A flexible method of preparing and macroscopically aligning nanoparticles of crystalline silver into millimeter long fibers is presented. The approach utilizes the dual functionality of a reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline template containing a built-in reducing agent facing the aqueous domain. The method is advantageous in that its slow kinetics allows for a thorough introduction of a silver sa

The diagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM) is often difficult, depending heavily on the experience and skills of the examiner. However, it is important to identify episodes of AOM that involve the risk of complications and to treat these episodes appropriately. The present study was performed in order to evaluate the use of a rapid antigen assay for Streptococcus pneumoniae, the Binax NOW test, as

The increased demand for clean power in recent years has led to the development of various processes that include different types of CO2 capture. Several options are possible: pre-combustion concepts (fuel de-carbonization and subsequent combustion of H2), post-combustion concepts (tail-end CO2 capture solutions, such as amine scrubbing), and integrated concepts in which combustion is carried out

We report on a study of singlet-singlet annihilation kinetics in a series of Zn(II)-porphyrin-appended dendrimers, where the energy transfer efficiency is significantly improved by extending the molecular chain that connects the light-harvesting chromophores to the dendrimeric backbone with one additional carbon. For the largest dendrimer having 64 Zn(II)-porphyrins, only 10% of the excitation int

Various mechanisms of secondary ice production (SIP) cause multiplication of numbers of ice particle, after the onset of primary ice. A measure of SIP is the ice enhancement ratio (“IE ratio”) defined here as the ratio between number concentrations of total ice (excluding homogeneously nucleated ice) and active ice-nucleating particles (INPs). A convective line observed on 11 May 2011 over the Sou

The gig economy has expanded rapidly across the globe, and has become an increasingly influential feature of modern labour markets. The flexibility and autonomy offered by gig work coupled with the ability to earn a steady income are recognised benefits by many workers on digital platforms. These benefits can work synergistically with entrepreneurship, which is often characterised by uncertain tim

Denna uppsats behandlar frågeställningar rörande romska barn, dvs. barn med minoritetsstatus i LVU-ärenden (lagen om vård av unga). Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur rättsväsendet hanterar LVU-ärenden som berör romska barn och att undersöka om rättsväsendet vidtar speciella åtgärder för att garantera de romska barnen sina minoritetsrättigheter. Uppsatsens har även två delysften, att kortfattat bThis essay deals with issues concerning the Romani children, i.e. children with minority status in LVU cases (the law on the care of youth). The essays main purpose is to study how the legal system handles LVU cases involving Romani children and to investigate if the judiciary is taking special measures to ensure the Romani children their minority rights. The essay also aims to briefly describe th

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda scha

The project examines how a dog carrier for the rear seat of the car can be designed to provide safety and improve user experience, for dog and human. To include both of the users throughout the process, an animal-human centred design approach was applied. The report presents the concept development process of the dog carrier and evaluates how selected methods fulfil the design approach. Initially

De senaste åren har den svenska juridiken satts under press då gängkriminaliteten i landet blomstrar. Inom det svenska rättssystemet är det särskilt bevisvärderingen som har varit en aspekt som föranlett debatter om huruvida svenska domstolar gör fullgoda värderingar. Av särskilt intresse inom bevisvärderingen är de alternativför- klaringar som presenteras i rätten och därigenom inverkar på domsluIn recent years, Swedish jurisprudence has been subject to ominous pressure parallel to the flourishing of as gang crime. Within the Swedish legal system, the evaluation of evidence has been a particular aspect that has sparked debates on whether Swedish courts make adequate assessments in such cases. Particularly, the evaluation of al- ternative explanations presented in court is of specific inte

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases

Classical model reduction techniques project the governing equations onto a linear subspace of the original state space. More recent data-driven techniques use neural networks to enable nonlinear projections. While those often enable stronger compression, they may have redundant parameters and lead to suboptimal latent dimensionality. To overcome these issues, we propose a multistep algorithm that

The thesis investigates the current duration of Swedish permitting procedures, how the process is perceive

Background: Reuse of sterile textiles could potentially reduce the carbon footprint of operating theatres. The aim of this mixed-methods study is to gain a deeper understanding of the implementation of reusable drapes and gowns across different contexts through applying the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).Methods: A mixed-methods analysis was performed of cross-sectional

In this study an algorithm was developed for calculating maximum detectable distance (MDD) for mobile gamma-ray detection of lost sources in-situ for some common mobile spectrometer systems and gamma sources (137Cs and 60Co). The MDD is a function of detector efficiency, vehicle speed, acquisition time interval, radiation background level and accepted frequency of false alarms. To test its accurac
