To avoid the scaling of the number of qubits with the size of the basis set, one can divide the molecular space into active and inactive regions, which is also known as complete active space methods. However, selecting the active space alone is not enough to accurately describe quantum mechanical effects such as correlation. This study emphasizes the importance of optimizing the active space orbit

PURPOSE: Pharmacologic doses of corticosteroid (CS) have been shown to ameliorate the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) preserving strength, pulmonary function and ambulation as well as reducing the incidence of scoliosis. However, there are serious side effects of CS, which may impact dose tolerance. The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of positive CS effects on p

In addition to the individual and family context, neighborhoods and communities are important for the individual life course and family transitions. We study how social neighborhoods in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence generally predict that low-SES children living in high-SES neighborhoods benefit fro

Swedish mining is often envisioned as virtuous, as coinciding harmoniously with quests for sustainability and the cultural survival of indigenous Sami peoples. This chapter posits that Sweden’s sense of exceptionalism in mining is embedded in a colonial/extractive system of knowledge that fails to mention non-capitalist, anticolonial relationalities to nature and ways of life. The normalised statu

It is becoming increasingly clear that we need an integrated approach to understanding and encouraging transitions towards a sustainable energy system. Current overall unsustainable ‘practices’ are locked into cultural, material, institutional and infrastructural settings. This limits the scope for individual choice and action. Even when actions are taken on individual or project level, they often

Popular Abstract in Swedish Framgångsrik strålbehandling av cancerpatienter kräver att man kan bestämma den absorberade dosen i patienten med stor noggrannhet. Bara några enstaka procents avvikelse i absorberad dos kan ha betydelse för det kliniska resultatet avseende både tumörutläkning och normalvävnadsreaktioner. För att beräkna den absorberade dosen i patienten används sofistikerade datorprogThe accuracy of dose calculations for various aspects of a treatment planning system (TPS) using an energy fluence beam modelling has been evaluated. The investigated TPS uses a beam model, which separates the energy fluence into a number of sources in the treatment head. The energy fluence components are transported towards the patient and, together with the scatter generated in the patient, yiel

BMP receptors determine the intensity of BMP signals via Smad1 C-terminal phosphorylations. Here we show that a finely controlled cell biological pathway terminates this activity. The duration of the activated pSmad1Cter signal was regulated by sequential Smad1 linker region phosphorylations at conserved MAPK and GSK3 sites required for its polyubiquitinylation and transport to the centrosome. Pro

Big data usage is an often-hyped phenomenon within industry and academia. The automotive industry commonly employs BI technology to improve the quality of their decision-making. However, recent developments within the automotive industry such as the connected car and advanced manufacturing make big data usage increasingly important. Since the adoption of new technologies in organizations turns out

Lund Cathedral, founded in the beginning of the 12th century, is part of the history of Sweden, being visited by people of different cultural and religious backgrounds. Although its popularity among tourists, said institution is facing difficulties to attract young Swedes to their activities, among them, Swedish students of Lund University. The inspiration for this thesis came from my internship a

Under 2015 sökte rekordmånga asyl i Sverige. För att minska antalet asylsökande till Sverige valde regeringen att införa den tillfälliga utlänningslagen. Majoriteten av remissinstanserna var kritiska till lagförslaget, men regeringen valde ändå att införa den tillfälliga lagen med motiveringen att det var nödvändigt att skapa andrum i svenskt asylmottagande. Den tillfälliga utlänningslagen innehålSweden received a record number of asylum seekers in 2015. To reduce the number of asylum seekers, the Swedish Parliament adopted a new law. The new law entered into force on 20th July 2016 and will be valid for three years. The law was adopted even though a majority of the consultative bodies were critical to the new law. There are three big changes with the new law. The first change is that refu

The findings of this thesis suggest that there appears to be a bad spiral. In countries with a lot of natural resources and poorly developed socio-economic structures, there is a present tendency to lower environmental protection laws in order to attract foreign investors by creating market oriented regulations. Investors and managers of multinational corporations will reduce production costs by m

Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av ett urval ur romanen El padre de Blancanieves (2007), skriven av den spanska författaren Belén Gopegui. Uppsatsen undersöker vilka förutsättningarna är för att översätta olika drag som gör att källtexten kan klassas som poetisk prosa. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten följt av en del där strategier inför översättningen diskuteras. Detta

Syftet med den här undersökningen var att med hjälp av Stig Dagermans novell Att döda ett barn undersöka hur en skönlitterär berättelse kan fungera retoriskt. Novellen användes 1948 i en trafikkampanj som NTF stod bakom. Undersökningen skulle göras genom att analysera hur Dagerman har använt sig av retoriska grepp, samt hur han och NTF förhållit sig till den retoriska situationen och vad detta kan

This study is about diplomatic recognition, and why some states have not received full diplomatic recognition from the international community. The central research-problem focuses on the factors that affect a state's foreign policy decision not to recognize other states. Taiwan and Kosovo are chosen as research-cases through a strategic case-selection. The theoretical framework used in this s

Parallellt med ökningen av cancer i samhället ökar behandlingsmöjligheterna för cancersjukdomar. Allt fler människor kan i nuläget erbjudas kurativ cytostatikabehandling mot sin cancersjukdom. Syftet med studien var att belysa livet hos en människa som genomgått cytostatikabehandling för malignt lymfom sett ur ett patientperspektiv. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med nio patienter på en

Stakeholder engagement is viewed as crucial for environmental governance, especially in regard to common-pool resources (CPRs), such as river basins. This study investigates the conceptualisation of stakeholder engagement in Ireland’s third cycle River Basin Management Plan (RBMP). The study examines the underlying presumptions and representations of stakeholder engagement in governmental discours
