Railways are vulnerable to extreme weather events. Some of these are expected to increase in frequency and severity in a warming world, prompting adaptation efforts. To inform these efforts, we have analysed railway operations data from Sweden in the period 2001-2020 to learn more about the past effects of extreme weather events on train delays. We have used a database containing some 1.6 billion
Rörelsekvalité är en faktor som anses vara viktig att utvärdera hos patienter med främre korsbandsskada. Däremot har det inte varit helt klarlagt hur rörelsekvaliteten ska utvärderas. Denna avhandling utvärderar postural orientering som ett kliniskt mått på rörelsekvalitet
Alteration in postural orientation (i.e., the ability to align body segments in relation to each other) can occur due to pain or injury and is suggested to be a risk factor for traumatic knee injuries and early onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. However, clinical and biomechanical assessment of postural orientation is time-consuming, thus new and faster methods are needed in order to be
Patients referred to orthopeadic care due to longstanding hip and groin pain often suffers from hip-related pain. Hip-related pain such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome may lead to early onset of hip osteoarthritis. Previous research has shown that patients with longstanding hip and groin pain have poor patient-reported outcomes compared to healthy controls. Also, decreased hip muscle stre
BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic stroke is a heterogeneous condition, with a wide spectrum of possible underlying causes for which the optimal secondary prevention may differ substantially. Attempting a correct etiological diagnosis to reduce the stroke recurrence should be the fundamental goal of modern stroke management.METHODS: Prospective observational international multicenter study of cryptogenic str
Technologies developed since the late eighteenth century differ from earlier forms of technology by being as dependent on world market prices of labour, land and other biophysical resources as on human inventiveness. Yet, whether their outlook is mainstream or heterodox, modern people tend to view technology simply as ingenuity applied to nature, while oblivious of the extent to which it is contin
The spleen contracts during apnea, releasing stored erythrocytes, thereby increasing systemic hemoglobin concentration (Hb). We compared apnea and rebreathing periods, of equal sub-maximal duration (mean 137 s; SD 30), in eighteen subjects to evaluate whether respiratory arrest or hypoxic and hypercapnic chemoreceptor stimulation is the primary elicitor of splenic contraction and cardiovascular re
Cyclin dependent-kinase 2 (CDK2) plays important functions during the mitotic cell cycle and also facilitates several key events during germ cell development. The majority of CDK2's known meiotic functions occur during prophase of the first meiotic division. Here, CDK2 is involved in the regulation of meiotic transcription, the pairing of homologous chromosomes, and the maturation of meiotic cross
Recent work showing a strong quality improvement of the Si/SiO2 material system by low temperature atomic hydrogen annealing (AHA), and the fact that III-V semiconductors outperform Si in many applications makes the investigation of AHA on III-V/high-k interfaces to a very interesting topic. In this work, the potential of AHA as a low temperature annealing treatment of InGaAs metal-oxide-semicondu
Plant mitochondria produce the majority of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the cellular energy currency for metabolic reactions needed for plant growth, development, and maintenance. Despite a relatively thorough understanding of basic mitochondrial functions, many mitochondrial proteins and processes remain poorly understood. The aims of this thesis are to i) review and compare the mitochondrial u
This book explores the concept of religious Enlightenment in the Nordic countries during the long eighteenth century. It argues that Lutheran confessional culture became intertwined with Enlightenment ideas and practices in this European region. In the book's three parts, specialist historians explore themes central to students of the early modern era - historical writing, material culture, ecclesThis book explores the concept of religious Enlightenment in the Nordic countries during the long eighteenth century.

Introduction: Over the past two decades, there has been a shift from concealing diagnoses of sex development from impacted people to the broad principle of age-appropriate disclosure. This change is consistent with children’s rights and with general shifts towards giving children medical information and involving patients in medical decision-making. The present paper examines how health profession
Whereas theoretical attacks on standardized crypto primitives rarely lead to actual practical attacks, the situation is different for side-channel attacks. Improvements in the performance of side-channel attacks are of utmost importance.In this paper, we propose a framework to be used in key-recovery side-channel attacks on CCA-secure post-quantum encryption schemes. The basic idea is to construct
