This thesis presents advancements in studying exotic nuclei and rare decay modes through particle and γ-ray coincidence spectroscopy. The focus is on two experimental setups. First, complementing Compex Ge-detector modules with anti-Compton shields. Second, enhancing the Gammasphere-Microball setup at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) with pixelated silicon detectors. These upgrades enable deeper
Background: Home care underwent abrupt adaptations to handle the COVID-19 pandemic including an accelerated digitalization. While some research exists regarding the working conditions for home care personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies exist on the effect of everyday technology use in home care during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate how digital technologies, in
Registered- and community health nurses in municipal home care (hereafter referred to as home care nurses) have a demanding job that is special compared to other forms of healthcare. The work is mobile, and care in the field is often carried out in solitude. At the same time, the patients being cared for often have complex care needs, requiring cooperation and interaction.

Background: Real-world data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) are scarce and few studies have analysed the generic HRQoL. Objectives: To assess HRQoL using the generic EQ-5D instrument and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) instrument in PPP compared to plaque psoriasis. Methods: Cross-sectional data from PsoReg, the Swedish National Registry for Sys
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of different Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models for administering Propofol and Remifentanil, two critical agents in anesthesia. Initially, different PK models were introduced: one for Propofol based on the Schnider model and another for Remifentanil using the Minto model. Alternatively, both drugs were modeled using the Eleveld models. The P
n the past two decades, medical anthropology has increasingly turned its attention to the global, including ethnographic fieldwork at global health mega-events and the processes behind global health initiatives. Similar developments have taken place in political and legal anthropology, with researchers looking at United Nations organizations, transnational epistemic communities, and other global s
Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). The FLUXNET-CH4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH4 Community Product v1.0 have provided inval
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane enclosed biological nanoparticles released by cells. In the past two decades, EVs have gained a lot of attention due to their role in numerous biological processes. However, their small nature complicates isolating them from biological fluids with cumbersome techniques, such as ultracentrifugation. Acoustic trapping is a technique that uses ultrasonic stan
INTRODUCTION: 360-degree evaluations are used as an assessment in order to identify strengths and weaknesses of, or as a continuous evaluation for, residents. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality and ratings on 360-degree evaluations among surgical residency applicants. A secondary aim was to describe the personality profile of applicants for a surgical res
The goal of the TEDDY (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young) study is to elucidate factors leading to the initiation of islet autoimmunity (first primary outcome) and those related to progression to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM; second primary outcome). This Review outlines the key findings so far, particularly related to the first primary outcome. The background, history and
Even though it is primarily used in blends with gasoline, neat ethanol is considered an excellent fuel for spark-ignition engines, as demonstrated by its widespread use as a transportation fuel in Brazil. The use of biologically produced alcohols in neat form has the potential to displace larger amounts of fossil fuels, compared to using them solely as oxygenate blend components. Consequently, fur

Genom att studera nätverksbaserademotståndspraktiker som sträcker sig över tid och som finns både online ochoffline, syftar avhandlingen till att utforska hur digital teknologi har präglatqueera motståndskulturer. Målsättningen är att bidra till akademiska debatterom ontologiska och episFrom a multi-sited ethnographic perspective, I analyse the impacts of digital technologies on queer activism in contemporary Turkey with a focus on networked resistance practices such as Pride activism and queer knowledge production at the digital level. By so doing, I aim to explore how queer spaces of resistance and practices of sexual citizenship are (re)articulated within a context of heteropa
