Due to their high reactivity, organolithium and organomagnesium addition to ketones is usually performed under inert atmosphere at low temperature. Recent work has shown that, by dissolving the substrate in deep eutectic solvents (DES), these processes can be carried out on the benchtop, in air at room temperature. Surprisingly, the organometallic reagent, added to the DES from an organic sol

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of quantile-parameterized distributions (QPDs) as a tool for capturing expert predictions and parametric judgments. We survey a range of methods for constructing distributions that are parameterized by a set of quantile-probability pairs and describe an approach to generalizing them to enhance their tail flexibility. Furthermore, we explore the extensio

This doctoral thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into action-detected two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (A-2DES), from the technical development of a state-of-the-art apparatus to its application in elucidating ultrafast dynamics in advanced materials and biological systems. The work is founded on the design and implementation of an A-2DES setup centered on a single acousto-optic

The aim of this paper is to examine how various types of investors react, and how ownership structures of firms involved in unethical tax practices change once these unethical behaviours are made public. It combines news data with market data to identify investor reactions to tax scandals. Using a staggered diff-in-diff approach, we find that different ownership classes such as hedge funds, banks,

This essay addresses the urgent need for transformative action in environmental governance by exploring the role and essential functionality of environmental auditing. While critical scholarship has questioned the overemphasis on reporting in both research and practice, this essay promotes the obligation on critical accountants and auditing researchers to actively debate and develop the concept of

BACKGROUND: The incidence of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in long COVID has been a growing concern since the first cases were reported in 2021. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and clinical impact of POTS in a series of well-characterized patients with long COVID.METHODS: We prospectively analyzed 467 nonhospitalized, highly symptomatic (sick leave ≥50%) patie

The construction sector contributes around 37 % of global CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for de-carbonization. Part of the emissions originate in the use of diesel-driven heavy equipment. Considering the fast pace of transitioning from fossil fuels to electricity in other vehicle sectors, this may be a possible path for heavy equipment, considering the introduction of electric heavy equipmen

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems. Compared to traditional nuclear power plants (NPPs), risks are different and additional actors are involved. The aim of this paper is to analyse key actors’ understanding of emergency preparedness for SMRs in Sweden. Emergency preparedness is an active, continuous and integrated process involving aSmall modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems.

Background: Evidence-based guidelines for assessing pituitary function in children remain limited. Improved understanding of paediatric pituitary diseases may improve clinical management and patient counselling.Aim: This thesis aimed to evaluate diagnostic aspects of paediatric pituitary diseases, focusing on radiological follow-up of pituitary microadenomas and cysts, pituitary refractoriness to

We present a wall-to-wall map of dominant tree species in Swedish forests accompanied by pixel-level uncertainty estimates. The tree species classification is based on spatiotemporal metrics derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data, combined with field observations from the Swedish National Forest Inventory and auxiliary data on geomorphometry and canopy height. We apply an extreme g

This special issue is devoted to empirical studies on inequalities in living standard for different social groups in the past measured as their sensitivity to economic hardship, such as high food prices. The studies are similar in that they all make use of longitudinal microdata constructed from population registers and related sources that record the demographic behavior of individuals and situat

Hemolytic uremic syndromes (HUSs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions, only some of which are mediated by complement (complement-mediated HUS). We report the outcome of the 2023 International Society of Nephrology HUS International Forum where a global panel of experts considered the current state of the art, identified areas of uncertainty, and proposed optimal solutions. Areas of uncertainty

We present new observations from CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) to clarify the architecture of the planetary system hosted by the old Galactic thick disc star TOI-561. Our global analysis, which also includes previously published photometric and radial velocity data, incontrovertibly proves that TOI-561 is hosting at least four transiti
