The interest in modelling, analysis and optimisation of supply chain structures has increased in the last decade. Among the reasons are globalisation, a general speed-up of the rate of change in the business environment, the trend towards more outsourcing of activities, and the rapid development in IT. This development has caused more and more people to realise the benefits of supply chain managem
The interface between two semiconductors strongly influences the optical and electronic properties of the interface. The type-II interface is characterized by a staggered band alignment, where both valence and conduction band edges in one material are above their counterparts in the other material. A type-II band alignment is formed at the interface between wz and zb segments in homomaterial InP n
In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources, and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved arc
Aim: The extent to which individuals from different breeding populations mix throughout the non-breeding season (i.e. 'migratory connectivity') has important consequences for population dynamics and conservation. Given recent declines of long-distance migrant birds, multipopulation tracking studies are crucial in order to assess the strength of migratory connectivity and to identify key sites en r
Background: Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG; Duodopa®) is used for continuous infusion in advanced Parkinson's disease. To achieve optimal effect, the LCIG dose is individually titrated, traditionally conducted during hospitalization in Sweden. However, dose adjustment depends on surrounding conditions, physical activity, and emotional stress, which is why titration at home could be benefi
Background and purposeDiagnostic information about cell density variations and microscopic tissue anisotropy can be gained from tensor-valued diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These properties of tissue microstructure have the potential to become novel imaging biomarkers for radiotherapy response. However, tensor-valued diffusion encoding is more demanding than conventional encoding, and
Globally, a substantial number of children experience various forms of parental maltreatment. Child protection agencies work to support these children and prevent further abuse or neglect, often through targeted interventions directed at the parents. Previous research has indicated that social workers may approach male and female perpetrators of maltreatment differently once a case is reported. To
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of implementing routine emergency computed tomography (eCT) for all patients presenting with suspected acute renal colic at the emergency department (ED). Material and methods We did a retrospective observational study of all patients who underwent eCT for suspected acute renal colic at the ED in Helsingborg between May 9, 2023 and May
Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (
This thesis consists basically of two parts. They are, however, interrelated by the fact that both parts concerns modelling of catalytic reaction systems and also by the fact that in both parts, spectral methods are used for simulation. The first part describes the numerical treatment of the dispersion model. The model is used to simulate a packed-bed reactor producing formaldehyde from methanol w
Buildings today account for 40% of the world’s primary energy use and 24% of the greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the energy use in buildings is an important measures to reduce energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. In Sweden, there are roughly 2 500 000 dwellings in multifamily houses and single family houses. There is a need to address the energy use within the existing dwellings; esp
INTRODUCTION: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key regulator of calcium metabolism. Parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHrP) contributes to skeletal development through regulation of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation during early bone growth. Both PTH and PTHrP act through the same receptor (PTHR1). A second receptor, PTHR2, has been identified although its function is comparatively unkn
This thesis is devoted to fundamental aspects, and to spectroscopic applications of radiative properties in free atoms and ions, as well as in ions doped into crystals. Using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, measurements of radiative lifetimes for rare earth elements have been performed in neutral Pr, Nd, Tm, and in singly ionized Sm, Er, Nd, Tm, Yb, as well as in doubly io
This study provides an account of the introduction of care choice systems into the provision of home care by Swedish municipalities. Care choice systems in elder care are at the centre of a conflict about the broader principles of the welfare state. Studying them is thus a way of revealing the outlines of this conflict. In this thesis, I show how the introduction of care choice systems changes the
Although climate change and international trade are interdependent, policy-makers often address the two topics separately. This may inhibit progress at the intersection of climate change and trade and could present a serious constraint for global climate action. One key risk is carbon leakage through emission outsourcing, i.e. reductions in emissions in countries with rigorous climate policies bei
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det sägs att ögonen är själens spegel och att man genom att titta på någons ögon kan säga något om personens sinnesstämning och hur personen mår. Forskning kring ögonrörelser har visat att man genom att mäta ögats rörelser kan tolka hur den visuella informationen som vi tar in genom ögonen har behandlats. Eftersom det är hjärnan som styr muskulaturen runt ögat som i sinThis doctoral thesis has signal processing of eye-tracking data as its main theme. An eye-tracker is a tool used for estimation of the point where one is looking. Automatic algorithms for classification of different types of eye movements, so called events, form the basis for relating the eye-tracking data to cognitive processes during, e.g., reading a text or watching a movie. The problems with t
One of the most stress-responsive genes encoding a mitochondrial protein in Arabidopsis (At3g50930) has been annotated as AtBCS1 (cytochrome bc1 synthase 1), but was previously functionally uncharacterised. Here, we show that the protein encoded by At3g50930 is present as a homo-multimeric protein complex on the outer mitochondrial membrane and lacks the BCS1 domain present in yeast and mammalian
