The design of port complexes is a process that requires considering geographical and economic features of the territory. It is necessary to aggregate the characteristics of coastal landscapes, seascapes, artificial elements, dangerous objects, etc. The experience of implementing such projects (for example, in Sabetta) suggests that all participants in the design process need highly precise geograp
Introduction: Due to the high cost and complexity, the oral glucose tolerance test is not adopted as the screening method for identifying diabetes patients, which leads to the misdiagnosis of patients with isolated post-challenge hyperglycemia (IPH), that is., patients with normal fasting plasma glucose (<7.0 mmoL/L) and abnormal 2-h postprandial blood glucose (≥11.1 mmoL/L). We aimed to develop a
Background The Master’s Thesis Case Study Company is a premium brand automotive OEM. In the Swedish fleet car (or company car) market, the company is lagging behind its main competitors in terms of market share a fact that is not true for several other European markets. Concurrently, the automotive industry is set to go through radical changes the next few years. The speedy development of digitali
Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr
For model-based quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation cover on the scale of landscapes, pollen productivity estimates (PPEs) are key input parameters. In this study, we employed a random sampling strategy to collect moss polsters at 20 sites in Changbai Mountain, northeastern China. A detailed vegetation survey within 1000-m radius around each sampling point was carried out and digitized
This report examines the possibilities of decarbonising operation & maintenance vessels for a prospective floating offshore wind power park at the Utsira Nord site in Norway, through self-sufficient energy carrier production utilizing power-to-X-solutions. Possible alternative fuels are identified as compressed hydrogen, batteries, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and biofuels, out of which
[NiFe] hydrogenases catalyse the reaction H2 <-> 2H(+) + 2e(-). Several states of the enzyme have been observed by spectroscopic methods. Among these, the two most oxidized states, called the unready Ni-A and Ni-SU states, have been especially intriguing, because they take a much longer time to activate than the corresponding ready Ni-B and Ni-SI states. It has recently been suggested that the unr
new coordinator team RS 2019-20.pdf New coordinator team for WCMM research school year 2019/20 After a successful first year, we are getting ready for new and old trainees to join the second WCMM research school year, which will start in the fall. Joao Duarte takes over one of the two coordinator positions from Darcy Wagner who together with Anja Meissner launched this new international research s

Four methods for deriving partial atomic charges from the quantum chemical electrostatic potential (CHELP, CHELPG, Merz-Kollman, and RESP) have been compared and critically evaluated. It is shown the charges strongly depend on how and where the potential points are selected. Two alternative methods are suggested to avoid the arbitrariness in the point-selection schemes and van der Waals exclusion
This work originated from that Gambro had a problem with their intensive care dialysis machine, Prismaflex™. The blood tube leading from the machine back to the patient had in some cases creased and stopped the blood flow. Gambro thought that a new or modified warmer holder would prevent this from happening and wanted me to develop this holder. The warmer device heats the blood to body temperature
The main focus of this work is to investigate the performance of some simple radiation models used in the thermal radiative heat transfer calculations in a 55 MWe fixed bed boiler with wet wood-chips as the fuel. An optically thin approach, Rosseland approximation, and the P1-approximation were utilised in the investigation. A new optimised version, as it comes to computational speed, o
Our purpose in this paper is to discuss Swedish nature in a specific context, namely that of ecotourism. The wider framework is the concept of cultural economy in relation to nature. Nature is culturally constructed – given meaning – by the actual doings of e.g. ecotourism operators, and this meaning is transformed into cash flows through tourist practices. It is this cultural construction of natu
Det saknades länge explicit reglering avseende barns rätt till inflytande över den egna vården på hälso- och sjukvårdens område, undantaget vissa regler i speciallagstiftning. På senare år har det införts bestämmelser som uttryckligen markerar barns rätt i svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning hanterar situationer därFor a long time, there was no explicit regulation of children’s right to influence their own care in the field of health care, except for certain rules in special legislation. In recent years, such provisions have been introduced in the Swedish healthcare legislation. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how Swedish health care legislation deals with situations where children without decision
I svensk lagstiftning är en samförståndslösning något som eftersträvas och anses vara barnets bästa. På flera ställen i vår lagbok, bland annat i Föräldrabalken och i Socialtjänstlagen, finns regleringar vad domare och socialtjänstemän är skyldiga att göra för att underlätta en samförståndslösning. Även i Norge ses samförståndslösningar som något positivt. Förutom de frivilliga samtalen på socialk
In this master thesis we investigate the predictive performance of several well-known Value at Risk (VaR) estimation methods, given a specific company setting. The thesis is conducted at a Swedish financial institution that wants to be able to measure foreign exchange (FX) risk induced by cross-currency transactions carried out by the company. The goal of the thesis is to provide empirical evidenc
