In this study, we present the solvothermal synthesis of LuPO4:Pr3+ (1%) nanocrystals in a dimethyl sulfoxide-water solvent system. The as-prepared nanocrystals exhibit a relatively high degree of crystallinity, along with significant short-range disorder, particularly in the anionic sublattice, as revealed by XRD and Raman spectroscopy data. Low temperature luminescence spectroscopy under VUV exci
The influence of mass-transfer limitations on the performance of immobilized a-chymotrypsin operating in acetonitrile medium has been investigated. The enzyme was immobilized by deposition on various porous carrier materials such as celite, polyamides of different particle sizes, controlled-pore glasses, polypropylene or polyacrylamides. When carrying out kinetically controlled peptide synthesis r
For the evaluation of the imaging properties of medical radiographic systems there are well-established standards for measuring techniques available, e.g. ISO 9236 for the measurement of the H/D curve. However, such measuring techniques require sophisticated equipment which is not available in a clinical environment. For a clinical routine of image evaluation, techniques like contrast-detail diagr
BACKGROUND: Female gender is a risk factor for sustaining anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, little is known about possible sex differences in patients with ACL injury/reconstruction. PURPOSE: To study sex differences in patient-reported outcomes before and at 1 and 2 years after ACL reconstruction and to present reference values. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. ME
Production of protein is often accompanied with difficulties due to the large amounts of different biological material resulting from fermentation. This makes purification necessary and affinity chromatography is usually involved as being biospecific, although suffering from limitations as low recovery due to ineffective elution and inability to handle particulate materials. Displacement of lactat
Summary of key messages for policy makers • Systemic approach is critical Climate change and natural resource depletion continues to be driven not least by unsustainable levels and patterns of consumption. There is growing recognition that the shift required to achieve sustainable consumption and production is a momentous paradigm shift in Western culture. Due to the holistic nature of shifting c
Data from 3 whole body manikins, 2 babies and an adult, were used in the study. All the manikins used the same computer program and similar measuring and control units. No special measurements were made for baby and adult manikin comparison, but available data from earlier measurements was used. The conditions involved air layer insulation measurements (AL), laying on back on an insulating surface
We measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q(2)=1.0 (GeV/c)(2) in 10 bins of 1.17 <= W <= 1.35 GeV across the Delta resonance. A total of 16 independent response functions were extracted, of which 12 were observed for the first time. Comparisons with recent model calculations show that respons
BACKGROUND: The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA), associated meniscal injuries, meniscectomy, and patient-related measures for patients treated nonoperatively after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have not been well described in the literature in terms of natural history. HYPOTHESIS: Patients with ACL injury can achieve a low occurrence of tibiofemoral OA and good knee function when tre
Nowadays, very few public services could be delivered by only one department or organization. In order to deal with those "wicked" issues, like transportation, housing, environmental protection, food safety or some other problems, collaboration between departments has been a need. Meanwhile, cross-departmental collaboration has been proved to be an important means for governance, which h
De svenska ränteavdragsbegräsningsreglernas förenlighet med EU-rätten har varit föremål för kritik sedan en lång tid tillbaka. Reglerna är tillämpliga på koncerninterna lån och syftar till att motverka både skatteflykt och att den svenska skattebasen eroderas genom fiktiva och konstlade upplägg. Enligt reglernas förarbeten fanns ingen avsikt att reglerna skulle träffa koncerner hemmahörande i SveThe Swedish interest deduction limitation rules compatibility with EU-law have been criticized for a long time. The rules are applicable to intra-group loans and are aimed to both protect the Swedish Tax base and to prevent tax avoidance through the use of artificial arrangements. According to the preparatory works the purpose of the rules was not to target groups of companies within Sweden. This
This thesis aims to explain the effect of Turkey’s accession process to the European Union on its asylum policy’s evolution. By applying two branches of new institutional theory––rational choice and social institutionalism––the thesis analyzed the Europeanization phenomenon of the European Union’s accession effect on domestic policy change. In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis
Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i
Uppsatsen behandlar kommunal delegation och speciellt den myndighetsutövning mot enskild som sker på socialrättens område. Framförallt gäller myndighetsutövningen tvångsomhändertaganden och ansökan om tvångsvård enligt LVU. Uppsatsen består av en deskriptiv del där gällande rätt avseende kommunal delegation utreds. Begrepp som behandlas är bland annat ren verkställighet, beslut, lekmannastyrning, This thesis deals with municipal delegation and in particular the excercise of authority over individuals within the field of social law. Said exercise of authority primarily concerns compulsive preventive detention and applications for compulsory care under LVU. The thesis consists of a descriptive part where the applicable law regarding municipal delegation is investigated. Concepts covered incl
In this chapter, the author analyses a new Swedish curriculum for schools that was presented in 2011 and came into effect the same year. Basically the focus in the subject of music is on playing music, creating music, and listening to music. But key citations within the subject of music show a return to some ideas from the beginning of the 20th century regarding nationalism, a Nordic ethnocentric
The aim of this study was to examine what people working closely with clients for non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Skåne and Cape Town think about conditions and challenges in regard to the organizations’ operation. The focus is on organizations working with substance abuse. We have had seven semi-structured interviews with people who work closely with clients in the organization. Three of them
The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy has been described as flawed or even non-existing by many critics due to its intergovernmentalist nature. One of the latest incidents illustrating the CFSP's malfunction came about in 2003 after the US decided to engage in a war against Iraq. The failure of the EU to generate a unified stance regarding the decision on how to act in Iraq was put f
