Theory predicts that we should find fast, ejected (runaway) stars of all masses around dense, young star-forming regions. N-body simulations show that the number and distribution of these ejected stars could be used to constrain the initial spatial and kinematic substructure of the regions. We search for runaway and slower walkaway stars within 100 pc of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) using Gaia D
What is nationalism? When did it originate and how did it develop throughout the centuries? What types of nationalism have evolved in different sociopolitical settings and why? By addressing these questions, this entry seeks to address the key issues of the conceptualization of nationalism, followed by an analysis of its development in different structural, cultural, and political contexts. The en
Microcalorimetry was found to be a useful technique for the demonstration of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against human melanoma cells mediated by a heterologous rabbit antiserum and two monoclonal antibodies in combination with human peripheral blood lymphocytes as effector cells. The rabbit antiserum and the monoclonal IgG3 antibody 2B2 directed against the GD3 ganglioside exp
Cesium copper halides Cs3Cu2X5 (X = Cl, Br, and I) have attracted much attention for optoelectronic applications because of their self-trap excitons and high photoluminescence quantum yield. Intrinsic point defects play a critical role in the optoelectronic performance of these materials by affecting fundamental properties, such as carrier mobility, lifetime, and recombination rate. In this work,
BackgroundTransfusion of allogeneic blood influences outcome after surgery. Despite widespread availability of transfusion guidelines, transfusion practices might vary among physicians, departments, hospitals and countries. Our aim was to determine the amount of packed red blood cells (pRBC) and blood products transfused intraoperatively, and to describe factors determining transfusion throughout
For infants and their families, sleep consolidation is important in maturing neural and circadian rhythms, and in family dynamics. The Possums Infant Sleep Program is a cued care approach to infant sleep, responding to infant cues in a flexible manner, dialing down the infant’s sympathetic nervous system. The current study evaluated the effect of the Possums program on infant sleep and breastfeedi
This paper investigates the effect of educational mismatch of R&D workers on firm's returns to innovation. R&D labour mismatch emerges when R&D workers have competencies different from those required by their occupation providing a contribution to innovation lower than in the case of perfect educational matching. By estimating a knowledge production function on data for 13 manufacturin
The Riksbank, founded in 1668, is the world's oldest central bank. It has played a central role in Swedish economic policymaking for centuries and enjoys a great deal of confidence among the public. This chapter explains how the Riksbank became what it is today: an independent and widely respected institution. The bank's high status has emerged because Sweden's political elites regard the delegati
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of adding a box-constraint to the minimization of functionals consisting of a data-fidelity term and a total variation regularization term. In particular, we show that in certain applications an additional box-constraint does not effect the solution at all, i.e., the solution is the same whether a box-constraint is used or n
Algorithms for automatically selecting a scalar or locally varying regularization parameter for total variation models with an Lτ-data fidelity term, τ∈ { 1 , 2 } , are presented. The automated selection of the regularization parameter is based on the discrepancy principle, whereby in each iteration a total variation model has to be minimized. In the case of a locally varying parameter, this amoun
This article offers an analysis of three popular Swedish handbooks for new parents, written by authors in the “media class.” In these texts breastfeeding as a gendered, embodied practice collides with the Swedish ideal of gender-equal parenting. The analysis explores the various ways that gendered bodies, gendered (parental) rights, and gender equality figure in the handbooks, drawing upon feminis
Control theory is emerging as a source of solutions for many problems in the computing systems domain, and in particular for resource allocation. However, the techniques proposed to date in the literature, do not successfully address the difficulty of devising allocation schemes that are general enough, provide stability guarantees, and can be parametrised and managed by system administrators, or
ObjectiveComputerized decision‐support tools may improve diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among patients presenting with chest pain at the emergency department (ED). The primary aim was to assess the predictive accuracy of machine learning algorithms based on paired high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) concentrations with varying sampling times, age, and sex in order to rule
Solvent-solute interactions in precursor solutions of lead halide perovskites (LHPs) critically impact the quality of solution-processed materials, as they lead to the formation of a variety of poly-iodoplumbates that act as building blocks for LHPs. The formation of [PbI2+n]n- complexes is often expected in diluted solutions, while coordination occurring at high concentrations is not yet well und
As the most common type of defects in WO3, surface oxygen deficiencies have been widely investigated in terms of their structure as well as physicochemical properties. In general, oxygen vacancy on the surface may lead to the reconstruction of the surface structure due to the need for surface energy minimization, especially for the area with high oxygen vacancy concentration. However, such a pheno
New digital food platforms are being launched accompanied with the promise of also promoting more sustainable food consumption. However, despite some success, many of these efforts to digitally reconfigure consumers food practices fail. The aim of this paper is to empirically explore, conceptualize and explain such failures. Taking a practice theory approach, and drawing on a field experiment usin
Objective: To describe perioperative adverse events, fertility and obstetric outcome, following a robot assisted laparoscopic approach for treating Cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP). Study Design: A retrospective case series of 14 consecutive women with a CSP and a wish for and attempts towards subsequent pregnancies, having undergone minimal invasive surgical treatment at two tertiary referral Swed
Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the major public health challenges in India. LBW etiology is multifactorial and linked to multiple determinants, including maternal undernutrition and sociodemographic characteristics. The objective of the present endeavor was to assess how maternal dietary diversity and other sociodemographic factors among marginalized populations are associated with the incidence
In recent decades, there has been a global recognition of the co-constitutive relationship between gender justice and peaceful transformation of previously war-torn societies. This chapter investigates how “women-friendly states” have located their foreign policies within notions of gender equality and empowerment. It focuses on how feminist foreign policy is to all intents and purposes ethical an
