We investigate the properties of a Fibonacci quasicrystal (QC) arrangement of a one-dimensional topological superconductor, such as a magnetic atom chain deposited on a superconducting surface. We uncover a general mutually exclusive competition between the QC properties and the topological superconducting phase with Majorana bound states (MBS): there are no MBS inside the QC gaps and the MBS neve
In Sweden, approximately 1,200 individuals die by suicide annually. Inpatient suicide is considered rare, but death by suicide still occurs when admitted to a psychiatric hospital. This study was part of a national retrospective project covering data from all patients' medical records for the 2 years before death by suicide in 2015. In this study, 41 patients who died by suicide while being admitt
This study investigates the excess mortality, both all-cause and due to suicide, among individuals with schizotypal disorder (SD) compared to the general population. Using individual-level data from the Swedish National Patient Register and the Cause of Death Register, we analyzed mortality in 998 patients diagnosed with SD from 2006 to 2017. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and suici
Purpose: To explore the association between marital status and testosterone, and cortisol serum levels in 119 healthy men aged 45 to 60 years representing the general population. Material and Methods: Data on men’s age, waist circumference, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, and marital status were collected. Serum levels of LH, testosterone, and cortisol were also measured. Two groups
Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate the association between serum levels of cortisol and erectile function in healthy men aged 45-60 years.Material and methods: The serum level of cortisol was measured. The international index of erectile function-5 items (IIEF-5) was used to assess the erectile function.Data were gathered on the age of participants, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circum
Abstract in DanishDen afrocaribiske arbejder var en eftertragtet ’vare’ på St. Croix, og bestræbelserne på at udnytte hans arbejdskraft og forme hans væren var mange. I denne artikel kastes lys over et hidtil overset kapitel i kapitalismens historie i Dansk Vestindien: det statslige regime i tiden efter arbejderopstanden ’Fireburn’ (1878).
Increased adoption of PV systems can help to mitigate climate change as it increases the use of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels and thus decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
Background & Aims: Individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of serious infections, but whether this risk varies by histologic disease activity is unclear. Methods: This was a national population-based study of 55,626 individuals diagnosed with IBD in 1990 to 2016 with longitudinal data on ileocolorectal biopsy specimens followed up through 2016. Serious infection
The care of IBD patients aims to achieve the best possible health. The treatment goals in IBD should therefore, in addition to stable control of intestinal inflammation, also consider health-related quality of life (HRQL) and extraintestinal complications. Fatigue is an underrecognized array of symptoms that need more attention and, if possible, treatment. Iron deficiency is very common in IBD pat
Objective In patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) on combination therapy (infliximab and immunosuppressant) and stopping infliximab (cohort from the study of infliximab diSconTinuation in CrOhn’s disease patients in stable Remission on combined therapy with Immunosuppressors (STORI)), the risk of short-term (≤6 months) and mid/long-term relapse (>6 months) was associated with distinct blood protein
De senaste teknologiska framstegen har lett till skapandet av högspecialiserade system inom olika industrier, vilket möjliggör uppgifter som tidigare varit otänkbara. I takt med att den globala efterfrågan på hållbara och effektiva energilösningar ökar, har behovet av innovation inom teknik aldrig varit större. Dessa framsteg representerar transformativa förändringar som omformar hela sektorer. FrRecent technological advancements have led to the creation of highly specialized systems across various industries, enabling tasks that were once beyond imagination. As the global demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions grows, the urgency for innovation in technology has never been greater. These advancements are not simply incremental but represent transformative changes that are re
Respiratory viruses such as Influenza A virus (IAV) pose a significant burden on UK healthcare, especially in winter months. The drivers of the seasonal increase in IAV infection rates include environmental conditions, viral genetic variation, host immunity and human behaviour. This project aims to investigate the impact of environmental conditions on IAV airborne stability, thus improving our und
Warmer temperatures and the combined effects of wind and water erosion leads to serious soil loss. Identifying the contribution of different drivers to wind and water compound erosion can improve soil erosion management in the watershed. Accordingly, we calculated the erosion energy based on energy theory and applied the mutation test and trend analysis to explore environmental drivers, runoff, an
Enzymes, as efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts, have gainedsignificant scientific and industrial attention for their mild operating conditions,high substrate selectivity and reusability when immobilized. Among them, lipasesdominate the global industrial enzyme market, catalyzing various reactions with afocus on substrate specificity and selectivity. This thesis investigates theoptimi
