The first aim of this project is to make high-order harmonic (HHG) setups more compact and user-friendly, by including a micro-channel plate (MCP). Simulations of the transmission properties of an MCP has been performed. These simulations displayed introduced structure in the far field, but a very well behaved beam in the near field. Further, the wavefront of the zeroth order diffraction spot of M
This study compares the performance of different models used to assess the local wind near-surface conditions at an agricultural site in Scania, southern Sweden. The methods are: (a) the WASP model (Wind Analysis and Application Program), (b) separate linear regressions of the two wind vector components, (c) a regression model based on vector correlation, and (d) linear regression of scalar wind.
This paper is an attempt to understand how people, in the daily practice of interacting with material culture, created, dealt with and interpreted complex and socially stressful historical processes. A 16th-century timber-framed burgher house, the Reformation and industrialization are the focus of attention. Today the house stands in a museum of cultural history in the south Scandinavian town of L
Background and Objective: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting more than 3 million people in Europe. This paper reviews the published evidence regarding the cost effectiveness of second-generation antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Methods: A systematic literature search was performed, using the databases Academic Search Complete, Econlit, EMBASE and MEDLINE. Health econom
Existing knowledge of genetic variants affecting risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is largely based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of common SNPs. Leveraging phased haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes Project, we report a GWAS meta-analysis of similar to 185,000 CAD cases and controls, interrogating 6.7 million common (minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05) and 2.7 million low-fre
Background: Previous studies on domestic violence in Indonesia have focused primarily on women's experiences and little research has been undertaken to understand men's views on domestic violence or their involvement in the prevention of domestic violence. This study aimed to explore men's views on masculinity and the use of violence within marriage, in order to gain knowledge on how to involve me
For a level scheme investigation of Gd-142 an experiment with the gamma -spectrometer EUROBALLIII has been carried out and lifetimes have been measured with EUROBALL IV using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The high-spin states have been populated in these experiments by means of the(99)Ru(Ti-48, 2p3n) reaction at a beam energy of 240MeV and the Sn-114(S-32, 2p2n) reaction at 160MeV, respect
Background. For Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the International Prognostic Index is the major tool for prognostication and considers an age above 60 years as a risk factor. However, there are several indications that increasing age is associated with more biological complexity, resulting in differences in DLBCL biology depending on age. Methods. We conducted a registry-based retrospective
Title: Consequences of the implementation of the Loading Ledge Authors: André Jonsson and Björn Mathiasen. Supervisors: Daniel Hellström - Division of Packaging Logistics, LTH. Mazen Saghir - Division of Packaging Logistics, LTH. Rickard Andersson - IKEA. Peter Larsson ? IKEA. Tobias Rasmusson ? IKEA. Objective: To write a descriptive and evaluative master thesis about the consequences of t
As a growing problem in the world, negative emotions caused by awareness of environmental and climate changes are seen as one of the biggest mental health crises of our generation. This study examines young women's relationship to eco-emotions through a thematic analysis to improve understanding of how this group can be affected by these emotions and how they can live with them. Women and youn
This thesis examines how regulatory frameworks and material standards influence the design of fire safety in military submarines, using the A26 submarine programme as a case study. Although military naval regulations exist, they frequently rely on civilian standards, particularly the IMO FTP Code, which limits the ability to justify materials that may be more suitable for submarine environments. T
There is a circularity problem in Scanlon’s account of promises. Some suggest that this problem can be resolved by incorporating aspects of a social practice view on promises into Scanlon’s framework. I argue that Scanlon’s account can be saved from the circularity problem without relying on this social practice view.
As set out in the Treaty of Lisbon from 2009, Member States’ national parliaments are encouraged to contribute actively to the functioning of the European Union. A consequence of an increased parliamentary engagement in EU affairs, is the Europeanisation of national parliaments. While literature on this phenomena is growing, less has been said about how the administration supporting parliamentary
The newly adopted Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) necessitates companies operating on the internal market of the Eu-ropean Union to incorporate a risk-management regime to account for their businesses’ effects on, inter alia, human rights. To the backdrop of an increasing fragmentation of laws on the internal market, CSDDD introduces obligations for companies to identif
Intrafractional prostate motion during external beam radiotherapy of prostate tumors has been reported as a limiting factor in accurate treatment delivery. Technology for real-time image-guided radiotherapy has been introduced for tracking and for compensating prostate motion during treatment and could allow for reduced target margins. This project investigated the geometrical accuracy of Radixact
As the frequency of natural disasters increases, marked by hotter summers and abnormal ecological changes, climate issues have become impossible to ignore. People are taking to the streets, not only demanding greater awareness but also pushing for meaningful policy changes. This research investigates the relationship between protest events and policymaking within the EU between July 2018 and Decem
In November 2015, during the height of the ‘[European] refugee crisis’, Sweden repositioned itself among the EU member states through its introduction of a swiftly drafted immigration law, the Temporary Alien’s Act. Met with concern, criticism and enthusiasm alike, the Temporary Act marked a distinct shift from the country’s previous immigration legislation, characterized by generous family reunif
