Relations between different core-particle coupling models based on the Bohr Hamiltonian are discussed, and in particular the γ-unstable and rigid 30° triaxial cores are compared quantitatively. A new formulation is developed employing a rigid triaxial rotor core and the strong-coupling basis. Within the limitations imposed by this model core, it is equally applicable in the limits of small and ext
We introduce a method which makes possible to consider individual rotational bands in the high-spin region where pairing is unimportant. For each band, an independent energy minimisation with respect to quadrupole and hexadecapole deformation is performed. Bandcrossings at and above the yrast line are discussed in the light of recent experimental results.
Negative-parity excited states of doubly even nuclei have earlier been attributed to vibrational excitations. This paper shows that an interpretation starting from a reflection asymmetric intrinsic state is more appropriate for certain nuclei in the radium region. Theoretical evidence for stable octupole deformation comes from a deformed shell-model calculation in which we use a single-particle po
A detailed analysis of the positive parity levels in odd gold isotopes is carried out with an extended version of the Hecht and Satchler model (1962). A satisfactory description of 193-199Au positive parity levels and their electromagnetic properties is obtained by coupling several Nilsson particle configurations to an asymmetric rotor.
A detailed analysis of all the available experimental data concerning the h11/2 system of levels in 189,193,195Au is made with the generalised particle-asymmetric rotor model applied previously to the description of the positive-parity states. The influence of several Nilsson orbitals on such h11/2 systems is also investigated in detail.
A detailed analysis of the positive parity levels in odd iridium isotopes is carried out with an extended version of the Hecht and Satchler model. A satisfactory description of187-193Ir positive parity states and their electromagnetic properties is obtained by coupling several Nilsson particle configurations to an asymmetric rotor.
·Public opinion is essential for democratic societies, but social media changes how opinion is formed. ·Affective polarization – the phenomenon that individuals develop strong emotional attachments to their own political group and strong dislike and bias toward political outgroups – is growing in many democratic societies. ·Affective polarization may make individuals more susceptible to belie
Objectives: To assess the existence of international, scientifically validated methods for manual surgical skills training and assessment. The aim was to create a descriptive chronological summary of the existing evidence and conclusions in the included articles. Methods: PubMed and Scopus were searched twice for reviews published between 1997 and October 2023 and between 1997 and January 2024. Th
Background: Parents’ perceptions of children’s sleep problems when using a weighted blanket could enhance the understanding of challenges faced by families with ADHD and sleep problems. This is in alignment with a client-centred approach. Acknowledging, what parents perceive as a problem in a family context. Aim: To explore changes in parents’ perceptions of their children’s sleep problems before
Urbanization in coastal megacities leads to trade-offs between development and ecology, degrading carbon sinks and disrupting spatial-functional balance. Current models often fail to integrate land use, carbon dynamics, and ecological zoning. This study created a system that brings together Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS), Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVE
By 2050, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be 40% of all cars on the road1. In some countries like Norway, more than 90% of the new cars sold are electric2. This rise in EVs presents challenges to the current electricity infrastructure to meet this rapid increase in electricity demand. In this study, we simulate urban residential electricity demand using an agent-based model to investigate t
Objective: Foetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 10% of pregnancies, contributing to 30% of stillbirths. Current management of early-onset FGR (< 32 + 0 weeks' gestation) delivers the foetus before stillbirth or irreversible organ damage. The resulting preterm births create additional risks independent of FGR. We determined the economic cost associated with severe early-onset FGR. Design: Econom
Observational studies suggest that direct contact from healthcare to at-risk relatives may increase genetic counselling (GC) uptake as compared to family-mediated risk disclosure, but randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are lacking. This study assessed whether the offer of direct letters to relatives at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome increases GC uptake compa
The very high spin behaviour of nuclei with ∼ 10 particles outside the 146Gd core are studied. Our method of calculation, which is based on the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism, makes possible to follow individual configurations as functions of spin. We concentrate on 158Er and 154Dy which nuclei become oblate with rotation around the symmetry axes for I = 40-50. It is found that most such obl
Aims: The main aim of the present study was to identify factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL), as measured by EQ-5D-5L, in individuals 1 year after the acute phase of COVID-19.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 75 participants (51% females), 1 year after confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (76% hospitalised). Associations between HRQoL, measured by patient-reported outcom
Under senare år har en växande oro över att allt yngre barn misstänks för grov brottslighet drivit fram en kriminalpolitisk agenda och lagstiftningsreformer som successivt minskar skillnaderna mellan barn och vuxna i det svenska straffsystemet. År 2023 reformerades bevistaleinstitutet, genom vilket en domstol kan pröva om ett barn under 15 år har begått en brottslig gärning utan att någon påföljd In recent years, growing concern over increasingly younger children being suspected of serious offences has driven a criminal policy agenda and legislative reforms that gradually reduce the differences between children and adults within the Swedish criminal justice system. In 2023, the evidentiary proceedings, through which a court may determine whether a child under the age of 15 has committed a
I dagens Sverige aktualiseras allt oftare frågan om hur straffrätten ska förhålla sig till allvarlig brottslighet som begås av barn och unga. Det är inte ovanligt att barn under straffbarhetsåldern involveras i kriminalitet, vilket har gett upphov till en kriminalpolitisk debatt om barns straffrättsliga ansvar. En mindre uppmärksammad aspekt i denna diskussion rör emellertid vilket ansvar vuxna i In contemporary Sweden, questions increasingly arise as to how criminal law should respond to serious crimes committed by children. It is not uncommon for minors below the age of criminal responsibility to be drawn into criminal activity, a development that has given rise to an extensive criminal policy debate concerning children’s criminal liability. A less examined aspect of this debate, however
I svensk straffrätt är alla medborgare föremål för åtal även om individen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning. Åtalade som lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning kan få rättspsykiatrisk vård som påföljd. Rättspsykiatrisk vård är en tidsobestämd påföljd som inte kan kombineras med ett fängelsestraff. Vården kan förenas med en så kallad särskild utskrivningsprövning om det finns risk för att persIn Swedish penal law all defendants can be prosecuted even if they suffer from a serious mental disorder. These defendants can be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for an indefinite time. In today’s system there are no possibilities to combine psychiatric care with prison as a penalty. The psychiatric care can be combined with a special discharge review that enables the convicted’s sentence t
