Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure encryption key generation process to be used by two users in the presence of an eavesdropper. The no-cloning theorem allows the sender "Alice" to securely send qubits with single photons to the receiver "Bob". However, due to real-life imperfections, it is not always possible to have a single-photon source with its properties matching
Sverige upplever just nu en form av revitalisering av näringslivet i de nordliga delarna av landet, de stora fyndigheterna av naturresurser och bil-lig elektricitet är bidragande faktorer till detta. Detta stora intresse av att etablera verksamheter i kombination med den nedåtgående trenden som många kommuner upplever leder till en svår avvägning. Kommunerna ska samtidigt som de främjar ekonomisk Sweden is experiencing an increased demand for its natural resources in the northern part of the country. Combining this with a low cost of electric-ity it comes as no surprise that many municipalities are hoping to renew their economic growth by attracting investors. This is much needed as many municipalities are facing a downward spiral consisting of a low birth-rate combined with an aging popul
Denna uppsats behandlar EU:s nya regler som förändrar kravet på prospekt - ett detaljerat informationsdokument som företag måste publicera när de erbju-der aktier till allmänheten eller noterar dem på en marknadsplats. Prospektet skyddar investerare genom att ge klar information om företaget, aktierna och riskerna, så att de kan fatta välgrundade beslut. Uppsatsen fokuserar på "tröskelvärdet&This essay discusses how the EU's new regulations change the requirement for prospectus - a detailed information document that companies must publish when offering shares to the public or listing them on a marketplace. The prospectus protects investors by providing clear information about the company, the shares, and the risks, enabling them to make well-informed investments. The essay focuses
Background and Objectives: Volunteering is characterised by an obligation-free action that occurs typically in an organisational setting. Its goals are to improve the health and well-being of others. Volunteering has the possibility of increasing both mental and physical health of volunteers. Values are the guiding motivators to applying for volunteering activities. The thesis aimed to understand
This research examines the impact of digitalization on Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) and its broader influence on supply chain performance. By adopting digital technologies, companies can streamline decision-making processes, reduce manual efforts, and enhance operational efficiency. The study aims to address the insufficient understanding of how the integration of digital technologies
This thesis is partly about the phenomenon of how sound can be perceived differently in a comparison between the perceived sound and the experience of the sound, but also about the importance of ear training generally for music making. In a similar way we use language to think, musicians can think the music silently in advance. In English, the term audiation has been used to describe this phenomen
Silk fibers offer untapped internal structures to template the formation of nano-objects and active coatings. So far, access to all or part of the internal and organized structures has been a significant challenge. The aim of the thesis is, therefore, to identify and exploit silk templating ability to create value-added multifunctional hybrid materials with enhanced conductive and catalytic proper
This thesis explores the positioning of internal crisis communication in relation to external communication, specifically within the context of governmental crisis response. Guided by the case of the Lebanon crisis in 2024, this study investigates how crisis experts from a European Ministry of Foreign Affairs interpret internal communication across the three phases of crises, drawing on the Rhetor
Measurements of the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into a bb¯ pair and produced in association with a W or Z boson decaying into leptons, using proton–proton collision data collected between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS detector, are presented. The measurements use collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13Te, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
The CKD-EPI creatinine-based estimation equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be used in children, overestimates GFR in young adults, and its combination with the KDIGO recommended pediatric CKiD (Schwartz bedside) equation causes implausible increases in estimated GFR when switching from pediatric to adult care. By establishing sex-specific creatinine growth curves for children and
We characterised patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with poor prognosis based on differences in immune infiltration. Different expressions of the tumour cell markers Cyclin D1 and sex-determining region Y-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11), and the immune markers cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), CD4, CD8, CD25, forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3), T-box transcription factor TBX21 (T-bet), pr
33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi
OBJECTIVES: To describe clinical characteristics and prognosis related to heart failure (HF) phenotypes in a community-based population by applying a novel algorithm to obtain ejection fractions (EF) from electronic medical records. DESIGN: Retrospective population-based cohort study. SETTING: Data were collected for all patients with HF in Southwest Sweden. The region consists of three acute care
The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ
Objective: To evaluate the safety, adherence, and efficacy of self-administered balance and resistance exercise using the Borg scale in patients with chronic kidney disease, and to examine relationships between exercise intensity or duration and baseline measures, and relationships between change in physical performance and baseline measures, intensity, or duration. Design: Post-hoc analysis of a
Objectives: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is associated with a poor prognosis and a lack of specific treatment options. The dysregulation of activin A (ActA) has been reported in various malignancies. Herein, we investigated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of ActA in LUSC. Materials and methods: ActA concentrations were measured using ELISA in plasma samples of 128 LUSC patients (
En ökande användning av ammonium genom samhälls- och industriell utveckling hotar utvatten runt om i världen. För att skydda det akvatiska ekosystemet och dricksvattenresurserna kan ammonium avlägsnas med biologisk behandling vid avloppsreningsverk. Utvecklingen av avloppsreningsverk under det senaste århundradet syftar till att implementera lösningar som är kostnads- och energieffektiva, har en lAn increasing usage of ammonium through societal and industrial development is threatening the water bodies around the world. To protect the aquatic ecosystem and drinking water resources, ammonium can be removed with biological treatment at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The development of WWTPs in the last century is aiming to implement solutions, which are cost and energy efficient, have a
Lagen (1988:609) om målsägandebiträde, vilken medger en rätt till biträde för brottsoffer som utsatts för särskilt allvarlig brottslighet, har varit en central lagstiftning för att stärka brottsoffrets intressen i rättsprocessen. Till följd av en lagreform som genomfördes år 2018 har dock rätten begränsats i högre rätt. Detta har i sin tur mötts av omfattande kritik med hänsyn till brottsoffrens iThe Act (1988:609) on Counsel for Injured Parties, which grants the right to counsel for victims of particularly serious crimes, has been a significant piece of legislation for strengthening the interests and rights of crime victims within the legal process. However, a legal reform enacted in 2018 has limited this right in higher courts. This has been met with extensive criticism concerning the in
