Semiconductor nanowires can enhance the signal of fluorescent molecules, thus significantly improving the limits of fluorescence detection in optical biosensing. In this work, we explore how the sensitivity can further be enhanced through "digital"detection of adequately spaced vertically aligned nanowires, employing single-emitter localization methods, and bright-field microscopy. Additionally, w
Nano-LEDs, with sizes smaller than 1 μm and close to sub-wavelengths, have received increasing attention because of their potential applications in next-generation self-emissive displays, visible light communication, optogenetics, maskless lithography, on-chip super-resolution microscopy, etc. In contrast to the top-down fabrication of nano-LEDs, where the efficiency drop caused by dry-etching rel

We introduce semidefinite programming hierarchies for benchmarking relevant entanglement properties in the high-dimensional steering scenario. Firstly, we provide a general method for detecting the entanglement dimensionality through certification of the Schmidt number. Its key feature is that the computational cost is independent of the Schmidt number under consideration. Secondly, we provide a m
Combining high peak and high average power has long been a key challenge of ultrafast laser technology, crucial for applications such as laser-plasma acceleration and strong-field physics. A promising solution lies in post-compressed ytterbium lasers, but scaling these to high pulse energies presents a major bottleneck. Post-compression techniques, particularly Herriott-type multi-pass cells (MPCs
For certain nanotechnological applications of the contractile proteins actin and myosin, e.g., in biosensing and network-based biocomputation, it would be desirable to temporarily switch on/off motile function in parts of nanostructured devices, e.g., for sorting or programming. Myosin XI motor constructs, engineered with a light-switchable domain for switching actin motility between high and low
This talk addresses the recent developments of the multi-pass cell approach for post-compression to the few-cycle regime. At Lund University and DESY, our current setups employ hybrid multi-pass multi-plates schemes to reach the sub-10 fs regime and drive high repetition rate attosecond XUV pulse generation in a compact manner.
Exercise is universally recommended as a primary strategy for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain. The recommendations are based on results from more than 100 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compare exercise to no-attention control groups. However, due to the inherent difficulties with adequate placebo control, participant blinding and the use of patient-reported outcomes, the
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth
Mänskliga attityder är fundamentala för att bevara jordens ekosystem. Denna studie undersökte sambandet mellan mänsklig empati och upplevelsen av samhörighet med naturen, mer specifikt, med specifika växter. Undersökningen baserades på enkäter och den statistiska analysen gjordes med rmANOVA. Deltagarna (N = 106, medelålder =32,7 SD =16,0) bedömde sin empati och upplevelse av samhörighet med naturHuman attitudes toward nature are fundamental for preserving earth’s ecosystems. This study investigated the malleability of human empathy and connectedness to specific plants. We randomly assigned participants (N = 106, Mean age = 32.7, SD = 16.0) to one of three different induction conditions, and measured trait general empathy and connectedness to nature, as well as state empathy and connectedn
Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det skett en förändring i svensk utvecklingspolitik sedan de nya riktlinjerna lanserades i propositionen PGU från 2002. Vårt mål är att urskilja vilka diskurser som är genomgående, hur dessa diskurser relationellt har påverkat varandra och hur de inbördes har förändrats över tid. Hur ser regeringen på utveckling, fattigdom och bistånd? Har det skett en
This study investigates concentrations of eight metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr, Ni, As) in the freshwater resource Lake Vomb, located in the south of Sweden (Scania), and explores the potential use of deformed Chironomidae larvae as bioindicator. Sediment samples from six locations were analysed against threshold values from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and background values
To eliminate terrorism and security risks in its country, States seek to return alleged terrorists to their countries of origin. This is sometimes problematic because of the human rights situation in the countries of origin&semic the return involves the prohibition of torture or ill-treatment, and the prohibition of refoulement. States are prohibited from practicing torture, including putting
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of emotion regulation given prior to imagery rescripting, IR, on the treatment outcome in a sample of patients suffering of social anxiety disorder, SAD. Research has shown that IR is an efficient treatment and intervention to process and transform problematic images that occur in SAD. The study was carried out as a randomized experimential comp
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka effekten av ett kartläggningsbesök med efterföljande telefonuppföljning på användande av kommunikationsstrategier och hörselrelaterad livskvalitet för individer med betydande hörselnedsättning (TMV4 60-69 dB HL på bättre örat). Metod: Ett kartläggningsbesök utformades där fokus låg på individen och dennes upplevda besvär kring den egna hörselnedsättningen
Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för hur ekonomin påverkas av legalisering av cannabis för rekreationsbruk. Ekonomin är en mycket intressant och meningsfull aspekt av legaliseringen där resultat inom olika områden används för att utvärdera eftereffekter och finna positiva och negativa trender för att se om resultaten är önskvärda eller inte. Genom detta arbete samlas tidigare studier och d
