Small modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems. Compared to traditional nuclear power plants (NPPs), risks are different and additional actors are involved. The aim of this paper is to analyse key actors’ understanding of emergency preparedness for SMRs in Sweden. Emergency preparedness is an active, continuous and integrated process involving aSmall modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems.

Background: Evidence-based guidelines for assessing pituitary function in children remain limited. Improved understanding of paediatric pituitary diseases may improve clinical management and patient counselling.Aim: This thesis aimed to evaluate diagnostic aspects of paediatric pituitary diseases, focusing on radiological follow-up of pituitary microadenomas and cysts, pituitary refractoriness to

We present a wall-to-wall map of dominant tree species in Swedish forests accompanied by pixel-level uncertainty estimates. The tree species classification is based on spatiotemporal metrics derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data, combined with field observations from the Swedish National Forest Inventory and auxiliary data on geomorphometry and canopy height. We apply an extreme g

This special issue is devoted to empirical studies on inequalities in living standard for different social groups in the past measured as their sensitivity to economic hardship, such as high food prices. The studies are similar in that they all make use of longitudinal microdata constructed from population registers and related sources that record the demographic behavior of individuals and situat

Hemolytic uremic syndromes (HUSs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions, only some of which are mediated by complement (complement-mediated HUS). We report the outcome of the 2023 International Society of Nephrology HUS International Forum where a global panel of experts considered the current state of the art, identified areas of uncertainty, and proposed optimal solutions. Areas of uncertainty

We present new observations from CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) to clarify the architecture of the planetary system hosted by the old Galactic thick disc star TOI-561. Our global analysis, which also includes previously published photometric and radial velocity data, incontrovertibly proves that TOI-561 is hosting at least four transiti

Importance: The ability to predict sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children and adolescents with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is currently inadequate. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is associated with SCD events in adults with HCM. Objective: To examine the prognostic significance of LGE in patients with HCM who are younger than 21 years. De

Economic crimes are – often – abstract crimes. Even for a somewhat well-trained accounting expert, these crimes are ambiguous, hard to detect and difficult to interpret. The abstract character of economic crimes is a problem in need of a solution. The abstractness needs to be reduced in order to make the court case judicially manageable, i.e. possible to work with during the process of trial and l

The lifetimes of low-lying excited states below the 8+ seniority isomer were directly measured using fast timing detectors in the neutron-deficient isotopes 98,100Cd. This experiment was conducted with the DEcay SPECtroscopy (DESPEC) setup at GSI, where the ions of interest were produced via a fragmentation reaction and identified using the FRagment Separator (FRS) before being implanted in the AI

Background: Geant4, a Monte Carlo Simulation Toolkit extensively used in bio-medical physics, is in continuous evolution to include newest research findings to improve its accuracy and to respond to the evolving needs of a very diverse user community. In 2014, the G4-Med benchmarking system was born from the effort of the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group, to benchmark and monitor the e

The principle of patient self-determination is central to contemporary medical ethics. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its implementation in healthcare. This thesis explores, from an ethical perspective, situations in nephrology care that reveal barriers to patient self-determination or where the requirements of the principle are unclear. The thesis includes three published articles a

The Öresund – the strait between eastern Denmark and southwestern Sweden – is an ancient focal point for trade, conflict, and cooperation in Northern Europe. The control of the strait has been of utmost strategic importance in Northern Europe over the centuries, involving several wars between Denmark and Sweden. During the 19th and 20th centuries, a decidedly more peaceful relationship developed

In this chapter, we describe the work involved in developing a pedagogical framework at Lund University (LU). The work was carried out as a project. In our roles as educational developer and project manager for educational activities, we accepted an assignment to create a new framework that values pedagogical expertise.We collaborated with appointment committees, pedagogical units, representatives

This paper reports the observation of top-quark pair production in proton-lead collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed using 165 nb−1 of p+Pb data collected at sNN = 8.16 TeV in 2016. Events are categorised in two analysis channels, consisting of either events with exactly one lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, or events with two

Measurements of jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are performed in Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions with Formula Presented center-of-mass energy, recorded with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These ratios are constructed from double-differential cross-section measurements that are made in bins of jet multiplicity and other observab

Currently, local regulations governing hydrogen installations vary by geographical region and by country, leading to discrepancies in safety and separation distance requirements for similar hydrogen systems. This work carried out in the frame of IEA TCP H2 Task 43 (IEA TCP H2 2022) aims to provide an overview of various methodologies and recommendations established for risk management and conseque
