Nanowire (NW) arrays containing a top segment of GaxIn1–xP are investigated, comparing NWs grown using two different Ga precursors, trimethylgallium (TMGa) and triethylgallium (TEGa). TMGa is the precursor commonly used for the particle-assisted vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth of GaxIn1–xP NWs. However, it shows inefficient pyrolysis at typical NW growth conditions. The use of the alternative prec
The structure and dynamics of proteins in solution are closely related to their activity and, ultimately, to their performance in products and technologies, for example, drug formulations and enzymatic catalysis. With this in mind, the study of the fundamental behavior of proteins in deep eutectic solvents not only provides insight into a novel alternative to aqueous and molecular organic solvents
Long charge carrier diffusion length and large grain size are commonly believed to be inherent properties of highly luminescent polycrystalline thin-film semiconductors. However, exactly these two properties make luminescence very susceptible to quenching by just one strongly quenching defect state if present in each grain. Moreover, when the number of quenchers per grain is small (say 1–10), it v
Background: The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration ® (EASI) is a performance-based assessment tool, aiming to assess sensory perception, sensory reactivity, postural/ocular/bilateral integration, and praxis in children aged 3–12 years. These types of tests are currently not available in Swedish. A structured, multistep process of translation is crucial for maintaining equivalence between the
Pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are rare conditions that require complex interventions by multidisciplinary teams. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/the European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2015 guidelines included recommendations for pulmonary hypertension (PH) referral centers including minimum number of patients, staff, facilities, and netw
I tider av kris och börsoro kan det vara lämpligt att kasta en blick över axeln. Den stora börskraschen 1929 är en av alla tiders mest spektakulära ekonomiska händelser. I Sverige reagerade framför allt tre nationalekonomer på händelserna på Wall Street före, under och efter kraschen. Gustav Cassel och Bertil Ohlin såg euforin och paniken på börsen som fenomen åtskilda från den övriga ekonomin. De
Purpose: To explore work related and personal facilitators and barriers for return to work (RTW) and stay at work after stroke. Materials and methods: Twenty individuals post-stroke (median age 52 years; seven women) were interviewed in focus groups. Data were analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. Results: An overall theme “Work conditions, support and changed personal priorities influen
Rolf Henriksson var en av Sveriges ledande ekonomiska doktrinhistoriker. Han började sin bana med en avhandling om den svenska emigrationen men ägnade sig därefter åt att porträttera och analysera svenska ekonomer – Eli Heckscher, Arthur Montgomery, Bertil Ohlin, Erik Lundberg, Erik Dahmén – och organisationer: Konjunkturinstitutet, Industriens Utredningsinstitut, Nationalekonomiska klubben och Na
Communicating results from genomic sequencing to family members can play an essential role allowing access to surveillance, prevention, treatment or prophylactic measures. Yet, many patients struggle with communication of these results and it is unclear to what extent this is discussed during the consent process. We conducted an online systematic search and used content analysis to explore how con
Objective: To estimate the diagnostic performance of sonographic cervical length for the prediction of preterm birth (PTB). Design: Prospective observational multicentre study. Setting: Seven Swedish ultrasound centres. Sample: A cohort of 11 456 asymptomatic women with a singleton pregnancy. Methods: Cervical length was measured with transvaginal ultrasound at 18–20 weeks of gestation (C×1) and a
Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology and core needle biopsies (CNBs) in a series of primary soft tissue and bone lesions and to test a possible system for reporting results of FNA cytology of soft tissue lesion. Methods: This retrospective study encompassed 828 primary soft tissue and bone lesions, analysed with FNA, CNB
Attosecond pulses, produced through high-order harmonic generation in gases, have been successfully used for observing ultrafast, subfemtosecond electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solid state systems. Today's typical attosecond sources, however, are often impaired by their low repetition rate and the resulting insufficient statistics, especially when the number of detectable events per shot
This paper proposes an advanced emergency control strategy for embedded VSC-HVDC links after AC disturbances, such as line tripping and generation loss. The control goals are to minimize the impact of the disturbance on the AC-network, which includes improving the long-term voltage stability with utilizing possible unloading capacity of parallel AC elements. The proposed algorithm is evaluated aga
This article presents a dynamic land property rights theory based on the law of the limit to land productivity, and then uses this theory and a large amount of data to compare the history of the agricultural and industrial revolutions in England and China. The article finds that, in England, the arable land-especially sown land-per capita of the agricultural population trended downward before the
Coupling of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection to asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) offers the possibility to study active fractions of bio-separations on real samples, such as serum and saliva, including the assessment of activity of possibly aggregated species. The coupling of SPR with AF4 requires the possibility to select fractions from a fractogram and redirect them to the
Social insurance administrative officers’ decision-making skills influence their efficiency at work and their general well-being. At work their tasks are characterised by complexity and a need for order and accountability. Moreover, cases should usually be handled and finalised within the imposed time frames. We investigated skills related to decision-making success among social insurance officers
