Standard quantum measurements are projective. However, the full scope of quantum measurements is represented by positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) and many of these break the limitations of projective measurements as resources in quantum information. It is therefore natural to consider how accurately an experimenter with access only to projective measurements and classical processing can si
First sphere engineering has enabled potent artificial phosphatases, but strategies that generate enzyme-like second-sphere effects with simple disordered materials remain limited. Here we demonstrate that partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA80, 80% hydrolyzed) acts as a minimalist soft matter scaffold that amplifies the hydrolytic activity of hydrated Zn(II). Rather than functioning a
BACKGROUND: Familial aggregation of stroke is well-documented, yet few studies have examined associations between stroke subtypes-particularly early-onset cryptogenic ischaemic stroke (eCIS)-and broader family history (FH) of cardiovascular disease. Such associations may provide insights into underlying etiologic mechanisms. METHODS: In this multicentre case-control study, we included eCIS patient
Remanufacturing is a key strategy in the circular economy, enabling substantial product value retention. However, inconsistent definitions across standards and legislation hinder global trade, core recovery and market acceptance. This study examines how remanufacturing is defined in laws and standards, and how these definitions impact industry practices. Through a literature review of key existing
Decapping is a critical step in mRNA decay, but the mechanisms regulating human decapping enzyme DCP2 remain poorly understood. Here, we reconstitute the human decapping network using full-length recombinant proteins and compare it to the yeast system. Unlike in yeast, we find that the C-terminal region of human DCP2 is not autoinhibitory. RNA-binding residues of yeast Dcp2 are not conserved in th
The traditional approach to quantum parameter estimation focuses on the quantum state, deriving fundamental bounds on precision through the quantum Fisher information. In most experimental settings, however, performing arbitrary quantum measurements is highly unfeasible. In open quantum systems, an alternative approach to metrology involves the measurement of stochastic currents flowing from the s
Syftet med uppsatsen är att fastställa utifrån ett konsultperspektiv vilka kritiska framgångsfaktorer som konsultbolagen har möjlighet att påverka vid en implementering av ett affärssystem. Valet att se KFF ur ett konsultperspektiv baserar sig på en saknad av forskning inom området på det vis att tidigare gjorda studier inte riktat sig mot denna grupp. Genom intervjuer med representanter från kons
Tavistock-inspired group relations conferences (GRCs) originated from overlapping yet distinct theories. These are psychoanalytic theories, theories of organizations as open systems, and theories of experiential learning in organizations. Tavistock-inspired GRCs are, first and foremost, a method of learning about organizations. The purpose of the study was to gain insight into the experiences of f
Sedan #metoo-hösten 2017 har ett trettiotal kvinnor som berättat om sexuella övergrepp på sociala medier dömts för förtal i Sverige. Den svenska förtalslagstiftningen, som skiljer sig från andra länders reglering på området, har därför kritiserats. I Sverige existerar det inte någon allmän rätt att få säga sanningen. I detta arbete undersöks den svenska förtalslagstiftningen utifrån ett genusrätSince the #metoo movement which started in the autumn of 2017, around thirty women who has spoken out about sexual assault on social media has been convicted of defamation in Sweden. Therefore, the Swedish defamation law has been criticized, which differs from other countries´ regulations in the area. In Sweden, there is no general right to tell the truth. This essay examines the Swedish defamat
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if Basel III has contributed to financial stability and if the capital requirements ensure financial stability in Europe. With the use of mixed methods this paper answers this question both quantitatively, by looking at the European banks empirically between the years of 2013-2018, and qualitatively, by conducting interviews and analyzing studies on the
We present a synthesis route for solid-state nanocatalysts composed of gallium phosphide nanowire supports decorated with catalytic palladium nanoparticles. Through precise control of fabrication conditions, we were able to tune the nanowire morphology, density, and crystal structure. The resulting catalysts were highly active and selective in the partial hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styren
Ultracold polar molecular gases provide a powerful platform for exploring quantum many-body physics with strong, long-range, and anisotropic interactions. In this work, we develop an extended Gross-Pitaevskii approach tailored to bosonic dipolar molecules under single-microwave shielding, incorporating their effective interactions and adapting the quantum fluctuation corrections. We benchmark this
Functional somatic syndromes frequently co-occur with internalizing disorders such as anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder. Both show familial associations with immune-mediated diseases. Here, we estimate genetic and environmental contributions to functional somatic syndromes and their overlap with immune-mediated diseases, with internalizing disorders included for comparison. The study
Quantum measurements under realistic conditions reveal only partial information about a system. Yet, by performing sequential measurements on the same system, additional information can be accessed. We investigate this problem in the context of semi-device-independent randomness certification using sequential maximum-confidence measurements. We develop a general framework and versatile numerical m
Rotation is a natural tool in ultracold gases to break time-reversal symmetry, yet its impact on the collective excitations of supersolids remains largely unexplored. We show theoretically that tuning the rotation frequency, rather than the interparticle interactions, can trigger the superfluid-to-supersolid transition in Bose-Einstein condensates. Computing excitation spectra in the presence of v
