The rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in many countries urges the need to make informed decisions on the location and size of the required charging infrastructure. This paper’s main contribution is a novel method to position fast-charging stations based on the transportation energy demand and to evaluate the performance of such charging infrastructure. Depending on their r

project is about trying to create a concepts which represents responsible consumption and responsible production. Since my title of thesis is named “ Product Care Project” I have tried to think how products designed with care would look like. PROBLEM Through this project I am responding to intentionally produced goods for shorter life cycle and a strict control to prevent users to repair or main

Akut hjärtsjukdom, som bland annat innefattar hjärtinfarkt och vissa typer av kärlkramp, utgör idag en ledande orsak till lidande och död i världen. På svenska akutmottagningar söker varje år cirka 180 000 patienter för bröstsmärta, vilket kan vara ett symtom på någon av ovanstående sjukdomar. För att snabbt komma fram till rätt diagnos ska ansvarig läkare väga samman patientens sjukdomshistoria, Introduction: There is a need for risk stratification of emergency department (ED) chest pain patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score (GRACE RS) predicts adverse events in patients with confirmed acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and has been validated on unselected ED patients with chest pain. Clinical gestalt is the unstructured overall clinical assessment, based on the ph

The aim of this study was to examine how social workers within the social services in Sweden worked with and defined the child rights principle “the Best Interests of the Child”, which derives from Article 3 of the UN Convention on the “Rights of the Child”. The study is limited to only examining social workers that have been working with children of parents with substance abuse issues. More speci

The aim of this project was to examine if it is feasible to develop and apply a reuse concept regarding clean in place (CIP) processes. The concept is based on different topics such as lim-itation, structure, future and reliability. Three CIP processes were chosen to represent the wide variety of cleaning processes available to the food and pharmaceutical industries, Single use Food, Recovery Food

It has been said that all architectural eras tend to reach their lowest point of popularity somewhere in their 30s. During an internship, I experienced it first hand when I worked with an area in development in Stockholm. The strategy for the area was to demolish most of its buildings from the 1980s and 90s, buildings that are relatively young. I perceive the strategy as an expression for a genera

Flexicurity is a union of the English words flexibility and security. The union of the two words to one common term, hints that flexibility and security does not have to be each others counterparts in order to achieve good economical development and employment. Flexicurity, as it is found in Denmark, is described as a three part model composed of active labour market politics, generous financial c

In this study we investigated the impact of water uptake by aerosol particles in ambient atmosphere on their optical properties and their direct radiative effect (ADRE, W m(-2)) in the Arctic at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, during 2008. To achieve this, we combined three models, a hygroscopic growth model, a Mie model and a radiative transfer model, with an extensive set of observational data. We found t

Vid avdelningen för kärnfysik utvecklas för närvarande andra generationens Ir-koincidensspektrometer. Anledningen till detta är att det finns ett stort behov bland geologer att mäta spårkvantiteter av Iridium i olika geologiska skikt för att korrelera skiktens ålder med eventuella stora meteoritnedslag. Första generationens spektrometer byggde på en dubbelkoincidens mätt med två HPGe-detektorer, mPresently, the development of the second generation Ir coincidence spectrometer is talking place at the division of Nuclear Physics. There is a large need among geologists to measure trace quantities of Ir in different geological layers and correlate the age of the layer with different large meteorite impacts. The first generation Ir spectrometer was based on a coincidence measured by two HPGe det

28MOD_Sustainability draft LTH:s 13:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 4 december 2025 Abstract— As engineering faculties strive to educate students equipped to navigate accelerating polycrises, a persistent challenge is embedding sustainability coherently across curricula at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. This paper articulates and discusses a contextual, multi-level model

Objectives: Our aim was to compare direct costs for single pill combinations (SPCs) and free-drug combinations for hypertension treatment. Methods: We focused on Australia as a case study and reviewed total costs, and for the patient and government. We reviewed the Australian “Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme item drug map” considering different thresholds for the government safety net. Total costs

This study examines how section managers within social services describe their scope of action and preventive work in relation to stress and exhaustion among social workers. Work-related exhaustion is a major cause of sick leave in Sweden, and social services constitute a particularly high-risk context due to heavy workloads, emotional demands, and organizational constraints. Using a qualitative r

According to Swedish legislation (LVM) compulsory treatment shall be decided on if someone, due to ongoing abuse of alcohol, drugs or volatile solvents, is in need of care to overcome abuse and if a voluntary intervention is not possible. Very little research has been conducted in Sweden on this particular legislation with regard to the clients' experiences of entire process from assessment to aft

Image and flow cytometry was used to study the nuclear DNA content (ploidy) during the squamous cell carcinogenesis in the esophagus. The present retrospective study comprised 26 surgical specimens of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) in patients who underwent surgery alone at the Department of Surgery in CHUV Hospital in Lausanne, between January 1992 and December 1999. We analyzed 53 healthy tissue

MSH2 rearrangements are involved in approximately 10% of hereditary non,polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) families, and in most of the rearrangements, exon I is deleted. We scanned by quantitative multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF) 200 kb of genomic sequences upstream of the MSH2 transcription initiation site in 21 HNPCC families with exon I deletion

We assessed the outcome of surgical and endovascular treatment in patients in poor (Hunt & Hess IV or V) grade following subarachnoid haemorrhage due to anterior circulation aneurysm (ACA). There were 41 patients, treated surgically (20), by the endovascular route (20) or both (1). The aneurysms were clipped in 20 patients, wrapped in one; 19 were treated with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC),

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a recognised risk factor for hypertension (HT). The current authors investigated confounders of this association in a sex-balanced community-based sample of patients with HT (n=161) from the Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project (n=1,149) and normotensive controls (n=183) from an age and sex stratified community-based population sample (n=1,109).
