Objective: During the investigation of adrenal incidentalomas, it is important to accurately diagnose autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) but the specificity of cortisol ≥50 nmol/L after overnight dexamethasone suppression (cortisolONDST) is low. Therefore, ACTH following overnight dexamethasone suppression (ACTHONDST) and cortisol following a 2-day dexamethasone suppression test (cortisol2-DAYDST

III-V semiconductors, such as InAs, with an ultrathin high-κ oxide layer have attracted a lot of interests in recent years as potential next-generation metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, with increased speed and reduced power consumption. The deposition of the high-κ oxides is nowadays based on atomic layer deposition (ALD), which guarantees atomic precision and control over the d

Vi tittar upp nattetid och ser att vår Jord har en måne kretsande runt sig. Denna kallar vi Månen, och den har vi utforskat med hjälp av rymdsonder, olika landare och med hjälp av Apollo-astronauterna. Andra planeter har också månar kretsande runtom sig.

We have explored our moon with orbiters, rovers and astronauts, mapping it and studying its history.Other planets also have moons in orbit around them and these may look quite different from the Earth's moon. Some are small and look like asteroids, others are so icy they would become comets if they plu

Vi firar att det har gått 50 år sedan Sverige tillsammans med fem andra länder grundade det Europeiska Sydobservatoriet (ESO). Detta observatorium har gett oss enorma mängder vetenskaplig data samt tusentals fantastiska bilder av vårt underbara universum.Här tittar vi på vilka stjärnor och stjärnbilder som finns på vår natthimlen, vi lär oss lite om de stjärnor, stjärnhopar och nebulosor som finnsWe celebrate that it has been 50 years since Sweden together with five other countries founded the European Southern Observatory (ESO). ESO has provided the world with thousands of fantastic pictures of the cosmos.In this planetarium show we take a closer look at the stars and constellations that fill our night sky, we learn about the stars, stellar clusters and nebulae in our galaxy and we take a

The present review is conceived to be a contribution from the double perspective of a semiotician and a designer to the current debate on the extended mind and on distributed cognition, focusing on the role of things (artefacts, material culture) for the emergence of agency in animate beings. The theory of material engagement as conceived by Lambros Malafouris was formally introduced seven years a

Det finns åtta planeter i bana runt vår egen stjärna Solen och flera dvärgplaneter. Astronomer har numera upptäckt avlägsna exoplaneter kretsande runt andra stjärnor i vår galax Vintergatan. Här lyfter vi blicken upp och beundrar nattens alla stjärnor och stjärnbilder och följer astronomerna på deras upptäcktsfärd bland avlägsna exoplaneter.Orbiting our star, the Sun, there are eight planets and several dwarf planets. Astronomers have now discovered planets orbiting several nearby stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. In this planetarium show we look up into the starry night sky, familiarize ourselves with the stars and the constellations, and together we discover the exoplanets out there and how they can be detected.

Ida har fått ett nytt teleskop av sin farfar och vill nu lära sig använda den. Hon och hennes kusin Malin träffar Sara och Hanna en vacker stjärnklar kväll och får lära känna natthimmeln. När de har lärt sig hitta på natthimmeln lyckas de leta upp planeter, nebulosor och galaxer.Ida has a received a new telescope from her grandfather and now she wants to learn how to use it. She meets up with Malin, Sara and Hanna late at night and together they learn to navigate the night sky and locate some planets, nebulae and galaxies.

Rymden är så ofattbart stor och vi har ännu inte uppfunnit teknologin för att kunna resa ut till stjärnorna. Det längsta som någon människa har rest ut i vårt universum är till Månen. Stjärnorna som vi ser under stjärnklara nätter finns långt bortom planeterna. Men de är ändå en del av vår egen galax som vi kallar för Vintergatan. Det finns hundratals miljarder galaxer i vårt universum. I denna viSpace is huge and we have yet to discover how to travel among the stars. The furthest any human has ever been is to the Moon. The stars may look close enough to touch at night, but they lie far beyond the planets of our Solar system. They belong to our galaxy; The Milky Way, one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in our Unverse. In this planetariumshow we take a closer look at our Moon and look b

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to rank capabilities and suggest a relevant set of capabilities for the Swedish context to inform the development of capability-adjusted life years (CALYs). CALYs is a quality of life measure for policy making based on the capability approach by Amartya Sen.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Swedish governmental review proposed the following 10 relevant capabilities:

The purpose of this chapter is to reflect on the necessity of incorporating practical and experiential learning modalities in higher education to prepare communication and relationship management students for engaging others in potentially conflicting socio-cultural heterogeneous settings. It is argued that cultural diversity sensitivity, cultivated in teaching modalities, could enhance social coh

Many public organizations think of themselves as brands and engage in branding to increase their attractiveness. Often this is seen as a good practice, but this paper takes a more skeptical view and interrogates the value of place branding expertise for public organizations. Through observation of a place branding conference, drawing on some principles from ethnomethodology, this paper provides cl

Why do large differences in fiscal capacity exist between states in the Global South? We constructa comprehensive new dataset of tax and revenue collection for 46 African polities from 1900 to2015. Descriptive analyses show that many polities in Africa have been characterized by stronggrowth in real tax collection. As a next step, we employ these data to test theories of fiscal capac-ity in a long

The emissions of 137Cs into the environment from the nuclear accidents in Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011 led to the need to decontaminate large areas to avert radiation doses to the population in the affected areas. To be able to perform cost-effective and sustainable remediation, knowledge is needed about how radiation doses can be minimized through optimized interventions such that the

Who is a child’s father? Is it the man who raised her, or the one whose genes she carries—or both? WIn this chapter, we look at the view that men who have raised children they falsely believed to be ‘their own’ have been victims of a form of fraud or are ‘false fathers’. We consider the question of who has been harmed in such cases, and in what the harm consists. We use conceptual analysis, a phil

In this brief text we look at one instance of how gender norms continue to inform institutional treatment of parents regarding care for children: specifically, at how the exercise of fathers' responsibilities for their children can be discouraged or altogether blocked.
