Natural lifetimes of some highly excited levels in the Pb-I spectrum have been measured by the zero field level crossing (Hanle) method. The levels were reached by optical excitation from the metastable 6p2 3P2 and 6p2 3P1 states, were a considerable population had been created by means of adc discharge in a Pb atomic beam. An atomic beam source producing atoms in metastable states is described. F
There is today a growing interest in psychological research to see how the feeling of shame affects individuals who are in vulnerable situation in our welfare society. In an attempt to shed light on how the individual servicerecipient experiences the treatment from government officials, a qualitative approach was adopted in this study. Using a hermeneutic approach, seven semi-structured interviews
Bakgrund: Kroppsmissnöje bland ungdomar är ett folkhälsoproblem som kan resultera i olika, skadliga tillstånd. Dessa tillstånd kan vara nedsatt känslomässigt välbefinnande och symptom på psykisk ohälsa, däribland depression och ätstörningar. Kroppsuppfattning är individers uppfattning om den egna kroppen. Kroppsattityden förändras under en livstid, tonåren kan vara en extra känslig och avgörande t
Since climate change reached public attention in the US, contrarian platforms have successfully established a counter-narrative to plant an illusion of deep controversy around the reality of climate change, effectively reproduced in conservative media. Despite growing scientific knowledge, a trend of enhanced, rather than decreasing, affiliation to contrarianism is paradoxically evident in the US.
Through the external dimension of the EU migration policy, the EU and its member states have increasingly employed externalization measures as a means of stemming the irregular migration flows that reach the external borders of the Union. The measures are characterized by domestic conduct with extraterritorial effect leading to increased migration control in the third countries targeted by these m
With the rise of new technologies such as augmented reality , virtual reality , non-fungible tokens (NFT) and the metaverse . A new world is on the rise, the digital world. With the digital world on the rise there will be new design, digital design. With digital design, there will be new opportunities for brands to capitalise on new markets. Brands such as Gucci, Nike and Balenciaga are in the for
A debate on environmental issues and food safety has been ongoing in Sweden and it is suggested that consumers' are seeking local produce instead of global and exotic foods. Moreover, studies show that the consumers’ positive attitude towards local produce does not reflect their actions. The purpose with this thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the dissonance between the consu
In recent years, research into internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) has suggested that therapist-guided digital interventions have greater engagement, adherence, and effectiveness than self-directed digital therapies. While research has focused on the effectiveness of, and adherence to, these interventions, less attention has been paid to their implementation in practice and what asp
Mammographic sensitivity in breasts with higher density has been questioned. Higher breast density is also linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Even though digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) offers an attractive solution, for varied reasons it has not yet been widely adopted in screening. An alternative could be to boost the performance of standard mammography by using computer-aided det
Current research on enzyme based electrochemical biosensors deals essentially with the same target analytes as was at focus in the early days of biosensor research, that is those within the clinical/medical, food/agriculture, and environmental fields [1•–13]. However, there has been substantial progress through the years and progress continues, as resumed in Figure 1A. One of the major differences
Background and Aims: Certain appearances of the major duodenal papilla have been claimed to make cannulation more difficult during ERCP. This study uses a validated classification of the endoscopic appearance of the major duodenal papilla to determine if certain types of papilla predispose to difficult cannulation. Methods: Patients with a naïve papilla scheduled for ERCP were included. The papill
This study uses a discontinuity in the Swedish tertiary eligibility requirement to estimate the probability of enrolling in tertiary education, and the payoff thereof. Regression discontinuity results, show that achieving tertiary eligibility in upper-secondary education, increases the probability of enrolling in tertiary education by around 10–15 and 7 percentage points for students who enrolled
This Forum addresses oxidative reactions of hemoglobin (Hb) and explores the underlying mechanisms of some of these reactions that contribute to the pathophysiology associated with hemolytic anemia and Hb-based oxygen therapeutics. A special focus of this Forum is on the understanding of naturally occurring mutations in human Hb and how these mutations were influenced overtime by variety of oxidat
OBJECTIVES: To compare 6 minute walking distance (6MWD) in a population-based osteoarthritis (OA) cohort with matched peers from the general population, and to explore the associations between walking ability and CVD risk (arterial stiffness) in the OA cohort.DESIGN: This cross-sectional study included participants (40-80 years) who self-reported OA (n=500) in a population-based study and age- and
Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a contributor to embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Subgroup analyses from previous studies suggest that anticoagulation could reduce recurrent stroke compared with antiplatelet therapy. We hypothesised that anticoagulant treatment with rivaroxaban, an oral factor Xa inhibitor, would reduce the risk of recurrent ischaemic stroke compared with as
