This paper summarizes and elaborates on some new results on the optimal absorption in small spherical suspensions based on electrophoretic (plasmonic) resonances and lossy surrounding media. The main application here is to study the physical limitations for radio frequency absorption in gold nanoparticle (GNP) suspensions and its potential to achieve GNP targeted hyperthermia in cancer therapy. Nu
Purpose: An elevated sense of vocal effort due to increased vocal demand is frequently reported by patients with voice disorders. However, effects of vocal warm-up on self-assessed vocal effort have not been thoroughly examined. A recently developed version of the Borg CR-10 Scale facilitates vocal effort assessments, following different vocal warm-up tasks. Methods: Effects of a short (5 min) voc
The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) and Gentleman Jack (2019–2022) are both television dramas based on the private journals of Anne Lister (1791–1840). The diaries were not only partly written in code but make use of idiosyncratic terms, and the two adaptations deal in different ways with the language used in the diaries. This essay examines the language of Anne Lister’s diaries and com
This study presents a thermodynamically consistent continuum damage model for fiber-based materials that combines elastoplasticity and damage mechanisms to simulate the nonlinear mechanical behavior under in-plane loading. The anisotropic plastic response is characterized by a non-quadratic yield surface composed of six sub-surfaces, providing flexibility in defining plastic properties and accurac
Self-adaptive applications are capable of changing their behavior thousands of times per second to autonomically find a way to accomplish given goals despite working in an unpredictable environment whose conditions can vary continuously. In this work we propose an evolvable system that runs self-adaptive applications on top of a heterogeneous system consisting of a general purpose processor and a
The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. The topics covered include the post-cardiac arrest syndrome, diagnosis of cause of cardiac a
The most common and lethal bacterial pathogens have co-evolved with the host. Pathogens are the aggressors, and the host immune system is responsible for the defence. However, immune responses can also become destructive, and excessive innate immune activation is a major cause of infection-associated morbidity, exemplified by symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are caused, in part,
Just like a living organism, also the project has an anatomy, a life span and a purpose. A project has its given actors, given timeframe and phases, and a given goal. Towards the project’s completion, all these factors must intertwine perfectly, otherwise the project’s success will be challenged. Uncovering how these intricacies are held in place has been the epistemological foundation of this boo
In a UN Security Council meeting (UNSC) on the role of regional organisations and sub-regional arrangements held on 9 March 2015, the UN Secretary-General (UNSG) held that the UN is unable to tackle current security threats on its own. The complexity of these threats requires that it work more closely with regional organisations, including the EU, through improved cooperation and partnerships in s

A new method has been proposed to study the low energy resonances of 8Li(alpha,n)11B at Ecm ≅ 0.5 MeV using dE-E Monolithic Silicon Telescopes (MSTs). Each telescope consists of five ultra-thin ∼1 µm (dE) silicon detector pads on a ∼500 µm (E) silicon detector. Both preliminary experiments and simulations show promising results for identifying the reaction cross-section at the low energy. To assur
In the last few decades, dissatisfaction with the prevailing critical paradigm ¬– what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as early as 1997 dubbed “paranoid” or “suspicious” reading – has grown significantly. This thesis is a survey of three recent works, The Albertine Workout (2014), Unfinished Business: Notes of A Chronic Re-Reader (2020), and A Ghost in the Throat (2020), that emerge from this discontent. Pa
Det föreliggande arbetets övergripande syfte var att undersöka hur grammatiken beskrivs i läromedel i dag och vilka konsekvenser detta kan tänkas få för lärare och elever i Svenska 1 och Svenska 2 på gymnasiet. För att uppnå syftet delades arbetet upp i två separata metoder: Först utfördes en granskning av hur grammatiken beskrivs i olika läromedel, och sedan en intervjustudie där yrkesverksamma sThe present study’s overarching aim was to examine how grammar is described in textbooks today, and what consequences this might have for teachers and students in the courses Swedish 1 and Swedish 2, in upper-secondary education. To accomplish this, the study was divided into two separate methods: First, an examination of how grammar is described in different textbooks was conducted. After that, a
Entrepreneurial passion (EP) has been hailed as a facilitator of venture performance,entrepreneurial skills, and psychological wellbeing. Yet, the concept is underexplored in entrepreneurship research, specifically among entrepreneurship graduates. This thesis aims to understand the influence of EP on the career path of entrepreneurship graduates by studying eight recent graduates from two Scandin
The position of The People’s Republic of China in international relations has developed significantly during the 21st century. In Latin America, growing Chinese engagement has been particularly visible. The purpose of this thesis is to gain better understanding of China’s increasing influence in Latin America over time, examine possible power relations, as well as discuss if the country can be see
Rättsläget när det gäller bedömningen av fackmannens förmågor i europeisk respektive svensk patenträtt har gåtts igenom. Inom den svenska patenträtten finns en förhållandevis svag koppling mellan bedömningen av fackmannens förmågor vid uppfinningshöjdsbedömning och vid ekvivalenstolkning. Genom att använda sig av en fiktiv fackman med liknande förmågor vid alla bedömningspunkter bortfaller behovetThe legal situation concerning the assessment of the skilled person's abilities in European and Swedish patent practice has been investigated. In Swedish patent practice, there is a weak connection between the assessment of the skilled person's abilities in connection to assessment of inventive step and the assessment of equivalence. By using a fictive skilled person having similar abiliti
According to international law, under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (CRSR), refugees have the right to seek asylum in the host country they arrive to. However, there are many democratic states today that view it as their privilege to select which refugees who have the right to enter their territory. In order to do research on this subject I will use Norman Fairclough’s critical
It is a hotly debated issue whether second language (L2) learners can achieve target-like online syntactic processing of relations not instantiated in their first language (L1). The Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH) predicts that L2 learners will not process configurations with structural distance in a target-like online fashion (Clahsen & Felser, 2006 a,b,c), whereas some studies find that t
