We consider a semimartingale X which is reflected at an upper barrier T and a lower barrier S, where S and T are also semimartingales such that T is bounded away from S. First, we present an explicit construction of the reflected process. Then we derive a relationship in terms of stochastic integrals linking the reflected process and the local times at the respective bathers to X, S, and T. This r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen diskuterar tidigmedeltida skandinavisk konst, främst kyrkdörrar och portaler från Sverige och Norge. Kyrkans ingång är särskilt lämplig att studera dels eftersom den markerade en gräns för det heliga rummet, dels därför att den var en viktig mötesplats i lokalsamhällena. Genom kontextualiseringar och kritisk forskningshistorik skapas en delvis ny bild av deThe thesis discusses Medieval Scandinavian art, in particular church doors and portals from 12th and 13th century Sweden and Norway. The entrance of the church was a demarcation of holiness, but also a meeting place for the local communities, where otherwise secular activities could be legitimatized by the ecclesiastical context. This makes the doors and portals of special interest for the study o
To accelerate sustainable development and mitigate climate change, an increasing amount of finance is being mobilized for the deployment of renewable energy (RE) in developing countries from bilateral and multilateral donors and climate funds. Even though this trend is present in Mongolia, there is still a lack of knowledge about how effective these efforts have been for renewable energy developme
The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible and will have detrimental impacts on society’s health and safety, ecosystems and the economy, especially at the local scale. As a response, municipalities all over the world are setting up climate adaptation strategies, as is also the case in the Netherlands. However, many of the proposed measures require action not only on public but
Metoderna som används för att göra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen tryggare har bytt fokus från själva produktionen av jordbruksgrödor till att öka människors tillgänglighet till marknader. Analyser visar att det finns ett samband mellan inkomst, avlägsenhet, och hur stor andel av god jordbruksmark faktiskt används för jordbruk. För att beräkna tillgänglighet krävs fullständig, uppdaterad, ocContemporary approaches to improving food security amongst the world’s vulnerable populations have shifted from attempts to improve crop yield to improving accessibility to markets. Analyses show that there is a correlation between income, distance from cities, and the ratio of potential agricultural production to realised agricultural production. Complete, up-to-date, and reliable road network
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under de senaste årtiondena har norra Ghana drabbats av missväxt i samband med torka vid ett flertal tillfällen. Jordbrukarna i området är beroende av den mängd nederbörd som faller under den enda regnperioden, mellan april och september. En avvikelse från den årliga medelnederbörden kan därför medföra en reducering eller fullständig kollaps av spannmålsproduktiNorthern Ghana experiences one dry season per year, but severe droughts may occur more infrequently. This is of concern to the local farmers of the Tamne River Basin (northeast Ghana) who depend on adequate rainfall amounts during the rainy season. Unfavourable precipitation amounts may lead to catastrophic consequences. It is therefore crucial to develop methods for predicting the distribution of
Purpose: To assess limits for significant improvement or deterioration of visual fields in diabetic patients based on short-term test–retest variability in subjects with different degrees of retinopathy. Methods: Fifty patients with diabetic retinopathy ranging from level 10 to 75 [according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale] were tested repeatedly with both
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can reduce the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic farming and plant diversification are farm management schemes that may mitigate potential ecological harm by increasing species richness and boosting related ecosystem services to agroecosystems. What remains unclear is the extent to wh
Background and purpose — Targeted delivery of drugs is important to achieve efficient local concentrations and reduce systemic side effects. We hypothesized that locally implanted synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) particles can act as a recruiting moiety for systemically administered drugs, leading to targeted drug accretion. Methods — Synthetic HA particles were implanted ectopically in a muscle pouc
Drought is a major natural hazard in the Bolivian Altiplano that causes large agricultural losses. However, the drought effect on agriculture varies largely on a local scale due to diverse factors such as climatological and hydrological conditions, sensitivity of crop yield to water stress, and crop phenological stage among others. To improve the knowledge of drought impact on agriculture, this st
The paper suggests conditions for presence of quadratic Lyapunov functions for nonlinear observer based feedback systems with an input nonlinearity in the feedback path. Provided that the system using state feedback satisfies the circle criterion (i.e., when all states can be measured), we show that stability of the extended system with output feedback control from a (full state) Luenberger-type o
Rationale: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common, severe comorbidity in interstitial lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and it has limited treatment options. Excessive vascular fibrosis and inflammation are often present in PH, but the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. Objectives: To identify a novel functional link between natural killer T (NKT) cell activation an
Context: Land-use intensification to increase yields is often detrimental to biodiversity undermining the provision of ecosystem services. However, it is questionable if ecosystem service providers contribute to ecological intensification by achieving the same or higher yields than conventional high-intensity agriculture. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to disentangle the effects of local and

Purpose: Direct percutaneous access to the carotid artery (diPerCa) during endovascular aortic arch repair (EVAAR) can potentially present a minimally invasive access with lesser local adverse events. Techniques: A retrospective review of consecutive EVAAR between January 2018 and January 2024, in a tertiary referral center, was performed to identify cases, in which diPerCa was used. Patients who
Introduction: A nationwide multicenter study was performed to examine short- and long-term effects of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). IRE is an alternative method when thermal ablation is contraindicated because of risk for serious thermal complications. Methods: All consecutive patients in Sweden treated with IR
Background Ozone is a pollutant known to cause adverse effects on human health. It is formed by reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons under the influence of sunlight. In urban areas ozone is consumed oxidating nitrogen oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Despite the potential to cause adverse health effects, the local spatial distribution of ozone and the relationship between
