Purpose: This study focused on identifying a hereditary predisposition in women previously diagnosed with early-onset breast cancer through a retrospective outreach activity (Traceback). The objectives were to evaluate the possible clinical implementation of a simplified Traceback strategy and to identify carriers of pathogenic variants among previously untested women. Methods: Three hundred and f

U–Pb geochronology of shocked monazite can be used to date hypervelocity impact events. Impact-induced recrystallisation and formation of mechanical twins in monazite have been shown to result in radiogenic Pb loss and thus constrain impact ages. However, little is known about the effect of porosity on the U–Pb system in shocked monazite. Here we investigate monazite in two impact melt rocks from

The growing implementation of sustainable urban infrastructure, utilizing solar energy for heat and power generation, daylighting, and thermal comfort, has intensified the focus on sustainability standards and guidelines. Nevertheless, a noticeable deficiency persists in regulations that specifically address solar energy access and protection, posing a barrier to the diffusion of solar-centric nei

Background: Congestion is associated with poor prognosis in cardiac amyloidosis (CA). The cardio-hepatic interaction and the prognostic impact of secondary liver affection by cardiac congestion in CA are poorly understood and require further characterisation. Methods: Participants of the amyloidosis cohort study AmyKoS at the Interdisciplinary Amyloidosis Centre of Northern Bavaria with proven tra

Finding a wear resistant coating for cemented carbide cutting tools in the machining of difficult to cut Ti alloys is a challenge due to their high strength and chemical reactivity. Tool manufacturers recommend physical vapor deposited (PVD) TixAl1-xN (x = 0.4–0.7), and an extra NbN overlayer has shown promising potential. This study explores wear mechanisms of PVD Ti0.45Al0.55N with and without N

In 1628, the Swedish Royal warship Vasa capsized on her maiden voyage. She was salvaged in 1961 and became the first major object to be treated with polyethyleneglycol, PEG. The extensive conservation treatment lasted for almost 30 years. Today a new problem has risen as sulphuric acid is formed in the wood, causing acid hydrolysis of the cellulose.

To study engagement and learning we developed an asymmetric collaborative version of an existing VR-experience about environmental sustainability, enabling student teams of three, with only one wearing a headset at any time, to collaborate in three different virtual reality subgames. We compared this collaborative version to a non-collaborative version in a between-subjects experimental study (n =

Over the last decades, a body of feminist research (Angkjær Jørgensen & Åsebø 2020-2025, Freeman 2010, Halberstam 2022, Hemmings 2011, Tesfagiorgis 1993) has problematized established stories that chronicle the development of Western feminist movements’ recent past. Drawing from this strain of previous research, this paper is particularly influenced by a number of scholarly works that analyse Over the last decades, a body of feminist research (Angkjær Jørgensen & Åsebø 2020-2025, Freeman 2010, Halberstam 2022, Hemmings 2011, Tesfagiorgis 1993) has problematized established stories that chronicle the development of Western feminist movements’ recent past.

In a seminar room at LUX, one of the buildings of the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, a group of PhD students and senior scholars are in deep concentration in front of their computers. It is pin-drop silent in the room until the alarm goes off and everyone starts moving and talking. This is the writing group, an informal and voluntary way of working together in

This article addresses healing practices performed under the umbrella of mindfulness in order to problematize how mindfulness is presented as a means to enrich a modern lifestyle. The discussion considers mindfulness in a contemporary Swedish context, presenting a range of healing practices. A fundamental question asked is if they represent a religious or spiritual practice or just a technique? Th

Technological and scientific advancements over the past 30-40 years make it possible to fabricate nanometer-sized systems where fluctuations and quantum effects are important features. These systems can be controlled and measured with high accuracy, making them suitable for exploring fundamental aspects of the microscopic world. This thesis makes contributions in this direction, focusing on the th

We validate the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) object of interest TOI-2266.01 (TIC 8348911) as a small transiting planet (most likely a super-Earth) orbiting a faint M5 dwarf (V = 16.54) on a 2.33 d orbit. The validation is based on an approach where multicolour transit light curves are used to robustly estimate the upper limit of the transiting object's radius. Our analysis uses SPO

Charged-particle jet yields have been measured in semicentral Pb–Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision sNN=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. These yields are reported as a function of the jet transverse momentum, and further classified by their angle with respect to the event plane and the event shape, characterized by ellipticity, in an effort to study th
