In 2008, the Swedish legislature removed any references to race and racial difference,formalizing a post-racial discourse. This has resulted in both the near impossibility ofproving discrimination based on racialized difference, and a formal denial of racial discrimination as a social and structural problem. This article attempts to circumscribe these difficulties by suggesting an approach for tra

Background: Altered metabolism after liver surgery adds complexity topostoperative pain management. Opioids administered via intravenousPatient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is one of the main alternatives forinitial pain management. Paracetamol is considered potentially dangerousafter liver surgery but used selectively. This study evaluates whether thereis a difference in patient outcome after hepat

Summary: In the few social work publications dedicated to exploring phenomenological philosophical concepts, embodiment or the lived body, promoted especially by phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, seems to have received special attention. Roughly, and according to a phenomenological philosophical perspective, the lived body signifies a mind–body unity that is believed to constitute acts of hum

To ensure reliability and service availability, nextgeneration networks are expected to rely on automated anomaly detection systems powered by advanced machine learning methods with the capability of handling multi-dimensional data. Such multi-dimensional, heterogeneous data occurs mostly in todays Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where real-time detection of anomalies is critical to prevent To ensure reliability and service availability, nextgeneration networks are expected to rely on automated anomaly detection systems powered by advanced machine learning methods with the capability of handling multi-dimensional data.

Therapeutic resistance and recurrence remain core challenges in cancer therapy. How therapy resistance arises is currently not fully understood with tumors surviving via multiple alternative routes. Here, we demonstrate that a subset of cancer cells survives therapeutic stress by entering a transient state characterized by whole-genome doubling. At the onset of the polyploidization program, we ide

Laser frequency stabilization is a necessary component in many modern technologies and physics experiments,providing spectral resolution for spectroscopic investigations, accurate optical clocks for timekeeping and phasestability for interferometry. The limiting factor to the frequency stability of state-of-the-art laser stabilization isfrequency uncertainty as a result from variations in the leng

Obesity is a known risk factor for development of osteoarthritis (OA). Numerical tools like finite-element (FE) models combined with degenerative algorithms have been developed to understand the interplay between OA and obesity. In this study, we aimed to predict knee cartilage degeneration in a cohort of obese adults to investigate the importance of patient-specific information on degeneration pr

The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a neutron research facility under construction in Lund, Southern Sweden. The Facility will produce neutrons by spallation, using a powerful linear accelerator to deliver protons to a tungsten target. In addition to the desired neutron production, a long list of radionuclides will be created as by-products of the nuclear reaction inside the target. The Swedis

The growing interest in lignin valorization in the past decades calls for analytical techniques for lignin characterization, ranging from wet chemistry techniques to highly sophisticated chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. One of the key parameters to consider is the molecular weight profile of lignin, which is routinely determined by size-exclusion chromatography; however, this is by no me

Metal-porphyrins are studied intensively due their potential applications, deriving from the variety of electronic and chemical properties, tunable by selecting metal centers and functional groups. Metalation, de- and trans-metalation processes are fundamental in this sense to investigate both the synthesis and the stability of these molecular building blocks. More specifically, Pd coordination in

Bound states in quantum dots coupled to superconductors can be in a coherent superposition of states with different electron number but with the same fermion parity. Electrostatic gating can tune this superposition to a sweet spot, where the quantum dot has the same mean electric charge independent of its electron-number parity. Here, we propose to encode quantum information in the local fermion p
