We measure spectrally and spatially resolved high-order harmonics generated in argon using chirped multi-cycle laser pulses. Using a stable, high-repetition rate laser we observe detailed interference structures in the far-field. The structures are of two kinds; off-axis interference from the long trajectory only and on-axis interference including the short and long trajectories. The former is rea

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—: Compared with ischemic stroke (IS), the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is less well established. We aimed to assess the proportion of AF in patients with TIA, and these patients’ characteristics and secondary preventive treatment in comparison to patients with IS. METHODS—: Hospital-based data on TIA and IS events, registered f

Public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft’s Azure provide excellent capabilities for scalable Web applications and Hadoop-based processing. Recent ad- ditions to public clouds to support connected devices and IoT have the potential to similarly disrupt emerging home- grown and/or proprietary approaches. While early public cloud IoT success stories have focused on smaller-scale

PURPOSE: To investigate whether self-reported exposure to negative acts in the workplace (bullying and threats of violence) predicted turnover in three occupational groups (human service and sales workers, office workers and manual workers).METHODS: Survey data on 2766 respondents were combined with data from a national labour force register to assess turnover. Mixed effects logistic regression an

An arrangement for real-time fluorescence imaging of capillary electrophoretic separations is described. A decoated capillary was excited along a substantial part of its length by a dye laser pumped with an XeCl excimer laser tuned to match the fluorophors in the sample. Light emitted from the migrating, fluorescent molecules was detected by an image-intensified, thermoelectrically cooled charge-c

BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin A nephritis (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. It is caused by accumulation of IgA1-containing immune complexes in the kidney resulting in renal failure, which is thought to be due to altered glycosylation of IgA with a decrease of 2-3-sialylated galactosides (NeuAcα2-3Gal). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze whether altered gl

Background and purpose: Caveolin-1-deficiency is associated with substantial urogenital alterations. Here, a mechanical, histological and biochemical characterization of female detrusors from wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1-deficient (KO) mice was made to increase the understanding of detrusor changes caused by lack of caveolae. Experimental approach: Length-tension relationships were generated, and

A supramolecular complex composed of Ru(II) tris-bipyridine, tyrosine, and dipicolylamine was synthesized and characterized. This complex was attached to TiO2 nanocrystalline films via ester groups at the Ru(II) chromophore, and photoinduced multistep electron transfer was investigated by laser flash photolysis and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques. Following ultrafast electron injection

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har förhoppningar om en ökad andel manlig personal i förskolans verksamhet uttryckts från samhällets sida. Förhoppningarna har dock inte infriats och antalet yrkesverksamma manliga förskollärare var cirka två procent i slutet av 1990-talet. Denna könsmässigt underrepresenterade grupp, som i sin yrkesutövning befinner sig i en kraftigt könsmäThe aim of this study is to describe and analyse the situation of male teachers in the day-to-day work of pre-school, taking into account the fact that men are underrepresented in this profession. The methodic field is qualitative. Video recordings and interviews have been carried out with the fourteen male pre-school teachers who have participated in the project. Some of these men work together w

BACKGROUND: Reports on trends in incidence and mortality of acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion and evaluation of prognostic factors in recent years are lacking. METHODS: Patients with acute SMA occlusion were identified through the in-patient and autopsy registry between 1970 and 1982 (n = 270), 1987 to 1996 (n = 135), and 2000 and 2006 (n = 100) in Malmö, Sweden. RESULTS: The overal

Signaling mechanisms for stretch-dependent growth and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle were investigated in mechanically loaded rat portal veins in organ culture. Stretch-dependent protein synthesis was found to depend on endogenous release of angiotensin II. Autoradiography after [35S]methionine incorporation revealed stretch-dependent synthesis of several proteins, of which SM22 and act

Tungsten particles have been introduced into the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) in Princeton with the purpose to investigate the effects of tungsten injection on subsequent plasma discharges. An experimental setup for the study of tungsten particle transport is described where the particles are introduced into the tokamak using a modified particle dropper, otherwise used for lithium-po

Detta arbetet undersöker hur skogsbruk i Skåne kan bidra till uppfyllanden utav fem av de regionala miljökvalitetsmålen för länet. Detta gjordes genom att se över skogsbruket i helhet samt dess utveckling i Sverige och sedan, genom att samarbeta med ett riktigt skogsbruksföretag, undersöka möjligheter och hinder det finns för ett förbättrat miljöarbete inom denna näring. De valda miljökvalitetsmålThis study investigates the current status of the Scanian regional environmental objectives in relation to Swedish forestry. The aim of the study was to decide on high impact measures that will contribute to the fulfilment of five out of these 16 objectives; Reduced Climate Impact, Natural Acidification Only, Zero Eutrophication, Sustainable Forests and A Rich Diversity of Plants and Animals. Alt

A recent publication introduced a new way to define all k-step linear multistep methods of order k and k+1, in a parametric form that builds in variable step-size. In this framework it is possible to continuously change method and step-size, making it possible to create better behaving adaptive numerical solvers. In this thesis general numerical solvers based on this framework have been implemente

Global warming is a very much researched and debated topic in the current period as we can see the effects around us. The literature and discussions have pointed to a surface temperature rise of up to 10°C at the poles and around 4°C-7°C around the equator. The effect is more in the northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere of our planet Earth. The effects of the warming of our environment o

OBJECTIVES: To compare the implementation of a co-created evidence-based injury prevention intervention with an existing program in youth team handball.DESIGN: Pragmatic two-armed cluster-randomized controlled trial, conducted collaboratively with the Swedish Handball Federation.METHODS: Eighteen clubs offering handball for female and male youth players (aged 12-16 years) were allocated randomly (

Recent developments in Alzheimer's disease biomarkers have significantly improved the early detection of Alzheimer's disease pathology (Hansson et al., 2023; Ossenkoppele and Hansson, 2021; Zetterberg and Blennow, 2021) [1-3]. However, while biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease can indicate the underlying brain pathology and have some predictive value for future cognitive decline, they do not provid
