Superconductivity in monolayer and few-layer graphene. I. Review of possible pairing symmetries and basic electronic properties

We review all symmetry-allowed spin-singlet and spin-triplet superconducting order parameters in graphene (s-wave, d-wave, p-wave, and f-wave) generated by generic on-site, nearest-neighbor, and next-nearest-neighbor pairing interactions in a tight-binding model. For each pairing channel, we calculate both the band structure and the dependence of the density of states on energy, chemical potential

Engaging in Societal Collaboration Through Reflexivity : Experiences from a Cross-Disciplinary Pilot Course for Faculty

There is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions. Using the experiences from a cross-disciplinary pilot course in Sweden, the current study aims to identify features that explicate how skills and academic rigor for engagingThere is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions.

Health and work-related factors as predictors of still being active in working life at age 66 and 72 in a Swedish population : A longitudinal study

BACKGROUND: Health and work environment are known factors in being active in working life beyond legal retirement. OBJECTIVE: To investigate sociodemographic, health and work environment factors as possible predictors of being active in working life at ages 66 and 72. Secondly, investigate eventual changes over time, shortly after a major reform in the Swedish pension system, and predictors of sti

Plasma Protein Profiling of Incident Cardiovascular Diseases : A Multisample Evaluation

BACKGROUND: Proteomic profiling could potentially disclose new pathophysiological pathways for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and improve prediction at the individual level. We therefore aimed to study the plasma protein profile associated with the incidence of different CVDs. METHODS: Plasma levels of 245 proteins suspected to be linked to CVD or metabolism were measured in 4 Swedish prospective p

Calibration procedures and data correction of ePix100 detectors at the European XFEL

The European XFEL is a research facility that delivers extremely bright and short coherent X-ray pulses of tunable energy at MHz repetition rate, providing unprecedented capabilities to conduct scientific research across multiple domains. Among the suite of deployed detectors, several ePix100 modules, belonging to the family of ePix detectors developed at SLAC, are used. These charge-integrating h

Understanding the Role of Activation Loop Mutants in Drug Efficacy for FLT3-ITD

The type III receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is a pivotal kinase for hematopoietic progenitor cell regulation, with significant implications in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through mutations like internal tandem duplication (ITD). This study delves into the structural intricacies of FLT3, the roles of activation loop mutants, and their interaction with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Coupled with this,

Stochastic Thermodynamics of a Quantum Dot Coupled to a Finite-Size Reservoir

In nanoscale systems coupled to finite-size reservoirs, the reservoir temperature may fluctuate due to heat exchange between the system and the reservoirs. To date, a stochastic thermodynamic analysis of heat, work, and entropy production in such systems is, however, missing. Here we fill this gap by analyzing a single-level quantum dot tunnel coupled to a finite-size electronic reservoir. The sys

High-resolution aerosol data from the top 3.8kyr of the East Greenland Ice coring Project (EGRIP) ice core

Here we present the high-resolution continuous flow analysis (CFA) data from the top 479m of the East Greenland Ice coring Project (EGRIP) ice core covering the past 3.8kyr. The data consist of 1mm depth-resolution profiles of calcium, sodium, ammonium, nitrate, and electrolytic conductivity as well as decadal averages of these profiles. The nominally 1mm data represent an oversampling of the reco

Navigating the Legal Uncertainty and Informality in Authoritarian Regimes: Legal Culture, Governance and Business Environment in Uzbekistan

Academic debates on law and society relations in authoritarian regimes continue to revolve around issues of the dysfunctional legal system, corruption and informality, clientelistic legal culture, and how the authoritarian regimes in this region deploy law as a means for suppressing dissent. However, in this article, we argue that the legal landscape of authoritarian regimes should not be viewed f

Effect of controlled hypotensive hemorrhage on plasma sodium levels in anesthetized pigs : An exploratory study

Perioperative hyponatremia, due to non-osmotic release of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, is a serious electrolyte disorder observed in connection with many types of surgery. Since blood loss during surgery contributes to the pathogenesis of hyponatremia, we explored the effect of bleeding on plasma sodium using a controlled hypotensive hemorrhage pig model. After 30-min baseline pe

Kilohertz serial crystallography with the JUNGFRAU detector at a fourth-generation synchrotron source

Serial and time-resolved macromolecular crystallography are on the rise. However, beam time at X-ray free-electron lasers is limited and most thirdgeneration synchrotron-based macromolecular crystallography beamlines do not offer the necessary infrastructure yet. Here, a new setup is demonstrated, based on the JUNGFRAU detector and Jungfraujoch data-acquisition system, that enables collection of k

Civil Society Boundary Crossing and Elite Integration

This chapter explores elite boundary crossing between civil society and other societal sectors—including the state, party politics, and business—and how this may lead to inter-elite integration. We illustrate how qualitative life-work history interviews provide an important complement to established quantitative approaches to the study of elite integration. Through these interviews, we explore theThis chapter explores elite boundary crossing between civil society and other societal sectors—including the state, party politics, and business—and how this may lead to inter-elite integration.

Diminishing returns of growth? Economic performance, needs satisfaction and ecological impacts of OECD welfare states

The environmental crisis, increased inequality and an aging population are likely to increase the demand for welfare services in the OECD countries. Economic growth has long been seen as a solution to these problems. However, this is no longer the case. Very few countries have managed to decouple economic performance from ecological footprints and greenhouse gas emissions. Even where this has been

Surgical management of necrotising enterocolitis in Sweden : A national cohort study

Aim: Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is the dominating surgical emergency in preterm neonates. The aims were to investigate indications, surgical management and mortality for surgically treated neonates with NEC. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register for Swedish neonates with surgically treated NEC from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2021. Diagnosis was validated b

Veiled Integration : The Use of Headscarves among a Christian Minority in Sweden

In this article, we trace a specific ‘situated bodily practice’, namely the ‘act of covering’ the head with a scarf during liturgy, in a church that has migrated from the Middle East to Sweden. This ‘veiled tradition’ is interpreted as a ‘ritual of migration’ that can cast light on the complexities of re-producing traditions in a new setting, functioning as a ‘cultural prism’ for the question of i

A new way of reducing negative weights in MC@NLO

We introduce a new technique, that we dub Born spreading, aimed at reducing the number of negative-weight S events in the MC@NLO matching of NLO calculations with parton-shower simulations. We show that such a technique, based on a re-distribution of Born matrix elements in the radiative phase space, achieves a sizeable reduction of negative-weight events at little computational cost. The method d

A sense of seaweed : Consumer liking of bread and spreads with the addition of four different species of northern European seaweeds. A pilot study among Swedish consumers.

Current food systems pose one of the greatest health and environmental challenges of the 21st century. Expanded utilization of seaweed for food in Western societies seems like one promising measure in the transition toward sustainable food systems. However, introducing and expanding seaweed to new markets brings certain challenges, such as limited food acceptance and availability.
