In recent years, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have gained prominence as a key technology enabling much needed electricity grid flexibility while simultaneously providing distinct value to its end-users. With the anticipated increase of residual value holding used batteries from mobility applications entering the market, more and more companies are looking to construct BESS offers around t

Attitudes of Gen Z and their role in the workplace have been widely studied in the past decades. Even though Gen Z and Millennials have some similar workplace attitudes, the rapid change in technology experienced by Gen Z has inculcated some very unique working attitudes in the new generation, which in turn has impacted their expectations of middle management and their preference for such role

In this work mathematical models of a granulating process plant have been determined. The plant is situated at the SUPRA company, Landskrona Sweden. The product studied is a fertilizer NPK. In the process there are oscillations in the material flow. The models will be used an attempt to explain and hopefully control the process better.

In the first stage it was tried to obtain a physical

Informationssamhällets framväxt bidrar med nya utmaningar för rättsliga regleringar utformade efter traditionella gränser när dessa ska upprätthållas i en gränslös digital miljö. Digitaliseringen av samhället ger upphov till rättsfrågor som inte nödvändigtvis är nya men som placerar dessa i en ny miljö, vilket bidrar till en viss osäkerhet kring rättsläget i många fall. Mot bakgrund av detta behanThe development of the information society brings new challenges to legal constructions created in a landscape of traditional boundaries when these are to be upheld and enforced in a borderless digital environment, mainly due to a technical development that is constantly pushing the boundaries. An increased digitalisation of the society gives rise to not necessarily new legal questions but put the

In this study, Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) quality was analysed through its optical properties. Samples from the estuarine waters of the Beagle Channel and oceanic ones of the Burdwood Bank were examined in order to understand how DOM quality was changing. The focus of the study was to determine whether the environmental variables or the microbial community were the main driver in DOM compositi

The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i

In this thesis, the focus is on the trade relations between Estonia and selected Asian countries based on their importance, aiming to identify the current trade flows, changes within them over time and the reasons behind these changes. Furthermore, the comparative advantage of Estonia in relation to those countries should be revealed. The main research question is how the trade flows have changed

Syftet med denna studie är att utöka kunskapen om fiolundervisning i grupp jämfört med enskild undervisning. Studien bygger på tidigare forskning inom instrumentalundervisning och erfarenheter som olika instrumentalpedagoger har av de två olika undervisningsmetoderna. I denna studie används aktionsforskning som metod. För att samla data har jag filmat fiollektionerna och gjort strukturerade reflekTitle: Violin teacher challenges - A study of violin teaching in a segregated area The purpose of this study is to expand the knowledge of violin teaching in groups versus one to one teaching. The study builds on previous research on instrumental teaching and experiences that different instrumental teachers have from the two different teaching methods.In this study I have used action research as m

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Aerosoler är små partiklar i luften. Partiklarna är uppbyggda av föreningar som kommer från till exempel bilavgaser eller vedeldning. Föreningarna kan också bildas på naturlig väg i växter och avges då främst sommartid. Smog i storstäder är ett tydligt exempel där höga koncentrationer av aerosoler orsakar både försämrad sikt och hälsorisker. En del av aerosolpar

Contemporary precipitation patterns in the Caribbean region are spatially variable, and the small number of Holocene paleoclimatic records may not adequately capture patterns of variation in the past. The hydrological history of Grenada was inferred from paleolimnological analyses of sediment cores from two crater lakes on the island. The basins were formed by volcanic activity some time during th

The purpose of this study was to analyse and describe the homelessness in the city of Lund. More specifically the aim was to describe the problem from different actors' points of view. The central questions were: How does the problem with homelessness appear in Lund? For what reasons does homelessness still exist according to the actors who come in contact with the problem? Who is responsible

The Internet is a unique medium never before seen and its introduction is probably only rivalled by that of television. It is unique in the sense that every person connected to the Internet has the possibility of interacting with other people across the globe simultaneously. The tools introduced to facilitate this interaction are IP-addresses and domain names. Domain names are connected to the IP-

Hals- och huvudregionen innehåller många luftkaviteter t.ex. luftstrupe, bihålor och munhåla. Detta arbete undersökte vad som händer i vävnaden kring dessa luftkaviteter när de blir bestrålade med fotoner och hur bra ett dosplaneringssystem för strålbehandling modellerar den absorberade dosen till ett heterogent medium. Dosberäkningarna gjordes med hjälp av ett Monte Carlo-simuleringsprogram somPurpose: To study the build-down and build up of the absorbed dose at the interface between air and tissue in the head and neck region. Monte Carlo simulations are compared to a treatment planning system that is used at the University Hospital in Lund. Materials and methods A virtual phantom was constructed to resemble an air cavity in the head and neck region. The phantom consisted of a water cyl

The occurrence of a series of thin but persistent early Cambrian (Cambrian Age 4) brachiopod shell concentrations extending along a transect of some 150 km in NE Greenland, indicates the ability of the group to form widespread, skeletal pavements very early in the history of the phylum, its gregarious behaviour and ability to harness available nutrients. These extensive shell pavements within the

The main advantages of polymer gears in comparison to metal gears are low manufacturing costs for mass production, vibration damping and no need for lubricant. In the literature and guidelines, the allowable gear endurance limits for bending and contact stresses are mainly given for polyamides (PA) and polyacetals (POM). The large number of suitable polymer gear materials is available, but the sta

IntroductionMild parkinsonian signs (MPS) have been characterized by several definitions, using the motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of MPS and their association with functional level and comorbidities in the oldest old.MethodCommunity-dwelling older adults (n = 559, median age 85, range 80–102 years) were examined regarding
