Prediction of analyte retention times requires prior knowledge of the column void volume, the measurement of which is still highly contested within the literature and therefore experimental based prediction is often used. In this study, we investigated deuterated acetonitrile as an isotopically labelled mobile phase component to observe its elution behaviour in a binary mixture with water at 25 di

Recent measurements of collective effect-like signals in small collision systems has highlighted the need for new models to explain these phenomena. One good candidate for such a model is the AMY QCD effective kinetic theory, which is valid for systems in- and out-of-equilibrium. This thesis is a collection of four papers which all investigate how to apply AMY kinetic theory to explain the evoluti

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are established pharmaceutical therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. They mimic the action of GLP-1 to reduce glucose levels through stimulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of glucagon secretion. They also reduce body weight by inducing satiety through central actions. The GLP-1 receptor agonists used clinically are ba

This article provides a critical literature review on the regional determinants of environmental innovation. The analysis of the relevant literature on supply-side factors, demand-side factors, and institutional factors reveals the importance of regional determinants in green technology development. Specifically, regional R&D collaborations, university-industry collaborations, and technologica

This thesis is composed of four papers, the first two show the attempts made to extend the Pythia event generator to simulate heavy-ion collision events. The other two papers show methods to improve the hadronization mechanism in the Pythia model for a bettter agreement with the experimental data of pp and heavy-ion collisions.Paper I introduces a new model named Angantyr for heavy-ion collision e

Notwithstanding the wealth of research on migration and subjective wellbeing, the issue of moonlighting and its welfare implication among migrants has not been thoroughly explored in empirical literature. Using rich individual-level panel data from the University of Cape Town’s National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), this study established a number of interesting findings: (a) there is moonlighting

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) directly convert chemical energy to electricity with high electrical efficiency. It involves gas transport through the porous electrode to the three-phase boundaries (TPB). The tortuosity of gas transport relates the bulk diffusion of gas in free space to the effective diffusion coefficient of gas migrating through a porous material. Therefore, determining the tortuo

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the risks of mortality, morbidity and postnatal characteristics associated with extreme preterm fetal growth restriction (EP-FGR).DESIGN: The EVERREST (Do e s v ascular endothelial growth factor gene therapy saf e ly imp r ove outcome in seve r e e arly-onset fetal growth re st riction?) prospective multicentre study of women diagnosed with EP-FGR (singleton, estimated fetal

The industrialization of agriculture and efforts to maximize yields of commodity crops are major drivers of biodiversity loss and disruption of ecosystems balance. To become more sustainable, agriculture needs to be aligned with the delivery of multiple ecosystem services, and reduce its dependency on external inputs and its negative environmental impacts. Increasing crop diversity may be a key st

This paper treats the problem of control signal saturation caused by feedforward control from measurable load disturbances. An efficient feedforward compensator will often give significant peaks in the control signal at fast changes in the load disturbance. These peaks may cause the control signal to reach a saturation limit. In the paper, it is shown that the anti-windup function may cause unnece

Languages vary considerably in how they group objects into categories. For example, the word taza in Spanish can refer to either cup or mug in English, whereas glass can refer to either copa or vaso – two different types of glasses –, in Spanish. It is still debated whether such language distinctions cause differences in early perceptual processing between speakers of different languages. Here, fo

Aims: An observational nationwide all-comers prospective register study to analyse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Methods and results: All patients undergoing coronary angiography in Sweden are registered in the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-b

Det övergripande syftet med denna studie, som ingick i forskningsprojektet Skånska hem: mottagande, etablering eller exkludering – hemlöshetspolitik och strategier för flyktingars bosättning, var att undersöka och beskriva Svalövs kommuns strategier för mottagande och bosättning av flyktingar och hemlösa kommuninvånare under åren 2018 till och med 2022. Forskningsprojektet ska ses mot bakgrund av
