This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans
När personer i ledande ställning inom ett bolag äger stora aktieposter i bolaget brukar det tolkas som en positiv signal på de finansiella marknaderna. Samtidigt är insiders förehavanden strikt reglerade och inom EU sker detta genom marknadsmissbruksförordningen (MAR). Denna uppsats fokuserar på det så kallade handelsförbudet i artikel 19.11 MAR. Handelsförbudet innebär att personer i ledande stälA management of a company with “skin in the game”, meaning insiders owning a considerable amount of stock, is seen as a positive signal on the markets. At the same time, insider dealings is a heavily regulated area, which in the EU is constituted by the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). The focus of this essay is on the trade prohibition in article 19.11 MAR, which stipulates that persons discharging
Children are not only negatively affected by being exposed to violence themselves, but they are also affected by witnessing violence. For example, mental health issues and not getting the support that they need. In 2021, the law “barnfridsbrott” came into effect, making it illegal to allow a child to witness violence between people they have a close relationship with. This study is about the conce
Study purpose: The maritime shipping industry, particularly the commercial sector, is a significant contributor to carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Various solutions are being proposed to enhance the sector's sustainability, including the adoption of wind propulsion technologies. However, the economic feasibility of these technologies on a large scale remains uncertain. Despite th
De senaste tio åren har antalet sökta bygglov för småhus med träregelstomme mer än fördubblats. I dagsläget finns inget allmänt krav att säkerställa horisontalkapacitet för småhus men är något som beställaren kan efterfråga och som många konstruktörer någon gång upplevt problematiskt. Projekteringsfasen kan bli tidskrävande där lösningar för att fastställa kapacitet mot vindlast blir dyra och kompIn the last ten years, the number of building permits applied for houses with timber frame structure has more than doubled. Today, there is no general requirement to establish horizontal capacity, but is something that can be demanded and that many structural engineers have occasionally experienced as problematic. The design phase can then be time-consuming, where solutions for determining capacit
För att effektivt hantera risker inom olika områden är kompetens avgörande, och träning utgör en väsentlig komponent för att uppnå denna kompetens. Denna rapport syftar till att utforska potentialen hos spel som en träningsmetod specifik för riskhantering. Resultaten antyder att spel utgör en lovande och effektiv metod för att träna och utveckla färdigheter inom riskhantering. RiskhanterinThe way education and learning are structured is constantly evolving. Today, education is taking on a more digital approach, with books, paper, and pen being phased out. This is largely due to technological advancements, which open up new ways of thinking about how education can be delivered. A new focus in education has been to involve students on an emotional level in order to increase their
RNA-seq has become a revolutionary tool for genome-wide gene expression analysis, opening new possibilities for research. This study focuses on using RNA-seq data for variant calling at Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a non-model organism, the bank vole. Variant calling from RNA-seq can for example be used for Allele-Specific Expression (ASE) analysis which sheds light on the impact of genetic
Background Obesity is increasing among patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but bariatric surgery has been rare in this group owing to concerns about worsening the inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate inflammatory bowel disease-related outcomes following bariatric surgery. Methods Nationwide cohort of all adult patients in Sweden between 2007 and 2020 with obesity
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the United States with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently both biomarkers and therapies for CO poisoning are limited and require new approaches. Methods: Rats (~ 300 g) were divided into four grou
Every day, new decisions are made, ranging from trivial to critical, and their impact can vary greatly. Despite these differences, all decisions share a common goal: to choose the best possible action based on the knowledge available at the time. In some cases, past events offer little insight into what lies ahead. However, in many situations, especially in structured environments, historical patt
Rationale, Aims and Objectives: Colonoscopy, though common, can be uncomfortable, necessitating routine assessment of patient experience per European guidelines. Positive patient experiences are crucial as they influence willingness for repeat procedures. Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) effectively capture patient perspectives through surveys, empowering patients to influence healthca
Background and Aims The prognosis of adult-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and prognostic factors are sparsely investigated. This study assessed mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and prognostic factors in adult-onset T1D, particularly focusing on those diagnosed at age ≥40. Methods Participants were people diagnosed with adult-onset T1D (n = 10 184) or type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 37
Persistent Pain (PP) in children often has a high impact on their functioning. Knowledge about how to meet the needs is insufficient, especially regarding younger children, children with comorbid psychiatric health conditions, and within different national contexts. A specialized pediatric pain clinic for PP in Sweden offers assessment and interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation (IPR) and collects d
Ibrutinib was approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) based on high response rates in clinical trials, but it is unclear how effective ibrutinib is in the real-world setting. This study provides population-based response rates and survival estimates and characterization of prognostic indicators and adverse events (AEs) to ibrutinib for patients with R/R MCL. All patients
PurposeBlockchain technology (BCT) is a novel and disruptive innovation that can transform procurement processes in various industries, including the food sector. BCT can offer benefits such as transparency, traceability, security, and efficiency for procuring food products, which are essential for ensuring food security and quality. However, BCT faces several challenges that hinder its adoption a
Subject motion and eddy-current distortions represent significant challenges in diffusion MRI, particularly for clinical protocols utilizing "half-sphere" sampling. While the current gold standard, FSL’s eddy, employs Gaussian Process (GP) predictions to correct these artifacts, its performance can degrade under specific acquisition constraints, most notably when sampling lacks antipodal
In this work, we derive the relationship between the states of strain and stress in pseudomorphic epitaxial layers on a substrate with differing equilibrium lattice parameters under symmetry-conserving conditions for the case of monoclinic crystal symmetry. We compare surface vectors across the template-epitaxial layer interface and impose conditions of a stress-free epitaxial layer. As a result,
We report the discovery of two warm exoplanets orbiting the cool binary system TOI-2267, composed of the M5 (TOI-2267A) and M6 (TOI-2267B) stars, whose angular separation is 0.384 arcsec, corresponding to a projected distance of only about 8 au at 22 pc from the Solar System. To confirm the planetary nature of these objects, we combined photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TE
Despite the breadth of change management research, limited attention has been paid to how change management practices are adapted to specific organizational contexts. This review addresses this gap by examining how context is conceptualized in relation to change management. Based on a contingency approach, which underscores that processes and structures of an organization need to be adapted to the
Children undergoing surgery for posterior fossa tumours (PFT) may experience postoperative language and communication difficulties, regardless of whether they develop cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) or not. While these language difficulties are increasingly recognised in current research, children’s own experiences of everyday communication remain limited. In this presentation, we share findings
