In the past decades, the laser technology market for industrial material processing has grown by double digits. Nowadays, material processing by high power laser represents the almost irreplaceable solution for many needs. The company SEI S.p.A., based in Curno, Italy, requested a solid-state laser suitable for fast marking application. A Nd:YVO4 crystal in end-pumped configuration was chosen in o

This essay seeks to investigate the role of demands for quantifiable and measurable results in Human Rights capacity building projects in development countries. The nature of the work is slow processes, yet the financers need to see results for their investments, to make sure that it goes through the right channels. The Swedish minister of Aid has made statements that show a wish to focus Sweden’s

The unique perspective offered by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) has great potential for enhancing emergency and disaster response (EDR). Through a scoping exercise of research around the use of UASs for situational awareness and interviews with practitioners, this paper assesses the current benefits offered by UASs for situational awareness in EDR and identifies and discusses four areas of cons

Dynamic Shear Rheometer, DSR, blev central i samband med lanseringen av Superpave-metoden och är ett instrument som kan användas för att bedöma asfaltsegenskaper. Instrumentet kunde i ett tidigt skede av Superpave-metoden inte utföra mätningar vid låga temperaturer och fick för det ändamålet kompletteras med apparaten Bending Beam Rheometer, BBR. För att få en mer heltäckande översikt över bitumenThe Dynamic Shear Rheometer, DSR, became central in connection with the launch of the Superpave methodology and is an instrument that can be used to assess asphalt properties. The instrument could at an early stage of the Superpave methodology not perform measurements at low temperatures and had to be supplemented with the device Bending Beam Rheometer, BBR, for that purpose. To obtain a more comp

Det här är en systematisk litteraturöversikt som har prövat att besvara hur ögonskanning och angränsande teknologier i kombination med maskin- (n = 13 studier) och djupinlärning (n = 6 studier), var för sig, kan användas för att diagnostisera autismspektrumstörning (AST). Inkluderade artiklar har varit publicerade i vetenskapligt granskade journaler. De flesta studierna har haft under 100 deltagar

Den första lyckade organtransplantationen var av en njure år 1954, och sedan dess har njurtransplantationer förbättrat livet för de idag över 100 000 patienter globalt som varje år får en ny njure. Mycket av framgångarna är tack vare mediciner som hämmar det adaptiva immunförsvaret, och förhindrar att kroppen attackerar det främmande organet. Den fortsatta utvecklingen av dessa mediciner har lett

In the wake of Russia’s escalation of the invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Swedish politics seemed to suddenly change stance in regards to its participation in the military alliance Nato. Polls on the matter were seemingly flipped on their head. This paper aims to investigate how this came to pass through a constructivist lens about how a country with such deep historical, and cultural roots in

2019 infördes förändringar i MBL som inskränkte rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder mot kollektivavtalsbunden arbetsgivare och vid rättstvist. I den här uppsatsen beskrivs konsekvenserna för arbetstagarorganisationers rättsliga ställning, konsekvenserna för maktbalansen på arbetsmarknaden utvärderas och också hur reformen påverkar demokratin i arbetslivet. Övergripande är slutsatserna att reformen hIn 2019 changes were made in the Swedish Employment (Co-Determination in the Workplace) act which limited the ability of unions to take strike action against employers with a collective bargaining deal and regarding judicial disputes. In this essay the consequences for unions legal status are described and the consequences for the balance of power in the labour market are evaluated. Furthermore, t

Phocaeicola dorei and Phocaeicola vulgatus are very common and abundant members of the human gut microbiome and play an important role in the infant gut microbiome. These species are closely related and often confused for one another; yet, their genome comparison, interspecific diversity, and evolutionary relationships have not been studied in detail so far. Here, we perform phylogenetic analys

The article demonstrates how international relations (IR) as a discipline has failed to sufficiently attend to caste and casteism as matters of crucial significance for analyzing international, transnational, and global politics. Despite ongoing initiatives to make IR scholars knowledgeable about and attuned to how issues of race and racism directly impact many of the discipline’s core areas of re

The stability toward thermal and urea denaturation was measured for HAMLET (human -lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) and -lactalbumin, using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as differential scanning calorimetry. Under all conditions examined, HAMLET appears to have the same or lower stability than -lactalbumin. The largest difference is seen for thermal denaturation o

In this work H-1 NMR self-diffusion experiments have been performed to determine the self-diffusion coefficients of n-octyl beta-D-glucoside and n-nonyl beta-D-glucoside in alpha-cyclodextrin and beta-cyclodextrin solutions at 25 degreesC. Two questions are addressed. The first concerns the general influence on nonionic surfactant transport properties when cyclodextrins are present in solution. Th

The structures of films of SP-B and mixtures of SP-B and DPPC at the air/water interface have been studied by neutron reflectometry (NR) and Langmuir film balance methods. From the film balance studies we observe that at very high pressures the isotherms of pure DPPC and SP-B/DPPC mixtures very nearly overlay one another, suggesting that the SP-B is being excluded from the film. The use of multipl

Weak decentralization, authoritarianism and limited economic development in small towns in Uganda have been seen as key obstacles to political inclusion. However, small towns in theory also hold hope for political inclusion due to the potential for more direct citizen engagement and flexibility to be able to respond to citizens' needs. Drawing on 58 focus groups, 24 key informant interviews, and t

The rise of scientific inquiry focusing on bilingualism over the past few decades has also borne witness to an increase in the study of individuals and communities who speak a native language that is not the sociolinguistically dominant language of the environment in which they grew up. While it is common practice to refer to these diverse groups and individuals as “heritage speakers”, it is uncle

This article is based on a keynote presentation at the 12th Nordic Congress in General Practice in Trondheim, Norway in September 2002. The aim was to demonstrate the strengths and limitations of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in a primary healthcare setting. The presentation comprised two separate lectures discussing an authentic case history from everyday practice that had been presented to the a
