Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har morfologin och kristallstrukturen av epitaxiellt växta nanotrådstrukturer undersökts med hjälp av svepelektronmikroskopi (SEM), transmissionselektronmikroskopi (TEM) och multi-slice (MS) simuleringar. Bland annat har vi funnit att de lamellära tvillingar som ofta observeras i III-V nanotrådar växta i <111>B riktningarna tenderar att begränsas av eIn this work, the morphology and crystal structure of epitaxial semiconductor nanowire structures grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) are studied by electron microscopy methods. In particular, the three-dimensional structure of nanowires and nanotrees has been characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and multi-sli

The implicit assumption of many scientific and regulatory frameworks that ecosystems impacted by human pressures may be reverted to their original condition by suppressing the pressure was tested using coastal eutrophication. The response to nutrient abatement of four thoroughly studied coastal ecosystems that received increased nutrient inputs between the 1970s and the 1980s showed that the traje

BACKGROUND: Cerebral endothelial dysfunction occurs in a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. Whether biomarkers of microvascular endothelial dysfunction can predict dementia is largely unknown. We explored the longitudinal association of midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), C-terminal endothelin-1 (CT-proET-1) and midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) with dementia and s

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified a few risk loci for ischaemic stroke, but these variants explain only a small part of the genetic contribution to the disease. Coding variants associated with amino acid substitutions or premature termination of protein synthesis could have a large effect on disease risk. We performed an exome array analysis for ischaemi

ABINIT is a package whose main program allows one to find the total energy, charge density, electronic structure and many other properties of systems made of electrons and nuclei, (molecules and periodic solids) within Density Functional Theory (DFT), Many-Body Perturbation Theory (GW approximation and Bethe-Salpeter equation) and Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). ABINIT also allows to optimize

Thirty clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 20 of which were multidrug-resistant (MDR), were tested for susceptibility to different combinations of amoxycillin, clavulanic acid and subinhibitory concentrations of ethambutol. beta-Lactamase production was assessed semiquantitatively with the nitrocefin method and susceptibility testing was performed with the BACTEC method. All isolates

The aim of this study was to verify the advanced inhomogeneous dose distribution produced by a volumetric arc therapy technique (RapidArc) using 3D gel measurements and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The TPS (treatment planning system)-calculated dose distribution was compared with gel measurements and MC simulations, thus investigating any discrepancy between the planned dose delivery and the actu

Based on corpora and earlier studies, this paper mainly attempts to answer the question how constructions of restrictive which and that have developed in comparison to one another in American and British English news until today. Corpus queries are designed to match patterns of particular object and subject gap constructions, such as I like the ball that/which is green with subject gap and It is t

Background: Previous research has focused exclusively on weight loss or weight maintenance following weight loss, i.e. secondary weight maintenance (SWM). The long-term results of SWM have been modest, suggesting that preventing initial weight gain among normal weight or overweight individuals, i.e. primary weight maintenance (PWM), may be more successful. The aim of this study was to compare the

Their services include both software development and technical-engineering calculations with focus on delivering all information needed to perform a commercial flight from one place to another. The company is currently developing a web system with Google Web Toolkit which will be used within the comp

Different actors identified the circular economy (CE) as a solution to tackle global environmental challenges and foster sustainable growth. Transitioning to CE requires new circular business models (CBM), which create, capture, and deliver value, based on the principles of the CE. It is, however, a challenging process for companies see through the wide variety of CBM types and to identify which C

Uppsatsen behandlar rätten till en skälig levnadsstandard genom ekonomiskt bistånd för barn som saknar rätt att vara i Sverige (vilka benämns barn utan papper i uppsatsen). Rätten till en skälig levnadsstandard är en väletablerad rättighet i en humanitär välfärdsstat som Sverige. Av flera internationella bestämmelser som Sverige åtagit sig att följa, däribland den allmänna förklaringen, gäller denThis thesis handles the right to a reasonable standard of living through financial aid for children who lack the right to be in Sweden (referred to as children without documents within the thesis). The right to a reasonable standard of living is a well-established right in a humanitarian welfare state like Sweden. Of several international conventions that Sweden has undertaken to follow, this appl

Food insecurity is a reality faced by millions of people worldwide. Poor access and availability to food markets, poverty, and uncertain global system futures all exacerbate this issue. In seeking to combat food insecurity for South Carolina residents and improve the viability and resilience of local food markets around Greenville County, South Carolina, this assessment determines optimal potentia

Aims. The present study was conducted to determine the optical extinction curve for Cerro Paranal under typical clear-sky observing conditions, with the purpose of providing the community with a function to be used to correct the observed spectra, with an accuracy of 0.01 mag airmass(-1). Additionally, this work was meant to analyze the variability of the various components, to derive the main atm

Title: “Language is access to everything” - A qualitative study of SFI-teachers' experience of the transition to digitalized distance education. Authors: Rania Elwan and Fitore Mehmeti Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Assessor: Maria Bergendal Arvidsson The purpose of the study is to investigate from teachers for Swedish for immigrants (SFI) perspective how the transition to digitalized distance ed

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of consumers' perception of heritage in luxury brands online. This will be investigated from a consumer perceived value perspective, with regard to the following aspects of value; social, economic, functional and affective. Methodology: An epistemological and ontological foundation guides the research approach of qualitative so

“Netflix and chill?” It has been 10 years since this phrase has become an innuendo for casual sex. Netflix has become a streaming titan with over 300 million subscribers. The success of Netflix owes much to its original contents emphasising the competitive edge. Netflix categories its soft-core porn titles as Steamy Movies on the platform and even has an established category code for the genre, 11

Background Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are often admitted to monitored wards due to the risk of complications. Several risk prediction scores exist, but their use in the emergency department (ED) is limited. We aimed to compare the ability of existing risk scores with a new logistic regression model in predicting complications in ACS patients. Methods This was a secondary analysis
