Observations of ionized H αgas in high-redshift disc galaxies have ubiquitously found significant line broadening, σH α∼10 -100 km s-1 . To understand whether this broadening reflects gas turbulence within the interstellar medium (ISM) of galactic discs, or arises from out-of-plane emission in mass-loaded outflows, we perform radiation hydrodynamic simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass disc galax
Volunteers participating in medical research must be adequately protected. A volunteer can be a person undergoing treatment for an illness (a patient) or a healthy person. The radiological imaging and therapy procedures used could be routine or project-specific with different purposes. This contribution aims to explore the features and conditions of this planned exposure situation and to address s
We investigate the time evolution of ZnO thin film growth in oxygen plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The recently proposed dynamic-dual-box-model approach [Kilic et al., Sci. Rep. 10, 10392 (2020)] is used to analyze the spectroscopic data post-growth. With the help of this model, we explore the in-cycle surface modifications and reveal the repetiti
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of vestibular stimulation compared to standard care or non-vestibular stimulation for physical and neurological development in preterm infants. To assess whether the effects of vestibular stimulation differ according to gestational age at birth; the type, frequency,
While pesticide use is subject to strict regulatory oversight worldwide, it remains a main concern for environmental protection, including biodiversity conservation. This is partly due to the current regulatory approach that relies on separate assessments for each single pesticide, crop use, and non-target organism group at local scales. Such assessments tend to overlook the combined effects of ov
In the field of sensing, the development of sensors with high sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, sustainability, simplicity, and low cost remains a key focus. Over the past decades, optical and electrochemical sensors based on molecular imprinting techniques have garnered significant attention due to the above advantages. Molecular imprinting technology utilizes molecularly imprinted polymers (MI
Denna avhandling presenterar utvecklingen och studiet av en flexibel och kiselchip-kompatibel integration av III–V nanotrådsbaserade (NW) optoelektroniska komponenter i nätverkskretsar, där kommunikation sker genom utsändning av ljussignaler. Detta innefattar en undersökning av hur neurala bearbetningsbeteenden kan efterliknas med hjälp av fotoniska kretsar på chip. Både experimentella resultat soThis thesis presents the development and study of a flexible and Silicon-chip compatible integration of III–V nanowire (NW) optoelectronic components in network circuits, where communication is done via the broadcasting of light signals. This includes an investigation into how neural processing behaviours can be emulated using on-chip photonic circuits. Both experimental works that demonstrate the
BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether the recommended, non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain yield reductions in healthcare utilization, social costs and increased productivity in actual practice.METHODS: The primary aim of this study ( n = 232) was to conduct secondary analyses of health economic outcomes using data from national registries combined with clinical outcome data from a
Democracy festivals are events that aim to strengthen democracy by engaging citizens, politicians and organisations in dialogue and provide a more equal access to the agenda. In recent years, social media have become important arenas for agenda building, supposedly equalising the access to such processes. This article uncovers patterns of activity and visibility in agenda building through an actor
The Swedish digital games industry portrays itself as inclusive and egalitarian, yet structural inequalities persist, particularly for women. Despite progress in gender equality in Sweden, the industry remains male-dominated, with women comprising only 24% of the workforce in 2023. Female game developers often face exclusion, sexism, and limited career opportunities, being relegated to less presti
Ptychography is a burgeoning imaging technique that enables high-resolution, lensless reconstruction of complex samples by analysing overlapping diffraction patterns, making it invaluable in fields like materials science, biology, and nanotechnology. Real-time ptychographic reconstructions are gaining interest in the scientific community as they provide immediate feedback. Yet their potential to r
Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

Standard economic theory assumes that consumers ignore the externalities they create, such as emissions from burning fossil fuels and generating waste. In an incentivized study (N = 3, 718), we find that most people forgo substantial gains to avoid imposing negative externalities on others. Using administrative data on household waste, we show a clear link between such prosociality and waste behav
We study tests of quantum steering in which the trusted party does not have perfect control of their measurements. We report on steering inequalities that remain unaffected when introducing up to a threshold magnitude of measurement imprecision. This phenomenon, which we call an imprecision plateau, thus permits a departure from the standard assumption of idealized measurements without incurring a
We introduce semidefinite programming hierarchies for benchmarking relevant entanglement properties in the high-dimensional steering scenario. Firstly, we provide a general method for detecting the entanglement dimensionality through certification of the Schmidt number. Its key feature is that the computational cost is independent of the Schmidt number under consideration. Secondly, we provide a m
Witnessing nonclassical behavior is a crucial ingredient in quantum information processing. For that, one has to optimize the quantum features a given physical setup can give rise to, which is a hard computational task currently tackled with semidefinite programming, a method limited to linear objective functions and that becomes prohibitive as the complexity of the system grows. Here, we propose
This piece considers how we can think critically around prenatal sex selection and the problem of ‘missing girls’ and devise strategies to address this phenomenon without risk of harming the rights and interests of girls and women. To address the problem of ‘missing girls’ our research findings suggest there is a need to move beyond a rights-based approach towards gender and reproductive justice,
