In an explorative manner, this article uses a data-driven digital history set-up to focus on how the Swedish Riksdag, its political parties and parliament members discussed media issues. By distant reading and topic modeling a dataset of more than 11,000 parliamentary minutes – approximately 400 million characters – the article gives a new perspective of Swedish media history in general and nation
Diversification of anaerobic digestion into higher value products, namely volatile fatty acids (VFAs), is receiving interest. One of the biggest challenges with this is recovery of the VFAs. Membrane extraction can be used, and a novel process configuration using a non-porous silicone membrane and water for an extractant is proposed here. This process would enable the
We investigate the classicality of linear dipolar droplet arrays through a normal mode analysis of the dynamical properties in comparison to the supersolid regime. The vibrational patterns of isolated-droplet crystals that time-evolve after a small initial kick closely follow the properties of a linear droplet chain. For larger kick velocities, however, droplets may coalesce and separate again, sh
The Eternal Evangel. The Joachimite heritage in Romantic religion: Taking its departure in the 19th-century idea of a “religion of humanity”, this article explores the ideological roots of this powerful vision of a new, higher religion including all human beings regardless of nationality or confession. The vision is highlighted by a close reading of Novalis’ famous text “Die Christenheit oder Euro
Process-based confidential computing enclaves such as Intel SGX can be used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of workloads, without the overhead of virtualisation. However, they introduce a notable performance overhead, especially when it comes to transitions in and out of the enclave context. Such overhead makes the use of enclaves impractical for running IO-intensive applications, suc
The objective of this article is to study the links between the financing of primary education, schooling and economic growth in France in the nineteenth century. To do so, we use information on the financing allocated by the State, the departments, the municipalities, and households over the period 1820–1913. Our analysis is in two stages. First, we analyse the evolution of these different types
We have investigated the surface composition of a well-ordered Pt3Sn(111) surface during CO oxidation with ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Oxidation of tin in the surface coincides with the onset of catalytic conversion, and we observe significant differences in the oxidation state and morphology of the oxide formed depending on the gas composition, with an oxygen-rich mixture l
Freight transport in urban areas needs to become more sustainable. There is much potential to reduce emissions by transitioning to electric freight vehicles (EFVs). The context of this study is Sweden, a country with ambitious goals for transitioning to fossil-free road transport that incentivizes the adoption of EFVs through regulations, subsidies and environmental zones. However, it seems that f
The interactions between oppositely charged multi-indented lock- and spherical key-particles are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations at low volume fractions. The specificity of the interactions is initially investigated in an excess of either lock- or key-particles, and we find ordered clusters with highly directional bonds. This suggests electrostatics alone to be capable of inducing
The study of the production of nuclei and antinuclei in pp collisions has proven to be a powerful tool to investigate the formation mechanism of loosely bound states in high-energy hadronic collisions. In this paper, the production of protons, deuterons and 3He and their charge conjugates at midrapidity is studied as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity in inelastic pp collisions at s=5
In this thesis, functions describing relations between chemical concentrations at equilibrium are studied. The functions have some parameters that are desired to be determined. Based on the properties of the functions, an optimization method will be proposed. Because of these special properties, it is appropriate to consider the residuals in the max norm, since then it is possible to show that the
The microbial community in five commercial Pu-erh tea products and one Liu Bao Cha tea were investigated in this study with the aim to search for beneficial live bacteria. Three different treatments were applied for every tea; non-brewed, brewed with and without leaf filtration. The results showed microbial activity in all teas and particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), except in the Liu Bao Cha
Consider n vertices arranged in a circle where each vertex is given a fitness from {0,1}. At each discrete time step, one of the vertices with fitness equal to zero (unless there are none of those, then pick a vertex with fitness equal to one) is selected with equal probability. Then this vertex and the two neighbouring vertices are each given a new fitness from a Bernoulli(p) distribution indepen
Vi genomför en fallstudie av finanskrisen genom åren 2007 t.o.m. 2011 för USA, Storbritannien och Tyskland. Vi utgår ifrån den österrikiska konjunkturcykelteorin och undersöker om teorin rimligen kan förklara händelserna i våra tre utvalda länder. Vi genomför en deduktiv studie där vi extrapolerar fem hypoteser från den österrikiska konjunkturteorin för att se hur väl konjunkturförloppet motsvararWe perform a case study of the financial crisis through the years 2007 - 2011 for USA, Great Britain and Germany. The Austrian theory of the business cycle is our framework and we examine if the theory reasonably can explain the events in our three chosen countries. We perform a deductive study where we extrapolate five hypotheses from the Austrian theory of the business cycle to see how well the
