Initially introduced as the dual single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC), the zeta converter has since evolved significantly from the classical direct current (DC) converter. Its ability to provide both buck and boost operation while maintaining non-inverting output voltage, continuous output current with low ripple has made it increasingly popular in a wide range of applications. The conv
Food supply is fundamental to societal resilience and, again, a priority across Europe. This paper proposes a theoretical framework to inform ongoing efforts to improve food supply security in highly privatised and fragmented food systems, grounded in the perspectives of key actors involved in securing food supply in Sweden. It is based on semi-structured interviews with 31 participants from publi
As anthropogenic forcing intensifies, soil moisture droughts have become prevalent across many regions. Soil moisture anomalies can influence near-surface air temperature by modulating both energy and carbon fluxes. However, the annual temperature response to soil moisture anomalies in the year following a soil moisture drought remains unclear. Here, we show that annual soil water loss in the year
In this paper, we study agency as expressed in the introductory text in the compilation thesis, the kappa (also referred to as e.g., thesis frame, synthesis or general introduction), a topic not often addressed in academic development work. Based on an analysis of a mix of sources – a course on kappa writing; focus groups discussions with doctoral students, examiners and supervisors; and a survey
This contribution has its focus on how Swedish Contract Law has met - and absorbed - digitalisation. The examination of a handful of court cases - mainly from the Swedish Supreme Court and sometimes implying rather inventive solutions - lead to the conclusion that the Courts' way to solve the contract law problems created by digitalisation shows that general Contract Law (with its most important
A key part of academic development work involves helping academic teachers develop a scholarly approach to teaching. One way to do this is to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), which Felten and Chick (2018) have suggested is a signature pedagogy of academic development. For PhD students who are aspiring academic teachers, being exposed to SoTL while they are also developing
Urfolks- och lokal kunskap (ULK) erkänns alltmer för sin betydelse inom miljöförvaltning. Trots detta saknar mycket forskning om tropiska skogsdjur ofta inkludering av urfolks epistemologier. Mitt examensarbete tar itu med det jag kallar för 'Inkluderings-Deltagande-Dialog-Produktionsgapet' genom fyra år av delaktighetsbaserad handlingsforskning (DHF) med två urfolksgemenskaper i den colombianska Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is increasingly recognised for its importance in environmental governance. However, despite this recognition, most research on tropical forest fauna lacks the inclusion of Indigenous epistemologies. My thesis addresses what I refer to as the Inclusion Participation-Dialogue-Coproduction Gap through four years of Participatory Action Research (PAR) with two Indi
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived indices of atrial remodeling have demonstrated predictive value in established atrial fibrillation (AF) but remain unexplored in screening-detected or symptomatic AF.OBJECTIVE: We investigated the prognostic value of implantable loop recorders (ILR) ECG-derived atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR), average f-wave envelope amplitude (FWA), and the organization
This paper discusses some problems in associating definitions and judgments of criminal unaccountability, e.g. criminal insanity, to psychiatric constructs, i.e., diagnoses, symptoms and related constructs of functional impairment. The aim is to highlight this relationship as to why it is inevitably challenging at a conceptual level. The backdrop of the paper is that the dependence between legal a
Pathological ossification is seen affecting different organs across the body. This includes the Achilles tendon, where the healing process after rupture can be impaired by heterotopic ossifications (HO). The formation pathways for HO in tendons are still debated, and one reason for this is our limited knowledge of their structure and composition in 3D. This study utilizes a multimodal 3D character
Rationale: Long-term exposure to air pollution contributes to chronic respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While the effect of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are supported by evidence, the contribution of black carbon (bc), a combustion-related pollutant, remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate associations of long
Ionizing radiation impairs male fertility, but the ultrastructural lesions linking radiation to sperm dysfunction remain unclear. The sperm annulus, a ring structure essential for flagellar in-tegrity, is a potential but unresolved target. Here, we integrate synchrotron X-ray ptychography, cryogenic soft X-ray tomog-raphy, electron microscopy, and confocal imaging for cross-scale visualization of
Data centers serve as crucial infrastructure for the development of the digital economy, and maintaining their thermal environment is essential for ensuring that computing equipment can execute workload properly. Thermal environment management and workload scheduling are mutually influential; however, current research often treats them separately, overlooking their bidirectional coupling relations
Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian mature cystic teratoma containing malignancy. Methods: This was an international, retrospective, observational study. We invited 19 (oncological or non-oncological) gynecological centers to provide clinical and ultrasound information on cases of histologically confirmed ovarian mature cystic teratoma containing malignanc
Background: Hippocampal sclerosis of aging (HS-A), a common cause of dementia, can currently only be diagnosed at autopsy. We aimed to identify and evaluate MRI metrics to distinguish HS-A from Alzheimer’s Disease neuropathologic change (ADNC) and cases with limited/no pathology. Methods: HS-A (N = 5), ADNC (N = 10), and limited/no pathology (N = 12) cases were compared on postmortem MRI signature
