Envarsgripande innebär, enkelt uttryckt, rätten för varje individ att, under vissa förutsättningar, gripa en annan person. Detta är något som samhället, enligt den svenska lagstiftaren, principiellt sett bör uppmuntra. Samtidigt bör kommas ihåg att brottsbekämpning främst är statens uppgift och straffprocessuella tvåThe purpose of this paper is to examine how Swedish law regulates citizen’s arrest. Put simply, Citizen’s arrest means the right for every individual to, under certain conditions, apprehend another person. According to the Swedish legislator this is something that society in principle should encourage. However, one should keep in mind that law enforcement is primarily a task for the state. Furthe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en livslång kronisk sjukdom som före upptäckten av insulin 1922 ledde till döden inom 0-5 år från debuten vid ungdomsdiabetes, och inom ca 5-20 år vid åldersdiabetes. Användningen av insulin ändrade detta helt. Istället blev långtidskomplikationer ett hot som förkortade och påverkade livet. Förutom svåra infektioner handlar det om småkärlskomplikationer drabType 1 and type 2 diabetes increase worldwide, leading to a heavy burden of disease and its complications. All 1666 adults aged 18-100 years with new onset diabetes in Kronoberg during 3 years were registered, and type of diabetes classified by pancreatic autoantibodies and C-peptide. Annual incidences of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes were higher than previously described (27.1/100 000 and 378/1
