We have used angle-dependent soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the O K edge and first-principles calculations to investigate the electronic structures of iridate-based superlattices (SrIrO3)m/(SrTiO3) (m=1, 2, 3, and ∞). We focus on the pre-edge Ir 5d t2g-O 2p orbital hybridization feature in the XAS spectra. By varying the measurement geometry relative to the incident photon polarizatio
Dynamic computer tomography (CT) is an emerging modality to analyze in-vivo joint kinematics at the bone level, but it requires manual bone segmentation and, in some instances, landmark identification. The objective of this study is to present an automated workflow for the assessment of three-dimensional in vivo joint kinematics from dynamic musculoskeletal CT images. The proposed method relies on
Since 2009 initiatives that were selected for the roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures started working to build research infrastructures for a wide range of research disciplines. An important result of the strategic discussions was that distributed infrastructure scenarios were now seen as “complex research facilities” in addition to, for example traditional centralis
The water-energy-food nexus is now a popular approach in the sustainability field. However, whereas the nexus calls for more holistic, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, the research produced over the past decade has been fragmented and specialized. Furthermore, there is still a gap between the nexus as a descriptive and analytical concept and its operationalization. Nexus research needs a s
Att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd är ett mycket ingripande beslut som kan påverka den enskildes trygghet. Av den anledningen ska den en-skildes trygghet och stabilitet alltid beaktas när ett sådant beslut fattas. Konsekvenserna av att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd kan vara att personen inte längre har rätt att resa in i Sverige utan visum och att personen inte längre är fRevoking a permanent residence permit is a highly intrusive decision that can affect the individual's security. For this reason, the individual's security and stability should always be taken into account when making such a deci-sion. The consequences of revoking a permanent residence permit may in-clude the person no longer having the right to enter Sweden without a visa and no longer bei
SUMMARY With gender roles still persisting in today’s working life and inhibiting women from utilising their rights on an equal basis with men; the aim of the thesis has been to examine the level of realisation of women’s rights in relation to the principle of non-discrimination and equality on the basis of gender. The examination has been in the format of a comparative analysis between Sweden
The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction is marked globally by elevated concentrations of iridium, emplaced by a hypervelocity impact event 66 million years ago. Here, we report new data from four independent laboratories that reveal a positive iridium anomaly within the peak-ring sequence of the Chicxulub impact structure, in drill core recovered by IODP-ICDP Expedition 364. The highest co
Several threads of research towards developing artificial gametes are ongoing in a number of research labs worldwide. The development of a technology that could generate gametes in vitro has significant potential for human reproduction, and raises a lot of interest, as evidenced by the frequent and extensive media coverage of research in this area. We have asked researchers involved in work with a
This study addresses the postulate of non-conventionality of pantomime, inherent in pantomimic scenarios of language origin. Since lack of semiotic conventions does not preclude micro-conventions resulting from cultural differences, pantomimes should be easier to interpret when the actor and recipient share the same culture than between two different cultures. In the study, Italian and Polish amat
This doctoral thesis in computational statistics utilizes both Monte Carlo methods(approximate Bayesian computation and sequential Monte Carlo) and machine-learning methods (deep learning and normalizing flows) to develop novel algorithms for inference in implicit Bayesian models. Implicit models are those for which calculating the likelihood function is very challenging (and often impossible),
I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param
Intresset för e-sport har ökat markant de senaste åren. En av de mest populära e-sporterna är Hearthstone, som också är denna uppsats fokus. Idag är det lätt att tjäna pengar på e-sport, både som amatör och som professionell spelare. Med e-sportens framväxt uppkommer nya rättsliga frågor. Denna uppsats syftar till att besvara en av dem: tillgodoser den skatterättsliga regleringen av lotterivinsterE-sports have gained huge recognition over the past few years. One of the most popular e-sports is Hearthstone, which also is the focus of this essay. Nowadays it is easy to make money on e-sports, both as an amateur and as a professional player. As e-sports grow, new legal matters arise. The purpose of this essay is to answer one of these new legal questions: does the regulation of lotteries in t
The widespread consequences of climate change are becoming more and more evident around the world and are raising crucial awareness to world leaders that a sustainable transition is direly needed to mitigate against disastrous climatic events. In Australia, in early 2020, these events took the form of some of the most devastating and largest forest fires the country has ever seen. This devastation
Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici) is a crop disease caused by a fungus that regularly infects wheat and causes yield loss in Ethiopia. The disease has a significant impact on the country’s crop production, food security, health, and socioeconomic well-being. Anticipating yellow rust epidemics can help to better manage them and mitigate their adverse impacts. This study explores t
Wheat bran is a by-product from the production of wheat flour. Nowadays wheat bran is mostly used as feed for animals, in the food and baking industry or it is simply burned in open air. However, wheat bran could be used in biorefineries for production of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofuels and chemicals as a substitute for fossil feedstocks as petroleum. Since wheat bran is an agri
I juni 2002 kom 3:12-utredningens betänkande Beskattning av småföretagare (SOU 2002:52) med förslag vad gäller nya beskattningsregler för ägare till fåmansföretag. I kommittédirektivet anfördes som grundläggande utgångspunkter att man bl.a. skulle pröva möjligheter till förändringar i syfte att stimulera tillväxt och investeringar i fåmansföretagen. Ett för lång tid framåt förutsägbart och stabilt
