We present new observations from CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) to clarify the architecture of the planetary system hosted by the old Galactic thick disc star TOI-561. Our global analysis, which also includes previously published photometric and radial velocity data, incontrovertibly proves that TOI-561 is hosting at least four transiti
Importance: The ability to predict sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children and adolescents with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is currently inadequate. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is associated with SCD events in adults with HCM. Objective: To examine the prognostic significance of LGE in patients with HCM who are younger than 21 years. De
Economic crimes are – often – abstract crimes. Even for a somewhat well-trained accounting expert, these crimes are ambiguous, hard to detect and difficult to interpret. The abstract character of economic crimes is a problem in need of a solution. The abstractness needs to be reduced in order to make the court case judicially manageable, i.e. possible to work with during the process of trial and l
The lifetimes of low-lying excited states below the 8+ seniority isomer were directly measured using fast timing detectors in the neutron-deficient isotopes 98,100Cd. This experiment was conducted with the DEcay SPECtroscopy (DESPEC) setup at GSI, where the ions of interest were produced via a fragmentation reaction and identified using the FRagment Separator (FRS) before being implanted in the AI
Background: Geant4, a Monte Carlo Simulation Toolkit extensively used in bio-medical physics, is in continuous evolution to include newest research findings to improve its accuracy and to respond to the evolving needs of a very diverse user community. In 2014, the G4-Med benchmarking system was born from the effort of the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group, to benchmark and monitor the e
The principle of patient self-determination is central to contemporary medical ethics. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its implementation in healthcare. This thesis explores, from an ethical perspective, situations in nephrology care that reveal barriers to patient self-determination or where the requirements of the principle are unclear. The thesis includes three published articles a
The Öresund – the strait between eastern Denmark and southwestern Sweden – is an ancient focal point for trade, conflict, and cooperation in Northern Europe. The control of the strait has been of utmost strategic importance in Northern Europe over the centuries, involving several wars between Denmark and Sweden. During the 19th and 20th centuries, a decidedly more peaceful relationship developed
In this chapter, we describe the work involved in developing a pedagogical framework at Lund University (LU). The work was carried out as a project. In our roles as educational developer and project manager for educational activities, we accepted an assignment to create a new framework that values pedagogical expertise.We collaborated with appointment committees, pedagogical units, representatives
This paper reports the observation of top-quark pair production in proton-lead collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed using 165 nb−1 of p+Pb data collected at sNN = 8.16 TeV in 2016. Events are categorised in two analysis channels, consisting of either events with exactly one lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, or events with two
Measurements of jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are performed in Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions with Formula Presented center-of-mass energy, recorded with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These ratios are constructed from double-differential cross-section measurements that are made in bins of jet multiplicity and other observab
Currently, local regulations governing hydrogen installations vary by geographical region and by country, leading to discrepancies in safety and separation distance requirements for similar hydrogen systems. This work carried out in the frame of IEA TCP H2 Task 43 (IEA TCP H2 2022) aims to provide an overview of various methodologies and recommendations established for risk management and conseque
BACKGROUND: Selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), formerly shrunken pore syndrome, an emerging marker of glomerular dysfunction, is associated with worsened prognosis in cardiovascular disease, but its role in kidney failure remains underexplored. Osteopontin (OPN) is associated with worsening kidney function and prognosis in chronic kidney disease.PURPOSE: To explore if increased l
Viruses are the most abundant and genetically diverse entities on Earth, yet the functions and evolution of most viral proteins remain poorly understood. Their rapid evolution often obscures evolutionary relationships, limiting the ability to assign functions using sequence-based methods. Although the conservation of protein fold can reveal deep homologies, viral proteins remain underrepresented i
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Treatment of cancer with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) entails a risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Data on the treatment of immune-related enterocolitis (irEC) in patients with inadequate symptom control after treatment with standard therapy including corticosteroids, infliximab, and vedolizumab are scarce. Based on limited data, recommendations include t
Background: The continuum of care (CoC) for maternal health, which includes ≥4 antenatal care (ANC) visits, delivery assisted by skilled birth attendants, and a postnatal care (PNC) visit within 48 hours of delivery, is a crucial health care package associated with survival and improved health outcomes for children and mothers. In addition, the CoC serves as a platform for delivering messages and
In recent years, international scientific collaboration has become increasingly entangled with geopolitical tensions, especially between China and Western countries. While institutional and policy-level analyses have offered important insights, relatively little is known about how these global dynamics are experienced and navigated by individual researchers within China. Drawing on the analytical
