Characterization of Nanowire Devices Using Nano-Focused X-Ray Beams

The long absorption length of hard X-rays makes them ideal tools for investigating electronic and optoelectronic devices in realistic operational conditions. Modern X-ray optics reach the relevant length scales for single nanoelectronic devices. Here, methods to investigate single nanowire devices with nanofocused X-rays are discussed. The X-rays are used both as pump and probe of semiconductor na

Three new genera of the Ramalinaceae (lichen-forming Ascomycota) and the phenomenon of presence of ‘extraneous mycobiont DNA’ in lichen associations

Three new genera Coppinsidea, Vandenboomia and Wolseleyidea are described and the genera Ivanpisutia, Lecaniella and Myrionora are resurrected on the basis of a phylogenetic analysisof multi-locus sequence data of the Ramalinaceae including the nuclear protein-codingmarker rpb2, the internal transcribed spacer and a fragment of the small mitochondrialsubunit. The genus Hertelidea was positioned wi

Some aspects of controlling radiant and convective cooling systems

Designing appropriate control systems for radiant heating and cooling terminals entails an understanding of their dynamic behaviour. This study experimentally investigates the dynamic response of a room with convective and radiant cooling systems. The experiments were performed in a 12.6 m2 large test room outfitted as a single-office room. The main cooling system was radiant ceiling panels which

The new for science genus Loekoeslaszloa S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, confirmed by three gene phylogeny of the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the Teloschistaceae based on nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU sequences, and ten new to science species from Eastern Asia, i.e. from South Korea: Bacidina loekoesiana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Fauriea jejuensis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J.-S. Hur, Gyalecta ulleungdoensi

Repair and Reconstruction of Peripheral Nerve Injuries. Treatment with G-CSF and Stromal Vascular Fraction.

While surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, it is not a comprehensive approach, and outcome is unsatisfactory, especially sensory function. The present aim was to translate recent findings about stem- and progenitor cells to improve regenerative outcome, where the cells have to be autologous, available within the same surgical procedure, and minimally manipulated. Gra

The Choreography of Gender in Traditional Vietnamese Music

This Ph.D. project in artistic research is concerned with the function of gesture in traditional Vietnamese music. Building on gender analysis of musical performance in TV shows, and further on autoethnographic inquiry throughout the artistic projects, the artistic output articulates a critical understanding of these practices. The aims of the project are to investigate the social function and mea

Puzzling out the choice of capital budgeting techniques : Among high-growth small and medium sized firms

The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT). The mainstream literature suggests that sophisticated CBT (SCBT) will best guide organizations in evaluating important strategic investments. Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) choose to go against that “wisdom” and choose non-sophisticated CBT (NSCBT).Instead of following The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT).

Nätvårdsanvändare i Skåne kontaktade oftare vårdcentral : Användare av digitala vårdtjänster kontaktade fysiska vårdcentraler oftare än andra och gjorde inte färre akutbesök

Digitala läkarbesök har potential att avlasta den traditionella vården, men kan också leda till ökad vårdanvändning.Invånare i Region Skåne som använde digitala vårdtjänster 2016–2018 kontaktade även fysiska vårdcentraler oftare än andra invånare och besökte akutmottagning minst lika ofta.Resultaten består efter justering för tidigare vårdanvändande, sjuklighet (vissa diagnoser), ålder, kön och inSince 2016, a number of companies offering primary care services via chats or video calls have entered the Swedish primary care market. This is the first study to investigate whether these services replace other primary care services or if they induce more care and potentially even increase the workload of traditional caregivers. Using administrative care register data from a Swedish region, we fi

Distinct pathways associated with chromosomal aberration frequency in a cohort exposed to genotoxic compounds compared to general population

Non-specific structural chromosomal aberrations (CAs) observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy individuals can be either chromosome-type aberrations (CSAs) or chromatid-type aberrations (CTAs) depending on the stage of cell division they are induced in and mechanism of formation. It is important to study the genetic basis of chromosomal instability as it is a marker of genotoxic exposur

Evidence for Bisphenol B Endocrine Properties : Scientific and Regulatory Perspectives

Background: The substitution of bisphenol A (BPA) by bisphenol B (BPB), a very close structural analog, stresses the need to assess its potential endocrine properties.Objective: This analysis aimed to investigate whether BPB has endocrine disruptive properties in humans and in wildlife as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) definition used in the regulatory field, that is, a) adverse ef

Thermoelectric Effects and Single Electron Sources in Mesoscopic Transport; a Scattering Approach

This thesis concerns the theoretical analysis of thermoelectric transport properties and single electron sources in mesoscopic conductors. Wepropose two types of thermoelectric heat engines and analyze them with thehelp of performance quantifiers. We also investigate and compare theproperties of different single electron sources, focusing on their coupledcharge and energy transport. As a common de

Retail Destination : Centrum för handelsforskning vid Lunds universitet

Handelsbranschen befinner sig mitt i en tid av stora omfattande förändringar, vad gäller till exempel människors ändrade köpmönster, digitalisering, urbanisering och globalisering . En av de stora konsekvenserna av dessa förändringar är förändringen i relationen mellan handel och plats.Detta har varit utgångspunkten för forskningsprogrammet ”Retail Destination” vars resultat redovisas i denna skri

Intercultural game in music teacher education : Exploring El Sistema in Sweden

El Sistema, the originally Venezuelan music teaching movement is spreading worldwide, suggesting Western classical music as a tool for counteracting poverty and segregation. In Sweden, this represents an interesting and perhaps pro- voking twist, as the hegemony of classical music in music teacher education has since long been replaced by the hegemony of popular music. Based on eldwork during the
