Exponential decay of correlations in the one-dimensional Coulomb gas ensembles

We consider the Gibbs measure on the configurations of N particles on R+ with one fixed particle at one end at 0. The potential includes pair-wise Coulomb interactions between any particle and its 2K neighbors. Only when K = 1, the model is within the rank-one operators, and it was treated previously. Here, for the case K ≥ 2, exponentially fast convergence of density distribution for the spacings

Characterization of the Biological Activity of the Ethanolic Extract from the Roots of Cannabis sativa L. Grown in Aeroponics

Cannabis sativa var. Kompolti, a variety routinely used for food production purposes, is characterized by a low concentration of psychoactive molecules, although containing many other biologically attractive metabolites in all parts of the plant, including the roots. In the present work, we evaluate the specific biological activities of the roots’ extract from plants cultivated through aeroponics,

An experimental and theoretical study of the Kr 3d correlation satellites

The Kr 3d correlation satellites have been studied experimentally by using plane polarized synchrotron radiation to record polarization dependent photoelectron spectra (PES), and theoretically by employing the R-matrix method to calculate photoionization cross sections, PES and angular distributions. The experimental spectra have allowed the photoelectron anisotropy parameters characterizing the a

Higher education and inclusion : A comparative study of immigrants’ challenges, opportunities and strategies in Sweden and South Africa

This study aims to analyse and compare the challenges and opportunities that refugees and asylum seekers experience in Sweden and South Africa along with the strategies they develop in relation to higher education. As both countries have undertaken a more restrictive refugee and asylum policy, this study hopes to contribute to the debate of inclusion and its challenges. The data-collection entails

Repositioning and optimization of left ventricular lead position in non-responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is associated with improved ejection fraction, lower NT-ProBNP values and less heart failure symptoms

BackgroundObservational data suggests that an anterior or apical left ventricular (LV) position in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is associated with worse outcome and higher likelihood of “non-response”. It is not known whether the benefits of optimizing LV lead position in a second procedure outweighs the procedural risks.ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effects of LV lead repositioning

As a Member of the Surgical Team, the Nurse Anesthetist's View of Using the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in Swedish Health Care

Introduction: In Sweden, during specialty training, the nurse anesthetist learns how to ensure patient safety in a health-care setting by implementing the surgical checklist measures during perioperative care. To date, there are still considerable shortcomings when it comes to implementing these patient safety measures in Swedish hospitals.Aim: The purpose of this study is to describe the use of t

Automated quantification of neuronal swellings in a preclinical rodent model of Parkinson's disease detects region-specific changes in pathology

Background: The development of axonal pathology is a key characteristic of many neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. With advanced disease progression, affected axons do display several signs of pathology such as swelling and fragmentation. In the AAV vector-mediated alpha-synuclein overexpression model of Parkinson's disease, large (> 20 µm2) pathological

Motor Imagery to Facilitate Sensorimotor Re-Learning (MOTIFS): Integrating Dynamic Motor Imagery in Current Treatment of Knee Injury

Traumatic knee injury is common in physical activity that includes jumping and cutting movements, and most commonly include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or meniscus injuries. Surgical or non-surgical intervention strategies may be chosen, but treatment will include a physical-therapist led physical training program. The aim of this training is to strengthen and stabilize the knee. Despite rece

Functional Priorities in LCA and Design for Environment

Aim, Scope and BackgroundThe interest in environmental questions has increased enormously during the last decade. Environmental protection has become an issue of strategic importance within the manufacturing industry and many companies are now working in the field of Design for Environment (DFE). The main purpose of DFE is to create products and services for achieving a sustainable society. Design

Recalibrated responses needed to a global research landscape in flux

When engaging in international collaboration, researchers and research institutions have to relate to a great range of differences in legislation, scientific practices, incentive systems, and cultural norms. The research landscape has become even more complex in the last decade, and the gray zones at the intersections of a diverse set of institutional contexts may be used to push boundaries. The f

Self-imposed Filter Bubbles : Selective Attention and Exposure in Online Search

It is commonly assumed that algorithmic curation of search results creates filter bubbles, where users’ beliefs are continually reinforced and opposing views are suppressed. However, empirical evidence has failed to support this hypothesis. Instead, it has been suggested that filter bubbles may result from individuals engaging selectively with information in search engine results pages. However, t
