We present stellar parameters, stellar ages, and detailed elemental abundances for Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, and Ni for 32 solar sibling candidates. Technique of chemical tagging gives us a high probability that four stars might be from the same open cluster. Only one candidate HIP 40317 which has solar metallicity and age could be a solar sibling. We performed simulations of the Sun's birth
Activatable fluorescent probes have been successfully used as molecular tools for biomedical research in the last decades. Fluorescent probes allow the detection of molecular events, providing an extraordinary platform for protein and cellular research. Nevertheless, most of the fluorescent probes reported are susceptible to interferences from endogenous fluorescence (background signal) and limite
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) clusters around three major symptom dimensions: contamination/cleaning, symmetry/ordering, and disturbing thoughts/checking. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) is a self-report questionnaire that provides scores along six theory-based OCD dimensions, but no study has evaluated how well OCI-CV identifies clinically significant sym
Safety, privacy and comfort are elements that need to be improved on Swedish shelters. Since several homeless individuals often share bedrooms, it is not uncommon for them to be exposed to violence, harassment and theft or a generally disturbing environment during their stay. These are all contributing factors to an increased difficulty in getting out of homelessness. Enfold is a flexible w
Molecular imprinting technology is a field where polymer technology is utilised to synthesise high affinity particles, much like antibodies. This project has dealt with the imprinting of the neurotransmitter molecules serotonin and histamine. Serotonin polymers were synthesised using methacrylic acid and acrylamide as functional monomers relying on hydrogen bonding for the imprinting effect. None
Syftet med mitt master projekt i industriell design vid IKDC var att utveckla och uppgradera produkten trygghetslarm. Detta larm skall kunna göra det möjligt för äldre och rörelsehindrade att bo kvar i hemmiljön, med tryggad kontakt till hemtjänsten när olyckan är framme. Bakgrunden till valet av projekt är bland annat personliga skäl, då trygghetslarm varit livsavgörande för några av mina släktin
The road haulage industry is a fundamental part of today’s society. The companies of haulage stand before a challenge, as the environmental and economic sustainability demands are increasing. The automotive industry tries to meet these demands by developing intelligent systems that will decrease the fuel consumption. The two systems, predictive controller and platooning, are two intelligent solut
This thesis compares Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) and Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroscedacity (GARCH) models for three metal commodities. ARMA models have an unconditionally non-random and constant variance, which typically serves well in effectively representing homoscedastic data. The GARCH models feature variable variance that is non-random when conditioning on the past
The geomagnetic dipole moment (GDM) modulates the production rates of cosmogenic radionuclides via the shielding of galactic cosmic rays. Therefore, it is possible to use this linkage to reconstruct past changes in the GDM based on cosmogenic radionuclide records from natural archives such as ice cores. Here we present a GDM reconstruction based on 10Be and 36Cl data from two Greenland ice cores f
AIM: To study the characteristics and outcome among cardiac arrest cases with COVID-19 and differences between the pre-pandemic and the pandemic period in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). METHOD AND RESULTS: We included all patients reported to the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation from 1 January to 20 July 2020. We defined 16 March 2020
This article examines how a firm's willingness to make trade-offs that favour sustainability over commercial goals attenuates the relationship between firm-level sustainability orientation and subsequent performance. The hypothesis development draws on stakeholder theory and the literature on mission and revenue drifts, while the empirical analysis is based on two waves of original survey data on
