A key policy question is whether continued expansion of university education is beneficial for the marginally eligible student. In this paper we exploit an arbitrary university eligibility rule combined with regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of university attendance on healthcare utilization amongst young adults in Sweden. We find that the eligibility rule leads to a cl
In this paper, the investment in new desalination capacity, expressed as daily production capacity, was studied as a function of oil production and population increase for a large group of countries for the last 25 years. These countries were selected for their large desalination production and Sweden presented as reference. Oil production correlated well with investments in new desalination capac
When Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is used in clinical studies, statistical hypothesis testing is the standard approach to establish significant differences between groups, such as patients and healthy controls. However, diffusion tensors contain six degrees of freedom, and the most commonly used univariate tests reduce them to a single scalar, such as Fractional Anisotropy. Multivariate tests th
Background: Managing acute abdominal pain in the large and growing population of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)–operated patients poses a challenge to general surgeons, because of diagnostic limitations and the risk of internal herniation. Objective: To investigate the diagnoses, management, and outcome of RYGB patients admitted for acute abdominal pain. Setting: University Hospital, Sweden. Meth
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on the depolarization associated with severe hypoglycemia, which is commonly preceded by one or a few transient depolarizations reminiscent of cortical spreading depression (CSD). In the cerebral cortices of rats [K+](e) and [Ca2+](e) were measured with ion-selective microelectrodes. NMD
Lignin is the second most abundant naturally produced organic polymer on earth. Lignin‐modifying enzymes (LMEs) are produced by the white‐rot fungi as products of secondary metabolism, since lignin degradation does not provide any energy to the fungus. The main oxidative enzymes include the peroxidases‐lignin peroxidase (LiP) (diarylpropane: oxygen, hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase), manganese per
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to enhance the heat transfer and thermal performance in the trailing edge region of the vane with vortex generators (VGs). Design/methodology/approach: This numerical study presents the enhancement of thermal performance in the trailing part of a gas turbine blade. In the trailing part, generally, pin fins are used either in staggered or in-line arrangements t
The focus of this chapter is the conversations with parents that were conducted during the project "Opportunities for preschool in a migrating world". The background for the conversations with parents lies in the preschool staff's perception that what makes their particular approach unique and valuable depends on the time and care they put into contact with the parents. Several aspects of the sec
Treatment of depression is hampered by the failure to identify distinct symptom profiles with distinct pathophysiologies that differentially respond to distinct treatments. We posit that inflammatory depression is a meaningful depression subtype associated with specific symptoms and biological abnormalities. We review several upstream, potentially causative, mechanisms driving low-grade inflammati
This article considers some of the issues presented during a Swedish International Fiscal Association(IFA) branch seminar held in December 2020 arising from the implementation by the EU Member Statesof the contemplated OECD Pillar One and Pillar Two rules based on the Blueprint of October 2020.Additionally, the article addresses comments issued by the Biden administration on possible progress onth
To meet the demands of high electrical efficiencies in combination with low emissions for gas turbine-based power plants, wet cycles have gained new interest. The combustion chamber is a key component in such a power plant. Detailed investigations are necessary to gain insight into the formation of hazardous emissions such as CO and NOx. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been e
The increasing semiconductor functionality relies on more complex integrated circuits with higher component densities. Miniaturisation and its implications on resource consumption in semiconductor facilities have been fairly well explored in a number of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies, which show that, in spite of the growing product complexity, resource intensities per product unit are gradua
A critical comparison of two mid 19th century versions of the story of As’ad al-Shidyâq, a young Maronite who became the first Protestant sympathiser in Lebanon; the first version written by an American missionary (Isaac Bird), the second by a Lebanese intellectual (Butrus al-Bustani) who became a Protestant. The comparison reveals differences between expatriate and indigenous perceptions of Prote
In this paper, we investigate the importance of taking frequency-dependent temporal phenomena into account in audio coding. We do this in the context of sinusoidal modeling of audio signals by applying amplitude modulation to the sinusoidal components. Traditionally, audio coders use a fixed time-segmentation for all frequencies despite that it is well-known that the time-frequency resolution of t
Examples from Czech and Swedish conversations illustrate how conversationalists use quotations when they define their own identity and when they speak about the identity of the others. The analysis is based on Tannens concept of constructed dialogue where direct quotation is seen as the creation of the speaker rather than the party quoted. The results indicate that quotations can be used strategic
Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt levande består till stor del av proteiner. De bygger upp muskler och hår, transporterar syre i blodet och ser till att kemin i kroppen fungerar som den ska. Men hur tillverkas då dessa proteiner? Jo i alla celler finns ribosomer, proteinfabriker. En bakterieribosom är ungefär 0.02 mikrometer stor. Den är sammansatt av proteiner och RNA-kedjor. RNA utgör den funktioTranslation is a central biological process, that is catalysed by a machinery consisting of RNA and protein. In this thesis three different protein components of the bacterial protein synthesis system have been structurally studied. Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) is essential for the recycling step of the translation cycle, elongation factor SelB is a specialised elongation factor needed for co-t
