The main objective of this work is to describe the design and testing of novel cam profiles, which are key for efficiency demonstration on a new class of internal combustion engine (ICE). A recuperated split cycle engine (RSCE) has unique demands for valve lift, duration and phasing when compared to a conventional 4-stroke. In particular, good control of the expander intake valve opening (IVO) app
Rates of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are extremely heterogeneous. Although biomarkers for amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau proteins, the hallmark AD pathologies, have improved pathology-based diagnosis, they explain only 20–40% of the variance in AD-related cognitive impairment (CI). To discover novel biomarkers of CI in AD, we performed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics on 3,397 ind
Vad innebär det för ett barn att växa upp som anhörig i en familj med minoritetsbakgrund? Genom en systemisk utvecklingspsykologisk och rättighetsbaserad analys belyses här både indirekta och direkta konsekvenser av socioekonomiska och strukturella ojämlikheter som hotar dessa barns förutsättningar till välbefinnande och en sund utveckling. Kapitlet lyfter fram hur barns identitet, psykiska hälsa
Currently used methodologies for quality control of residual leukocytes and erythrocytes in leukocyte-depleted plasma are either expensive or time-consuming. It has been proposed that urine dipsticks could be used as a screening method for residual erythrocytes. The aim was, therefore, to evaluate if urine dipsticks could be used to detect residual erythrocytes and also residual leukocytes in leuk
Introduction: Excessive worry is common during adolescence and across a range of psychiatric conditions. There is a growing evidence base for the efficacy of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in reducing the frequency of excessive worrying as a primary outcome in the context of clinical trials of youth with generalized anxiety disorder, and as a secondary outcome in trials of CBT for youth with ob
Background: The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare centralized the surgical care of patients with anorectal malformations from four to two centres in 2018. This retrospective review compares short-term complications after anorectal reconstruction before and after centralization. Methods: Hospital records of all infants in Sweden who underwent reconstruction of an anorectal malformation b
Psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and stress, requires time-efficient assessment tools suited for digital and momentary settings. The Screening Tool for Psychological Distress (STOP-D) is a five-item scale developed for brief mental health screening, but it has not yet been validated in Swedish. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and diagnostic accuracy o
Accurate grading of Oil Palm Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) is pivotal for maximizing agricultural yield, yet manual assessment in unstructured environments remains labor-intensive and subjective. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) offer an automated solution, the conventional strategy of scaling network depth often yields diminishing returns or overfitting on moderately sized datasets. To over
Heterogeneous catalysts based on Single Atom Alloys (SAA) play a significant role in numerous technical processes. The fundamental working principles of these systems, however, remain poorly understood, especially the aspects related to the nanoscopic nature of bimetallic particles and the associated structure-reactivity relationships. In this study, we developed for the first time well-defined SA
Background: Standardized care pathway (SCP) for macrohematuria (patients aged ≥50 years) in Sweden includes four-phase computed tomography urography (CTU) before cystoscopy, but targeted SCP lead time for CTU (6 days)/treatment is fulfilled in <25% of patients. Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the incidence of CTU-diagnosed upper urinary tract (UUT), kidney and bladder tumors, calculi, radiatio
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face unique challenges in integrating advanced digital technologies due to limited resources and organizational constraints. While much attention has been given to large firms' adoption of big data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI), less is known about how SMEs can leverage these tools effectively. This study addresses the research que
This paper presents a lifetime assessment of a marine leisure vessel propulsion and charging architecture comprising Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converters and a threelevel Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter with Boat-To-Grid (B2G) capability. Analytical lifetime models, combined with thermal-electrical simulations and realistic operating profiles, are used to estimate the durability of semiconduct
The rapid expansion of the global microgrid (MG) market requires a sustainable and resilient energy storage solution to manage the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. While conventional battery storage systems are common, they present significant limitations in cost, lifespan, and environmental impact. This paper introduces green hydrogen energy storage (GHES) as a paradigm-shifting a
Time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) data carry spectral information that can be used for petrophysical interpretation. At the same time, TDIP data can be collected in the field more efficiently than frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data, thanks to the use of square-wave signals. However, TDIP field data are prone to noise, particularly strong near industrial installations and urban
This paper presents the characterisation and testing of the first wafer-scale monolithic stitched sensor (MOSS) prototype developed for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade that is to be installed during the LHC Long Shutdown 3 (2026–2030). The MOSS chip design is driven by the truly cylindrical detector geometry that imposes that each layer is built out of two wafer-sized, bent silicon chips. The stitching tec
Background Completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is often recommended for patients with isolated tumour cells (ITCs) or micrometastases in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) or target lymph node (TLN) to assess the definite nodal tumour burden after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The aim of this study was to investigate the upgrade of N stage by cALND in patients with low-volume metastase
