Background: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is dependent on detailed morphology in diagnostic assessment of interstitial lung diseases. Photon-counting CT (PCCT) enables improved resolution while reducing radiation. Purpose: To compare if the image quality, detailed morphology, and radiation dose in HRCT of the lung improves with PCCT compared to energy-integrated CT (EICT). Material an

In this special session we wish to critique and reimagine the anthropocentric present. In contemporary consumerist society (Schmitt et al., 2022), the global “free market” is presented as the solution to the environmental and climate urgency through pillars like unlimited growth, responsibilized consumers, and not least, the domination of Nature (e.g. Hornborg 2019). There are alternatives, but thIn this special session we wish to critique and reimagine the anthropocentric present.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this work was to explore molecular amino acids (AAs) and related structures of HLA-DQA1-DQB1 that underlie its contribution to the progression from stages 1 or 2 to stage 3 type 1 diabetes.METHODS: Using high-resolution DQA1 and DQB1 genotypes from 1216 participants in the Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 and the Diabetes Prevention Trial, we applied hierarchically orga

Background Elite athletes are role models for young sportspersons regarding social media use. Self-objectification, including self-sexualizing, contributes to body dissatisfaction and body shame, especially in young females. For efficient prevention of self-objectification, knowledge is needed about elite athletes’ self-presentation on social media.Objective To compare social media postings indica

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to provide a contribution to the research body regarding consumer returns, particularly within the online fashion retail industry. A quantitative data analysis approach is chosen and two main methods are used: data study that aims to identify patterns and interesting relationships in the data, and a simulation study that uses real input data to attempt to ide

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out how the PMM system can be used to remain resilient to a change in the environment and so continue to provide appropriate guidance to managers in real time. Methodology: The paper is based on a qualitative research method with primarily an abductive approach to derive insight about a PMM system’s use to remain resilient to a change in the environment.

In order to produce drinking water of high quality, surface water works apply extensive treatment processes. In this study, flow cytometry and heterotrophic plate counting was utilized to study water quality before, during and after treatment in Görvälnverket in Stockholm, Sweden. Samples were collected and analysed throughout the treatment process, mapping the reduction of total and intact cell c

PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. As dioxins are persistent in biota and have lipophilic properties they are seen accumulating in lipid rich fish in the Baltic, one of the affected speci

Klimatförändringarna, energikrisen och en ökande efterfrågan på el har uppmärksammat behovet av en hållbar omställning av energisystemet. Havsbaserad vindkraft spelar en viktig roll i denna omställning och förväntas expandera kraftigt globalt, i EU och i Sverige. Samtidigt möter projekt stort lokalt motstånd. Trots att svenskar generellt visar högt stöd för vindkraft så har en majoritet av de senaClimate change, the energy crisis of 2022-2023, and estimations of future electricity demands have stressed the necessity for a rapid transition of the energy system. Offshore wind energy plays an important role in this transition, and is expected to expand considerably on a global level, in the EU and in Sweden. While Swedes show high support of wind energy, a majority of recent projects have bee

Throughout the 21st century migration has become increasingly politicised in Sweden, a trend that was further intensified by the migration crisis in 2015. This development significantly heightened media attention to migration and positioned it as a central concern among the Swedish public. There has been a significant shift in the political landscape in Europe and Sweden as well, where anti-immigr

Most migratory bird species divide their migration in stages of flight and stopovers. They use these stopovers to refuel the energy reserves needed to face their long migration journeys. These stopovers are an important element to determine the overall migration speed. Time spent on migration and arrival date to the wintering grounds have been demonstrated to have a large effects the following bre

Kolloider är partiklar i storleksordningen nm till μm. De är viktiga i biologiska system, där exempelvis proteiner är en typ av kolloid. Att studera kolloider ger oss därför insikt i hur till exempel proteiner byggs upp och interagerar. I detta fall försökte vi tillverka kolloidala molekyler, alltså kolloider som interagerar med varandra genom ett specifikt antal bindningar i väl definierade positThe ability of thermoresponsive, amine-functionalized microgel particles to take part in microgelmicrogel inter-cross-linking has previously been reported in the literature, in connection to applications such as for example the formation of stimuli-responsive colloidal gels and colloidosomes [1]. This thesis deals with the synthesis of such thermoresponsive, cross-linkable microgels and their subs

Detta examensarbete befinner sig i gränslandet mellan pedagogik och scenproduktion. Studiens frågeställningar undersöker hur förberedelsearbetet och arbetet på scen kan se ut när man ensam skapar och framför musikföreställningar för barn i förskoleåldern. Frågeställningarna i arbetet uppkom i samband med att jag deltog i kursen ”Musik i framtidens förskola” där jag påbörjade arbetet med att ensam This thesis has an interdisciplinary approach in-between pedagogy and stage production. The qualitative study examines artists working alone preparing and performing solo musical theatre for children of preschool age. The thesis questions were formulated while I was attending the course “Musik i framtidens förskola” where I started to work alone creating a music theatre for children. The theoretic

För att de globala utsläppen av CO2 ska minska bör industrier se över sin användning av olja och gas i sina processer och byta det till något som är CO2-neutralt. Om detta ska vara möjligt bör ersättningsbränslet vara förnyelsebart och samtidigt ha liknande förbränningsegenskaper som kan förväntas av olja och gas. Träpulver är ett bränsle som anses ha potential att uppfylla dessa krav. Denna rapTo reduce the global emissions of CO2, industries have to do an overview of their oil and gas usage in their processes and substitute it to something CO2-neutral. To implement this, the new fuel has to be renewable and have similar combustion properties as oil and natural gas. Pulverised wood is a fuel that is believed to fulfill these qualifications. This report is a investigation, based on a l

Introduction: This study evaluated lipid identification using mass spectrometry. Background: Three main modes of acquisition are used in mass spectrometry of lipids; data-independent acquisition (DIA), data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and targeted acquisition. DIA is the most including one, yielding a complete but complex data set, while targeted is the least including one, basing acquisition on

The meaning of an exclusive right is that a trademark owner has the right to prevent a third party from using the owner’s trademark. The exclusive right only applies if there is a trademark use, which means that the necessary requirements “use”, “for goods or services” and “in the course of trade” must be met. Since trademark law only gives examples of which actions can be opposed, the ECJ’s state

Context: The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, vildagliptin, inhibits glucagon secretion at hyperglycemia but appears to enhance glucagon counterregulation during hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes.Objective:The objective of the investigation was to study whether vildagliptin also improves α-cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients and Methods: The study was a single-center, double-blind, ra

Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, little is known about the risk of EAC and ESCC related to other metabolic risk factors. We aimed to examine the risk of EAC and ESCC in relation to metabolic risk factors, separately and combined in a prospective cohort study. Metho
