Under efterkrigstiden skakades Stockholm återkommande av så kallade ungdomsupplopp, som av samtidens makthavare förstods som opolitiska, ja näst intill meningslösa i sin obegriplighet. Samtidigt låter händelserna oss resonera kring förhållandet mellan det offentliga rummet och människors kollektiva aktörskap. Genom att närma sig upploppen utifrån den politiska filosofen Jacques Rancières teorier o

Purpose: To investigate the clinical management and outcome of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer with clinical lymph node involvement, using longitudinal nationwide population-based data. Methods: In the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe), treatment and survival in patients with urinary bladder cancer clinical stage T2–T4 N + M0 diagnosed between 1997 and 2014 was investigate

The voltage-controlled graphene-mediated surface-enhanced Raman scattering (G-SERS) spectroscopy is experimentally developing spectral technology, and which is prosperously applied in the fields of ultra-sensitive spectral analysis, sensor and catalysis. In this review, we introduce the physical principle, fabrication method, and recent applications of voltage-controlled G-SERS. We firstly introdu

The lower Cambrian Lagerstätte of Sirius Passet, Peary Land, North Greenland, is one of the oldest of the Phanerozoic exceptionally preserved biotas. The Lagerstätte evidences the escalation of numbers of new body plans and life modes that formed the basis for a modern, functionally tiered ecosystem. The fauna is dominated by predators, infaunal, benthic and pelagic, and the presence of abundant n

Vilda djur påverkas ständigt av omgivningens temperatur som, tillsammans med ytterligare faktorer, styr många av de mönster och beteenden vi ser hos djur i naturen. Förändringar i temperatur kan till exempel påverka hur populationer och individer rör sig över tid och rum, när de väljer att fortplanta sig samt hur mycket föda som finns att tillgå. För jämnvarma djur, fåglar och däggdjur, som producAnimals constantly need to relate to prevailing environmental conditions and regulate their body temperature accordingly. Body temperature regulation in birds and mammals is inherently linked to energy expenditure and, thus, thermoregulation is a physiological mechanism that could trade-off with other costly processes, with potential long-term fitness consequences. In this thesis, I studied ecolog

The flame dynamics in a novel, ultra-lean non-premixed model gas turbine (GT) burner flame was numerically studied using large eddy simulation (LES) coupled with probability density function (PDF) based on the Euler stochastic field (ESF) method. One non-reacting case and three reacting cases with global equivalence ratio ϕglob=1.0,0.6,0.3 were simulated. Comparison of mean flow fields and OH dist

Microbial responses to Cu pollution as a function of Cu sources (Cu salts and commercial Cu fungicides) were assessed in a soil using basal soil respiration, and bacterial and fungal community growth, as endpoints. The soil was amended with different concentrations (0–32 mmol Cu kg−1) of Cu nitrate, Cu sulfate, Bordeaux mixture and 3 types of Cu oxychloride. Cu salts decreased soil pH, while this

Introduction: MR-safety remains a concern among MR professionals. We aimed to evaluate the extent of MR-related incidents using a national database and a questionnaire among MR professionals and to identify possible predictors for MR-related incidents. Methods: MR-related incidents reported to a national database from 2015 to 2017 were scrutinized. A national online survey focussing on MR safety a

Currently, many research studies are exploring opportunities for the use of novel fuels and of their blends with conventional, i.e. petroleum-based fuels. To pave the way for their acceptance and implementation in the existing energy market, a comprehensive knowledge about their combustion properties is inevitable, among others. Within this context, alcohols, with butanol in particular, are consid

This article presents the methodological requirements for clinical examination and patient-reported outcomes measurements. The assessment of any measurement for clinical research in hand surgery is difficult. A method of measuring a criterion could be 100% reliable but 100% invalid. Bias may be present in our assessment if we do not take into account the methodological requirements related to reli

Historically, treatment based on the availability of clotting factor replacement has resulted in an arcane guideline for the correction of factor deficiencies in people with haemophilia (PwH). While all other disease entities seek to restore function to a normal level, PwH are restricted to factor nadirs still equivalent to mild or moderate disease, resulting in continued risk of bleeding. A new t

Background: Prophylaxis with factor VIII (FVIII) should be individualized based on patient characteristics, including FVIII pharmacokinetics. Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling simplifies pharmacokinetic studies by obviating the need for multiple samples. Objective: The objective of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics and inter-individual variability (IIV) of BAY 94-9027 i

Objectives: We aimed to identify and evaluate: (1) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE (worse or new since baseline)) and the subgroup of severe TEAEs in a placebo-controlled 7-day randomised trial of regular, low-dose, sustained-release oral morphine for chronic breathlessness and (2) clinical characteristics associated with TEAE. Methods: Safety analysis of trial data. Adults with chronic br

The process of protein crystallization from aqueous protein solutions is still insufficiently understood. During macroscopic crystal formation, occurring often on time scales from a few hours to several days, protein dynamics evolves on the molecular level. Here, we present a proof of concept and a framework to observe this evolving diffusive dynamics on the pico- to nanosecond time scale, associa

Aim: To evaluate person-centeredness in nursing homes from the perspective of frail older persons, before and after implementing an educational intervention about palliative care. Design: A crossover design. Methods: Forty-four older persons living in nursing homes were interviewed. A convergent mixed-method was used to analyse data. Results: The older persons expressed feelings of unsafety relate

Conflicts of interests between males and females over reproduction is a universal feature of sexually reproducing organisms and has driven the evolution of intersexual mimicry, mating behaviours and reproductive polymorphisms. Here, we show how temperature drives pre-reproductive selection in a female colour polymorphic insect that is subject to strong sexual conflict. These species have three fem

This paper presents the architecture and the corresponding simulation results for a very low power half-rate extended Hamming (8,4) decoder implemented in analog integrated circuitry. TI’s 65nm low power CMOS design library was used to simulate the complete decoder including an input interface, an analog decoding core and an output interface. The simulated bit error rate (BER) performance of the d

Iron N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have received a great deal of attention recently because of their growing potential as light sensitizers or photocatalysts. We present a sub-ps X-ray spectroscopy study of an FeIINHC complex that identifies and quantifies the states involved in the deactivation cascade after light absorption. Excited molecules relax back to the ground state along two pat
