ETEM, Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy är en teknik som ger möjlighet att betrakta reaktioner mellan fasta föreningar, högsmältande vätskor och gaser i realtid, och med atomär upplösning.Ett Hitachi 3300S ETEM har designats och uppförts av nCHREM, the national Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy vid Lund Universitet. Artikeln beskriver tekniska lösningar i systemet och deA new environmental transmission electron microscope has been installed in Lund in order to investigate the growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. We report here on the concepts behind the design of the facility and on details of the operation, and we refer to early results to highlight the new information that can be accessed from in situ studies. The

Angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is a subset of glaucoma affecting 16 million people. Although 4 million people are bilaterally blind from ACG, the causative molecular mechanisms of ACG remain to be defined. High intraocular pressure induces glaucoma in ACG. High intraocular pressure traditionally was suggested to result from the iris blocking or closing the angle of the eye, thereby limiting aqueous

The reactive behavior of three catalysts based on Pd-loaded LaFeO3 was investigated in terms of the reducibility of Pd and its propensity to leaching into the liquid phase in flowing solutions prototypical of C-C coupling catalysis in a continuous flow reactor cell. In situ quick extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy showed that Pd remains stable and nonreducible in the flowing eth

Background: Little is known about the value of biomarkers for prognostication in hip fracture patients. The main objective of the present study was to assess if biomarkers add useful information to an existing risk score for prediction of 30-day mortality in patients suffering from out of hospital hip fractures. Methods: In a prospective observational single centre study, association between plasm

Preclinical assessment of the therapeutic potential of dopamine (DA) neuron replacement in Parkinson's disease (PD) has primarily been performed in the 6-hydroxydopamine toxin model. While this is a good model to assess graft function, it does not reflect the pathological features or progressive nature of the disease. In this study, we establish a humanized transplantation model of PD that better

Crime is a problem all over the world. We must sometimes look to other countries and legal systems to find solutions to our own problems. This the-sis will encompass the view into another system. Both the Swedish and Jap-anese perspective. In this thesis I present the reader with a comprehensive overview of the two justice systems, theories on crime, and restorative justice. An exploration of info

Skattelagstiftning styrs av principer, som ibland kan säga emot varandra och då behöva vägas mot varandra. I förarbeten redogör lagstiftaren för hur denna bedömning ser ut, och det är möjligt att genom förarbeten analysera vilka principer lagstiftaren behandlar, hur de behandlas och hur de vägs mot varandra. Det finns olika sätt att dela in skatterättsliga principer; ett sätt är att dela in dem i Tax law is governed by principles, that sometimes may contradict each other and then need to be weighed against each other. In preparatory works the lawmaker gives their account for how the assessment of principles looks like, and it’s possible through preparatory works to analyse which principles the lawmaker considers, how they’re considered, and how they’re weighed against each other. There are

The question of choice is a fundamental issue in the discussion of human mobilities. In the context of natural disaster and resettlement programs, the affected population is reduced to victims devoid of agency, and their movements concluded as passive reactions. However, the post-tsunami mobility behaviour of the families in the Maldives after the devastating 2004 tsunami paints a very different p

In the State of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico exist abundant natural resource and excellent wind conditions. Currently in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca has an extensive area with wind farm projects due to their excellent wind speed conditions. A large wind energy plant – the Project Mareña Renovables that since their origins started in 2004 with Preneal Company. It was planned to

The purpose of this qualitative study was to add to the understanding on how structural elements of gender shape identity and agency of Syrian adolescence girls in the current displacement situation in Lebanon. The thesis was primary based on findings from interviews and focus groups with Syrian displaced girls in the age of 14 enrolled in a school in the region of Bekaa, east of Lebanon. The theo

Urban transportation is becoming increasingly challenging in the face of growing cities, urban sprawl and a rising trend in car use. Beyond the direct impacts of motorized transports, the development of extensive car infrastructure exacerbates social differences, especially in urban areas. The social dimension of transport is however marginalized in the current model of transport planning and sign

Countries characterized by high fertility and low educational attainment have potential to increase adoption of modern contraceptive methods by increasing provision of education. In addition to the positive effects on contraceptive practice the education of an individual is expected to have, it is likely that there are externalities of education. The schooling of one individual is likely to influe

There is still limited understanding of how entrepreneurial identity evolves over time and what the consequences of such changes are. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry is an interesting field to study identity work due to the ongoing tension between the commercial drive for growth and financial success and the creative pursuit of artistic authenticity and expression. This study, refers to the

In the past few years, macroalgae farming has surged in popularity on a global scale as a potential major contributor to carbon dioxide removal. As the world’s biggest producer of seaweed, China has actively engaged in this global effort to develop macroalgae farming as a nature-based climate solution. Amid this global enthusiasm, however, is a lack of attention to the local living worlds. This st

This thesis is conducted through a thematic document analysis and explores the reasons why inadequate labor conditions in Bangladesh have remained unchanged since the tragedy of the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013. The findings identify two significant factors that constrain the work toward fair working conditions in the ready-made-garment industry: 1) an ongoing ‘glocal’ conflict among stakeholders i

This study examines the perception, implementation, and challenges of sustainable supply chain practices among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria's retail sector. The retail industry in emerging economies like Nigeria, is dominated by SMEs, are crucial for economic growth and employment but often face significant barriers to adopting sustainability. Using a qualitative metho

Cumulate xenoliths from beach boulders in Anaga, Tenerife were analyzed through optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), both EDS and EBSD, and barometric modelling to study the magmatic evolution and volcanic plumbing system of the Anaga massif. Petrographic results indicate crystallization from hydrous basaltic magmas at equilibrium. This was further supported with chemical analy
