Linear response theory for the multiconfigurational short-range density functional theory (MC-srDFT) model is extended to triplet response with a singlet reference wave function. The triplet linear response equations for MC-srDFT are derived for a general hybrid srGGA functional and implemented in the Dalton program. Triplet excitation energies are benchmarked against the CC3 model of coupled clus

Objective: Real-life management of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. Methods: A survey was conducted in 2023 by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) to assess management of CKD patients referred to ESH-Hypertension Excellence Centres (ESH-ECs) at first referral visit. The questionnaire contained 64 questions with which ESH-ECs representatives were asked to e

Apidaecin 1b (Api), the first characterized Type II Proline-rich antimicrobial peptide (PrAMP), is encoded in the honey bee genome. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding in the nascent peptide exit tunnel of the ribosome after the release of the completed protein and trapping the release factors. By genome mining, we have identified 71 PrAMPs encoded in insect genomes as pre-pro-polyproteins. Ha

A novel S-scheme photocatalytic heterojunction composite nanomaterial is developed by integrating zero-dimensional WO3 quantum dots (WQDs) on two-dimensional ultrathin CdIn2S4 (CIS) nanosheets with the aim of fostering carrier separation, enhancing the performance of carrier interface transport, minimizing carrier distance transport, and achieving effective photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The compos

BACKGROUND: Cut-points to define slow walking speed have largely been derived from expert opinion. METHODS: Study participants (13 589 men and 5043 women aged ≥65years) had walking speed (m/s) measured over 4-6 m (mean ± SD: 1.20 ± 0.27 m/s in men and 0.94 ± 0.24 m/s in women.) Mobility limitation was defined as any self-reported difficulty with walking approximately 1/4 mile (prevalence: 12.6% me

Background and Aim: Trigger finger (TF) or stenosing tenosynovitis has been associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), although today’s knowledge is mostly based on cross-sectional and case-control studies. Thus, the aim of the present population-based cohort study over more than 20 years was to investigate DM as a risk factor for TF.Methods: Data from Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS), including 30

Enzymatic synthesis of cetyl palmitate was performed in a solvent-free system at 65 °C using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase. Batch reactions at controlled water activity showed that the yield could be increased from 88.8 to 99.1% by decreasing the water activity from 1 to 0.05. A continuous reactor configuration was constructed, where two tubular reactors were run in sequence with a separat

Two electrotechnologies: pulsed electric fields (PEF) and moderate electric field (MEF) in combination with vacuum impregnation of glycerol as cryoprotectant were used to increase the freezing tolerance of rocket leaves. Rocket leaves were treated with PEF using a nominal field strength of 1200 V/cm or MEF at different combinations of voltage and frequency. Leaves were then immersed in a glycerol

This study explores the extent to which decentralization has affected farmers’ access to agricultural advisory services in the Sunyani Municipality of Ghana. Specifically, it focuses on how political and organizational factors, which are intermediate outcomes of decentralization, affect the availability and relevance of advisory services. The study follows a qualitative research design employing q

The purpose of this study was to psychometrically test a Swedish translation of The Shame Inventory, originally developed by Rizvi (2010). Another purpose was to investigate the link between shame and psychopathology and specifically to borderline personality disorder. The psychometric properties of the Swedish version of The Shame Inventory were investigated, as well as the ability of the instrum

I samband med införandet av brottsbalken 1965 togs uppdelningen mellan otillräkneliga och tillräkneliga lagöverträdare bort. Alla människor skulle från och med reformen anses vara ansvariga för sina handlingar och kunna dömas i domstol. Denna modell har under de senaste decennierna fått stark kritik av både verksamma jurister och statliga utredningar. En återgång till ett tillräknelighetskrav i st

Vid ett angrepp har den angripne ett intresse av att försvara sig i tillräcklig utsträckning för att avvärja angreppet. All våldsutövning i självförsvar är emellertid inte tillåten. Gränsen för hur mycket våld som får användas i självförsvar ska i viss utsträckning dras av domstolarna i det enskilda fallet. Detta skulle kunna innebära att domstolarna tillmäter olika omständigheter betydelse och beA subject of an assault has an interest in defending himself enough to avert the threat. However, not every act of violence in self-defence is legal. The assessment of how much violence that can legally be used in self-defence is, to a certain extent, the responsibility of the courts. Since circumstances can be assessed differently by various courts, the system could result in a non-uniform case l

Stock market movements forecast based on sentiment analysis is certainly a field worth investigating. Being able to build future investment strategies based on forecasted stock returns would be of tremendous importance for individual investors and high-frequency trading firms. This thesis aims to closely investigate the impact that tweet sentiments in Twitter have on stock market movements; it int

Clusters are particles which consist of a finite number (2 − 10 ^6−7 ) of atoms/molecules. For the work presented in this thesis free clusters have been produced in order to study their properties, free of interfering substrates, using photoelectron spectroscopy at the MAX-lab synchrotron facility in Lund, Sweden. The clusters were produced using a magnetron-based sputtering source and are conside
