We investigate how local distinguishability can restrict global properties of states shared between two parties. We begin exploring how nonlocality becomes limited by local state discrimination and observe a nontrivial tradeoff between Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) violation and success probability of local discrimination. We extend our findings to bounding the maximally entangled state fideli

Aims This post-hoc analysis of the ATHENA trial assessed whether dronedarone (400 mg twice daily) improved cardiovascular outcomes compared with placebo in patients with early atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AF) and cardiovascular comorbidities, based on EAST-AFNET 4 inclusion criteria and outcomesMethods The co-primary outcomes were (i) a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, or hospital

High-risk neuroblastomas exhibit a high degree of intratumoral heterogeneity. Single-cell RNA sequencing has greatly improved our understanding of these tumors, but the method lacks cellular tissue context and spatial information about local signaling dynamics. To address this, we profiled untreated and chemotherapy-treated high-risk neuroblastomas from archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded

Uppsatsen analyserar hur orsakssamband, bevisbörda och beviskrav bör utformas vid svensk implementering av artiklarna 10, 11 och 29 i direktivet om tillbörlig aktsamhet för företag i fråga om hållbarhet (CSDDD). Fokus ligger på miljöskador som uppstår när ett företag eller dess affärspartner underlåter att förebygga eller avsluta miljöskadlig verksamhet i verksamhetskedjan. Genom rättsdogmatisk ocThis thesis examines how causation, burden of proof, and evidentiary standards should be designed in the Swedish implementation of Articles 10, 11 and 29 in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The analysis focuses on environmental harm arising from a company ́s, or its business partners ́ failure to prevent or mitigate environmentally harmful activates within the chain of

Bakgrund: Hjärtstopp sker plötsligt och antalet hjärtstopp på akutmottagningar i Sverige har ökat mellan 2008 och 2023. Sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att utföra återupplivningsförsök framför närstående har visat sig vara ett splittrat ämne och en ny sammanställning av forskning om sjuksköterskors upplevelser behövs. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av närståendes närvaro vid återu

This paper presents a snapshot of a neolithic maritime exchange network centred on the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) site of Tråsättra (circa 2630 to 2470 BCE), located northeast of modern-day Stockholm, Sweden. We used a combination of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MA/ES) and thin section analysis to study and source the clays used to produce 19 potsherds and 39 ce

The English present perfect and simple future tenses are felicitous with the living, but not the dead, as a referent must exist at reference time. In contrast, the simple past is odd with living referents in out-of-the-blue statements, as it requires a specified or implied past reference time. We employed eye-tracking during reading (Experiment 1) and self-paced reading (Experiments 2 and 3) in or

While maximum standard absolute adjectives (such as straight) typically have a precise meaning (e.g., ‘perfectly straight’), they are also regularly used imprecisely (e.g., to mean ‘straight enough’). The current study investigates how contextual expectations of precision and a visual referent’s conceptual distance from an ideal maximum standard influence the processing effort of precise and impre

In this paper, we present an experiment that shows conflicting findings from truth-value judgments and eye-tracking data for testing reference assignment of proper names. We argue that if eye-tracking is a more reliable method than truth-value judgment tasks, then our eye-tracking data provide stronger empirical support for Kripke’s causal-historical theory of reference for proper names. We also a

Two major trends on children's skills to comprehend metaphors have governed the literature on the subject: the literal stage hypothesis vs. the early birds hypothesis (Falkum, 2022). We aim to contribute to this debate by testing children's capability to comprehend novel metaphors ('X is a Y') in Spanish with a child-friendly, picture selection task, while also tracking their gaze. Further, given

Achieving sustainable development goals requires strategically balancing the trade-off between water resource utilization and carbon emissions. It is of particular importance to systematically study the relationships between water conservation and emission reduction (water-carbon relationship) in a water intake system, and to optimize the water intake structure accordingly. This study proposes a m

Wetlands play a critical role in the global water cycle and ecological health. However, understanding and accurately parameterizing water and heat exchanges in these areas is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of wetland surfaces. This study extends the maximum entropy production (MEP) model to simulate wetland evapotranspiration (ET) by integrating NDVI dynamics, water evaporation, and p

Methane (CH4) oxidation in well-drained soils is a key process contributing to the global CH4 sink. Yet, temporal and depth-specific CH4 oxidation is rarely described despite being critical for the surface net CH4 uptake. Here, we linked year-round field observations of CH4 fluxes in well-drained cultivated soils with subsurface CH4 concentrations, laboratory incubations, and process-based modelin

The future role of boreal forests in the global carbon cycle is uncertain given the rapid climate change in high latitudes. At the landscape scale, heterogeneity in stand age and land cover, contributions from terrestrial and aquatic fluxes, and harvest export may create complex carbon cycle-climate interactions. However, the integrated response of the net landscape carbon balance (NLCB) to inter-

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with blood pressure control in a primary healthcare population with hypertension. Materials and methods: We used baseline data from a recent Swedish randomized controlled trial where 400 patients diagnosed with hypertension from 10 primary health care centers were included. The participants underwent blood pressure measurements, blood

BACKGROUND: Prolonged second stage of labor increases the risk of insufficient gas exchange over the placenta to the fetus and risk of birth asphyxia. There are considerable variations in clinical guidelines regarding the recommended duration of pushing during the active second stage of labor. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the total duration of the second stage of labor and its as

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and lethal disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Current IPF therapies slow disease progression but do not stop or reverse it. The (myo)fibroblasts are thought to be the main cellular contributors to excessive extracellular matrix production in IPF. Here we show that fibrotic alveolar type II cells regulate producti
