Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant impact of the resolution of solar irradiation data on the outcomes of hourly production models. Accurate integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems sometimes demands a high-resolution global horizontal irradiance (GHI) time series to capture the rapid fluctuations in PV power output induced by swift irradiance changes. Most of the available database

The crucial role of aerobic energy production in sustaining eukaryotic life positions mitochondrial processes as key determinants of an animal's ability to withstand unpredictable environments. The advent of new techniques facilitating the measurement of mitochondrial function offers an increasingly promising tool for conservation approaches. Herein, we synthesize the current knowledge on the link

We have previously proposed and evaluated acoustophoresis for the enrichment of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and clusters thereof from the blood of patients with prostate cancer [1]. In that protocol, the cells were fixed and preserved in paraformaldehyde before processing and were thus non-viable. To enable future enrichment of also viable CTCs from patients, we have in this study investigated t

Samtiden tycks besatt av det ögonblickliga: I kultur, politik och samhällsdebatt överdrivs individuella prestationer och snabba, omvälvande händelser. Detta trots att samhällsvetenskapen sedan länge har understrukit betydelsen av historiska utvecklingslinjer, och gång på gång visat att beslut idag är starkt präglade av tidigare händelser. Med andra ord: att samhällsutvecklingen är spårbunden.I den

We recently introduced the concept of thermoacoustic streaming in microchannels wherein a thermal field is generated inside an acoustic cavity. The result is a fast and controllable streaming for which the thermal energy is provided either by an LED light source [1], or a laser [2]. While in previous works we have measured this effect at steady state, we now present measurements of the build-up an

By combining acoustic fields and liquid flows in microchannels we develop tools to chart and separatebiological particles based on their bio-mechanical properties. I will present an overview of three ongoingprojects where acoustic forces are utilized to separate blood cells.We studied the packing behavior of whole blood in a sound field. We discovered that cells self-organizesuch that red blood cells

Background: The Duke criteria for diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) were recently updated by the International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) with the purpose of enhancing diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. This study investigated the performance of the Duke-ISCVID criteria in relation to previous criteria. Method: This retrospective single centre cohort study in

Två böcker som analyserar västvärldens predikament efter Trump I är väl värda att begrunda även om de farhågor författarna ventilerar har antagit oanade proportioner efter Trump II: Peter Heathers och John Rapleys Why Empires Fall (Allen Lane 2023) och Martin Wolfs The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism (Penguin Books 2024).

We document the socioeconomics of wind power expansion in Sweden using two metrics. First, we compute the difference in socioeconomic status (SES) between residents exposed to wind power (0-2 km from the closest turbine) and those not exposed. For each site, the metric is computed ten years prior until five years after construction. When the comparison group is other residents within the same muniWe document the socioeconomics of wind power expansion in Sweden using two metrics.

BackgroundThe curriculum for the courses given at the music specialization of theupper secondary school’s aesthetic program in Sweden includes theconcept of artistic expression (AE). Being a criterion for assessment, nodefinition is provided by the National Agency of Education and thereexists no consensus of how to interpret artistic expression amongmusic teachers and music teacher students.Method

Background: Despite many atrial fibrillation (AF) patients being at risk of bleeding, very limited data are available on bleeding rates of different direct oral anticoagulants based on the spectrum of bleeding risk. Objective: We aimed to compare the risk of major bleeding and thromboembolic events with apixaban vs rivaroxaban for AF patients stratified by bleeding risk. Methods: We conducted a po

Hur ska vi förstå att det pågår ett folkmord i realtid? Nina Gren hittar vägledning i filosofen Achille Mbembes teori nekropolitik som visar hur social och politisk makt används för att frånta rasifierade människor sitt värde. De blir levande döda.

The initial adsorption of MeCpPtMe 3 is investigated using synchrotron-based ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experiments are done on a native oxide-covered Si substrate. In addition, a reaction with O 2 and the created Pt surface was investigated. Inspiration for the reaction studies was found from atomic layer deposition of metallic Pt, process that uses the same comp

Today, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become a firm corner stone of thin film deposition technology. The microelectronics industry, an early adopter of ALD, imposes stringent requirements on ALD to produce films with highly defined physical and chemical properties, which becomes even more important as device and component dimensions decrease. This, in turn, means that our understanding of the c

Objective To estimate the prevalence of the curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis and Treponema pallidum, to identify associated risk factors and to assess ciprofloxacin resistance in N. gonorrhoeae-positive specimens among female sex workers (FSWs) in Guinea-Bissau. Methods For this cross-sectional

Static analysis tools play a crucial role in software development by detecting bugs and vulnerabilities. However, running these tools separately from the code editing process often causes developers to switch contexts, which can reduce productivity. Previous work has shown how Reference Attribute Grammars (RAGs) can be used for declarative implementation of competitive tooling for intraprocedural

This is the software artifact for the paper "Efficient Demand Evaluation of Fixed-Point Attributes Using Static Analysis" published in SLE 2024.This artifact supports the evaluation of a new demand-driven algorithm for efficient circular Reference Attribute Grammar evaluation, specifically designed to improve performance of higly circular applications, e.g., dataflow analyses for Java. The artifac

The 2022 PSOGI (Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International) and RENAPE (French Network for Rare Peritoneal Malignancies) consensus on hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was a comprehensive effort aimed at standardizing treatment protocols for various peritoneal malignancies. This initiative is critical due to the wide range of technical variations in HIPEC procedures and the re

Stadsodling kan fungera som ett inslag i en stadsbyggnadskonst där vi förvaltar odlingsbar mark och människors relationer till platser på ett hållbart sätt. I föreliggande studie undersöktes möjligheten för odlingsverksamheter med barn att bidra till deras naturkontakt, lek och lärande. Odlingarnas bidrag till invånarnas omförhandling av sin relation till platsen mot mer hållbara vardagsvanor och
