Introduction: Persistent pharmaceutical contaminants, such as Platinum cytostatics, commonly used in cancer therapy, have been detected in water bodies at low concentrations. Electrochemical, photochemical and biological treatments for the removal and degradation of these contaminants are expensive and sometimes ineffective. Sorption methods are a viable and more efficient alternative. Objectives:

Purpose: Hyperoxemia is common in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may increase the risk of mortality. However, the effect of hyperoxemia on functional outcome, specifically related to the timing of exposure to hyperoxemia, remains unclear. Methods: The secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management 2 (TTM-2) r

With growing environmental concerns, upcycling has become an important theme in literature and practice. Upcycling can help slow and close resource cycles through product life-extension. Cities offer opportunities for upcycling initiatives and seek to tackle challenges in urban solid waste management by encouraging entrepreneurs to create value from local waste streams in urban resource centres an

Speckle metrology is a powerful optical sensing tool for non-destructive testing (NDT) and advanced surface characterization, enabling ultra-precise measurements of surface deformations and displacements. These capabilities are critical for material analysis and surface assessment in sensing-driven applications. However, traditional correlation methods often struggle to balance resolution and robu

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to disrupt the way businesses and civil society operate, but the large energy usage for training and running AI compute models remains a pressing concern in terms of its sustainability. Analog in-memory computing (AIMC) hardware based on memristor devices is a promising route to significant energy-savings. Among the various memristor technologies, ferroelectric

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

The provision of safe care is complex and difficult to achieve. Awareness of what happens in real time is one of the ways to develop a safe system within a culture of safety. At Great Ormond Street Hospital, we developed and tested a tool specifically designed for patients and families to report harm, with the aim of raising awareness and opportunities for staff to continually improve and provide

Ice nucleating particles (INPs) play a crucial role in initiating ice crystal formation in clouds, influencing the dynamics and optical properties of clouds and their impacts on precipitation and the climate system. Despite their importance, there is limited knowledge about the vertical distribution of INPs. This study focuses on aircraft measurements conducted during spring 2018 above the boreal

Traditional methods for microbial water quality testing take up to two days to produce results, putting humans in contact with this water risk during this period. Flow cytometry, including with online capacity, is a fast and efficient way to profile microbes in water. In this study, Escherichia coli concentrations determined by Colilert18 and flow cytometry profiles from the same water samples wer

Measurements of jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are performed in Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions with Formula Presented center-of-mass energy, recorded with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These ratios are constructed from double-differential cross-section measurements that are made in bins of jet multiplicity and other observab

Background and Aims: In primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), the risk for gallbladder malignancy is increased. Surveillance imaging is used for early diagnosis. The study aims to assess the reliability of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of gallbladder polyps in people with PSC and to define a polyp size as a cut-off at which cholecystectomy is indicated due to th

Machine learning methods have a groundbreaking impact in many application domains, but their application on real robotic platforms is still limited. Despite the many challenges associated with combining machine learning technology with robotics, robot learning remains one of the most promising directions for enhancing the capabilities of robots. When deploying learning-based approaches on real rob

Our thesis aimed to investigate how the Swedish district courts and appellate courts present arguments for visitation rights while safeguarding children's rights in custody cases involving instances of violence. The analysis and concluding discussion focused on three research questions: How do the district courts and appellate courts argue on visitation rights in custody cases involving instan

The building sector uses about 40% of the total global energy use. Sweden aims to reach its new goal to reduce the energy use in their residential sector as well as commercial sector by 20%, which should be reached by year 2020 and 50% by year 2050. To find a solution to this problem European Union (EU) collaborated with IVL (Swedish environmental Research Institute) and LKF (lunds Kommuns Fastigh

Ensuring close control of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as post-translational modifications (PTMs), in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is essential for maintaining function and batch homogeneity in large-scale production. Common PTMs include deamidation, fragmentation, oxidation, charge variants, and glycosylations. This study aimed to evaluate CQA variations and correlate the

To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
