Climatic feedbacks and ecosystem impacts related to dust in the Arctic include direct radiative forcing (absorption and scattering), indirect radiative forcing (via clouds and cryosphere), semi-direct effects of dust on meteorological parameters, effects on atmospheric chemistry, as well as impacts on terrestrial, marine, freshwater, and cryospheric ecosystems. This review discusses our recent und

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den sydafrikanske författaren J. M. Coetzee, nobelpristagare 2003, är en komplex författare som räknas till en av samtidens största. Han har en unik politisk hållning i sina romaner och vägrar konsekvent att ge några enkla lösningar, istället drar han in läsaren och tvingar henne att bli delaktig i verkens problematik. I denna studie, den första avhandlingen på svenska This dissertation is a study of In the Heart of the Country (1977), Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Age of Iron (1990), Disgrace (1999), Diary of a Bad Year (2007), and Summertime (2009) written by J. M. Coetzee. The aim of the dissertation is to analyze these works of fiction using four postcolonial aspects that function as consistent themes in the novels. The aspects are; the relationship bet

Shrines and Souls provides a multi-layered contextualization of the article on religious liberty in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 18), which was propounded by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It shows how the framers of the Declaration decided to break with some of the conventional ways of framing religious liberty in international law, by foregroundin

Syfte Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) är ett begrepp som används flitigt inom det svenska näringslivet. Forskningen inom ämnet är dock inte lika omfattande och därför anser jag att det finns ett behov att ge diskussionen ett svenskt perspektiv. Syftet med föreliggande arbete är att beskriva CSR med hjälp av kommunikationsvetenskapliga faktorer, för att ge en vidare förståelse av begreppet. F

Background and purpose: Anal squamous cell carcinoma is primarily treated with radiotherapy (RT), but the optimal RT dose for anal tumours of different sizes is not known. The purpose of this study was to identify determinants for local tumour control probability (LTCP). Material and methods: From a large Nordic database 901 patients who received RT for anal cancer between 2000 and 2007 were selec

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major constituent of the tumor microenvironment, although their origin and roles in shaping disease initiation, progression and treatment response remain unclear due to significant heterogeneity. Here, following a negative selection strategy combined with single-cell RNA sequencing of 768 transcriptomes of mesenchymal cells from a genetically engineered m

The field of hybrid human-artificial intelligence (HHAI), although primarily driven by developments in AI, also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Multidisciplinary in nature, it calls for collaboration across various research domains, such as AI, HCI, the cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, and complex systems, to name but a few. This book presents the proceedi

It is generally known that, unlike structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, IDPs, exhibit various structures and conformers, the so-called conformational ensemble, CoE. This study aims to better understand the conformers that make up the IDP ensemble by decomposing the CoE into groups separated by their radius of gyration, Rg. A common approach to studying CoE for IDPs is to use low

This paper presents a detector developed to protect the ESS spallation target. The detector is installed to receive a proton beam that has a peak current of 62.5 mA, an average power of 5 MW, and energy up to 2 GeV. It is designed to detect any part of the proton beam that goes outside a defined aperture, which is deemed as an errant beam condition. This detector is mainly used for machine protect

We address the recognized person-to-person Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) calibration problem and tackle session-dependency through the use of unsupervised canonical polyadic (CP) tensor decomposition. For a motor imagery task, the approach reveals universal structures within EEG data, common between subjects and prominent for a certain task. Further, we develop a novel similarity measure that inc

The Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) is of central importance in warehouse operations. An important research challenge lies in generalizing the SLAP such that it is not tied to certain order-picking methodologies, constraints, or warehouse layouts. We propose the OBP-based SLAP, where the quality of a location assignment is obtained by optimizing an Order Batching Problem (OBP). For the

This paper presents a reconfigurable radio frequency front-end (RFFE) tailored for direct RF sampling receivers operating within Frequency Range 1 (FR-1) of the 5G spectrum. It consists of a balun-LNA, a noise-cancelling, current-reuse, Q-enhanced filter, and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). Fabricated in 22-nm FD-SOI technology, the RFFE covers the entire frequency range from 1.7 to 6.4 GHz w

Background: The longevity for people with intellectual disability (ID) has significantly increased in developed countries during the past decades. Consequently, the incidence of cancer is expected to increase in this group. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prescription of pain medication in older cancer patients with intellectual disability (ID) compared to older patients in the

A new environmental transmission electron microscope has been installed in Lund in order to investigate the growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. We report here on the concepts behind the design of the facility and on details of the operation, and we refer to early results to highlight the new information that can be accessed from in situ studies. The
