Vaporlike phase of amorphous Si O2 is not a prerequisite for the core/shell ion tracks or ion shaping

When a swift heavy ion (SHI) penetrates amorphous SiO2, a core/shell (C/S) ion track is formed, which consists of a lower-density core and a higher-density shell. According to the conventional inelastic thermal spike (iTS) model represented by a pair of coupled heat equations, the C/S tracks are believed to form via "vaporization" and melting of the SiO2 induced by SHI (V-M model). However, the mo

Structure, morphology and annealing behavior of ion tracks in polycarbonate

Ion tracks created in polycarbonate foils by irradiation with 2.2 GeV Au ions were characterized using a combination of small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The ion tracks were found to consist of a cylindrical damage core with a radius of ∼2.5 ± 0.2 nm and a relative density approximately 5% below that of the pristine polycarbona

Intensified role of the European Union? : European Research Infrastructure Consortium as a legal framework for contemporary multinational research collaboration

This chapter gives an introduction to the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) – a European Union (EU) policy tool introduced in 2009 with the purpose to set up and operate collaborative Research Infrastructures by granting them a legal personality and qualities of an international organization. The shared responsibility between the member states and the EU in the research and innova

Conical etched ion tracks in SiO2 characterised by small angle X-ray scattering

We present a systematic study of the evolution of chemically etched ion tracks formed in thermally grown a-SiO2 after irradiation with 1.1 GeV and 185 MeV Au ions. The irradiated material was subsequently etched with 2.5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) for different times yielding hollow conical shaped structures of various sizes. The characterisation of these structures was carried out by synchrotron-bas

“You have to live with some risk, it’s part of the profession”. Specialist ambulance nurses’ perceptions of assignments involving ongoing lethal violence

BackgroundAs a result of several violent terrorist incidents, authorities in Sweden have shifted from previous approaches of being certain that it is safe for the ambulance service to enter the scene, to a one where “safe enough” is sufficient, potentially making it possible to save more lives. The aim was therefore to describe specialist ambulance nurses' perceptions of the new approach to assign

Factors for not performing total body skin examinations in primary care in association with teledermoscopy

PURPOSE: To investigate factors related to omitted total body skin examination (TBSE) in skin cancer diagnostics while managing patients using teledermoscopy (TDS) in Swedish primary care.METHODS: 4,987 TDS referrals from primary care centers were analyzed to identify factors associated with failing to perform TBSE. Data collected included age, gender of patient and physician, and reason for a vis

Association between Metabolic Syndrome Status and Daily Physical Activity Measured by a Wearable Device in Japanese Office Workers

(1) Background: This study examined the cross-sectional association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) status classified into three groups and daily physical activity (PA; step count and active minutes) using a wearable device in Japanese office workers. (2) Methods: This secondary analysis used data from 179 participants in the intervention group of a randomized controlled trial for 3 months. Indi

m6A-driven SF3B1 translation control steers splicing to direct genome integrity and leukemogenesis

SF3B1 is the most mutated splicing factor (SF) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), which are clonal hematopoietic disorders with variable risk of leukemic transformation. Although tumorigenic SF3B1 mutations have been extensively characterized, the role of “non-mutated” wild-type SF3B1 in cancer remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify a conserved epitranscriptomic program that steers SF3B1

Socialt arbete vid suicidalt beteende inom psykiatrisk hälso- och sjukvård i Skåne - tidigare och aktuell psykosocial forskning

Varje suicid är en personlig tragedi och representerar dessutom en omfattande samhällelig förlust. Problematiken bakom suicid är mångfacetterad och insatser behövs inom många olika domäner i samhället, bland annat finns ett stort behov av nya hälso- och sjukvårdsstrategier. Hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorn med sin tvärvetenskapliga utbildning har möjlighet att bidra till ett multifaktoriellt perspekti

A market for citizenships: Should citizenship be commodified?

Starting from the assumption that citizenship is propertythat would be more valuable if it were transferable, the paper explores the idea of commodification of citizenship. The paper provides arguments in favor of commodification and recommendations to how the market for citizenships should be designed. A market for citizenships could result in an improved matching between employer and employee whStarting from the assumption that citizenship is valuable private property that would be even more valuable if it were transferable, the paper explores the idea of commodification of citizenship.

Under olivträdet : Om våra hungriga jordar från Toscana till Skåne

I den lilla medeltida byn Chianni i Toscana har olivodlingarna försörjt invånarna i flera hundra år. Varje höst reser markbiologen Håkan Wallander och hans vänner dit för att plocka oliver och sköta om de vackra träden.I Toscanas vänliga landskap kan de experimentera med olika odlingsmetoder i olivlunden. Lokala experter lär dem hur träden traditionellt ska beskäras och gödslas, men som jordforska

EpilepsyNet: Interpretable Self-Supervised Seizure Detection for Low-Power Wearable Systems

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders that is characterized by recurrent and unpredictable seizures. Wearable systems can be used to detect the onset of a seizure and notify family members and emergency units for rescue. The majority of state-of-the-art studies in the epilepsy domain currently explore modern machine learning techniques, e.g., deep neural networks, to accurately

The Structure of Evolutionary Theory : Beyond Neo-Darwinism, Neo-Lamarckism and Biased Historical Narratives About the Modern Synthesis

The last decades have seen frequent calls for a more extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) that will supposedly overcome the limitations in the current evolutionary framework with its intellectual roots in the Modern Synthesis (MS). Some radical critics even want to entirely abandon the current evolutionary framework, claiming that the MS (often erroneously labelled “Neo-Darwinism”) is outdated, a

Environmental refuges from disease in host–parasite interactions under global change

The physiological performance of organisms depends on their environmental context, resulting in performance–response curves along environmental gradients. Parasite performance–response curves are generally expected to be broader than those of their hosts due to shorter generation times and hence faster adaptation. However, certain environmental conditions may limit parasite performance more than t

Who’s afraid of the vulnerable terrorist? Framing violent jihadists’ life and intimate relationships

This article looks at a sample of academic articles in the field of terrorism studies and international relations to explore the ways in which marriage, sexual activity and close relationships in jihadist groups are framed, imagined and investigated. Despite the scarcity of research being conducted on the subject, this article reveals that, in the study of terrorism, the issue of intimate relation

Predictors of survival in advanced oral cancers after salvage surgery with free tissue flap reconstruction

Objective: To identify prognostic factors for patients with advanced persistent, recurrent, or 2nd primary oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) potentially unsuitable for salvage surgery with free tissue flap (FTF) reconstruction. Materials and methods: A population-based cohort of 83 consecutive patients with advanced OCSCC who underwent salvage surgery with FTF reconstruction at a tertiar

Epoxy allergy, investigation of a modern industry

Background: Five workers from an industry manufacturing various articles from carbon fibre reinforced epoxy plastics were referred to our department because of suspected occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD). When patch tested, four of them had positive reactions to components of epoxy resin systems (ERSs) that could explain their current skin problems. All of them had been working at th
