Using a combination of surface x-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry at realistic pressures, the CO oxidation reactivity of Rh(111) and Rh(100) model catalysts has been studied in conjunction with the surface structure. The measurements show that the presence of a specific thin surface oxide is crucial for the high activity of the Rh based CO oxidation. As this oxide is readily formed on all Rh
Objective: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of emergency peripartum hysterectomy. Design:Nordic collaborative study. Population605362 deliveries across the five Nordic countries. Methods: We collected data prospectively from patients undergoing emergency peripartum hysterectomy within 7days of delivery from medical birth registers and hospital discharge registers. Control populations cons
We present a detailed experimental and numerical study of the structural and dynamical properties of salt-free lysozyme solutions. In particular, by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data with neutron spin echo (NSE) and rheology experiments, we are able to identify that an arrest transition takes place at intermediate densities, driven by the slowing down of the cluster motion. Using
We report on room-temperature electrical measurements of multibranch junction (MBJ) devices made from a semiconductor heterostructure. We show that the MBJ devices exhibit an interesting electrical property. If the voltage output at one branch is measured as a function of the voltages inputs to all the other branches, the output voltage is determined predominately by the most negative, or the lowe
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a 188 amino acid, 25 kDa protein belonging to the lipocalin protein superfamily. Although predominantly associated with high density lipoprotein, apoM is found in all major lipoprotein classes. To facilitate clinical studies of apoM, we have developed a sandwich ELISA for the measurement of apoM in human plasma. This method has been used to investigate normal apoM variat
We report on a large scale calculation concerning the 5s(2) S-1 and 5s5p P-1,P-3 levels in Sr-88 I, using multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock methods. Our focus is on the P-3(2) meta-stable level, which has been shown to be extremely useful in atom cooling and trapping experiments. The lifetime for this level from our work (1071 s) agrees very well with a previous theoretical value, but not with the ava
We recently reported that differential gene expression and DNA methylation profiles in blood leukocytes of apparently healthy smokers predicts with remarkable efficiency diseases and conditions known to be causally associated with smoking, suggesting that blood-based omic profiling of human populations may be useful for linking environmental exposures to potential health effects. Here we report on
Currently I am studying the realization of two large-scale experimental natural science facilities: The European Spallation Source (ESS) and MAX IV (a synchrotron facility). They are examples of New Big Science (NBS) – facilities where substantial amounts of resources and hopes are tied to making future scientific discoveries. Both facilities will host more than 20 different instruments, catering Feminist technoscience studies (FTS) comprise a major strand of STS. Constituted by a diverse and heterogeneous set of projects and publications, these studies make politicised, impassioned contributions to contemporary critical thought about science, technology and medicine. They are also driven by a powerful desire for justice (see Reardon et al in Catalyst Vol 1 No 1). Building on century-old t
We have all experienced how a telephone conversation can be more challenging than speaking face to face. Understanding the intended meaning of a speaker‘s words requires forming an impression of the current mental state of the speaker, including her beliefs, intentions, and emotional state (Sperber & Wilson, 1995). Facial expressions are an important source of this information. In this study,
År 2025 fick en särskild utredare i uppdrag att analysera hur barnets ställning och stödet till barn i vårdnadsmål kan stärkas. Genom uppsatsens undersökning och analys av den historiska utvecklingen av barns delaktighet i vårdnadstvister under de senaste 100 åren framkommer att det är långt ifrån första gången som denna fråga utreds. Frågan har nämligen utretts ett flertal gånger i statliga offenIn 2025, a special investigator was commissioned to analyze how the position of the child and the support for children in custody cases can be strengthened. Through the thesis’s investigation and analysis of the historical development of children´s participation in custody disputes over the past 100 years, it emerges that this is far from the first time this question has been examined. The issue h
What goes into the development and production of a modern backpack for off- piste skiing? How is a backpack made and what is right now requested on the market? A skiers backpack is a project about making a new off-piste skiing backpack for the Swedish brand Fjällräven. It combines the values of the Swedish brand with my own thoughts about how a product like this should be and function. Th
Människan har interagerat genom att använda sin röst i årtusenden. I mitten av förra seklet började datorer förstå människans röst. På senare år har stora investeringar för röststyrning i hemmet gjort att teknologin börjat nå en bred konsumentmarknad. Användarvärdet för röststyrning i hemmiljö för denna målgrupp är varken välkänt eller väldokumenterat. Användarvärdet är intressant för IKEA för attHumans have interacted using speech for thousands of years. Since the middle of last century, humans have been able to interact with computers using speech. Recent investments in speech recognition have resulted in the technology making its way into the homes of mainstream consumers. However, little is known about the user value of this target group using speech recognition in the home environment
Quantum liquids may carry angular momentum by the formation of vortex states. This is well known for Bose-Einstein condensates in rotating traps, and was even found to occur in quantum dots at strong magnetic fields. Here we consider a two-component quantum liquid, where coreless vortices and interlaced lattices of coreless vortices appear in a very similar way for fermions and bosons with repulsi
The late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century was a turbulent time for the monarchies of Europe, the Swedish included. Since Gustav III’s coup in 1772, the king strove to enhance the royal prerogative. Ceremonies were crucial in the monarchy’s language of power and establishment of legitimacy but oppositional forces within the nobility nevertheless provoked the regicide of Gustav III in 179
The objective of this study is to investigate how the power profiles of residential houses in Sweden may look like in the future. Median power profiles for typical summer and winter days were created using real customer data. The customer group analyzed consists of houses in southern Sweden, SE4, equipped with both solar electricity production (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) with home charging st
This thesis examines the 14 largest listed Swedish real estate companies on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap segment as investment objects between 2006 and 2026. It analyzes their risk and return characteristics, identifies shared traits among the strongest performers, and tests whether an optimized portfolio of real estate shares can outperform both the sector index and the broader market on a ris
Drop-in biofuels from forest by-products such as black liquor can help deliver deep reductions in transport greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels in our vehicle fleet. Black liquor is produced at pulp mills that can increase their pulping capacity by upgrading some of it to drop-in biofuels but this is not well-studied. We evaluate the techno-economic and greenhouse gas performance of
