This thesis investigates core excited electronic states of molecules in gas phase. In particular, the resonanttransitions of ionised molecules, the site-selectivity surrounding Auger-Meitner decay, and the nuclear dynamicsthat may follow core excitation and ionisation.Background: Fundamental understanding of molecules and ions lay the groundwork for all future applicativescience and production. Fo
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Lymphoedema in the arm is a well-known side effect of breast cancer treatment and ranks high among the serious concerns of survivors. Thus, it is important to diagnose arm lymphoedema at an early stage and start conservative treatment when lymphoedema is still minimal or mild, thereby preventing development or deterioration of arm lymphoedema. Scre
Questions: How did α-, β- and γ- plant diversity of coastal dune slack plant communities change over 37 years during a period of significant changes in conservation management practices?. Location: Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve, England. Methods: We surveyed plant communities in dune slacks at Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve at two time points: in 1985 and in 2022. This p
Digital technology has become an integral aspect of contemporary cities, especially with the rise of smart city initiatives. Over the past two decades, researchers and practitioners have studied the potential of large public screens, also known as urban screens, in transforming public spaces and shaping the urban experience. This article contributes to the debate by discussing urban screens in the
We introduce a two-phase quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neuron whose membrane potential evolves according to two alternating Riccati equations within finite bounds. This simple extension removes the unphysical voltage divergence of the standard QIF model while producing realistic spike waveforms. Despite this modification, the system retains an exact low-dimensional description in the thermody
Objective: Psychiatric comorbidity frequently presents in anorexia nervosa (AN). Yet, the premorbid mental health status is rel-atively unknown. The aim of this study was to map out psychiatric morbidity and psychopathology among girls at familial highrisk (FHR) of developing AN, thereby detecting possible underlying vulnerabilities preceding the disease.Method: Twenty-eight daughters of mothers w
Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) can be intensified by delivering 6 (6fx/w) instead of 5 (5fx/w) fractions per week. Randomized trials have demonstrated superiority for 6fx/w in patients treated without concurrent chemotherapy (CRT). This real-world analysis compares 6 vs 5 fx/w in LA-HNSCC all-comers, treated predominan
Introduction: Out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare costs remain prohibitive in low-resource settings, often pushing families into poverty. Universal health coverage (UHC) goals emphasise protecting households from financial hardship due to medical expenses. Objectives: This study examines which socioeconomic and demographic factors predict the amount of free mental healthcare support received by applica
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
Frits Gåvertsson skriver om moralfilosofins relation till idéer om det goda livet och skiftet från frågan 'hur bör jag leva?' till 'vad bör jag göra i en given situation?'.
Hydroxyl radicals (HO•), produced through reactions between H2O2 and iron oxides, drive biogeochemical transformations, mediate organism toxicity, and facilitate advanced oxidation processes. The effectiveness of these processes depends on the spatial proximity between HO• generation and target substrates. Consequently, the oxidation mechanisms should be governed by interfacial interactions among
Motivated by the well established idea that collective wisdom is greater than that of an individual, we propose a novel learning dynamics as a sort of companion to the Abelson model of opinion dynamics. Agents are assumed to make independent guesses about the true state of the world after which they engage in opinion exchange leading to consensus. We investigate the problem of finding the optimal
The brain has a tremendous capacity to adapt (i.e., plasticity) to environmental changes or injury. This capacity decreases with age but is never lost. The goal of sensory relearning is to improve hand function by using the dynamic capacity of the brain with the use of guided plasticity (i.e., plasticity used for a therapeutic purpose). After a peripheral nerve injury, no nerve signals are sent fr
Carefully selecting the source data is crucial to achieve high performance of transfer learning methods for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Especially so in settings where a large amount of source data is available, and finding the optimal source is not computationally feasible. This paper presents a novel method for source selection, the so-called Transfer Performance Predictor (TPP) method. Th
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of argon laser therapy for nonresolving central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in a Saudi patient population. Patients and methods This is a prospective case series study of 20 eyes (20 patients) having nonresolving CSCR. In all of them, no signs of spontaneous improvement were noticed in 3 months. The assessment of the patients, including history
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are considered risk factors for complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). How these risk factors separately or in combination influence the risk of reoperation due to periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or all-cause reoperation is not fully known. We sought to investigate the 2-year risk of reoperation following THA due to osteoarthritis
