Elastic fibers containing elastin play an important role in tendon functionality, but the knowledge on presence and function of elastin during tendon healing is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate elastin content and distribution in intact and healing Achilles tendons and to understand how elastin influence the viscoelastic properties of tendons. The right Achilles tendon was complet
In The Value Gap, Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen addresses the distinction between what is finally good and what is finally good-for, two value notions that are central to ethics and practical deliberation. The first part of the book argues against views that claim that one of these notions is either faulty, or at best conceptually dependent on the other notion. Whereas these two views disagree on whether
This research explores teacher educators' self-reported preparedness to teach students with special educational needs. Teacher educators are concerned with preparing the next generation of teachers who will, in turn, be addressing the needs of students with special educational needs within schools. Being able to address this important task also in their own teaching at the teacher education progra
BACKGROUND: Low level of physical activity is a risk factor for new cardiac events in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. Physical activity can be assessed by self-reporting or objectively by accelerometery.AIM: To investigate the agreement between self-reported and objectively assessed physical activity among OHCA survivors HYPOTHESIS: Self-reported levels of physical activity will s
Tailoring the activity of an organometallic catalyst usually requires a targeted ligand design. Tuning the ligand bulkiness and tuning the electronic properties are popular approaches, which are somehow interdependent because substituents of different sizes within ligands can determine inter alia the occurrence of different degrees of inductive effects. Ligand basicity, in particular, turned
The present status of particle physics is that the Standard Model has been completed with the discovery of theHiggs boson in 2012, but there is a multitude of phenomena in nature which is not accounted for by this model.Researchers are investigating possibilities for detecting new physics at the current particle physics facilities, withthe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the frontier.

In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for this area has come to focus on a ‘compact city’ typology in line with Malmö’s strategy for creating a ‘near, dense, green and mixed city’. Such compact city typology emphasizes high density, urbanity, pro
Previous research has shown that the polarization ratio technique allows the characterization of the surface mean diameter, D21, of droplets forming dilute sprays. However, its application to optically dense sprays has posed significant challenges due to the presence of multiple light scattering. Additionally, errors in measurement can arise from the angular dependence of the signal. In this Lette
Terahertz (THz) technologies provide opportunities ranging from calibration targets for satellites and telescopes to communication devices and biomedical imaging systems. A main component will be broadband THz absorbers with switchability. However, optically switchable materials in THz are scarce and their modulation is mostly available at narrow bandwidths. Realizing materials with large and broa
This presentation focuses the emotional dilemmas of social workers who recruit and assess foster parents, in a context increasingly defined by market dynamics. Following privatization paralleled with increasing need for childcare, private and public actors today compete to contract potential foster parents in Sweden. For this paper, 43 interviews (with social workers and managers), 21 observation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Many of the energy needs in today’s modern society are fulfilled by sources based on fossil fuels, including non-domestic oil and coal. It is well known that the increase in CO2 emission is the result of human activities, mostly fossil fuel consumption. The use of such fuels is unsustainable and has led to the phenomena such as climate change, political instability in sThe gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,
In the dawning era of artificial intelligence (AI), health care stands to undergo a significant transformation with the increasing digitalization of patient data. Digital imaging, in particular, will serve as an important platform for AI to aid decision making and diagnostics. A growing number of studies demonstrate the potential of automatic pre-surgical skin tumor delineation, which could have t
Despite the accuracy of machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting invalid bug reports, as shown in earlier research, and the importance of early identification of invalid bug reports in software maintenance, the adoption of ML techniques for this task in industrial practice is yet to be investigated. In this study, we used a technology transfer model to guide the adoption of an ML technique a
Aim: Virtual clinical trials (VCT) in medical imaging can be used to predict the outcome of clinical trials, by simulating anatomy, imaging methods and image interpretation. VCTs could reduce the cost and duration of clinical trials and their dependence on available patients. This thesis is motivated by the limitations in the field of breast cancer screening. The aim of the project is to expand a
Stress är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till arbetsrelaterade besvär i Sverige. Under de senaste årtiondena har stora förändringar skett på arbetsmarknaden. Digitala lösningar har bidragit till ett mer gränslöst arbete där arbetstagarna arbetar under flexiblare former. Det flexibla arbetet kan leda till att konflikt mellan arbete och privatliv uppstår. Fastighetsmäklare är ett yrke som i hög grad Strain is one of the most common causes for work- related problems in Sweden. During the last decades, there have been chances on the labor market. Digital solutions have contributed to more boundaryless work where employees work with more flexibility, potentially leading to a conflict between work and personal life. Real estate agent is a profession that works under conditions that could be perce
