only using electric-dipole forbidden emission lines, in what we label forbidden-line spectroscopy, we identified several energy levels in cadmium-like tungsten, W26+. The spectrum was recorded at the Shanghai permanentmagnet electron beam ion trap in the visible region. The identifications were supported by large-scale multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations which involved careful inves
The current debate on different models of global democracy has at times pitted proponents of ’statist’, ’cosmopolitan’, and ’pluralistic’ perspectives against each other, each claiming to represent perspectives fulfilling normative criteria for maintaining democratic legitimacy in a wider global and transnational sphere. This paper sets out to act in defence of one of these models in particular, n
The city of Brăila, Romania, has been undergoing a lot of changes in the last two decades, but as the city is shrinking there is a new initiative to change the current paradigm and to reinvent the city. This process starts with the creation of an urban system with the neighboring city of Galați that will attract more funds from a regional and national level. The first steps have been taken in this
The study investigates the underlying factors and motives that led to the planning of collective housing in Sweden, from the 1930s until today. The brand new collective housing KomBo is used as an example to illuminate the current practice for collective housing planning. Through a critical review of various planning related documents and a total of five interviews, the study conclude the followin
In an efficient market, assets reflect all available information. Hence, investors cannot earn abnormal returns by conducting fundamental analysis since all financial data is impounded in the asset. The only way for an investor to earn higher returns is by incurring increased risk. However, a growing body of evidence appears to contradict market efficiency and common notion of risk compensation. P
Popular Abstract in Swedish När vi äter ökar nivån av blodsocker (blodglukos) i blodet. Glukos forslas i blodet till målvävnader, såsom fett och skelettmuskel, där det används som energi. Men för att glukos ska kunna tas upp av målvävnaden krävs insulin. Insulin är ett hormon som produceras av beta-celler i bukspottkörtelns Langerhanska öar, vars sekretion ut i blodet regleras av blodglukos. Då deType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a condition of high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion. Impaired insulin secretion plays a major role in the pathophysiology of T2D, it is mainly attributed to beta cell function i.e. failure to secrete insulin or reduced beta cell mass. The exocytotic process is crucial for beta cell function and its dysregulation leads to impai
The incidence of atherosclerosis is significantly increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Infection is one factor that may be involved in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The cause of RA and atherosclerosis is unknown, and infection is one of the factors that may be involved in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The aims of this study were to identify bacteria in the aortic adventitia of patient
Popular Abstract in Swedish Medan akut smärta ofta kan bemästras på ett framgångsrikt sätt saknas ofta adekvat behandling av kroniska smärttillstånd. Smärta är ett dominerande symptom vid en mängd sjukdomar såsom till exempel, reumatoid artrit, cancer, migrän, ryggskador, fibromyalgi och tillgängliga analgetika är ofta otillräckliga. Det finns därför ett stort behov att utveckla nya och effektiva Introduction: To understand the function of the genes and their products in the pain system, studies will have to deal with complex issues related to intercellular communication, e.g. plasticity in neuronal networks. To provide a basis for such studies, the present thesis compares basic features of the nociceptive spinal systems including the organization of nociceptive withdrawal reflexes (NWR),
Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a

Abstract: Before the introduction of prostate MRI, prostate cancer screening relied on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing followed by a systematic biopsy. Although this approach reduced prostate cancer mortality in large, randomized screening trials, its net benefit was questionable because of substantial overdiagnosis. In response, more precise screening tools have been developed. Diagnostic
A compact planar directional coupled crossover with a wide fractional bandwidth is proposed in this letter, which is composed of overlapping planar 3-dB couplers based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and stripline techniques. In the proposed structure, the TE10 mode and TEM mode can be transmitted simultaneously without any interaction, which is helpful to design and integrate the SIW
Background: Many persons with late effects of polio (LEoP) perceive walking limitations in everyday life. A common rating scale to assess walking limitations is the Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12). However, there is limited knowledge about its psychometric properties. Objective: To investigate the psychometric properties of Walk-12 in persons with LEoP. Design: Rasch model analysis of cross-section
Climate change models predict an increase in the intensity and frequency of drought periods as well as precipitation events. Moisture and its fluctuations have a large impact on soil microorganisms, which are key drivers of the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. When there is a drought period followed by a rainfall event there is a big CO2 release from soil to the atmosphere, which can dominate the C b
Den här avhandlingen har som syfte att bidra till att täcka kunskapsluckor om hur tilläggssvårigheter vid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) hos barn förändras och om dessa har ett samband med hur ADHD-problematiken utvecklas under 3 års tid. ADHD är en utvecklingsrelaterad kognitiv funktionsnedsättning som debuterar hos barn och unga, 12 år eller yngre, genom höga nivåer av ouppmärksClarification on how cognitive, executive and emotional functioning contribute to symptom reduction or improved function in childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is needed to find additional treatment methods. The clinical utility of continuous performance test (CPT) (Conners’ CPT-II, QbTest) to complement rating scales in diagnostic assessments and treatment evaluations (QbTes
Identification of prostate gold fiducial markers in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is challenging when CT images are not available, due to misclassifications from intra-prostatic calcifications. It is also a time consuming task and automated identification methods have been suggested as an improvement for both objectives. Multi-echo gradient echo (MEGRE) images have been utilized for manu
This research aims to develop efficient process technologies that are capable of converting/utilising CO2 streams into energy-rich liquid products (fuels). This would result in better solutions with near-zero-carbon-emissions level. From an energetic and economic point of view, methanol synthesis from CO2 is a competitive alternate to methanol production from biomass. Our work considers the CO2 ba
This paper presents a preliminary method developed for improved decision-support based on probabilistic methods for risk assessment using building performance simulations. The aim of the method is to support the decision-maker in all stages of the building process when deciding on the design of a building by including uncertainties and quantifying; the probability of fulfilling objectives; energy
