The transition to post-quantum cryptography is well underway. Driven by the recognition that Shor's algorithm would render all widely deployed asymmetric cryptosystems insecure in the presence of a sufficiently capable quantum computer, the cryptographic community has spent the past decade designing, evaluating, and standardizing a new generation of public-key primitives. In 2024, ML-KEM became th
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to give an overview of recent advances in the clinical management of children <18 years of age with end-stage pulmonary hypertension refractory to conventional medical therapy.RECENT FINDINGS/SUMMARY: The increased awareness and characterization of pediatric pulmonary vascular disease has amounted more data toward creating an accurate, and comprehensive, risk pr
Through WTO membership, a large number of countries are parties to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, also known as TRIPs. The strongest form of IP protection is the patent, which grants a number of valuable exclusive rights when the criteria for patentability have been met. Patents are often claimed to be a means for inventors to regain the expenses they may h
Capital movement in the world has great impact on economies. Remittances to developing countries are today seen as an important channel for economic growth in less developed countries (LDCs). The purpose of this thesis is to examine migration and remittances to and from the Philippines. Questions of particular interest are whether there are any patterns in migration or remittances in the Philippin
I dagens samhälle används geografiska analyser i stor uträckning som verktyg för att hjälpa till vid beslutsfattning. Det är viktigt att sådana geografiska analyser håller en god kvalitet för att resultatet ska kunna representera verkliga förhållanden. Kvalitetsgranskning av geografiska data är vanligt och flera standarder har tagits fram som beskriver hur geografiska data ska insamlas och kvaliteGeographical analysis is increasingly used in decision making processess. It is therefore very important that such analysis is performed with a satisfying quality, so that the results can be used as a representative model of reality. Quality descriptions of spatial data are common and several standards have been developed that describes how spatial data should be gathered and quality assured. Less
Detta är en kandidatuppsats skriven vid Lunds Universitet i samarbete med E.ON Vind Sverige AB. Uppsatsen är en studie i hur det omgivande landskapet påverkar vindklimatet på en specifik plats. För att undersöka teorin om landskapets påverkan på vinden har tre olika mätmaster valts ut: en placerad i havet, en på slättland och en i skogsmiljö. Samtliga är landskapstyper representerade inom den svenThis is a bachelor thesis written at Lund University in cooperation with E.ON Vind Sverige AB. The thesis is a study that investigates how the surrounding landscape affects the wind climate at a specific site. The wind data used comes from three different met masts situated in the ocean, on plain land and in woodland respectively. The wind analysis is based on five parameters: turbulence intensity
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: GIS som ett redskap för att se in i en möjlig framtid. Teknikutvecklingen har gått framåt med enorma steg under de senaste årtiondena. Forskningen inom luftföroreningar och ämnenas hälsoeffekter har dragit nytta av dessa framsteg bland annat genom användandet av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS). GIS är ett datorbaserat program som används för att ge rumslig The main purpose of this thesis is to look at in what different ways GIS, Geographic Information System, is used in the study of air pollution and also in the study of how air pollutions affect human health. Interest was focused on four different pollutions, because of their damage to humans. The background to why so many studies are conducted on the distribution of air pollution concentrations is
Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce a law that criminalized the buyer of sexual services but not the seller. The aim of this study is to contribute with an understanding of how female sex workers rights are being affected by the Swedish sex purchase law. To reach a conclusion, the author of this thesis tries to sort out which norms, beliefs, attitudes and/or values that are hidd
Slash fiction was once a marginalized genre, but with the coming of Internet it is now growing larger; one example of this is the expanding popularity of the Harry Potter fandom. With the rising popularity comes a flourishing discussion on the subject, often leading to interesting and inventive ideas from the slash community. Our interest in the phenomenon of slash fiction, in which existing fict
In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave this reflection, Narcissus died. Doctor Faustus was, in both Marlowe’s and Goethe’s version, a highly successful scholar who makes a deal with the devil. The devil gets Faustus’ soul in exchange for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The young, beautiful Dorian Gray rea
Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can result in joint instability, decreased functional performance, reduced physical activity and quality of life and an increased risk for post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Despite the development of new treatment techniques and extensive research, the complex and multifaceted nature of ACL injury and its consequences are yet to be fully understood
Differences in the elemental abundances of planet-hosting stars in binary systems can give important clues and constraints about planet formation and evolution. In this study we performed a high-precision, differential elemental abundance analysis of a wide binary system, HD 80606/80607, based on high-resolution spectra with high signal-to-noise ratio obtained with Keck/HIRES. HD 80606 is known to
Cyclical heat engines are a paradigm of classical thermodynamics, but are impractical for miniaturization because they rely on moving parts. A more recent concept is particle-exchange (PE) heat engines, which uses energy filtering to control a thermally driven particle flow between two heat reservoirs1,2. As they do not require moving parts and can be realized in solid-state materials, they are su
