Military cultural competency involves understanding the unique needs of military and veteran (MV) populations. Research shows that culturally competent care improves health outcomes, yet little is known about civilian sexual assault centers (SACs) supporting MV clients. Many MV clients affected by military sexual trauma (MST) seek community services due to mistrust of the military system. This stu
Introduction: Gender imbalances in academia are found globally. Even though women earn the same rate of PhD degrees, the gender imbalance becomes increasingly prominent at higher academic levels. Several reasons have been proposed for these differences, including family responsibilities, disparities in the number and size of grants awarded, invitations to present at conferences, and differences in
In the scientific domain of high energy physics (HEP), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) was created in order to handle the huge compute and storage needs of the experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Today WLCG combines about 1.4 million computer cores and 1.5 exabytes of storage from over 170 sites in 42 countries. What ties the sites together is the middleware installed at each site,
This paper explores and develops the concept of constituent human rights. The paper asks what a constituent element within human rights would look like and how such rights could exist on their own outside of the constituted juridico-political sphere or the human rights regime. To understand this, the paper draws on Antonio Negri’s concept of constituent power in order to draw out its implications
Context. Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters. This challenges our understanding of their actual origin. Aims. We report the results of our warm Jupiters survey, which was carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph within the KESPRINT collaboration. We addressed the question of
Pedestrian modelling has made its way from a research topic – as presented and discussed in chapters 6 to 9 – to planning, design, and operational applications. This raises many questions on the best way to apply pedestrian modelling for different scenarios. To assist with that and to foster trust in the method of application, various guidelines and norms have been developed. In this chapter five
Context. HR 10 has only recently been identified as a binary system. Previously thought to be an A-type shell star, it appears that both components are fast-rotating A-type stars, each presenting a circumstellar envelope. Although showing complex photometric variability, spectroscopic observations of the metallic absorption lines reveal variation explained by the binarity, but not indicative of de
Manganese carbonyl compounds can release CO when exposed to light, potentially becoming photochemically activated CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs). Several studies have demonstrated the behavior in the ground state when irradiated with light. However, much remains to be discovered about the chemistry of photoCORMs with uncoordinated ligand moieties and the excited states of these compounds. Thi
High-momentum two-particle correlations are a useful tool for studying jet-quenching effects in the quark-gluon plasma. Angular correlations between neutral-pion triggers and charged hadrons with transverse momenta in the range 4-12 GeV/c and 0.5-7 GeV/c, respectively, have been measured by the PHENIX experiment in 2014 for Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. Suppression is observed in the yield of h
The TESS mission searches for transiting exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of hundreds of thousands of stars across the entire sky. M-type planet hosts are ideal targets for this mission due to their smaller size and cooler temperatures, which makes it easier to detect smaller planets near or within their habitable zones. Additionally, M dwarfs have a smaller contrast ratio between the plane
Bakgrund: Den kurativa behandlingen för resektabla lokalt avancerade stadier av cancer i munhålan innefattar i regel en kombination av kirurgi och radioterapi (RT). Huruvida RT bör ges först och därefter följas av kirurgi, eller om tumören bör opereras bort först, följt av RT postoperativt, har dock inte studerats i någon större omfattning.Syfte: Denna avhandling undersöker olika aspekter av pre- Background: The curatively intended treatment for resectable locally advanced stages of oral cavity cancer (OCC) generally involves a combination of surgery and radiotherapy (RT). However, whether to apply RT first and then proceed with surgery, or to resect the cancer and subsequently administer RT, has not been extensively studied. Aims: This thesis examines various aspects of pre- versus postop
Background: Reliable data on optimal fluid management in the perioperative period for patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery is limited. These patients often present with malignant ascites and are prone to significant fluid shifts perioperatively. For this reason, our objective was to define clinical targets for optimal fluid balance and determine whether initial as
We seek to clarify the impact of the Genetic Aptitude for Educational Attainment (GAEA) on risk for 10 psychiatric disorders divided into 4 groups: Internalizing, Externalizing, Eating/Compulsive and Psychotic. Educational attainment and psychiatric and substance use disorder information were obtained from national Swedish registries. GAEA and disorder-specific family genetic risk score (FGRS) wer
Guidelines on storage for samples intended for Prothrombin Time–International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) analysis have changed over time, sometimes advising against cold storage due to presumed cold activation of the coagulation cascade. Previous studies on PT-INR storage have mainly been underpowered, performed in glass tubes, and not in a modern laboratory setting. In this study, we re-analyzed 1
This paper presents an implementation of a federated resource allocation system (Puhuri), which offers a full set of functions from the application phase for computing infrastructure resources to consumption reporting. The implementation is based on the Puhuri project of Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC) [1]. Shared research infrastructures, particularly high-performance computers, nece
This paper reports a summary of searches for a fermionic dark matter candidate in the context of theoretical models characterised by a mediator particle exchange in the s-channel. The data sample considered consists of pp collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider during its Run 2 at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector, corresponding to up to 140 fb-1. The
Binary nanoparticles (BNPs), composed of two distinct materials, offer tailored properties advantageous for various applications, including enhanced catalytic, magnetic, and optical behavior. Among the synthesis methods for BNPs, spark ablation stands out for its capability to produce multicomponent nanostructures with tunable compositions. This study investigates the mixing dynamics of material v
This chapter takes an interest in the construction of gendered knowledge in the digital space. Through an analysis of the digital activism of the epistemic agent Nadia Murad, survivor of the genocide against the Yazidi, the chapter investigates how she departs from her personal, embodied experience of ISIS violence to advocate for justice, recognition and reparation. Through the methodological app
