This thesis explores crystal-phase engineering of nanowires to fabricate advanced quantum structures for charge and spin transport studies. Quantum dots formed by crystal-phase tuning during epitaxial growth of InAs nanowires were used as a starting point to realize and electrically characterize two different types of parallel-coupled quantum dots; electron-hole quantum dots and electron-elect
Given the increasingly polarized debates in many modern democracies over migration and integration, the behaviour of members of parliament (MPs) with a migrant background has important implications for patterns of representation. Drawing on role congruity theory, we hypothesize that MPs with a migrant background deliver more legislative speeches in debates that are of interest for citizens with a
The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo
We have previously demonstrated an association between neonatal phototherapy and/or neonatal icterus and risk of hospitalization for childhood asthma. This study included children who were prescribed anti-asthmatic medication on a population basis to study exposures during the foetal and neonatal period and risk of childhood asthma. The Swedish Medical Birth Register was linked to the Swedish Pres
A design study of a horizontal neutron reflectometer adapted to the general baseline of the long pulse European Spallation Source (ESS) is presented. The instrument layout comprises advanced solutions for the neutron guide, high-resolution pulse shaping and beam bending onto a sample surface being thoroughly adjusted to the properties of the ESS. The length of this instrument is roughly 55 m, enab
Aims: This study investigates the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) in relation to country of origin of the mother. The role of psychosocial resources, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors was examined in different causal models. Methods: Among all pregnant nulliparous women in the city of Malmo¨ , Sweden, who gave birth in 1991 – 92, 872 (87.7%) women completed a questionnaire during their f
The project was performed for FAS Converting Machinery AB (FAS) in Ystad with supervision from Industriell Elektroteknik och Automation at LTH. FAS is a company that makes machines for producing plastic bags on a roll. The problem given was to develop a sensor for detecting the perforations in the bags to ensure that the correct amount of bags was rolled up and that the tearing was in the right pl
The regeneration niche has been little investigated in studies of community assembly and plant distribution. We examined adaptive associations between seedling traits and habitat specialization. Two habitat contrasts were investigated across several evolutionary lineages of angiosperms: species specialized to forest vs. open habitats and to dry vs. wet habitats. We also tested whether effects of s

Denna studie undersöker hur digitala betalningslösningars design och användarupplevelse påverkar unga konsumenters beteenden och beslutsfattande vid onlineköp. Genom att integrera teoretiska ramverk från Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) med andra faktorer från Service Quality (SQ) samt Human Computer-Interaction (HCI) undersöker studien hur dessa modeller kan tillämpas
The increase and range extension of wolves (Canis lupus L) and brown bears ( Ursus arctos L) in Scandinavia inevitably impacts moose (Alces alces L.) populations and, as a consequence, the size and composition of the hunter harvest must be adjusted. We used a sex- and age-structured moose population model to delineate optimal harvest strategies under predation and to compare the resulting harvest
The emergence of artificial intelligence, especially machine-learning methods, challenges the set of legal guarantees put in place in Europe to combat discrimination and ensure equal treatment. This paper will focus on cases of algorithmic discrimination in the context of recruitment as a business practice. Particular in the field of recruitment of workers, which has always been a field where EU n
Although Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) are computationally efficient and theoretically mesh-independent, their standard formulation assumes periodic boundary conditions and rectangular domains. When applied to non-periodic conditions, FNOs often exhibit oscillations, edge effects, and reduced accuracy. To mitigate these issues, this study investigates modifications to the baseline FNO, including
Wind generation’s growing share of Nordic electricity supply has made imbalance settlement an increasingly costly exposure for producers. Under the Nordic single-price mechanism, all residual imbalance is settled at a single imbalance price, regardless of direction, determined by the mFRR activation market. Before that price is known, the producer fixes a day-ahead position, adjusts on the continu
Background: Knowledge is sparse on the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on surgical outcomes after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated the association between T2D and risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery, and evaluated the biological interaction between T2D and co-morbidities. Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, a cohort of all Danish wom
Importance: Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm delivery or preeclampsia, have higher future risks of cardiometabolic disorders; however, little is known about their long-term mortality risks. A better understanding of such risks is needed to facilitate early identification of high-risk women and preventive actions. Objective: To determine long-term mortality risks associated wi
The field of research dealing with the integration of biomolecules with electronic elements to form functional devices is called ‘‘bioelectronics’’. Bioelectronics based on mediated electron transfer (MET) between the biological element and the electrodes are designated as “second generation” while the one based on direct electron transfer (DET) is specified as “third generation”. Implanted bioele
Objectives Structural valve deterioration is an inherent limitation of bioprosthetic valves; however, the time it takes to develop varies depending on the valve model. The Sorin Soprano aortic bioprosthetic valve (Sorin Group/LivaNova, Milan, Italy) lacks reported long-term results. This study aims to establish the long-term durability of this bioprosthetic valve in a nationwide cohort. Methods Al
