This thesis investigates quantum dynamics induced in atoms by ultrashort pulses of light. The work is motivated by recent developments in free-electron lasers, which generate ultrashort pulses of intense, coherent light and enable coherent control of quantum dynamics. We develop theoretical models to study the processes of absorption and emission in laser-atom interactions. Additionally, we study
The increasing demand for advances in efficient electrochemical (EC) energy conversion requires a fundamental understanding of the EC interface, which is challenging to study in situ. High-resolution ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in combination with an EC cell, has been used in a dip-and-pull approach to study the EC oxidation of a Au(111) model electrode during oxidation and
Elucidating the spatiotemporal dynamics and primary controls of flow and sediment processes (FSP) is essential for sustainable water-soil resource management in inland river basins within agro-pastoral ecotones (IRB-APE). This study refined the Soil and Water Assessment Tool with a time-segmented dynamic parameter adjustment strategy to simulate runoff and sediment dynamics under varying radiative
Ptychography with an extreme ultraviolet high harmonic source has emerged as a key technique for non-destructive microscopic imaging. However, achieving both high resolution and a large field of view in ptychographic imaging necessitates long scan times and vast data volumes. Here, we report a wavelength-multiplexed multi-beam ptychography that fully leverages the intrinsic spectral discreteness o
Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is treated with shunt surgery, but long-term monitoring of shunt function and complications remains challenging. Traditional radiological measures such as the Evans index lack sensitivity for detecting subtle longitudinal ventricular changes. Ventricular volumetry may provide a more precise method, but prospective long-term data are scarc
P-wave indices derived from the surface electrocardiogram are increasingly used as markers of atrial cardiomyopathy and predictors of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Their widespread adoption has been driven by automated ECG analysis, enabling large-scale studies and integration into clinical workflows. However, this expansion has occurred without sufficient scrutiny of the methodological assumpti
The impact of salvage radiotherapy (SRT) on overall survival (OS) in patients experiencing biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer remains an area of active investigation. The international multicenter PROMISE registry provides a valuable dataset to explore the association between SRT and long-term clinical outcomes in this patient population (NCT06320223). Methods: Comprehensive restaging
Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a central mediator in migraine and an endogenous vasodilator in the trigeminovascular system. Its role in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), remains uncertain, particularly in patients receiving CGRP-targeted migraine therapy at the time of hemorrhage. This study examined whether CGRP blockade administered shortly before experimental SAH affects ou
Malvina Kummu, ombudsman på Sveriges universitetslärare och forskare (SULF), intervjuar Anders Kjellberg (sociologiska institutionen, Lunds universitet) om den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. Han varnar för "den dubbla nedgången", att både den fackliga organisationsgraden (andelen anställda som är med i facket) och andelen medlemmar som har ett fackligt förtroendeuppdrag på sin arbetsplats i de fl
Recombining regions of sex chromosomes, pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), are essential for proper segregation of the sex chromosome pair during meiosis. Yet, the evolutionary dynamics of PARs remain poorly understood, particularly in relation to chromosomal translocation and fusion events. Using comparative analyses of enlarged neo-sex chromosomes across Sylvioidea songbirds, we show that the ances
Preparation for Reuse (PfR) encompasses activities such as reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and repurposing, occupying a priority position within the waste management hierarchy by enabling the extension of the useful life of products and materials with lower additional consumption of resources and energy when compared to recycling and energy recovery. Despite its relevance, PfR remai
Wild insect pollinators contribute significantly to agricultural productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Wild pollinators are increasingly affected by multiple interacting stressors. Proactively identifying emerging risks and feasible mitigation strategies will be critical to ensuring the long-term stability of wild pollinators biodiversity and pollination services. We conducted the
Dissipative sensors typically use linear resonators with impedance matching to achieve maximal signal and fast operation. The impedance matching, however, sets an upper limit to the bandwidth of the readout. In this paper, we present a nonlinear resonator performing the readout of a double quantum dot charge state via a charge-sensing quantum dot. We show that by driving the resonator in the nonli
This research seeks to identify critical factors that influence the success to implementing design thinking in the prototype design process within SMEs clusters in developing countries like Bolivia. The determinants of design thinking implementation are generally underexplored, therefore exhibiting its innovative point and contributing to the relevant debate in the field of design, as well as orga
BACKGROUND: In 2022, the Swedish Women's Elite Ice Hockey League (SDHL) became the first women's league to introduce bodychecking. Using insurance data, this study examined injury incidence before and after the implementation of this rule.METHOD: Since 2019, the SDHL has comprised 10 teams with 20-25 players on each. All players in SDHL have license insurance to take care of ice hockey injuries. A
In 2022, the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) became the first women's league in the world to allow body checking. This study examines injury epidemiology in SDHL 2 years after this policy change. Injuries resulting in time loss from training or games were recorded in a digital injury-reporting system. This study utilizes game-related injuries that occurred during the seasons 2022-2023 and 202
What defines “Gnosticism” articulated in contemporary Swedish podcasting? Rather than presuming the stability of a theological concept, this explorative study gesture toward a theoretical shift in analysis from origin or tradition to a digital reception. Gnosticism functions here as an encoded resource that circulates across epistemic territories, it is claimed, where meaning emerges through medi
