Based on energy conservation, an optical theorem is constructed for a slab having an arbitrary periodic microstructure in a plane. A sum rule for low pass structures is derived using analytic properties of Herglotz functions based on causality and passivity. The sum rule relates the total cross section to the static polarizability per unit cell, and quantifies the interaction between the slab and

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films with a variety of microstructures were deposited using a large area conventional DC magnetron sputtering system for flat panel displays manufacturing. Highly uniform ITO films with an average thickness of ∼100 ± 3 nm on the ∼0.6 m2 substrate area were obtained. Film structures with small amounts of crystalline sites were produced by room temperature deposition, an

The genetic cause of late-onset focal and segmental dystonia remains unknown in most individuals. Recently, mutations in Thanatos-associated protein domain containing, apoptosis associated protein 1 (THAP1) have been described in DYT6 dystonia and associated with some cases of familial and sporadic late-onset dystonia in Caucasians. We are not aware of any previous descriptions of familial dystoni

The applicability of the Weibull distribution to model the strength of glass, the existence of a size effect on the strength and the need for a non-destructive testing of the strength are discussed and reviewed. There are a growing number of studies that put into question the applicability of the Weibull distribution to model annealed glass fracture data. A recent study indicates that the breakage

Objectives Examine the direction and causality of the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and serum testosterone. Design Bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis on prospective cohorts. Setting Five cohorts from Denmark, Germany and Sweden (Inte

Objective: To study whether locally administered recombinant inactivated human coagulation factor VIIa (FFR-rFVIIa) would reduce the thrombus formation and improve patency in an experimental venous thrombosis model without inducing systematic changes in the coagulation. Design: Experimental double-dummy randomised study. Materials: In 20 healthy New Zealand White rabbits both juguIar veins were ex

Background/Aim: Streptococci cause approximately 10% of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of patients with streptococcal PJIs and to describe the treatment and outcome of streptococcal PJIs in Skåne county between 2011 and 2015. Methods: Patients with streptococcal PJIs with positive cultures or PCRs on samples from joint aspirate and/or

Objective: The incidence of urinary bladder cancer (UBC) has increased in Sweden despite decreased smoking, indicating that other factors might be associated. The increased use of statin medication for elevated blood lipids might be one such influencing factor. The aim of the present study was to assess whether statins are afflicted with an increased incidence of UBC. Material and methods: Data fr

Xylan has a main chain consisting of β-1,4-linked xylose residues with diverse substituents. Endoxylanases cleave the xylan chain at cleavage sites determined by the substitution pattern and thus give different oligosaccharide product patterns. Most known endoxylanases belong to glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 10 and 11. These enzymes work well on unsubstituted xylan but accept substituents in c

This work addresses the assessment of ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) for the treatment of a bleaching plant effluent (BPE) from aPortuguese sulphite pulp mill (Caima-Indústria de Celulose,S.A.) with the two-fold objective of water consumption minimization and by-products valorization. This is to be achieved through the recycling of UF/NF permeates as process water and the concentrati

Sverige är sedan 1971 ansluten till FN-konventionen om avskaffande av alla former av rasdiskriminering. Konventionen tillkom som en reaktion mot rasdiskriminerande förtryck i form av apartheid och kolonialism. Varje konventionsstat är enligt konventionens art. 4(b) skyldig att olagligförklara och förbjuda organisationer som främjar och uppmanar till rasdiskriminering. Trots upprepad kritik från In 1971, Sweden ratified the United Nations convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination. It was established as a reaction to racial oppression, such as apartheid and colonialism. All state parties are, under article 4, obliged to prohibit and criminalise organisations who in any way promote or encourage racial discrimination. Sweden has, in spite of criticism from the conve

Hedersrelaterade våldsbrott är något som förekommer även i Sverige. Vi har dock ingen lagstiftning i Sverige som reglerar dessa brott. Begås ett våldsbrott där motivet varit hedersrelaterat, döms gärningsmännen i enlighet med de övriga våldsbrotten som regleras i 3 och 4 kap brottsbalken. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad bristen på lagreglering avseende de hedersrelaterade våldsbrotteHonor-related violence is something that also occurs in Sweden. However we have no legislation in Sweden that regulate these offenses. Committing a violent crime where the subject was honor-related, convicted offenders in accordance with the other violent crimes governed by Chapters 3 and 4 Penal Code. The purpose of this work is to investigate the lack of statutory regulation concerning the honor

Synergieffekter med ett avrinningsområdesperspektiv vid utformning av klimatstrategier Klimatförändringen ställer krav på naturmarken vi har i Sverige i form av utsläppsminskning, kolinlagring och klimatanpassning. Då avrinningen kan öka eller minska beroende på markanvändning är det viktigt med ett avrinningsområdets perspektiv vid utformningen av klimatstrategier. Det är särskilt angeläget då öClimate change places pressure on rural land in terms of carbon sequestration, biomass for substitution and adaptation of crops. Land use can both positively and negatively influence the runoff regime, therefor a catchment perspective is important when developing climate strategies. This is also important with respect to flood-risk that will increase with climate change. Here I investigate if ther

Den svenska företagsbeskattningen baseras på att varje enskilt företag är ett självständigt skattskyldigt subjekt. Däremot finns vissa möjligheter att beakta flera företags resultat av näringsverksamhet när dessa ingår i en koncern. Ett alternativ som har ställts upp är de skatterättsliga koncernbidragen. Då koncernbidragsreglerna aktualiseras och en värdeöverföring har skett mellan två företag inSwedish corporate taxation is based on the fact that each individual company is an independently taxable subject. On the other hand, in some circumstances it is possible to take into account several companies' income of economic activities, when these are part of a corporate group. One option available is the group contribution. If the rules concerning group contributions are applicable and a

Over 30 % of all deaths worldwide are related to cardiovascular diseases and they are the leading cause of death. Therefore, research into treatment, diagnosis and prognostication of these diseases are of critical importance. One way to examine the cardiovascular system is through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The aim of this thesis is to create a model using the Deep Learning arc

Klimatförändringen är en realitet som våra kritiska infrastrukturer måste anpassa sig till för att stå emot framtida hot. En analys av fem infrastrukturer – elnät, ICT, järnväg, fjärrvärme samt vatten och avlopp – visar stora skillnader i klimatanpassningsarbetet. Järnvägen har kommit längst, medan fjärrvärmen har störst behov av utveckling. Det övergripande största problemet är bristande samarbetClimate change is a reality, with no indication of slowing down or reversing. Climate change causes extreme weather to occur more intensely and frequently. This poses a significant threat to critical infrastructures, which must adapt to withstand the new conditions they are increasingly exposed to. Climate change adaptation are measures which have the purpose to lessen the negative effects of clim

I uppsatsen behandlas domstolars bedömning av orsakssambandet mellan hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalsstraffrättsliga oaktsamhet och patienters skador eller död. Vårdpersonal är inte undantagna det straffansvar som följer av brottsbalken. Det är dock ovanligt att åtal väcks mot personal inom hälso- och sjukvården och det är ännu mer ovanligt med fällande domar i de fall som prövats av domstol. Detta bThe present study examines the court's evaluation of the causal relationship between the criminal negligence of healthcare professionals and the subsequent injury or death of patients. Healthcare professionals are not exempt from criminal liability under the Criminal Code. However, prosecutions of healthcare professionals are uncommon, and convictions in cases tried by the courts are even rare
