Reality monitoring refers to a person's ability to distinguish between perceived and imagined events. Prior research has demonstrated that young adults show a reality-monitoring advantage for negative arousing information as compared with neutral information. The present research examined whether this reality-monitoring benefit extends to positive information in young adults and whether older adul
Thermal stability of WxSi1−x/Si multilayers (MLs) with x varying from 1 to 0.11 is studied by TEM and LAXS. The structure of the prepared samples is amorphous. Doping of W sublayers with silicon affects the interdiffusion process as well as the crystallization in these sublayers. We investigated these two processes (which have a detrimental influence on e.g. X-ray mirror stability) by annealing ou
Objectives: To define requirements that condition trust in artificial intelligence (AI) as clinical decision support in radiology from the perspective of various stakeholders and to explore ways to fulfil these requirements. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-five respondents—nineteen directly involved in the development, implementation, or use of AI applications in rad
Purpose: To investigate the impact of reduced injected doses on the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the amyloid PET tracers [18F]flutemetamol and [18F]florbetaben. Methods: Cognitively impaired and unimpaired individuals (N = 250, 36% Aβ-positive) were included and injected with [18F]flutemetamol (N = 175) or [18F]florbetaben (N = 75). PET scans were acquired in list-mode (90–110 min po
The active manipulation of particle and cell trajectories in fluids by high-frequency standing surface acoustic waves (sSAW) allows to separate particles and cells systematically depending on their size and acoustic contrast. However, process technologies and biomedical applications usually operate with non-spherical particles, for which the prediction of acoustic forces is highly challenging and
The management of breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC) is a relatively rare indication and an area where no or little evidence is available since randomized controlled trials cannot be conducted. In general, advances related to breast cancer (BC) treatment outside pregnancy cannot always be translated to PrBC, because both the interests of the mother and of the unborn should be considered. Eviden
Using Marcus theory, the electric-field-dependent charge-separation dynamics of non-fullerene acceptors D/A heterojunctions are simulated. On the D/A interface, the excited-state characteristics show obvious differences under different electric field intensities, providing microscopic details of the non-fullerene D/A interface at the atomic level. For different electric field conditions, so the ca
A flexible way to generate bimetallic nanoparticles with high control of their composition is to use spark ablation of alloyed electrodes. It has been generally accepted and stated that particles produced using spark ablation of alloyed electrodes obtain the same chemical composition as the electrodes. However, we identify a lack of studies fully supporting the connection between electrode and par
This article explores how the right to respect one’s home under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights would apply in the context of housing and social control. After explaining the connections between social control, housing, and human rights, it analyzes the selected case law of the European Court of Human Rights on Article 8 in certain cases concerning housing with a view to under
Under global warming, flooding has become one of the most destructive natural disasters along the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which significantly jeopardizes the construction and ongoing stability of the CPEC. The assessment of regional flood potential is, therefore, crucial for effective flood prevention and relief measures. In light of this, our study applied MIKE 11 hydrodynamic mo
Monolayers of soft colloidal particles confined at fluid interfaces are at the core of a broad range of technological processes, from the stabilization of responsive foams and emulsions to advanced lithographic techniques. However, establishing a fundamental relation between their internal architecture, which is controlled during synthesis, and their structural and mechanical properties upon inter
We consider random graphs on the set of N2 vertices placed on the discrete 2-dimensional torus. The edges between pairs of vertices are independent, and their probabilities decay with the distance ρ between these vertices as (Nρ)−1. This is a versatile example of an inhomogeneous random graph that is not of rank 1. Here, we study the critical phase: the main result is the weak limit of the size of
In 2025, the Swedish Film Institute announced that it would minimise the funding of films deemed “international” to safeguard “Swedish” perspectives. Triggered by the success of a series of Swedish co-productions shot elsewhere, in other languages, by filmmakers of mixed or diasporic background, said shift in film policy is symptomatic of a wider Nationalist turn in Swedish politics, and the cultu
Food intake induces metabolic and hemodynamic changes, but its impact on many circulating protein biomarkers remains unclear. This study assessed the effect of a standardised meal on 85 plasma biomarkers measured by the Proseek Multiplex Metabolism panel. Twenty-two healthy adults (11 men, 11 women; mean age 25.9 ± 4.2 years) were examined after an overnight fast and at 30 and 120 min following
Does the level of attention that politicians direct toward complex environmental problems impact how frontline bureaucrats in municipal settings form relationships? The collaborative interactions among civil servants are a defining feature of environmental governance, drastically shaping how issues are addressed. In this article, the authors incorporate political attention, or the priority status
Engelsk titel: Greater opportunities than interests : Civic culture and deliberative discourse on Swedish NGO websites This is a critical and normative study, which examines a selection of Swedish NGO websites as potential forums for civic culture and deliberative discourse in the public sphere. Sociocultural, political and sociological and media and communication theories are combined. The work
I examine the impact of several determinants on foreign direct investments (FDI) by conducting a regional analysis with a particular focus on Belarus. I estimate a panel data model for 16 Central and Eastern European and ex-Soviet Union member countries in a cross-country framework over the 2002 to 2006 time period. The determinants chosen for the empirical model represent macro-economic and trade
This thesis is based on Heston and Nandi’s (2000) paper. The aim is to check how their closed-form discrete-time GARCH option pricing model performs on Swedish data, and if there are any significant changes to its performance when estimating it via maximum likelihood using the Normal- and the Student-t distribution. The model is compared with the Black-Scholes- and the ad hoc Black-Scholes model o
