The XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams. At its focal plane, the Scattering Experiment Chamber (SEC) offers a large, modular volume capable of hosting diverse internal detector setups. We present an overview of the SEC installation, mechanical layout, and integrated beamThe XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams.

In dense urban housing, particularly at high latitudes, the provision of direct sunlight creates a critical trade-off between its value as a residential amenity and the need to ensure occupant comfort and energy-efficient performance. This study investigates indoor sunlight preferences through a national survey in Sweden, providing updated empirical evidence for residential building design. The fi

Accurate temperature measurement is essential for understanding the combustion behavior of single micron-sized metal particles. Conventional two-color pyrometry typically relies on high-speed cameras to provide temporal resolution, but their high noise and limited dynamic range restrict both accuracy and measurable temperature range. A two-color pyrometry method based on a high-resolution consumer

In situ particle characterization is crucial for experimentally evaluating multiphase flow systems, where digital holography offers unique three-dimensional diagnostics. However, reliable particle localization remains challenging under strong optical noise encountered in practical environments. This study introduces a similarity-driven autofocusing framework that reformulates depth sensing by leve

This anthropological study examines two different hospitality settings in Japan: a café and an airport that have implemented robots in their daily work. Using concepts of staged and unstaged settings, we observed robots and interviewed staff on how workplaces with a staged setting, people going to a robot café, differed from an unstaged setting, an airport, where experiencing robots were not expec

BACKGROUND: Taurine has shown promise as a therapeutic agent for diabetic disorders, and circulating taurine concentration has consistently been lower in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unclear whether higher habitual taurine intake or plasma taurine concentration is associated with a lower risk of developing T2D.OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations of habitual taurine int

Armed conflict profoundly affects women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, yet the pathways through which conflict shapes family planning and abortion uptake and decision-making remain insufficiently understood. This scoping review aimed to identify and map the available evidence on how armed conflict influences women’s use of, access to, and decisions about family planning and abortion

Introduction: High vaccine uptake was crucial in preventing morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed to investigate barriers and drivers of vaccination in Sweden across birth region groups with varying COVID-19 vaccine uptake.Methods: A cross-sectional anonymous survey was distributed non-randomly among individuals born in Sweden and immigrants from Western and non-Wes

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The ARTSCAN 2 randomised controlled trial compares accelerated fractionation (AF) radiotherapy (RT) in a preoperative setting with conventional fractionation (CF) RT postoperatively for oral cavity cancer (OCC). Current results indicate no advantage for preoperative AF RT, thereby reinforcing postoperative CF RT as the "gold standard" of care. This analysis of the trial foc

Background: We investigated whether receipt of personal assistance compensation varied across parental educational levels in Sweden between 2006 and 2020. Methods: We identified individuals aged 1–18 years with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) between 2006 and 2015, and followed them until 2020. Differences in the likelihood of receiving personal assistance and the amount compensated were analyz

Kondens inuti containrar inom sjöfrakt kan skada fuktkänsligt gods, men risken bedöms vanligtvis först efter att förhållandena under transporten är kända, vilket lämnar litet utrymme till förebyggande åtgärder. Detta examensarbete utvecklar ett datadrivet tillvägagångssätt för att kvantifiera risken för kondensexponering utifrån sensordata av temperatur och relativ luftfuktighet, samt undersöker oCondensation within maritime transport containers can damage moisture-sensitive cargo, yet the risk is typically assessed only after conditions during transportation are known, leaving limited opportunity for preventive action. The present study develops a data-driven approach to quantifying condensation-exposure risk from temperature and relative humidity sensor data and evaluates whether that ri

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death accounting for almost a third of all deaths globally. Current prediction models for cardiovascular risk primarily rely on clinical measurements and lifestyle factors. This means that individuals with an underlying genetic predisposition may go undetected until the disease has progressed far enough to cause harm. In this project we investigate th

I detta examensarbete undersöks den praktiska tillämpningen av det allmänna lämplighetsvillkoret i 3 kap. 1 § fastighetsbildningslagen (1970:988) (FBL) avseende bostadsfastigheter med kompletterande ändamål på landsbygden. Lagstiftningen har sedan 1991 möjliggjort bildandet av större bostadsfastigheter som omfattar jord- eller skogsbruksmark för hobbyverksamhet eller mindre näringsverksamhet, i sy

As climate change continues to intensify, young women are among those most affected, particularly in rapidly urbanising cities across the Global South. In Accra, one of West Africa's fastest-warming cities, young women navigate extreme heat daily, yet heat vulnerability research and policy rarely draw on their lived experiences. Accra's Climate Action Plan (CAP) is currently under revision

Sociological courtroom research has previously prioritized legal roles in studies, but my thesis extends this research by shifting attention to court guards. Drawing on dramaturgical sociology and the sociology of emotions, I show how court guards are integrated into the court setting as frontline emotion workers. The thesis asks how court guards manage the emotional, interactional and occupationa
