Society is undergoing a great transformation with regard to the climate crisis, where electrification plays a crucial role in decarbonizing. To meet the future energy demand, improving power grid utilization is essential. This thesis develops standardized methods to evaluate and identify key parameters in terms of impact and branch loading, and to determine the probability of load flow scenarios u

Factory Detectives: Uncovering Hidden Performance Secrets Imagine a factory line, running with tireless precision, a relentless ballet between machines and human. But what if a closer look reveals that efficiency isn't just about what meets the eye? Embark with me on a detailed exploration inside a gas cylinder plant, seeking to understand its true operational dynamics. To begin our investig

Abstract Title: The economic impact of posted workers in construction projects Author: Johanna Stenberg Supervisor: Radhlinah Aulin, Division of Construction Management Examiner: Rikard Sundling, Division of Construction Management Aim & goal: The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the economic differences that incurr when employing posted workers compared to swedish la

Morgondagens energisystem står inför stora utmaningar och snabba förändringar både i Sverige och i världen. För att nå ambitiösa klimatmål ses elektrifiering som en viktig lösning på problemen, där Svenska Kraftnät räknar med en nära fördubbling av efterfrågan på el till 2045. Denna ökning, till stor del driven av förnybara energikällor som är svårare att planera och pronosticera, innebär betydandThe energy system of tomorrow faces major challenges and rapid changes both in Sweden and worldwide. To achieve ambitious climate targets, electrification is seen as a key solution, with the Swedish TSO projecting a near doubling of electricity demand by 2045. This increase, driven largely by renewable and intermittent energy sources, poses significant challenges for grid stability. Consequently,

INTRODUCTION: We investigated the natural history of the relationship between PSA at age 60 and lifetime risk of prostate cancer death in an unscreened cohort followed for 40 years, the Malmö Preventive Project. We also investigated whether percent free PSA could risk-stratify men with low PSAs.METHODS: The cohort included 1162 men aged 58-62 at blood draw in 1981-82, with 1151 deaths by December

The co-occurrence of α-synuclein (αSyn) and Tau in synucleinopathies and tauopathies suggests a complex interplay between these proteins. Their cross-seeding enhances fibrillization, leading to the formation of diverse amyloid-specific structures enriched with β-sheets, which may influence their biological functions. However, existing tools cannot differentiate structural polymorphs directly in ce

Separating how surface and subsurface species affect catalytic function is a challenging task in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly when deposition and segregation take place at reaction conditions. Here, we report on an operando approach to establish surface/subsurface/function correlations. Using temperature modulations we oscillate carbon deposition and segregation over a Pd catalyst. Cataly

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe how the use of diagnostic imagingfor prostate cancer (PCa) has evolved over time and to determine whether thereare any differences in access to diagnostic imaging, type of cancers detected, andmortality based on the education level of patients.Methods: 11,063 men were recruited between 1991 and 1996 and thenprospectively followed until 2020. All new

Two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) is a low-frequency analog of two-dimensional optical spectroscopy that is rapidly maturing as a probe of a wide variety of condensed matter systems. However, a persistent problem with 2DTS is the long experimental acquisition times, which prevent its broader adoption. A potential solution, requiring no increase in experimental complexity, is signal rec

Newts have large genomes harbouring many repeat elements. How these elements shape the genome and relate to newts’ unique regeneration ability remains unknown. We present here the chromosome-scale assembly of the 20.3Gb genome of the Iberian ribbed newt, Pleurodeles waltl, with a hitherto unprecedented contiguity and completeness among giant genomes. We provide evidence that intronic repeat elemen

The enhancement of the electromagnetic field elicited by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is conducive to the generation of charge carriers, which have an important effect in driving many kinds of chemical reactions. Nonetheless, the short lifespan of charge carriers generated by plasmon (typically femtoseconds to nanoseconds) limits their effectiveness in promoting chemical reactions. H

We assessed if fasting plasma insulin levels in pregnant women with obesity are associated with newborns’ abdominal fat deposition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and with cord blood DNA methylation (450k array) in 232 mother–child pairs from the Treatment of Obese Pregnant women (TOP) study. Fasting maternal insulin at 18-20gw was associated with abdominal/total fat mass ratio in newborns inde

In case of alcohol situations on work places, there are lots of different expressions and definitions as alcohol abuse, alcoholism, chronic alcoholism, alcohol disease, occasional cases of alcohol abuse and alcohol abuse of disease character. The purpose with this paper is to investigate which value different definitions of alcohol problems has got in connection to employers rehabilitation respons

Now AI is being used nearly in everything we have. Ranging from hand-wrest watches to household systems used inside houses. According to a report by McKinsey and Co, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant impact on the economy in the coming years, with the potential to add trillions of dollars annually to the global economy. Furthermore, advances in algorithms and data coll

Talking about inclusion in the workplace is an emerging concept, and the pressure of committing to work with it rests on the companies. The research conducted around inclusion is growing, and there are different suggestions as to how to define and work with the concept. Moreover, companies are lacking evidence to support how to successfully measure it among employees. By exploring inclusion in a s
