Laser-based fabrication of metal-halide perovskite mini-modules has recently been demonstrated using nanosecond (ns) laser pulses. However, it still suffers from high-resistance contacts due to remaining PbI2 residues at the bottom of the absorber-opening P2 scribe line. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the effect of shorter picosecond (ps) laser pulses, and thus lower heat input, on the c
While prior studies have largely addressed corporate social responsibility (CSR) at a macro or institutional level, its importance at the micro or individual level is to date underexplored, especially in the context of developing economies. Further, it is not clear from the studies in the extant literature how the role of females is more important in the context of environmental management as comp
Differential cross-section measurements are presented for the electroweak production of two jets in association with a Z boson. These measurements are sensitive to the vector-boson fusion production mechanism and provide a fundamental test of the gauge structure of the Standard Model. The analysis is performed using proton–proton collision data collected by ATLAS at s=13TeV and with an integrated
The minimization of a functional composed of a nonsmooth and nonadditive regularization term and a combined L1 and L2 data-fidelity term is proposed. It is shown analytically and numerically that the new model has noticeable advantages over popular models in image processing tasks. For the numerical minimization of the new objective, subspace correction methods are introduced which guarantee the c
Direct ground cooling is a method for cooling buildings whereby free cooling is provided by circulating water through borehole heat exchangers (BHEs). Since no refrigeration cooling is involved, supply water temperature to the building's cooling system is dependent mainly on BHE sizing. This study investigates the sizing of BHEs for direct ground cooling systems, with a particular focus on the inf
Denna avhandling utforskar den meta-etiska frågan: Vilka egenskaper krävs av ett normativt kritiskt begrepp så att det både kan (a) härledas från den sociala faktiska verkligheten av gällande normer, praktiker och institutioner i ett givet samhälle och (b) vara utgångpunkt för radikal kritik? Radikal kritik förstås i avhandlingen som en kritik bortom anklagelser om partiskhet gentemot det rådandeThis thesis explores the meta-ethical question: What properties would be required of a normative critical concept in order for it to be (a) derived from the social facticity of prevailing norms, practices and institutions in a given society and (b) still be capable of informing radical critique? This thesis takes radical critique to mean one that escapes all charges of status quo biases and thus t
This case study investigates the potentials, greenhouse gas (GHG), and energy performance of forest residue biofuels produced by new and emerging production technologies, which are commercially implemented in Sweden for heavy transport. The biofuel options included are ethanol (ED 95), hydro-processed vegetable oil (HVO), and liquefied biogas (LBG) produced from logging residues in forestry and sa
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of total endovascular aortic arch repair using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts for aneurysms and chronic dissections.METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data and outcomes of consecutive patients treated by total endovascular aortic arch repair at eight academic centers using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts (William Cook Europe, Bjaeverskov, Denmark) be
BACKGROUND: Peptic gastroduodenal stenosis is a rare but disabling condition causing gastric outlet obstruction. This study aimed to evaluate endoscopic balloon dilation in terms of treatment effectiveness, durability, and identify potential early predictors of unsatisfactory outcomes.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent endoscopic balloon dilation for sympt
In the face of climate change, today’s young people need to balance the challenges of being active and maintaining mental health. This study investigated climate resilience, meaning patterns of climate engagement and mental health among adolescents. Using latent profile analysis, we identified three profiles in a sample of N=603 Swedish adolescents: climate-resilient (17%, active and not impaired)
The exponential rise in atmospheric CO₂ driven by human activities is accelerating climate change and causing ocean acidification (OA). While the effects of elevated CO₂ on a wide range of marine species have been well documented, the implications of OA for bivalve aquaculture have received comparatively little attention. Using a multi-level meta-analytical approach, we evaluated the impacts of tw
The laminar burning velocity (SL) of methane (CH4), the primary constituent of natural gas, is a key combustion property essential for validating combustion kinetic models. The present study focuses on the CH4 SL at the very rich side of flames, where the available experimental data are scarce with highly dispersed measurement conditions, and data projection was carried out to overcome the difficu
Introduction: Suturing is a fundamental component of surgical procedures, wherein training emphasises the significance of gentle tissue handling. The suturing process involves the pressure exerted by the forceps onto the tissue, as well as the medial traction force applied to stabilise the tissue during the needle bite. This study examined the forces involved in tissue handling during suturing, co
Daylight is crucial for the well-being of individuals in indoor environments, providing numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Achieving satisfactory daylight levels can be particularly challenging during adaptive reuse of existing buildings for new purposes. This study determined the feasibility of adapting an office for residential use by assessing interior daylight availability and
The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the large relative transverse momentum (kT) component of jet substructure in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. Enhancement in the yield of such large-kT emissions in head-on Pb-Pb collisions is predicted to arise from partonic scattering with quasiparticles of the quark-gluon plasma. The analysis utilizes
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has made it easier than ever to create chatbots capable of generating human-like responses to user inputs. Moreover, improvements in text-to-speech and speech-to-text make it possible to converse with these systems, not just in text but also through speech. These improvements have led to an increase in chatbot applications across various contexts, such
