III-V semiconductors are a profound part of the optoelectronics industry and new developments in alloy compositions and architectures are constantly emerging. Lowdimensional semiconductors, such as nanowires (NWs) have shown to have improved characteristics in certain areas such as enhanced light absorption and can furthermore be integrated on Silicon (Si) plattforms and are thus predicted to be a
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D
We live in an increasingly individualistic society where involuntary loneliness, especially among older adults, has become a growing issue. In Sweden, where single-person households are common, many seniors, particularly those over 65 who live alone, report feeling lonely. At the same time, children are growing up with limited contact with older generations, as everyday interactions between age gr
Att kunna identifiera outnyttjad byggrätt är en angelägenhet hos såväl privata som offentliga aktörer. För privata aktörer uppstår detta behov exempelvis vid nybyggnadsprojekt och för offentliga kan ett annat behov istället vara att ha bättre koll på sin planberedskap. Att söka och beräkna byggrätten manuellt kan ta tid och för privata aktörer kan detta även leda till missade möjligheter. Ett digiBeing able to identify unused development rights is of interest for both private and public actors. For private actors, this need arises, for example, in new construction projects, and for public actors, another need may instead be to have better control over their planning readiness. Searching and calculating development rights manually can be time consuming and for private actors this can also l
This study assesses the effectiveness of post-classification change detection for monitoring land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics across West Africa between 2000 and 2013. Using publicly available maps from the USGS West Africa Land Cover dataset, the original 25-class scheme was reclassified into 8 generalized land cover categories to allow for a more interpretable change analysis. A pixel-wis
What happens when the infrastructure designed to connect a city ends up dividing it instead? This thesis investigates the relationship between urban mobility and spatial justice, examining how roads, railways, and transit corridors generate barriers that are not only physical but social and cultural: separating communities, limiting access to opportunity, and reinforcing patterns of inequality ins
The full Holocene development of the large (8100 km(2)) Vatnajokull ice cap in Iceland with its many outlet glaciers is poorly known. The idea of an early deglaciation, leading to a glacier-free period in mid-Holocene, followed by the Neoglaciation is still the main concept for the glacial history in the North Atlantic region, including Iceland. We have examined a continuous sediment record from t
Background: Alcohol use disorders (AUD) involving hazardous, harmful, and addictive misuse of alcohol are widespread in most parts of the world. The aim of this study was to review the effect of disulfiram in the treatment of patients with AUD. The effect of disulfiram was evaluated according to the primary outcome of an intake of alcohol below 30 and 20 g/d for men and women, respectively, as we
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary factor in the cervical cancer development. Also after treatment for cervical dysplasia, HPV can be present and promote the recurrence of cervical disease. In the present study, the aim was to perform a long-term follow-up on the ability of HPV testing with genotyping, as compared with cytology, to predict recurrence of high-grade cervical intraep
One of the challenges in the field of biosensors and biofuel cells is to establish a highly efficient electron transfer rate between the active site of redox enzymes and electrodes to fully access the catalytic potential of the biocatalyst and achieve high current densities. We report on very efficient direct electron transfer (DET) between cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Phanerochaete sordida
ObjectivePediatric cancer patients are at increased risk for sleep disturbances; however, there are no clinical practice guidelines for treating sleep disturbances in pediatric oncology, resulting in variable approaches to sleep management across clinicians. The current study surveyed clinicians regarding their approaches to assessing and treating sleep.MethodsA total of 200 pediatric oncology cli
Background: Chronic pain in children can significantly impact daily functioning. While interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation is the recommended treatment, it is resource-intensive and limited in availability. Therefore, children with more complex symptoms, classified as High Impact Chronic Pain (HICP), need to be prioritized for interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation. However, HICP in children has
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pain as a long-term outcome following rectal cancer treatment has received limited attention in previous studies. This prospective cohort study examined pain prevalence up to 5 years post-surgery in patients treated with curative intent. Secondary aims included evaluating pain intensity and its interference with daily life, and comparing pain experiences with a reference po
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of incomplete surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with intraoperative rupture of capsulated stage I epithelial ovarian cancer (OvCa). METHODS: A regional retrospective study was conducted between 1986 and 2019. Among 4,730 patients with malignant ovarian tumors, 534 women with International Federation of
This doctoral thesis explores the phenomenon of choice awareness through an interdisciplinary framework grounded in cognitive semiotics. Combining phenomenological philosophy with empirical investigations, the thesis examines how awareness of choice manifests across different levels of consciousness and within diverse semiotic systems. Papers 1 to 3 present experimental studies using choice manipu
The interface between two semiconductors strongly influences the optical and electronic properties of the interface. The type-II interface is characterized by a staggered band alignment, where both valence and conduction band edges in one material are above their counterparts in the other material. A type-II band alignment is formed at the interface between wz and zb segments in homomaterial InP n
Increased population longevity could be influenced by early life factors. Some areas have long-lived populations, also in a historical perspective. We aimed to study these factors in Halland, an area with the highest life expectancy in Sweden. We collected archival data on gestational age and birth characteristics from 995 live singleton full-term births at the Halmstad Hospital, Halland, from the
X-ray diffraction is an invaluable tool in the field of structural dynamics. In the work described in this thesis, time-resolved X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out to investigate ultrafast lattice dynamics. Ultrashort laser pulses were used to induce non-thermal melting and large-amplitude strain waves, and X-rays were used to probe these phenomena. Non-thermal melting was studied in i

Two-dimensional Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (2D RPPs) have been considered as promising building blocks for optoelectronic applications owing to optical properties comparable to the ones of 3D perovskites, together with superior stability. In addition, the more flexible structure adopted by such perovskites leads to a relaxation of the Goldschmidt tolerance factor (τ) requirement. Herein, we com
