This thesis highlights the research and development of a new plastic-scintillator detector for time-of-flight measurements in relativistic heavy-ion beam experiments. The detector makes possible the identification of different ion species on flight distances as short as a few meters. The novelty lies in the design approach of using many moderately fast, independent measurements of every physical e
Popular Abstract in Swedish Konventionella neuropsykologiska test, och begåvningstest, tar sällan hänsyn till att begåvningen "filtreras" genom individens personlighet vid utförandet av uppgifterna. Två lika begåvade personer (dvs med samma IQ) kan utföra samma test på helt olika sätt beroende på t.ex att den ena är impulsiv och snabb och den andra eftertänksam och försiktig. Detta medför skillnad"Personality determines very largely the use a person makes of his intellectual gifts" (Eysenck, 1988). Computerization of neuropsychological tests has made possible a detailed analysis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects of a person´s test performance. Factor analyses of test data generally bring out two main factors of performance: speed and accuracy, representing both the intellectual

Speed, portability and quality. These are all attributes that manufacturers are striving to achieve. The demand for speed is making wireless frequencies increase with a steady pace. The demand for portability is filling the world with high speed wireless devices that are expecting their data fast and without errors. The demand for quality is met by making efficient ways of testing products before
Room acoustics, as a branch of architectural acoustics, has got more and more attention nowadays. One of the aims of the room acoustics is to develop different method to evaluate the acoustic performance of the rooms and to address human acoustic comfort needs. Meanwhile, the process of reverberation plays an important role in room acoustics, and it is also an evaluation standard of evaluating roo
A novel promising Mycobacterium Species Bio-based platform chemicals and polymers have drawn great attention nowadays because of their environmental and economic impacts, compared to those obtained from the fossil. These can be produced from renewable resources, and further transformed to value-added products by enzymes and microorganisms. For example, Mycobacterium sp. MS1601 has the capability
Creative agency acquisitions by leading management consulting firms is a phenomenon that was recently discovered. Therefore, very few studies have explored M&As within this specific context. This lack of research is surprising because in today’s highly competitive environment businesses increasingly have started acquiring external creative capabilities to be able to provide end-to-end solution
Företagsobligationsmarknaden utgör en viktig del av Sveriges kapitalmarknad och har under de senaste åren upplevt en betydande tillväxt. Genom att emittera företagsobligationer har företag möjlighet att inbringa kapital till sin verksamhet, medan investerare erhåller avkastning. En nyckelaktör i denna process är arrangören, som utses av emittenten för att leda projektet. Arrangören spelar en avgörThe corporate bond market is an important part of Sweden's capital market and has experienced significant growth in recent years. By issuing corporate bonds, companies can raise capital for their operations, while investors receive a financial return. A key element in this process is the arranger, who is appointed by the issuer to manage the project. The arranger plays a crucial role, particul

Wind is a significant geomorphological agent in formerly glaciated areas and aeolian deposits surround and stretch across the Store Mosse (Great Bog) bog complex in southwestern Sweden. Both peat and aeolian sand are underlain by lacustrine sediment and the deposits record the area's transition from an initially ice-dammed lake to Ancient Lake Bolmen, which gradually drained, exposing sediments to
Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has puzzled mankind since the time of ancient Greece. It is a process widespread across a varied range of taxa and it shines especially in birds which, because of their mobility, display an amazing diversity of routes and strategies. With the advances in tracking devices and improvements of sequencing technologies, recent work provides support for
In the adult murine brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) can be found in two main niches: the dentate gyrus (DG) and the subventricular zone (SVZ). In the DG, NSCs produce intermediate progenitors (IPs) that differentiate into excitatory neurons, while progenitors in the SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB), where they mainly differentiate into inhibitory interneurons. Neurogenesis, the process of ge
X-ray time-resolved tomography is one of the most popular X-raytechniques to probe dynamics in three dimensions (3D). Recent developments in time-resolved tomography opened the possibility of recordingkilohertz-rate 3D movies. However, tomography requires rotating thesample with respect to the X-ray beam, which prevents characterization of faster structural dynamics. Here, we present megahertz (MH
Corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement is the prime influencing factor that deteriorates the structural performance and reduces the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially during earthquakes. In structural elements, RC columns play a vital role in transferring the superstructure's load to the substructure. The deterioration of RC columns can affect the structures' over
Trafikverket är enligt Järnvägssäkerhetslag (2022:367), 2 kap., 2 § skyldigt att ha ett säkerhetsstyrningssystem. Säkerhetsstyrningssystemet ska utformas så att de risker som verksamheten kan ge upphov till kan hanteras det vill säga att identifiera, analysera och utvärdera risker som är relevanta för, i detta fall järnvägstunnlar. För att tillgodose kraven i ett praktiskt sammanhang behövs någon
A year after the establishment of the protest camp Palestinagård at Lund’s University in May 2024 and its demolishment by the authorities, the student solidarity movement is continuously engaged in endeavours to get into conversations with the institutions at Lunds University to make their demands heard, as the genocide on the Palestinian population in Gaza is still ongoing. Further, Palestinagård
The “Warburg effect”, a metabolic adaptation observed in dividing cells, involves a shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to cytoplasmic glucose metabolism. This metabolic process is characterized by increased cellular uptake of glucose and glutamine, elevated intracellular pH and sodium levels, enhanced protection against oxidative stress, altered autophagy, and increased lactate pro
Background: Antibody-mediated complement fixation has previously been associated with protection against malaria in naturally acquired immunity. However, the process of early-life development of complement-fixing antibodies in infants, both in comparison to their respective mothers and to other immune parameters, remains less clear. Results: We measured complement-fixing antibodies in newborns and
The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a pleiotropic hormone that regulates essential life-history traits and is known for its major contribution to determining individual ageing processes. High levels of IGF-1 have been linked to increased mortality and are hypothesised to cause oxidative stress. This effect has been observed in laboratory animals, but whether it pertains to wild vertebrates
Fluorescence sensing plays an increasingly important role in biology and biomedicine. For many practical applications of fluorescent probes, an “off-on” response is preferred. The question of how fluorescence quenching/enhancement occurs is fundamental and of high importance for application and design of new fluorescent probes. The sensing mechanism of an aminorhodamine (TMARh) pH probe is investi
