A fused coarse-grained model of aromatic ionic liquids 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazoliums tetrafluoroborate ([CnMIM(+)][BF4(-)]) has been constructed. Structural and dynamical properties calculated from our model are compared with experimental data as well as with corresponding results from simulations of other suggested models. Specifically, we adopt a fused-sphere coarse-grained model for cations and
In order to enable a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only workflow in radiotherapy treatment planning, methods are required for generating Hounsfield unit (HU) maps (i.e., synthetic computed tomography, sCT) for dose calculations, directly from MRI. The Statistical Decomposition Algorithm (SDA) is a method for automatically generating sCT images from a single MR image volume, based on automatic t
Clinically relevant weight loss is achievable through lifestyle modification, but unintentional weight regain is common. We investigated whether recently discovered genetic variants affect weight loss and/or weight regain during behavioral intervention. Participants at high-risk of (Diabetes Prevention Program [DPP]; N=917/907 intervention/comparison) or with (Look AHEAD; N=2,014/1,892 interventio
We derive a microscopic expression for the mechanical pressure P in a system of spherical active Brownian particles at density ρ. Our exact result relates P, defined as the force per unit area on a bounding wall, to bulk correlation functions evaluated far away from the wall. It shows that (i) P(ρ) is a state function, independent of the particle-wall interaction; (ii) interactions contribute two
The recent identification of fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) associated with premutations in the FMR1 gene and the possibility of clinical overlap with multiple system atrophy (MSA) has raised important questions, such as whether genetic testing for FXTAS should be performed routinely in MSA and whether positive cases might affect the specificity of current MSA diagnostic crite
PURPOSE: Psychological readiness may play an important role in the return to sport (RTS) process following hip arthroscopy (HA), but there are limited tools for the measurement of this construct. The aim of this study was to modify the Swedish version of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale for use in HA patients and evaluate its psychometric properties.METHO
The origin of eukaryotes is a major open question in evolutionary biology. Multiple hypotheses posit that eukaryotes likely evolved from a syntrophic relationship between an archaeon and an alphaproteobacterium based on H2 exchange. However, there are no strong indications that modern eukaryotic H2 metabolism originated from archaea or alphaproteobacteria. Here, we present evidence for the origin
A workshop entitled "Stem Cells, Cell Therapies and Bioengineering in Lung Biology and Diseases" was hosted by the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, the Alpha-1 Foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. The event was held fr
This thesis examines the EU VAT classification of agentic commerce in relation to goods, with particular focus on the conditions under which deemed supplier treatment may arise. Agentic commerce refers to the use of AI agents to search for, select, and in some configurations complete purchases of goods on behalf of a user through an AI interface. The thesis asks who qualifies as a taxable person,
There is a need for questionnaires that dimensionally assess psychological functioning in adolescents. The short version of the Extended Strengths and Weaknesses Assessment of Normal Behavior (E-SWAN-G) is designed to assess core abilities along continua from severe weaknesses to great strengths. The aim of this study was to conduct an initial psychometric evaluation of the E-SWAN-G short version
Kunskap är en kritisk resurs i dagens företag och komplexiteten ligger i att den är en osynlig tillgång bunden till individer samt att hanteringen av kunskap innebär ett mångfacetterat arbete. Det är mycket som påverkar kunskapshanteringen och det är ledningen som har det övergripande ansvaret för att uppnå en god sådan genom att avsätta resurser samt skapa förutsättningar för god kunskapshanterin
I denna uppsats har vi analyserat vilka utmaningar som finns för retailföretagets chefsförsörjning. Vi har inte kunnat identifiera tidigare forskning som berör just detta. För att besvara vårt syfte har vi därför använt teorier som behandlar retailföretagets arbetskraft, samt teorier som beskriver kompetensförsörjning och chefsförsörjning på ett generellt plan. Vidare har vi tagit hjälp av forskni
>>>SYFTE<<< Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera huruvida föreslagna förändringar, avseende hantering av goodwill, vid en tillämpning av IASB:'s Exposure Draft 3: Busines's Combination's kan bidra till en bättre redovisning i form av en mer tillförlitlig, begriplig, relevant och jämförbar värdering av de studerade företagen's goodwillposter. Vi ämnar även undersöka vilket av de båda
What we generally are lacking within the field of research regarding complaint management is a more niched knowledge about its usability and potential to foster competitive capability within a specific industry. The thesis main objective is the hotel industry and we have found a knowledge gap regarding how service recovery can foster a hotels competitive capability. Our purpose is to describe and
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och analysera hur ett hälsofrämjande ledarskap i serviceorganisationer använder hälsofrämjande verktyg i det dagliga arbetet. Genom en metodologisk fallstudie har vi konkretiserat ett hälsofrämjande vertyg, mindfulness, som ligger till grund för vår studie. Vi har sammanfattningsvis kommit fram till att mindfulness kan fungera som ett hälsofrämjande verktyg so
