The stability of dispersions containing charged particles may obviously be regulated by salt. In some systems, the effective charge, as measured by the potential some small distance away from the particles, can have a sign opposite to the bare surface charge. If charge reversal takes place, there is typically a salt concentration regime within which colloidal stability increases with added salt. T
Malaria is considered to be one of the most catastrophic health issues in the whole world. Vibrational spectroscopy is a rapid, robust, label-free, inexpensive, highly sensitive, nonperturbative, and nondestructive technique with high diagnostic potential for the early detection of disease agents. In particular, the fingerprinting capability of attenuated total reflection spectroscopy is promising
Aim: Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long-lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from movements of six sea turtle species reveals marine connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location: Global. Methods: We collated telemetry data from 1235 individuals and reviewed the literature to determine ou
The Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a promising technology in the areas of wireless communication, remote sensing and positioning. It consists of a continuous radiating surface located in the proximity of the users, with the capability to communicate by transmission and reception (replacing base stations). Despite its potential, there are numerous challenges from an implementation point of view
Background: Nodal assessment in gallbladder cancer remains challenging, particularly in incidental gallbladder cancer. This understages the number of patients with node-positive disease, resulting in prognostic inaccuracy and insufficient adjuvant treatment. This study aimed to identify risk factors for positive nodes in gallbladder cancer and to compare prognostic discrimination of available noda
The development of treatment resistance remains universal for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, driven by androgen receptor alterations and lineage state transitions. Identifying the evolution of lineage transitions in treatment resistance has been limited by the challenges of collecting serial tissue biopsies on treatment, which can be overcome using blood-based liquid biopsies. Using a n
Recent years have seen a sharply rising interest in the scientific area dedicated to the study of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) research and applications (AI4CBT for brevity). Yet, little is known about how this interest is realized and hence the overall status, prospects, and possible challenges of AI4CBT as a field (e.g. breadth of the field, key
Erythrina alkaloids and their central nervous system effects have been studied for over a century, mainly due to their potent antagonistic actions at β2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In the present work, we report a synthetic approach giving access to a diverse set of Erythrina natural product analogues and present the enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-Cocculine and
With the emergence of autonomous vehicles comes the requirement of adequate and rigorous testing, particularly in critical scenarios that are both challenging and potentially hazardous. Generating synthetic simulation-based critical scenarios for testing autonomous vehicles has therefore received considerable interest, yet it is unclear how such scenarios relate to the actual crash or near-crash s
INTRODUCTION: Biomarkers play a crucial role in understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and treatment effects. However, comparing biomarker measures without standardization and appreciating their magnitude relative to the disease can be challenging. METHODS: To address this issue, we propose the CentiMarker approach, similar to Centiloid, which provides a standardized scale between nor
I en tid präglad av konvergenskultur har en undervisningsdesign baserad på transmedialitet skapats för studenter på ämneslärarprogrammet i svenska för att dels visa på alternativa sätt att analysera dikter, dels visa på alternativa sätt att undervisa i lyrik och lyrikanalys och därigenom vidga den litteraturdidaktiska repertoaren för framtidens ämneslärare. Syftet m
The goal of this article is to propose, through the use of GIS software, an interdisciplinary method to suggest new touristic flows after the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, the aim is to identify those sites of cultural and landscape interest that are little known but with great artistic, cultural, historical and environmental value that could give new vigour to the tourism sector. In the first
The purpose of the Master Thesis is, on one hand, to develop a traction control system, integrating and implementing two controllers in the vehicle, each of them previously designed and tested separately, to test them together to evaluate their performance. On the other hand, to develop accurate and well-performing controllers, the data acquisition needs to be precise so parameters and devices nee
DNA barcodes carry coarse-grained genetic information of DNA sequences taken from a genome. Potential applications include bacteriology, medical diagnosis and taxonomy. However, the current state-of-the-art tools for extracting DNA molecules from cells provide only fragmented pieces of chromosomal DNA. As a consequence, also DNA barcodes are fragmented. This calls for the development of complement
Sweden today is suffering from a housing shortage. Not least among young adults, students in particular. One reason to why the supply of housing is insufficient and unable to meet the demands most likely has to do with the slow construction rate that occured between the years of 2008 and 2012. The slow construction rate combined with an increased demand in proportion to the growing population has
Digital teknik inom beroendevården och användarnas upplevelser av dessa är ett relativt outforskat område och då stigmatisering av substansberoende, i detta fallet alkoholism, utgör ett hinder för individer att både söka hjälp och upprätthålla en nykterhet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken roll det digitala vårdverktyget TripleA fyller i åtta användares liv i relation till deras missb
Myths, religious beliefs, and symbols are crucial components of ethnicity. PKK as a nationalist separatist armed organization- intensively uses them to construct a Kurdish identity which is compatible with its ideology as well as its objectives to mobilize Kurds and to galvanize their support. This thesis seeks to describe how PKK –as a militant organization- has instrumentalised Islamic related t
I uppsatsen studeras de huvudsakliga instrumenten för biologisk mångfald i rättsakterna för EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP). Syftet är att studera hur dessa instrument förhåller sig till de principiella förutsättningar som krävs för att den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskapen ska kunna bevaras. Dessa instrument utvärderas därför utifrån den sjunde av de så kallade Malawiprinciperna.In this thesis the main instruments for sustaining biodiversity in the legal acts of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are studied. The aim is to study how these instruments relate to the basic prerequisites that are needed to protect biodiversity in the arable landscape. The instruments are therefore evaluated based on principle seven of the so-called Malawi Principles. The Malawi Princip
