This study proposes a novel design of binders for polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) cutting tool materials. Well-known binder phases TiC and TiN were combined with transitional metal nitrides ZrN, VN, and HfN. Performance screenings of longitudinal turning Inconel 718 and AISI 316 L highlighted the superior performance of PcBN materials with mixed TiC-ZrN and TiC-VN binders. These two sys
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation guideline is to provide clinically useful evidence-basedrecommendations on the management of patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). The guidelines wereprepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the European Stroke Organisation guidelines and accordingto GRADE methodology. ICAD represents a major cause of ischemic
This paper presents an analysis of channel characteristics for an outdoor scenario at the frequency band of 28-30 GHz. A geometry-based clustering algorithm is proposed to group the measured multipath components (MPCs) based on the interaction points on the surrounding walls or objects obtained from Ray Tracing 3-D simulations, which is more physically interpretable than the traditional clustering
The harmonic structure is a recently introduced concept paving the way for engineering metallic materials to achieve excellent mechanical performance. They consist of soft coarse-grained regions (Core) that are three-dimensionally surrounded by a connected network of hard ultra-fine grained regions (Shell). The interaction in these Core–Shell regions produces a synergistic effect, during plastic d
Background: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS), with the ability to provide comprehensive genomic information, have become the focal point of research interest as novel techniques that can support precision diagnostics in routine clinical care of patients with various cancer types, including hematological malignancies. This national multi-center study, led by Ge
The social restrictions during the covid-19 pandemic have challenged many aspects of preschool everyday life. Particularly vulnerable to these restrictions is the aspect of introducing new children to preschool, since preschool introduction constitutes a natural arena for establishment of preschool staff’s relationships with children and their parents. Organizing the preschool introduction to enab
Teaching and learning could be guided by psychological knowledge to a larger extent. The aims of this study were to examine school psychologists’ (N = 117) assessments of how psychological constructs related to learning are being used by teachers in Swedish schools. In addition, we aimed to evaluate school psychologists’ awareness of teachers’ implementation of psychological knowledge. A theoretic
This study explores the relative interest in various mental-health topics among adolescents. The results of this study will be used to develop relevant information material for the age-group and for interested mental-health practitioners as well as teachers. The participating adolescents were between 13-19 (N = 2058) recruited through social media. In the sample 922 participants attended lower secThis study explores the relative interest in various mental-health topics among adolescents.

Advanced personalized immunotherapies still have to overcome several biomedical and technical limitations before they become a routine cancer treatment in spite of recent achievements. In adoptive cell therapy (ACT), the capacity to obtain adequate numbers of therapeutic T cells in the patients following ex vivo treatment should be improved. Moreover, the time and costs to produce these T cells sh
BACKGROUND: Adverse cardiovascular effects are associated with both diesel exhaust and road traffic noise, but these exposures are hard to disentangle epidemiologically. We used an experimental setup to evaluate the impact of diesel exhaust particles and traffic noise, alone and combined, on intermediary outcomes related to the autonomic nervous system and increased cardiovascular risk.METHODS: In
Accurate prediction on the pressurized discharge performance is significant to the safety operation of cryogenic propellant system. In the present study, a two-dimensional numerical model is established to simulate the fuel outflow with high-temperature gas injection. Both the environmental heat invasion and interfacial phase change are detailedly considered. The volume of fluid method is used to
Liquid hydrogen is a promising energy carrier due to its excellent performance. However, liquid hydrogen sloshing usually causes serious issues on its safety production, storage, transportation, application and management. To study fluid sloshing in cryogenic storage tanks, a numerical calculation model is developed with considerations of the environmental heat leakage and phase change occurring a
The history of racial science, as it emerged in Sweden and in other European countries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is a standard research topic today. But notions of race are not only produced in scholarly contexts; they are also generated in the mass media, popular culture, and politics. The history of racialisation cannot only be studied by focusing on academia, in other words. We
BACKGROUND: There is emerging evidence that exposure to prenatal methylmercury (MeHg) from maternal fish consumption during pregnancy can differ between individuals due to genetic variation. In previous studies, we have reported that maternal polymorphisms in ABC-transporter genes were associated with maternal hair MeHg concentrations, and with children's early neurodevelopmental tests. In this st
I de nordiska länderna finns ett antal förvaltningsorgan som på olika sätt är knutna till parlamenten. Hit hör exempelvis Folketingets Ombudsmand(Danmark), Statens revisionsverk (Finland), Ríkisendurskoðun(Riksrevisionen, Island), Stortingets kontrollutvalg for etterretnings-,overvåkings- og sikkerhetstjeneste, EOS-utvalget (Norge) och Valprövningsnämnden (Sverige). Sådana organ kan ses som en avvIn a Western European system based on a traditional separation of powers, public administration is as a rule organised under the Government (or Cabinet), as part of the Executive. In addition to this kind of state authorities, the Nordic countries feature a number of administrative bodies attached to the Parliaments. This category includes Parliamentary Ombudsmen, National Banks, and National Audi
