This paper describes a general picture of efforts to provide women with equal opportunity both on a national political level, and within academia. A report of recent activities within the newly formed National Division for Women in Physics within the Swedish Physical Society is also given
A total of 330 in-patient episodes at the urology ward, with a mean duration of 9.8 days, were registered in a study of 100 patients who died from urological cancer. Twelve patients spent more than two months of their last year of life at the urology ward. As many as 82% of the admittances were on an emergency basis. A total of 101 operations were performed on 84 patients; 47 patients received pal
We report extensive relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations of oscillator strengths and hyperfine structures for a large number of electric dipole transitions in In II. Results for the 5s(21)S(0)-5s5p P-3(0)o hyperfine induced transition are also presented. Core polarization is accounted for by means of explicit CI. To describe spin-polarization effects configuration state
Recently, we and others reported a recurrent t(7;12)(q36;p13) found in myeloid malignancies in children < or =18 months of age and associated with a poor prognosis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies mapped the 12p13 breakpoint to the first intron of ETV6 and narrowed down the region of 7q36 involved. By using the sequences made public recently by the Human Genome Project, two candidate ge
Using the second-order perturbation theory we have calculated the scattering assisted gain spectra in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice under a strong applied electric field in the Wannier-Stark-Ladder (WSL) regime. Nonequilibrium distribution function of quasi-two-dimensional carriers localized in each WSL level and indirect optical transitions between neighboring WSL levels accompanied by the emission or
Climate and weather extremes are sporadically recurring events that may have major local or regional impacts on the society and the environment. These events are typically related to unusually high or low temperature, prolonged dry or wet conditions, heavy precipitation, or extreme winds. Extreme events are part of the overall climate and weather alongside average conditions and variability, and t
Purpose - This study aims at developing a better understanding of the different mechanisms that affect technology collaboration portfolio management. How do firms manage their technology collaboration portfolio? Despite some thoughtful scholars have advanced the understanding of the phenomenon of technology collaboration portfolio, there is not much research that has been done in terms of understa
Objectives: To describe change in functional ability in the oldest-old population during 3 years and examine its relation to life satisfaction (LS). A total of 681 individuals aged 78 and older from the population-based study Good Aging in Skane took part. Methods: Functional ability was assessed using Sonn and Asberg's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale and related to LS assessed by Neugarten
We have used the Monte Carlo technique to investigate the mechanism of scattering-assisted charge transport in semiconductor superlattices under a strong applied electric field in the Wannier-Stark (WS) regime. The distribution function of quasi-two-dimensional carriers localized in each WS level is calculated, and the contributions of different scattering mechanisms to the total scattering probab
C-peptide in the classification of diabetes in children and adolescents. Aim: To report C-peptide results in newly diagnosed patients and the relation to clinical diagnosis of diabetes. Methods: A nation-wide cohort, the Better Diabetes Diagnosis study was used to determine serum C-peptide at diagnosis in 2734 children and adolescents. Clinical data were collected at diagnosis and follow-up. C-pep
The observation that neural grafts can induce dyskinesias has severely hindered the development of a transplantation therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). We addressed the hypothesis that inflammatory responses within and around an intrastriatal graft containing dopamine neurons can trigger dyskinetic behaviors. We subjected rats to unilateral nigrostriatal lesions with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)
Fracture risk in osteoporosis is increased and osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and treatment is expensive. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD), which does not consider other factors such as bone geometry or architecture. 3D-based models can predict risk fracture better than BMD, but they require 3D computed tomography. Solution of the problem is
Under processen före och efter antagandet av Digital Markets Act (DMA) har det uppstått diskussioner om förordningens förhållande till förbudet mot missbruk av dominerande ställning i artikel 102 FEUF. Ett orosmoln är tillämpligheten av principen om ne bis in idem. DMA ska tillämpas utan att det påverkar tillämpningen av artikel 102 FEUF, vilket innebär att ett företag kan omfattas av skyldigheterDuring and after the adoption of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), concerns have been raised regarding the regulation’s relationship with the prohibition on abuse of dominant position in Article 102 TFEU. One possible concern regards the principle of ne bis in idem. The DMA is to be applied without prejudice to Article 102 TFEU. It is thus possible for an undertaking to be subject to obligations impo
The main aim with this master’s thesis was to study the possibilities of detecting an event (rat trap going off) by analyzing audio streams from a MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) microphone or movement patterns from a MEMS accelerometer. To achieve this goal, a small, power efficient and cost efficient embedded system was built with the help of a development board, a MEMS accelerometer, a
Abstract Aim: Today there is a double-sided challenge for the transport sector. First, it needs to adapt and be able to respond to an increasing demand in mobility of goods. Second, pressure is increasing to adopt to low-emission mobility strategies. As the phenomenon of growing environmental awareness is increasing in general in Sweden, this study sets out to investigate if this is something tha
This paper attempts to expose the factors influencing political participation in the Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. To this end, an extensive survey was carried out in three of the five political wards in Kibera. Prior comparative studies of political participation have reached the somewhat simplistic conclusion that poor citizens are a politically inactive group in society. A handf
War and violent conflict have always caused uprooting of families and displacement within and across boarders in search of safer grounds. However, human displacement and the security of refugees continue to be underprioritized matters within practices and theories of international security. This study investigates the insecurities of refugees from the subjugated position of women in one of the wor
This thesis is an ethnographic study of Chinese visitors’ participation in culinary tourism in the Öresund region. It aims to do qualitative research on the consumption of exotic food and the status of cooking with locals’ activity among Chinese tourists and to deliver insights to culinary tourism agencies in terms of attracting Chinese tourists to joining the food-related activities in present an
