The Multi-Blade is a Boron-10-based gaseous thermal neutron detector developed to face the challenge arising in neutron reflectometry at neutron sources. Neutron reflectometers are challenging instruments in terms of instantaneous counting rate and spatial resolution. This detector has been designed according to the requirements given by the reflectometers at the European Spallation Source (ESS) i
A new theory for the dispersibility enhancing effect of excipient fines for adhesive mixtures for inhalation is presented in this paper, while at the same time the shortcomings of current hypotheses are discussed. The proposed mechanism, denoted the ‘viscoelastic damping effect’, states that the presence of fines particles acts to dampen the collisions between carrier particles during mixing. As a
Presented is the search for anomalous Higgs boson decays into two axion-like particles (ALPs) using the full Run 2 data set of 140fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The ALPs are assumed to decay into two photons, providing sensitivity to recently proposed models that could explain the (g-2)μ discrepancy. This analysis covers an AL
Background and Objective: This narrative review addresses idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) and its epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical course and treatment during the last decade. As there is no previously validated protocol for finding the aetiology of acute pancreatitis (AP), the primary aim of this study is to find, describe and unify evidence about the diagnostic work-up of AP to diagnose the
The Nobel Prize in Literature to the Austrian writer Peter Handke in 2019 gave new attention to one of the basic, and historically highly disputed (cf. Espmark 2001, 2021), questions in relation to the practice of the world’s most important literary prize – on what grounds, aesthetic or otherwise, does the Swedish Academy award the prize? In the aftermath of the 2019 prize to Handke, there was an
Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. Severe infections can manifest in many ways, creating a heterogeneous clinical and molecular disease landscape that renders these diseases difficult to research, diagnose, and treat. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease, we apply mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze blood plasma samples f
The Vimmerby Moraine is the only significant ice-marginal moraine on the eastern side of southern Sweden, but no detailed studies exist on its formation during the final deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet. Through ground-penetrating radar surveys and detailed sediment logging, we provide evidence for an active, oscillating ice margin during the formation of the Vimmerby Moraine, suggestin
Women have made substantial gains in education in recent decades and outperformmen in educational attainment across the OECD, but the consequences of this reversal of the gender gap in education (RGE) have not been well researched. In this study, we address the association between the RGE and partnering, employment, and support for a right-wing populist party in Sweden. Of note, we explore the dif
Women have made substantial gains in education and outperform men regarding educational attainment across the OECD, but the consequences of this reversal of the gender gap in education (RGE) have not been well researched. We address the association between the RGE and partnering, employment, and support for a right-wing populist party in Sweden. We explore the differential impacts of women's educa
Sleep is a universal and complex state and it is widely agreed that this state is present in every animal species. However, the evolutionary origins of sleep remain ignored or misunderstood, which has led researchers to study, in various species, this common behaviour of all living organisms. Sleep is commonly studied at various levels under laboratory conditions, using tethered devices which reco
The CryoGrid community model is a flexible toolbox for simulating the ground thermal regime and the ice-water balance for permafrost and glaciers, extending a well-established suite of permafrost models (CryoGrid 1, 2, and 3). The CryoGrid community model can accommodate a wide variety of application scenarios, which is achieved by fully modular structures through object-oriented programming. Diff
High-spin nuclear isomers in N≈Z nuclei between doubly magic 40Ca and 56Ni provide an excellent testing ground for the nuclear shell model and questions related to isospin symmetry breaking in the vicinity of the proton drip line. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the possibility of weak electromagnetic decay branches along the decay paths of the 6526-keV 10+ isomer in 54Fe. The i
Dytiscus latissimus (Coleoptera Dytiscidae) is an endangered diving beetle throughout its range. It is one of the two species of Dytiscidae listed in Annex II of the Habitats Directive, IUCN red list and in many national level legislations and therefore strictly protected. The conservation of endangered species first of all requires an assessment of their population size. Until now, a method has n
Meat analogues are products that are supposed to resemble meat in terms of texture, flavour, and also sensory characteristics. They have recently become increasingly popular due to numerous issues related to health, religion, environmental impact and the growing number of vegetarians and vegans. Due to this reason, many plant-based protein materials, including grains, legumes, microalgae, and mus
Jorunn Joiner and Mari Komnæs also employ digital tools, albeit other ones, to shed light on the interaction between narratives of exceptionalism, travel, and place. In ‘Mapping Nordic Exceptionalism with GIS: The Odin Migration Theory and the Search for a Northern Heritage’, they use digital mapping tools to visualise the journeys of two travellers from different centuries in their search for a N
