Hållbar mobilitet innebär bland annat att prioritera aktiva färdmedel, närhet och tillgänglighet. Det handlar om mer än minskade utsläpp, det handlar också om att ”sätta människan i centrum”, om att skapa livskraftiga och välmående samhällen för alla, och samtidigt förbättra förutsättningarna för välbefinnande i ett rättvist och jämlikt samhälle, både inom och mellan generationer. Rapporten syftar
Micron-sized aluminum (Al) particles have recently been proposed as promising carbon-free energy carriers. To facilitate the application of micron-sized Al particles as fuel in practical energy generation system, this study experimentally investigates the underlying mechanisms of the ignition, stabilization and particle-particle collision in lifted Al particle cloud flames. High-resolution shadowg
Detailing how the cosmological environment surrounding a galaxy (large-scale structure) influences the local star-forming regions (small-scale structure) in the galaxy, and viceversa, remains an open question in the field of galaxy formation and evolution. Observations of massive star-forming galactic discs at extremely high redshifts have made this problem all the more pressing, putting current s
Background Labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash (MVC) influenced recovery expectations and management preferences. Research is needed to understand why these expectations and preferences varied based on the label given. Aim To explore how people perceive different labels for neck pain after an MVC. Methods We performed a content analysis of qualitative data from a randomised controlled
BACKGROUND: Tumour deposits are an important prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. In tumour node metastasis (TNM)8, the definition became stricter as TNM7's previous requirement for absence of lymphatic tissue was expanded to also include nerve and vascular tissue. TNM8 has been criticised for its limited prognostic value. This study aimed to compare prognostic differences for patients with col
BACKGROUND: Previous research has identified a need for relevant evidence-based clinical guidelines in primary care physiotherapy. However, an essential first step is to identify the most prevalent diagnoses among patients seeking physiotherapy. Thus, this study aims to (I) identify the most prevalent musculoskeletal diagnoses and, (II) describe physiotherapy utilization and patient characteristic
Motivation Machine learning offers a powerful approach for building predictive models from high-dimensional molecular data. Omics technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics quantify thousands of molecules simultaneously, providing deep insights into disease biology. Integrating multiple modalities can enhance predictive performance, as shown in histology-omics and holter-om
Thyroid cancer (TC) is substantially more common in women than in men, pointing to a possible role of sex steroid hormones. We investigated the association between circulating sex steroid hormones, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and the risk of differentiated TC in men and women within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition (EPIC) cohort. During follow-up, we identif
Previous research has indicated an association between the presence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in breast cancer tissue and a favorable prognosis. This study aimed to further evaluate the prognostic potential of VDR located in the nuclear membrane or nucleus (liganded). The VDR protein levels were analyzed using immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from 878 breast cancer patients from Lund, S
Modern subgraph-finding algorithm implementations consist of thousands of lines of highly optimized code, and this complexity raises questions about their trustworthiness. Recently, some state-of-the-art subgraph solvers have been enhanced to output machine-verifiable proofs that their results are correct. While this significantly improves reliability, it is not a fully satisfactory solution, sinc
The growing demand to lower greenhouse gas emissions and transition from fossil fuels, has put methanol in the spotlight. Methanol can be produced from renewable sources and has the property of burning almost soot-free in compression ignition (CI) engines. Consequently, there has been a notable increase in research and development activities directed towards exploring methanol as a viable substitu
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a drastic expansion in utilizing telemedicine, circumventing some of the geographical barriers to accessing pain care. However, uncertainties around the impact of telemedicine across various sociodemographic groups still exist, prompting further exploration. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of sociodemographic factors in telemedicine utilizat
Most often, the laminar burning velocity (SL) of ammonia was measured in mixtures diluted by nitrogen bearing in mind its potential use as an alternative carbon-free fuel. Replacing the diluent with argon can increase the flame temperature and thus provide additional targets for validating pertinent detailed kinetic models. The SL data for ammonia + oxygen + argon mixtures are scarce; therefore, i
Background: The aim of the study is to evaluate the overall accuracy of the surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) workflow through a comprehensive commissioning and quality assurance procedures and assess the potential benefits of deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) radiotherapy as a cardiac and lung dose reduction approach for left-sided breast cancer irradiation. Materials and methods: Accuracy and
Structural defects in Mg-doped GaN were analyzed using high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy. The defects, in the shape of inverted pyramids, appear at high concentrations of incorporated Mg, which also lead to a reduction in free-hole concentration in Mg doped GaN. Detailed analysis pinpoints the arrangement of atoms in and aroun
Seventy-nine monoclonal antibodies submitted to the ISOBM TD-3 PSA Workshop were tested for their reactivity with recombinant human kallikrein-2 (rhK2). A sandwich immunofluorometric assay using polyclonal antiprostate- specific antigen (PSA) antiserum-coated plates was used to capture rhK2 and subsequently the test antibody. The response of each test antibody was compared with 3 reference antibod
The near zero liquid discharge (NZLD) approach, by recovering water and dissolved valuable salts, is the most attractive clean solution for the valorisation of brines from seawater desalination reverse osmosis (SWD-RO) plants. In this perspective, a key aspect is calcium removal/recovery, to avoid scaling problems in the successive advanced separation units for recovering other valuable salts. In
Large district heating networks often have a complex structure that requires iterative calculations to determine the flow distribution throughout the network. This Master’s thesis describes a piece of software implementing methods and data structures to determine and present the flow distribution and pressure state in such district heating networks. The purpose of the thesis work was to create a t
När en himlakropp med hyperhastighet kolliderar med jorden skapas nedslagskratrar. Nedslags- kratrar ger oss en inblick i hur jordens geologi har blivit påverkad av dessa storskaliga event. När nedslag sker om- vandlas projektilens rörelseenergi till chockvågor som rör sig genom berggrunden och deformerar mineral. Detta fenomen har kommit att kallas för chockmetamorfos. Chockvågen skapar chockm
