The two-photon ionization of helium atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses, produced by the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source test accelerator, was investigated at photon energies of 20.3, 21.3, 23.0 and 24.3 eV. The angular distribution of photoelectrons generated by two-photon ionization is obtained using a velocity map imaging spectrometer. The phase-shift differences and
Accurately reconstructing the rate of movement and extent of eolian dunes over thousands of years is a challenging endeavor. In this paper, we refine the methodology for utilizing lakes and bogs downwind of dune fields as precise recorders of past eolian activity. Sediment cores from two Allegan County lakes and one bog associated with dunes were studied to evaluate the importance of the various s
Protein glycosylation has significant effects on the structure and function of proteins. The efficient separation and enrichment of glycoproteins from complex biological samples is one key aspect and represents a major bottleneck of glycoproteome research. In this paper, we have explored pH multimodal hydrophobic interaction chromatography to separate glycosylated from non-glycosylated forms of pr
Purpose: To investigate differences in calculated doses and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) values between different dose algorithms. Methods: Six dose algorithms from four different treatment planning systems were investigated: Eclipse AAA, Oncentra MasterPlan Collapsed Cone and Pencil Beam, Pinnacle Collapsed Cone and XiO Multigrid Superposition, and Fast Fourier Transform Convolut
Background and purpose - Outcome measurement has been shown to improve performance in several fields of healthcare. This understanding has driven a growing interest in value-based healthcare, where value is defined as outcomes achieved per money spent. While low back pain (LBP) constitutes an enormous burden of disease, no universal set of metrics has yet been accepted to measure and compare outco
Discrete Time Markov Chains (DTMCs) and Con- tinuous Time Markov Chains (CTMCs) are often used to model various types of phenomena, such as, for example, the behavior of software products. In that case, Markov chains are widely used to describe possible time-varying behavior of “self-adaptive” software systems, where the transition from one state to another represents alternative choices at the so
Background: Dental caries is unevenly distributed within populations with a higher burden in low socio-economy groups. Several attempts have been made to allocate resources to those that need them the most; there is a need for convenient approaches to population-based monitoring of caries risk over time. The aim of this study was to develop the geo-map concept, addressing time trends in caries ris
Holocene summer temperature reconstructions from northern Europe based on sedimentary pollen records suggest an onset of peak summer warmth around 9,000 years ago. However, pollen-based temperature reconstructions are largely driven by changes in the proportions of tree taxa, and thus the early-Holocene warming signal may be delayed due to the geographical disequilibrium between climate and tree p
The aim of the European Funded Project BRAFO (benefit-risk analysis of foods) project was to develop a framework that allows quantitative comparison of human health risks and benefits of foods based on a common scale of measurement. This publication describes the application of the BRAFO methodology to three different case studies: the formation of acrylamide in potato and cereal based products, t
This paper makes a plea for the construction of a common agenda for higher education and science, technology and innovation (STI) policy research. The public higher education and research sector in all countries is currently in the grip of several challenges arising from increased accountability, internationalization and in some cases dwindling resources. Even as the sector is struggling to come t
Abstract in UndeterminedAn efficient technique is introduced to reduce mutual coupling between two closely spaced PIFAs for MIMO mobile terminals. The proposed mutual coupling reduction method is based on a T-shape slot impedance transformer and can be applied to both single-band and dual-band PIFAs. For the proposed single-band dual PIFAs, the 10 dB impedance bandwidth covers the 2.4 GHz WLAN ban
The use of nonstandardized and inadequately validated outcome measures in atopic eczema trials is a major obstacle to practising evidence-based dermatology. The Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative is an international multiprofessional group dedicated to atopic eczema outcomes research. In June 2011, the HOME initiative conducted a consensus study involving 43 individuals from
The enzymes of the polyamine-biosynthesis pathway have been proposed to be promising drug targets in the treatment of malaria. Spermidine synthase (SpdS; putrescine aminopropyltransferase) catalyzes the transfer of the aminopropyl moiety from decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to putrescine, leading to the formation of spermidine and 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA). In this work, X-ray crystallograp
Rationale and Objectives: To compare the ability of normalized versus non-normalized metabolite ratios to differentiate recurrent brain tumor from radiation injury using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in previously treated patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with previous diagnosis of primary intracranial neoplasm confirmed with biopsy/resection, previously treated with ra
Sammanfattning BAKGRUND. Muskuloskeletala besvär är ett ökande problem i världen, med stora omkostnader som resultat för samhället. Vid muskuloskeletala besvär tenderar människor att söka hjälp i öppenvård. Fysioterapeutisk öppenvårdsbedömning och behandling har visat sig vara ett effektivt och patientsäkert alternativ som första instans för muskuloskeletala besvär, men ställer höga krav på yrkesr
The aim of this study is to get a deeper insight into men’s attitudes and experience regarding their understanding of the sexual harassment or abuse they have endured. The study also aims to understand men’s point of view in using #metoo to share their experience of sexual harassment or abuse. I have conducted four qualitive interviews with men on a virtual site which extends to the LGBT community
In 2020, breast cancer became the most common type of cancer worldwide. While treatment and technology have radically improved, leading to high 5-year survival, the long-term survival of breast cancer is still poor. Gene expression profiling of patients is an important source of information for outcome prediction. The Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network-Breast (SCAN-B) was initiated in 2009 and prov
Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. New hydrological measurement stations have been installed at select locatio
Upphovsmannabegreppet och skyddsramen för verk som genereras av artificiell intelligens (AI) har under de senaste åren varit ett omdebatterat ämne inom den juri-diska sfären. AI har fått en allt större roll i samhället och användningen av AI-system för att skapa kreativa verk har tilltagit. Detta har lett till flera utmaningar inom upphovsrätten, särskilt möjligheten att skydda sådana kulturföremåThe concept of authorship and the protection framework for works generated by artificial intelligence (AI) have been topics of debate within the legal sphere in recent years. AI has played an increasingly significant role in society, and the use of AI systems to create original works has increased. This has led to several challenges in copyright law, particularly the ability to protect such creati
Rättskraftens omfattning i tvistemål har diskuterats löpande i doktrin sedan långt tillbaka. Klart står det att huvudregeln är att en ny talan inte får väckas om samma sak som redan prövats. Denna regel är dock behäftad med ett antal undantag, däribland principen om factum superveniens. Ett factum superveniens är en omständighet som inte kunnat beaktas i den första processen, som förutsatt att denThe scope of res judicata in civil cases has been the subject of discussion for quite some time. The general rule is that new action cannot be brought regarding something that has already been adjudicated. However, this rule is subject to exceptions, one of them being the principle of factum superveniens. A factum superveniens is a circumstance that could not have been considered in the first cour
