Solvent-induced physical hydrogels of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (OCNFs) were obtained from aqueous/alcoholic dispersions of fibrils in lower alcohols, namely, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol. The sol-gel transition occurs above a critical alcohol concentration of ca. 30 wt% for all alcohols tested. The rheological properties of the hydrogels depend on the nature of the alco
Background: Failed management of unanticipated difficult airway situations contributes to significant anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Optimization of design and layout of difficult airway trolleys (DATs) may influence outcomes during airway emergencies. The main objective of the current study was to evaluate whether a difficult airway algorithm-based DAT with integrated cognitive aids
A novel mechanism of heat-triggered gelation for oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) is reported. We demonstrate that a synergistic approach combining rheology, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and saturation transfer difference NMR (STD NMR) experiments enables a detailed characterisation of gelation at different length scales. OCNF dispersions experience an increase in solid-like behaviour

För att uppfylla våra syften genomfördes en kvalitativ studie där det hölls intervjuer med elva olika personer som jobbar med nedskrivningsprövningen på tio olika företag. Den teoretiska referensramen består av de bakomliggande stand
Sulfur-doped titania thin films with cubic mesostructures were prepared by dip coating via the evaporation induced self-assembly route. The effect of sulfur doping on structure, morphology, porosity, optical properties, and photocatalytic activity of the mesoporous films was studied. Compared to undoped titania films, the S-doped films showed better long-range ordering, bigger pore size, higher po
Conventional atomistic computer simulations, involving perhaps up to 106 atoms, can achieve length-scales on the order of a few 10s of nm. Yet many heterogeneous systems, such as colloids, nano-structured materials, or biological systems, can involve correlations over distances up 100s of nm, perhaps even 1 μm in some instances. For such systems it is necessary to invoke coarse-graining, where sin
As structural components of the glycocalyx, heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are involved in multiple pathophysiological processes at the apex of cell signaling cascades, and as endocytosis receptors for particle structures, such as lipoproteins, extracellular vesicles, and enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Given their diversity and complex biogenesis regulation, HSPGs remain understud
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), with an emphasis on risk aggregation, is conducted in practice. The thesis starts with a scoping study to review available literature on ERM. The findings from the scoping study show that literature focus on how ERM impacts certain financial variables, e.g. return on assets, return on equity, and firm value of organ
Förmögenhetsforum ger käranden möjlighet att föra talan där svaranden har egendom. Denna typ av forum ger i teorin ett lands domstolar mycket bred jurisdiktion att pröva internationella tvister, även om tvisten inte har någon särskild anknytning till landet. Uppsatsen jämför förmögenhetsforum i Sverige och Danmark genom att analysera ländernas lagstiftning och praxis på området. Syftet med jämförAsset forum gives the plaintiff the ability to pursue litigation where the defendant has assets. In theory, this type of forum gives a country’s courts a very wide jurisdiction in international disputes, even if the case has no con-nection to the country. The essay compares asset forum in Sweden and Denmark by analysing legislation and case law in both countries. The purpose of the comparison is
Det familjerättsliga behovet av ekonomiskt skydd är den främsta orsaken till den i praxis skapade rättsfiguren dold samäganderätt. Med hänsyn till den speciella gemenskap som uppstår i ett äktenskap eller samboförhållande kan det ses som en naturlig utgångspunkt att egendom som inköpts för gemensamt bruk av den ene, med bidrag från den andre, ska ägas gemensamt. Den dolda samäganderättens konstrThe need for economic protection in family law is the main reason for the cre-ated concept of hidden co-ownership in case law. Given the special communi-ty that arises in a marriage or cohabitation relationship, it can be seen as a nat-ural starting point that property purchased for joint use by one person, with contributions from the other, should be owned jointly. The construction of hidden co-o
Sverige upplever just nu en form av revitalisering av näringslivet i de nordliga delarna av landet, de stora fyndigheterna av naturresurser och bil-lig elektricitet är bidragande faktorer till detta. Detta stora intresse av att etablera verksamheter i kombination med den nedåtgående trenden som många kommuner upplever leder till en svår avvägning. Kommunerna ska samtidigt som de främjar ekonomisk Sweden is experiencing an increased demand for its natural resources in the northern part of the country. Combining this with a low cost of electric-ity it comes as no surprise that many municipalities are hoping to renew their economic growth by attracting investors. This is much needed as many municipalities are facing a downward spiral consisting of a low birth-rate combined with an aging popul
Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i säkerhetsrådets paralys till följd av vetorätten i relation till Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022. På flera håll i den internationella debatten hörs kritiska röster angående säkerhetsrådets, och därmed i praktiken hela FN:s, passivitet till följd av säkerhetsrådet oförmåga att agera i enlighet med sin befogenhet enligt framför allt FN-stadgans kapitel sju. The background and the main question of this essay derives from the paraly-sis of the Security Council as a result of the use of the veto in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In the international discussion, critical voices have been raised against the Security Council's and thus the entire UN's inefficacy following the Security Council’s inability to act in accordance w
Detta arbete behandlar frågan om straffreduktion vid flerfaldig brottslighet. Asperationsprincipen är den princip som tillämpas i svensk rätt vid flerfaldig brottslighet. Principen ges betydelse vid två skilda tillfällen i påföljdsbestämningen. Den används vid såväl utformningen av en gemensam straffskala som vid straffvärdebedömningen. Enligt principen graderar man brotten i svårighetsgrad där maThis essay analyzes penalty reduction in case of multiple crimes. The asperation principle is the principle that is used in Swedish law in the case of multiple crimes. The principle is given importance on two separate occasions in the penalty determination. It is used both in the construction of a joint penalty scale and in the penalty value assessment. According to the principle, the crimes are g
Uppsatsen syftar till att problematisera synen på autism i inom gällande rätt om tvångsvård i Sverige. Enligt Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) 3§ får unga tvångsomhändertas för “socialt nedbrytande beteende”, som syftar på beteende som bryter mot samhällets grundläggande normer. Ett undantag till detta är om beteendet är ett “uttryck för deras psykiska störning”, vilkThe essay aims to problematize the view of autism in Sweden's law of compulsory care. According to The Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) 3§, young people can be forced into custody for “socially destructive behavior,” which refers to the destruction of fundamental social norms. An exception to this is if the behavior is a “symptom of a mental disorder,” including autism. The essay looks at judgm
In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die. Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigated the effect of the caspase inhibitor acetyl-tyrosinyl-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-chloromethylketone (Ac-YVAD-cmk) on In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die.

UNLABELLED: Lymphedema is a chronic, debilitating disease that has been described as the largest breast cancer survivorship burden. Debulking surgery has been shown to improve extremity volume, improve patient quality of life, and decrease the incidence of cellulitis in the literature. This procedure is routinely covered in numerous other developed countries, yet it is still inconsistently covered
Fysiska och juridiska personer är i någon form av förhållande med varandra baserat på olika omständigheter. När två parter är oense om en fråga vill de givetvis lösa situationen på något sätt. Denna lösning ligger för många hos statliga domstolar där den ena parten stämmer den andra parten vid tingsrätten som första instans. I vissa tänkta utfall är förhållandet baserat på ett avtal som parterna Natural and legal persons are in some form of relationship with each other based on different circumstances. When two parties disagree about an issue, they naturally want to resolve the situation in some way. For many, this solution lies with state courts where one party sues the other party at the district court as first instance. In some scenarios, the relationship is based on a contract that t
