Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) from mobilized blood are the preferred graft source for allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation. The efficiency of CD34+ cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) varies significantly between individuals, but is reproducible across mobilization cycles within an individual, suggesting a genetic component, a hypoth
Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are a fast growing market of high performance materials and components. Thermally induced damage during machining processes such as drilling or routing are among the limiting factors for product quality, yet accurate temperature measurement remains challenging. This study develops a methodology which combines machinable thermocouples and IR thermometry techn
We examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective. Analysis of court observations, interviews and shadowing of judges and prosecutors at four Swedish district courts and prosecution offices shows that power and status operate differently for the respective professions, resulting in disti
The work of stage actors has long been used as a simile for every day role playing, generating theoretical concepts to describe how people work to pre-sent themselves in general and how they manage their emotions in particular. Building on this tradition, this article analyses professional stage actors’ deliberate emotion management as an embodied professionalisation process, focusing the relation
Thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) are critical for real-time temperature monitoring in advanced manufacturing processes where conventional sensors fail due to spatial constraints or complex geometries. This study develops K-type TFTCs on stainless steel 316 L substrates with optimized SiO₂/SiO insulation layers for industrial deployment. In particular, two types of stainless steel substrates were in
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has extensive pathology that critically includes the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. This loss leads to debilitating motor features such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms. Intracerebral dopamine cell transplants have been explored for many years as a new approach to treating PD
Recent research has indicated that machining of titanium alloys with uncoated cemented tungsten carbide tools fulfil the criteria for Kirkendall porosity. If this occurs during machining, it could contribute to the type and rate of tool wear, compromising the tools structural integrity close to the edge line within the contact zone. In this study, voids were observed at the tool-workpiece contact
Aims The Trump movement displays several key features of a populist movement with a strong leader and a broad unorganized base of followers opposed to a per-ceived liberal elite establishment. In 2024, Trump gained strong support from strata with low income, low education and Hispanic men, previously not strong support-ers of Republicans. This study investigates the preconditions for a populist mo
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive condition characterized by airway remodeling, including emphysema and fibrosis. Proteoglycans and their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains are key components of the extracellular matrix and may be altered as the disease advances. This study analyzed lung tissue from COPD patients (GOLD stages II-III and IV), non-COPD smokers, and non-smoker
In addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions. This paper aims to study how neighborhood conditions in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence genera
Energy is among the main driving forces needed for sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing and balancing supply and demand. This thesis explains an approach to energy planning whic
This thesis consists of six articles on three different subjects in the area of complex analysis, operator theory and harmonic analysis. Part I - "The Shift Operator on Spaces of Vector-valued Analytic Functions" consists of three closely connected articles that investigate certain operators in the Cowen-Douglas class with spectrum D - the unit disc, or equivalently, the shift operator M_z
As the Internet of Things (IoT) era emerges the need for ultra-low power (ULP) devices is becoming more eminent. A research-proven approach to achieve ULP consumption is to aggressively lower the supply voltage (VDD) below or in the vicinity of the transistor threshold voltage (Vth) and operate the transistors in the subthreshold (sub-Vth) region. Operating below or near the threshold voltage, i.e
This work is primarily about the development, validation and application of computer simulation models for intrinsically disordered proteins, both in solution and in the presence of uniformly charged, ideal surfaces. The models in question are either coarse-grained or atomistic in nature, and their applications are dependent on the specific purpose of each study. Both, Metropolis Monte Carlo and m
The world is today facing a serious problem with global warming, which is heading towards an appallingly high temperature level. The greater part of the overall climate science community agree that global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, which depends largely on emitted CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel.

Bakgrund: Stroke är en folksjukdom som drabbar många i Sverige och är en vanlig orsak till dödsfall. Sjukdomen orsakas av syrebrist i hjärnan, vilket kan leda till många olika varianter av funktionsnedsättningar bland de individer som överlever. En inaktiv livsstil är en av många riskfaktorer för stroke och fysisk aktivitet har tidigare visat sig vara ett effektivt verktyg för att minska risken fö
