An efficient system matrix factorization method for scanning diffraction based strain tensor tomography

Diffraction-based tomographic strain tensor reconstruction problems in which a strain tensor field is determined from measurements made in different crystallographic directions are considered in the context of sparse matrix algebra. Previous work has shown that the estimation of the crystal elastic strain field can be cast as a linear regression problem featuring a computationally involved assembl

Det blå cykel-cafét - En plats i rörelse

I södra utkanten av Lomma, längs den långgrunda bukten sträcker sig Öresundsparken. En kort promenad från Alnarp mellan böljande fält. På andra sidan svänger Malmövägen över landskapet. Bakom fyra upprätta flaggstänger ligger ett ljusblått vägcafé. Skylten finns kvar men fönstren är igenspikade. Verksamheten satt på paus. Mellan plattsättningen börjar smala björkar tränga upp. Ljudet av svischandeOn the southern side of Lomma, along the dunes in the shallow bay, stretches Öresundsparken. A short walk from Alnarp between fields waving in the wind. On the other side, Malmövägen makes its way along the coast. Behind four upright flagpoles lies a bright blue road cafe. The sign is still there but the windows are all closed off. Between the tiles, slim birches are beginning to grow. The sound o

Fluorescence Microscopy of Nanochannel-Confined DNA

Stretching of DNA in nanoscale confinement allows for several important studies. The genetic contents of the DNA can be visualized on the single DNA molecule level, and the polymer physics of confined DNA and also DNA/protein and other DNA/DNA-binding molecule interactions can be explored. This chapter describes the basic steps to fabricate the nanostructures, perform the experiments, and analyze

Mirroring the Masses? A Cross-National Comparison of Civil Society Elite Composition

This chapter explores the composition of civil society elites and to what extent this differs from the general population, what we call the ‘civil society elite-masses gap’. While the civil society elites are, from a normative point of view, expected to be representative of the general population in terms of their social composition and attitudes, professionalisation and elitisation of civil socie

Introduction: Advancing a New Research Agenda on Digital Disruption in Diplomacy

This article introduces the special issue on digital disruption in diplomacy. We propose a new research agenda, advancing novel conceptualisations and empirical insights into the hybrid nature of contemporary diplomatic practices in a broad range of areas such as peace-making, inter-state signalling, domestic politics, digital communication, public diplomacy and popular culture. Emphasising the ma

Efficient Time-of-Arrival Self-Calibration using Source Implicitization

In this paper we revisit the Time-of-Arrival self-calibration problem. In particular we focus on imbalanced problem instances where there are significantly more sources compared to the number of receivers, which is a common configuration in real applications. Using an implicit representation, we are able to re-parameterize the sensor node self-calibration problem using only the parameters of the r

Serine racemase modulation for improving brain insulin resistance : An Editorial Highlight for “Deletion of serine racemase reverses neuronal insulin signaling inhibition by amyloid-β oligomers”

This Editorial highlights an interesting study in the current issue of the Journal of Neurochemistry in which Zhou et al. report new data showing that the ablation of serine racemase increases local insulin production in neurons of the hippocampus. The authors explored some of the possible mechanisms mediating the interaction between dampening production of D-serine and the local synthesis of insu

Modification of purinergic signaling in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Diabetic encephalopathy is a recognized complication of untreated diabetes resulting in a progressive cognitive impairment accompanied by modification of hippocampal function. The purinergic system is a promising novel target to control diabetic encephalopathy since it might simultaneously control hippocampal synaptic plasticity and glucose handling. We now tested whether streptozotocin-induced di

Stochastic Geometry Analysis of a New GSCM with Dual Visibility Regions

The geometry-based stochastic channel models (GSCM), which can describe realistic channel impulse responses, often rely on the existence of both local and far scatterers. However, their visibility from both the base station (BS) and mobile station (MS) depends on their relative heights and positions. For example, the condition of visibility of a scatterer from the perspective of a BS is different

Improving rates of successful extubation : Medications

This chapter focuses on the pharmacological management of newborn infants in the peri-extubation period to reduce the risk of re-intubation and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Drugs used to promote respiratory drive, reduce the risk of apnoea, reduce lung inflammation and avoid bronchospasm are critically assessed. When available, Cochrane reviews and randomised trials are used as the primary so

Room to Grow and the Right to Say No: Theorizing the Liberatory Power of Peace in the Global South

This article builds on feminist and decolonial perspectives and engages with political geography literature to rethink the way that peace and violence are understood in the Global South. Building peace that is coherent with planetary and ecological limits and that does not further direct structural violence necessitates breaking with the extractivist model of development that benefits growth and a

Study of the p–p–K + and p–p–K - dynamics using the femtoscopy technique

The interactions of kaons (K) and antikaons (K ¯) with few nucleons (N) were studied so far using kaonic atom data and measurements of kaon production and interaction yields in nuclei. Some details of the three-body KNN and K ¯ NN dynamics are still not well understood, mainly due to the overlap with multi-nucleon interactions in nuclei. An alternative method to probe the dynamics of three-body sy

Correction of the baseline fluctuations in the GEM-based ALICE TPC

To operate the ALICE Time Projection Chamber in continuous mode during the Run 3 and Run 4 data-taking periods of the Large Hadron Collider, the multi-wire proportional chamber-based readout was replaced with gas-electron multipliers. As expected, the detector performance is affected by the so-called common-mode effect, which leads to significant baseline fluctuations. A detailed study of the puls

Governing the automated welfare state: Translations between AI ethics and anti-discrimination regulation

There is an increased demand for utilizing technological possibilities in the Nordic public sector. Automated decision-making (ADM) has been deployed in some areas towards that end. While it is linked to several benefits, research shows that the use of ADM, with elements of AI, also implicates risks of discrimination and unfair treatment, which has stimulated a flurry of normative guidelines. This

Histatins: Peptides with a license to kill

Histatins are a family of human salivary peptides which act as a part of the innate immune system. There are three main members of the family: Histatin 1 (Hst1), Histatin 3 (Hst3), and Histatin 5 (Hst5). Histatins have long been known to possess differing antimicrobial properties, such as antifungal and antiviral capabilities. Hst5 is generally described as the most potent antifungal peptide in th

Uppsatsen “Maktlekar i Digital Dräkt” utför en fallstudie i form av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att utforska hur maktlekar har omformulerats och anpassats till det digitala medielandskapet genom TikTok-utmaningar (challenges). Genom att analysera diskussioner från forum som Flashback och Reddit samt riskfyllda TikTok-utmaningar som Skull-breaker challenge och Blackout challenge, undersöker a

“Barn finns i psykiatrin men inte i lagstiftningen”. En argumentationsanalys av remissvaren till utredningen För barnets bästa?

In 2017 the Swedish government issued an official report containing proposed changes to the compulsory care legislation to strengthen the child rights perspective and provide extended knowledge to the workers within psychiatry. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the reasoning regarding the proposed changes in the comment letters following the official report of the Swedish government:
