We have calculated redox potentials of 12 blue copper protein sites comparing 64 computational methods, systematically varying the quantum mechanics (QM) system size, dielectric constants, density functional, and basis sets. All methods were based on structures optimized with combined QM and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approaches. The redox potentials were evaluated using 10 quality metrics. The b
This study explores a collaborative project between various levels of public administration in southern Sweden, designed to encourage companies to adopt sustainable transportation practices. Conducted with the participation of researchers from Lund University, the project supports companies in developing and annually revising action plans that include specific sustainability goals, assigned respon
To reverse biodiversity loss, creating resilient ecological networks has been promoted in policy and practice. However, we argue that emphasising networks within policy without clear conservation prioritisations may direct focus away from ecological processes important for population persistence. We studied the rationale for resilient ecological networks represented in a policy context, by reviewi
Aims: This study surveyed individuals and caregivers of children who received teplizumab at stage 2 type 1 diabetes (T1D) to garner real-world experiences and their health outlook for the future following treatment with the first approved disease-modifying immune therapy for delaying the onset of Stage 3 T1D. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational, online survey (conducte
Background: Survivors of stroke commonly report sleep disturbances. Studies of sleep disturbances after stroke are mostly performed in the acute phase. An increased knowledge of sleep disturbances and its determinants a longer time after stroke is needed to improve treatment and rehabilitation. Objective: To assess survivors of stroke more than 1 year after stroke onset and (1) investigate self-re
The quantum prepare-and-measure scenario has been studied under various physical assumptions on the emitted states. Here, we first discuss how different assumptions are conceptually and formally related. We then identify one that can serve as a relaxation of all others, corresponding to a limitation on the one-shot accessible information of the state ensemble. This motivates us to study the optima
Background: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) devices equipped with cadmium–zinc–telluride (CZT) detectors achieve high contrast resolution because of their enhanced energy resolution. Recently, thallium bromide (TlBr) has gained attention as a detector material because of its high atomic number and density. Purpose: This study evaluated the clinical applicability of a SPECT syste
Purpose: This paper aims to explore Swedish municipalities’ adoption of politically decided goals and targets, within the budget document, that are formulated for the accounting unit of the municipal group. Design/methodology/approach: A regression analysis of the adoption of financial and non-financial performance measurement by 289 Swedish municipalities was performed, including eight independen
Objective: Emergency complex abdominal aortic diseases are challenging to treat. During in situ laser fenestration (ISLF), aortic branches are covered and flow is restored by in situ fenestration of the stent graft, with promising midterm results. This study aimed to expand on the limited body of knowledge of midterm outcomes of ISLF in renovisceral aortic pathology in a multicentre setting. Metho
In this study, we demonstrate a successful application of laser absorption spectroscopy in an in-situ optical diagnostic system to map the radial distribution of the number density of vapor-phase aluminum (Al) atoms around a burning micron-sized Al droplet. This technique overcomes the challenges associated with the short optical path (at micron scale) and offers high sensitivity to Al atom concen
Improving transport efficiency in freight transport systems is essential to reduce operating costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Improvements in one part of the system can lead to negative consequences in other parts, making it difficult to predict the overall effects and thereby made the right decisions. In logistics these contradictions are recognized as trade-offs. The purpose of this st
Wood used in outdoor construction undergoes continuous cycles of wetting and drying, resulting in fluctuating moisture contents that directly influence its long-term durability. Excess moisture above a critical threshold leads to deterioration by fungal decay, limiting the service life of the structure. Service life models thus rely on accurate predictive models of moisture behaviour. However, cap
