Optical Investigations of Nano-LEDs Based on Submicron-Sized III-Nitride Platelets

A study of submicron-sized InGaN containing a single quantum well, intended for use as nano-light-emitting diodes in high-resolution display based on direct emission, is presented. Herein, the structures are grown by a bottom-up method from holes in a masked GaN/sapphire substrate and are intended for red emission. Many of the platelets show dark lines in cathodoluminescence images, previously ide

Vague Disagreements : Vagueness Without Arbitrary Stipulation

According to Ruth Chang (2002, 2022), incommensurability in hard cases cannot be cases of vagueness. This is because vagueness, unlike hard cases, can always be resolved by arbitrary stipulation, leaving no resolutional remainder or substantive disagreement. Contrary to this, I argue that Chang’s argument fails because proponents of the vagueness view are in no way necessarily committed to the cla

Impact of excess sugar on the whole genome DNA methylation pattern in human sperm

AIMS, PATIENTS & METHODS: Dietary factors may regulate the epigenome. We aimed to explore whether a diet intervention, including excess sugar, affects the methylome in human sperm, and to describe the sperm methylome. We used Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) to analyze DNA methylation in sperm taken at three time points from 15 males during a diet intervention; i) at baseline, ii) afte

The limited impact of indeterminacy for healthcare rationing : how indeterminacy problems show the need for a hybrid theory, but nothing more

A notorious debate in the ethics of healthcare rationing concerns whether to address rationing decisions with substantial principles or with a procedural approach. One major argument in favour of procedural approaches is that substantial principles are indeterminate so that we can reasonably disagree about how to apply them. To deal with indeterminacy, we need a just decision process. In this pape

Multilingualism and Chomsky’s Generative Grammar

Like Einstein's general theory of relativity is concerned with explaining the basics of an observable experience – i.e., gravity – most people take for granted that Chomsky's theory of generative grammar (GG) is concerned with the basic nature of language. This chapter highlights a mere subset of central constructs in GG, showing how they have featured prominently and thus shaped formal linguistic

Arbetets och försörjningens utmarker

Alla människor behöver en försörjning, vilket för majoriteten innebär att de måste arbeta. Men med vad, på vilket sätt, i vilka sociala former och hur mycket människor arbetar har varierat. Varje tid och varje samhälle har sina normer och ideal om hur folk förväntas försörja sig och vad som räknas som ett riktigt arbete. Och där det finns normer finns det också normbrott.Denna antologi handlar om

Evaluation of a portable OSL/IRSL reader for radiation dose assessment of NaCl pellets – In situ individualised screening during R/N emergencies

Household salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl), has been suggested as an appropriate material for retrospective and prospective optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation dosimetry. The current paper investigates the potential application of NaCl pellets during a radiological and/or nuclear emergency, together with an existing portable reader, for application as a novel tool for in situ screening o

Orbital analysis of stars in the nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way

Context. While orbital analysis studies were so far mainly focused on the Galactic halo, it is possible now to do these studies in the heavily obscured region close to the Galactic Centre. Aims. We aim to do a detailed orbital analysis of stars located in the nuclear stellar disc (NSD) of the Milky Way allowing us to trace the dynamical history of this structure. Methods. We integrated orbits of t

Five biomarkers from one cerebrospinal fluid sample to stage Alzheimer’s disease

Staging Alzheimer’s disease on the basis of the disease’s biological underpinnings might help with stratification and prognostication, both in the clinical setting and in clinical trials. We propose a staging model based on only five biomarkers, which are related to amyloid-β and tau pathologies in different ways and can be measured with a single sample of cerebrospinal fluid.

AGREE II Quality Assessment of National and International Clinical Practice Guidelines on Prostate Cancer Management by the OPTIMA Consortium

Background and objective: Clinical practice guidelines for prostate cancer (PCa) are a valuable resource for everyday clinical practice. The clinical practice guidelines and recommendations produced by various societies should demonstrate a considerable level of consistency in terms of quality, regardless of the society that developed these given the common evidence base. However, to date, no stud
