The high solubility in acidic solutions of N-bis(N',N'-diethyl-2-aminoethyl)-4-aminomethylphenyl-diphenylphosphine (N3P) make it a suitable candidate for study and comparison to the more commonly studied trisulfonated triphenylphosphine (TPPTS) ligand in the palladium catalysed aqueous hydrocarboxylation reaction. The catalyst employing N3P shows an inverted regioselectivity compared to the TPPTS

This thesis studies the American presidential election of 2012 and the phenomena called third party candidates. Third party is a term that refers to all other parties besides the major two in American politics. More specifically the method used is a content analysis and the analyzed material is news articles from 20 American daily newspapers. These third parties rarely get any attention and usuall
This study examined perceived similarity to researchers as a mediator of gender differences in interest in post-graduate academic career. Previous research has shown that male participants are more interested in post-graduate school than female participants. Research has also shown that perceived similarity to students in different academic fields was the best mediator of interest in graduating wi

The essay presents the conditions for the arrangement of adult guardianship and how the conditions are interpreted. It further analyzes the application in Swedish courts of the relevant provisions and whether the app
Background: Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended following cardiac arrest; however, time to target temperature varies in clinical practice. We hypothesised the effects of a target temperature of 33 °C when compared to normothermia would differ based on average time to hypothermia and those patients achieving hypothermia fastest would have more favorable outcomes. Methods: In this p
The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations,
We evaluate pseudo-real-time out-of-sample nowcasts for Swedish GDP employing factor models and mixed-data sampling regressions with single predictor variables. These two model classes can handle the data irregularities of a ragged-edge sample and differing sampling frequencies. The results show that pooling of the nowcasts outperforms a simple benchmark, even though only very few of the underlyinWe evaluate pseudo-real-time out-of-sample nowcasts for Swedish GDP employing factor models and mixed-data sampling regressions with single predictor variables.

Objective: Testicular torsion (TT) is a medical emergency, difficult to identify solely through clinical evaluation. This study aims to develop an assessment algorithm with a safe lower threshold for complementary ultrasound. Material and methods: Males between 1 and 30 years of age assessed for suspected TT during the years 2019 – 2023 were retrospectively included. Clinical assessments were cond
This paper explores the link between income, and wealth inequality and the ecological footprint in France, Netherlands, United States, and United Kingdom from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. Our analysis provides some support for income inequality influencing ecological footprints, specifically through carbon emissions. Yet, we do not
Background: This analysis of the Observational Postmarketing Ulcerative Colitis Study examined incidence rates of colectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis who received originator infliximab (IFX) or conventional therapies (ConvRx) as per their treating physician. Methods: Cox proportional hazards models compared time to colectomy for both treatment groups. A secondary analysis examined colect
In Classical Athens, being at war was more common than peace. The military expenditures were correspondingly large. The main puzzle, however, is not financial, but where the Athenians found the multitude of rowers needed for their ships. It was not until the end of the Peloponnesian War that there were good reasons to use slaves as rowers. The Spartan occupation of Decelea in 413 BCE had profound
Turbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process. Small viscous drops undergo a sequence of oscillations before entering the monotonic deformation phase leading to breakup. The turbulence-interface interactions prior to reaching critical deformation are therefore essential for understanding and modeling breakup. This contribution uses numerical experiments to characterize the criti

Watching the Olympic and Paralympics Games, we notice that both men and women achieve world-class performances. We see the world’s best sports stars perform extraordinary athletic feats, regardless of who they are or where they come from. This equity was not always present at this world stage. For instance, until 1984, women were prohibited from running marathons during the Olympic Games.1 It may
A method for respiratory rate estimation from electrocardiogram (ECG), based on variations in QRS complexes slopes, is evaluated over stress testing recordings. Besides the 12 standard, and the 3 vectorcardiogram (VCG), 2 additional leads derived from the VCG are analyzed. A total of 34 slope series were studied, 2 for each lead: slopes between the peaks of the Q and R waves, and between the peaks

The aim of the study was to describe refractive errors and visual acuity (VA) in a suburban Danish population.Methods: The Inter99 Eye Study comprised 970 subjects aged 30–60 years and included a random control group as well as groups at high risk for ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus.
Enzyme catalysis in water-immiscible organic solvents is strongly influenced by the amount of water present in the reaction mixture. Effects of substitution of part of the water by other polar solvents were studied. In an alcoholysis reaction catalyzed by chymotrypsin deposited on celite, it was possible to exchange half of the water by formamide, ethylene glycol or dimethyl sulfoxide with often i
