Popular Abstract in Swedish Kärnan kan ses som en samling nukleoner vilka hålls samman av den starka kraften. Nukleonerna är protoner (p) med laddning +1 och neutroner (n) med laddning 0. Kraften kan beskrivas som ett utbyte av mesoner såsom pioner (pi) vilka förekommer i tre laddningstillstånd pi+, pi- och pi0 (laddning +1, -1 och 0). Inuti kärnan rör sig nukleonerna och utbytesmesonerna vilket gA comprehensive near-threshold 4He(g,n) absolute cross section measurement has been performed at the high-resolution tagged-photon facility MAX-lab located in Lund, Sweden. The 20 < Eg < 45 MeV tagged photons (covering the Giant Dipole Resonance energy region) were directed towards a liquid 4He target, and knocked-out neutrons were detected in a pair of 60 cm x 60 cm vetoed NE213A liquid scintilla

This thesis is about the flight of vertebrates and the studies of different modes of flight. Flight has always fascinated mankind and this fascination gave inspiration for our attempts at flying. Yet there are many different modes of flight among vertebrates and this thesis focuses mainly on the flapping flight of bats and intermittent flight of birds, as well as compares some of the factors conce

Creep of concrete structures is in most cases regarded as a serviceability problem that may have impacts on maintenance and repair costs but cannot lead to structural collapse. However, several structural collapses during the past decades have been, at least partly, attributed to excessive creep deformations. Recent studies suggest that concrete creep may be further exacerbated by climate change.

AIMS: Synthetic glucocorticoids, including dexamethasone (DEX), are clinically prescribed due to their immunoregulatory properties. In excess they can perturb glucose homeostasis, with individuals predisposed to glucose intolerance more sensitive to these negative effects. While DEX is known to negatively impact β-cell function, it is unclear how. Hence, our aim was to investigate the effect of DE

In a large social science literature, unequal rural class structures (“landlordism”) are associated with authoritarian political outcomes. This paper revisits the debate, focus- ing on the landlords’ ideological domination of the lower classes and anti-democratic attitudes in estate-dominated areas. We contrast the authoritarian landlordism model with a perspective where inequality fosters leftist

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition observed across various medical specialties, including gastroenterology, otorhinolaryngology, surgery and primary care. Despite the routine prescription of proton pump inhibitors, some patients fail to experience adequate symptom relief. This review delves into the multifactorial mechanisms of reflux, which extend beyond hydrochloric

BACKGROUND: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) was implemented in 2018 in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care. This intervention empowers adolescents to self-admit at their own request for brief periods to prevent self-harm and suicidal crisis. As BA enhances healthcare user autonomy, it is a timely intervention to consider with the emerging human rights discourse and

Much research has been done on the sustainability of food consumption in the science sphere, but the research on social sustainability and plant-based diets are lacking in anthropology. This thesis aims to investigate how cultural perceptions affect what we choose to eat and if these perceptions can be challenged for the sake of sustainability. The analysis of the paper is based on a literature re

As the environmental crisis intensifies humans are searching in many corners of the world for solutions and actions to take on both a political, economic, and social level. In recent years, psychedelics have been brought forward in Western academia as a potential way of (re-)connecting humans with nature and foster pro-environmental behaviour. Using online, semi-structured interviews with research

The primary aim of the study was to investigate the applicability of Dunn’s sensory processing model (1997) to youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The model describes four patterns of sensory processing: sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration and sensation seeking. The current study test whether these four processes are related to, and differentiate, OCD from anxiety
