BackgroundAntibiotics are handled in large amounts at hospitals at many different wards due to the wide range of bacterial infections that are treated. Unnecessary use and occupational exposure to antibiotics should be avoided due to the risk of bacterial resistance development and adverse health effects including skin and respiratory hypersensitivity reactions in persons handling these drugs.Obje

Anisotropy and isotropic transient absorption decays of a polythiophene derivative in dilute solution have been measured and compared to calculated decays on Monte Carlo simulated polymer chains to obtain knowledge about the geometrical conformation of the polymer. The polymer chain conformations are generated by a partially correlated self-avoiding random walk. Excitation migration along the isol

Software analytics (SA) is often proposed as a tool to support software engineering (SE) tasks. Several secondary studies on SA have been published, some published within the same calendar year. This presents an opportunity to take a meta-perspective and examine how the field of SA has been conceptualized and synthesized so far. By analyzing how SA is defined, which topics are emphasized, what sea

Context: Anomaly detection is crucial for maintaining cloud-based software systems, as it enables early identification and resolution of unexpected failures. Given rapid and significant advances in the anomaly detection domain and the complexity of its industrial implementation, an overview of techniques that utilize real-world operational data is needed. Aim: This study aims to complement existin

Developing novel organic photovoltaic materials for organic solar cells (OSCs) requires precise characterization of their charge transfer states to optimize the photoinduced charge transfer mechanisms within the photoactive layer. The microscopic photoelectric properties of the S-shaped (DYA-I-S) and O-shaped (DYA-I-O) conformations of dimeric small molecule acceptors (DSMAs) are analyzed through

Introduction. In this article we explore how findings from existing research on time, temporality and migration can be relevant to social work practice and inform social workers’ interaction with migrating individuals. In social work literature, time mainly appear as part of the procedural knowledge as organizationally decided time frames and deadlines for work which is sometimes internalized and

We have used approximately 40 fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser to investigate the ultrafast energy transfer and relaxation dynamics in the light-harvesting pigment-proteins of photosynthetic purple bacteria. Our results reveal two new features, not earlier observed in light-harvesting pigments: (1) ultrafast relaxation characterized by a time constant of approximately 20 fs, which we interpret a

Using ≈ 40 fs pulses we have observed coherent nuclear motions in intact membrane bound photosynthetic light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes. Computer simulations based on the harmonic Franck-Condon approximation and the Langevin equation describe qualitatively well the temperature and pulse wavelength dependence of the oscillations, indicating the possibility to observe higher harmonics of t

The light-harvesting apparatus of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is composed of a peripheral LH2 complex which directs excitation energy to the LH1/reaction center core. The puf BA genes encoding the LH1 polypeptides have been deleted, producing a photosynthetically-competent strain which contains LH2 and reaction centers. Time-resolved absorption and fluorescence measurement

The road to a Nobel Prize is usually long and winding. This article tracks theroad to Robert Fogel’s and Douglass North’s shared prize in economics in 1993through Lennart Jörberg’s correspondence from 1965 to 1989. Jörberg, for almosttwenty years professor and head of the Department of Economic History at LundUniversity, had during two year-long visits in the United States in the 1950s and1960s de

Kan energibalansen vid träning påverka benkvalitet? Hur påverkas de små byggstenarna i benet när kroppen får för lite energi men samtidigt utsätts för hård träningsbelastning? Denna studie undersöker hur man kan visualisera både kollagenfibrer samt bencellernas kommunikationsnätverk i benvävnad hos möss med, respektive utan relativ energibrist (RED-S). Relativ energibrist inom idrott (RED-S) uppRelative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a condition arising when dietary energy intake is insufficient to meet the combined demands of training and normal physiological functions. RED-S negatively impacts bone health, and increases the risk of stress fractures. Yet, its effects on bone matrix organization and overall bone quality is not well understood. Collagen and the osteocyte cells'

De allra flesta läkarbesöken för infektioner sker i primärvården. En hög och olämplig antibiotikaförskrivning innebär risker inte bara för biverkningar för patienten utan också för ökad antibiotikaresistens. Stora ansträngningar har gjorts för att minska antibiotikaförskrivning. Under covid-19-pandemin såg vi att antalet infektioner och antalet antibiotikaförskrivningar halverades. Hur kan vi fortThere is considerable variation in antibiotic prescribing rates among physicians, primary healthcare centres, and countries. If the variation could be reduced, the antibiotic prescribing could decrease.Methods. The thesis is based on real-world data from two databases containing infection visits: The Kronoberg Infection Database in Primary Care (infection visits in the Kronoberg region from 2006 t
