Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques

The authors regret to report that an issue in the proposed code resulted in errors in Figs. 3 and 4 Table 2. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused. The error has been corrected in this corrigendum. To maintain comparable results, two minor changes in the methods were also implemented, namely: – The principal strains to determine the yield and fracture state were averaged over a 3 mm r

This study investigates levels of oral proficiency in French, German and Spanish attained by Swedish speaking students in lower secondary school. A total of 122 students performed two tasks: one production task and one interaction task. The oral performances were rated using scales from the Common European Framework of Referencefor Languages. The rating was done in successive steps by researchers

En stor del av språkvetenskapen vilar sedan länge på en snäv idé om sitt kunskapsobjekt. Inställningen är nomotetisk och logocentrisk. Med språk avses ett regelbundet system. Fastän denna inställning mött mycket motstånd, har den väl i praktiken aldrig skakats i grunden. Denna undersökning försöker därför ännu en gång att presentera ett alternativt språkbegrepp. Teorin är dialogisk och hermeneutis

There is a clinical need for conceptually new treatments that target the excessive activation of inflammatory pathways during systemic infection. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) are endogenous anti-infective immunomodulators interfering with CD14-mediated TLR-dependent immune responses. Here we describe the development of a peptide-based compound for systemic use, sHVF18, expressing th

A collection of ancient Byzantine hymns featuring women as pivotal characters, now in a new translation.At a time when Christianity was becoming the dominant religion in the Byzantine Roman Empire, Romanos the Melodist (ca. 485–565) was a composer of songs for festivals and rituals in late antique Constantinople. Most of his songs include dramatic dialogues or monologues woven with imagery from or

This article investigates if cryptocurrencies returns' are similarly affected by a selection of demand- and supply-side determinants. Homogeneity among cryptocurrencies is tested via a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model where determinants of Bitcoin returns are applied to a sample of 12 cryptocurrencies. The analysis goes beyond existing research by simultaneously coveri

This chapter analyses responses of European policymakers to the Covid-19 pandemic’s first and second waves. It is based on an empirical analysis where patterns are sought between contextual factors and policy responses. The results shows that that macroeconomic conditions and policy interactions appear to matter more than countries’ number of Covid-19 cases. The level of government indebtedness ca

This thesis is a history of Affirming Catholicism, a liberal Anglo-Catholic organisation within the Church of England, chiefly covering the period circa 1985 to 2000. It examines the rise of Affirming Catholicism, the events that led to its formation, the individuals involved, and the reasons why it came into being. It assesses how Affirming Catholicism’s theological and ecclesiastical identity ev

Experimental data on analog performance of gate-all-around III-V vertical Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) and circuits are presented. The individual device shows a minimal subthreshold swing of 44 mV/dec and transconductance efficiency of 50 V−1 for current range of 9 nA/μm to 100 nA/μm and at a drain voltage of 100 mV. This TFET demonstrates translinearity between transconductance and dra

SARS-CoV-2 and its ever-emerging variants are spread from host-to-host via expelled respiratory aerosols and saliva droplets. Knowing the number of virions which are exhaled by a person requires precise measurements of the size, count, velocity and trajectory of the virus-laden particles that are ejected directly from the mouth. These measurements are achieved in 3D, at 15,000 images/s, and are ap

Tidigare forskning lyfter fram betydande fördelar med den digitala marknadsföringen, samtidigt som det framförs att det är av vikt att behålla den traditionella marknadsföringen. Vad som är viktigt, oavsett om strategin baseras på traditionell eller digital marknadsföring, är en strategi som kommunicerar ett tydligt varumärke och anpassar sig efter kunden. Därmed menar tidigare forskning att en ko

IntroductionThe pulp and paper sector is a key global industry. Presently, pulp mills prioritize the production of pulp, fibers, and electricity. By transforming traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries, they can become a key element of a future, circular bioeconomy. To accomplish this, pulp mills need to close their loops and optimize the use of the lignocellulosic feedstock, not

The European project ‘REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart Economy’ (REWAISE) aims to establish a novel ‘smart water ecosystem’ by integrating an advanced digital infrastructure for decentralized water services and decision-making, engaging all stakeholders to highlight the actual value of water. The approach will reduce the consumption of freshwater and energy while also recovering valuable nutri
