Molecular dynamic simulations of defect nano-sized beams of single-crystal Cu, loaded in displacement controlled tension until rupture, have been performed. The defects are square-shaped, through-the-thickness voids of different sizes, placed centrally in the beams. Three different cross section sizes and two different crystallographic orientations are investigated. As expected, the sizes of the b
This paper aims to reconstruct widely accepted concepts of the top-down authoritarian nature of Central Asian politics in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan through a comparative study of the pro-democratic movements that emerged in the late 1980s. By analysing data from interviews with the cultural elites of the late Soviet perestroika period and data on the indigenous nationalist movements such as Erk, Z
The Soviet canonisation of Abai, the nineteenth-century Kazakh poet and enlightener became a problematic theme for local intellectuals in the 2010s after the Occupy Abai movement in Moscow raised concerns over the heritage of Abai as a Sovietised canon and as an independent non-Soviet thinker. In 2012 oppositional leaders in Russia occupied Abai monument in Moscow and the leader of the opposition

SLF’s vårexkursion gick till trakterna av Kumla och Örebro med Mikael Hagström som arrangör. En god skara människor hade slutit upp och trotsade de initialt urusla vädret, men som tur var bättrade det sig. Med på exkursionen var Martin Westberg, Samantha Fernandez Brime, Ulf Arup, Emil Persson, Sten Svantesson, Stefan Ekman, Linnea Eide-Ekman, Måns Svensson, Lovisa Fogelberg, Ola Hammarström, JespSLF’s vårexkursion gick till trakterna av Kumla och Örebro med Mikael Hagström som arrangör.

Many engineers and scientists prevalently use computational tools in electromagnetics, which is also the predominant case for antennas. The ever-increasing number of applications and technologies that employ antennas create a constant demand to improve and extend existing tools and develop new ones. This dissertation investigates computational tools for antenna analysis and design. Antenna current
This review summarizes the involvement of vitamin K and the extrahepatic Gla proteins matrix Gla protein (MGP), Os-teocalcin (OC) and growth arrest-specific gene 6 protein (Gas6) in the development and progression of diabetes: in particular, complications related to angiopathy and inflammation. High vitamin K intake has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Rapporten presenterar en kartläggning av satsningar på elbuss i svenska och europeiska städer. Genomgången visar på stor bredd för elbussprojekten i Sverige och Europa. Det finns dock vissa gemensamma nämnare. Kommuner och regioner är den aktör som är mest aktiv och främst driver fram elbussprojekten. Ett stort antal busstillverkare är med och levererar elbussar, medan bussoperatörer inte är lika
Introduction: The synergism of infection with conventional cardiovascular risk factors in early life atherosclerosis is much debated. We hypothesized that coronary arterial injury correlates with infection recurrence and pathogen burden, and is further aggravated by hypercholesterolemia. Methods: Forty-two Go ̈ ttingen minipigs were assigned to repeated intra-tracheal inoculation of either saline,
Background: This prospective study focuses on factors associated with arterial damage in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Materials and Methods: Eighty children and adolescents with T1D (mean age 15, range: 8-20 yrs; mean diabetes duration 7, range: 0.5 to 19 years) were investigated twice, approximately 2 years apart, for carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) and compliance (CAC), flow
