The paper deals with numerical investigations of load-bearing capacity and fracture behaviour of Cross Laminated Timber at in-plane shear loading. Focus is on shear failure mechanism III, i.e. failure in the crossing areas between flatwise bonded laminations, and on evaluating test methods for that failure mode. In current design provisions, this failure mode is characterised by the rolling shear

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive malignancy that develops in a unique tumor microenvironment (TME). However, cell models for studying the TME in PM are still limited. Here, we have generated and characterized novel human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-transduced mesothelial cell and mesothelioma-associated fibroblast (Meso-CAF) models and investigated their impact on PM cell gr

The cleaning process of the bimetallic Pt3Sn(111) surface has been studied by means of low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM), microspot low-energy electron diffraction (μ-LEED), and X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM). Different cleaning procedures, performed under ultra-high vacuum conditions (UHV), including sputtering with argon ions and repeated cycles of annealing up to 1500 K wer

Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) has a great potential to be established as a high-performance and low-capital cost technology for hydrogen production. High current densities can be achieved with non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalyst. However, the harsh operation conditions require stable cell components. Here, we report on the use of a highly stable and ion conductive poly

Introduction: The sixth Åland Islands Conference on von Willebrand disease (VWD) on the Åland Islands, Finland, was held from 20 to 22 September 2018. Aim: The meeting brought together experts in the field of VWD from around the world to share the latest advances and knowledge in VWD. Results and discussion: The topics covered both clinical aspects of disease management, and biochemical and labora

Background and purpose — Information on outcomes after some modern total ankle replacement (TAR) designs is scarce. We therefore examined outcomes after trabecular metal (TM) TAR in Sweden by use of data from the national registry. Patients and methods — On December 31, 2020, 239 primary TM TARs had been reported to the Swedish Ankle Registry. We analyzed prosthesis survival probability, using exc

GTP-cyclohydrolase deficiency in dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) patients impairs the biosynthesis of dopamine, but also of serotonin. The high prevalence of non-motor symptoms suggests involvement of the serotonergic pathway. Our study aimed to investigate the serotonergic system in vivo in the brain of`DRD patients and correlate this to (non-)motor symptoms. Dynamic [11C]DASB PET scans, a marker

Photonic materials for high-temperature applications need to withstand temperatures usually higher than 1000 °C, whilst keeping their function. When exposed to high temperatures, such nanostructured materials are prone to detrimental morphological changes, however the structure evolution pathway of photonic materials and its correlation with the loss of material's function is not yet fully underst

Denna studie syftar undersöka hur och med vilka intentioner hållbarhet integreras och implementeras av organisationer i en delningsekonomisk kontext. Vidare ämnar studien bidra till fältet för hållbarhetsvarumärkning, där föga forskning har utförts med avsikt att sammanbinda hållbarhetsvarumärkning med delningsekonomi. Tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer med VD:s och marknadsansvariga utfördes med sThis study intends to explore how and with what intentions organisations within a sharing economy context choose to integrate and implement the concept of sustainability. It further aims to contribute to the field of sustainability branding, where very limited research has been carried out in regards of sustainability branding within a context of sharing economy. Twelve semi-structured interviews

This thesis is a meta-evaluation of a specific evaluation; "Demokrati och delaktighet? Delrapport om Storstadssatsningen i Fosie, Hyllie och Södra Innerstaden" . My thesis concerns two of the three district city councils mentioned in the title, in the City of Malmö, and their way of handling the government initiative Storstadssatsningen. The initiative is aiming to promote strategies to

The purpose of our essay, was to examine how it's like for a child growing up with a psychiatric disordered parent. We have chosen to see this from two perspectives, the professionals who meet children with a psychiatric disordered parent in their work, and now grown-up children who have own experience of this. Our questions were: - How did the childhood with a psychiatric disordered parent lo

Safe water is a widespread problem in developing countries. In 2004 The United Nations formed the Lake Victoria Region Water and Sanitation Initiative, which focuses on increasing the water quality and basic sanitation in both rural- and urban areas. The government of Uganda is a part of the initiative, since the quality of the drinking water in the country persists to be a widespread problem. In

In order to understand how the Pleistocene glacial cycles have influenced the diversification in the Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) subspecies complex, we conducted a multilocus phylogeographic study. We analysed DNA sequences from 32 breeding populations, covering the species’ Palearctic distribution, and used population genetics, phylogenetic and coalescent methods to uncover genetic struct

Defective logic on Furutorpsgatan - An identification of present problems and proposed measures Helsingborg City is in the progress to make new maintenance measures on Furutorpsgatan. In relation to that, improvements to the streetscape, is also planned. Therefore a description on which problems that occurs with the current design of Furutorpsgatan, and possible measures to improve the situation h

Denna studie behandlar den komplexa karaktären hos snölaviner och hur de kan förutsägas, och därmed undvikas, vid navigering genom fjällterräng under vinteraktiviteter. Risken för laviner i skidområdet Nuolja, i norra Sverige, utvärderades genom en experimentell tillämpning av The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) som är en modell utvecklad för planering och bedömning av lavinexponering. ModThis study addresses the complex nature of snow avalanches and how their location can be predicted, and thus avoided, when navigating through mountainous terrain during winter recreations. The avalanche risk in the ski area of Nuolja, in northern Sweden, was evaluated by an experimental implementation of the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) which is a model for pre-trip planning and assessm

Hirham5, a weather model developed at DMI, does not have a very good approximation for the snow albedo. To make the model better a snow albedo code, based on Dickenssen’s equation for snow albedo, was implemented in the model where the albedo depended on more variables than just the temperature. This change is important since the radiation contributes more to the melt than the temperature. The sur

2010 trädde en lagändring i kraft som medförde att vårdnadshavare ålades ett strikt ansvar för skador som deras barn vållat genom brott. Syftet med regleringen var att den skulle verka brottspreventivt och minska förekomsten av ungdomsbrottslighet. Framställningens syfte har varit att utreda detta ansvar och att jämföra med ansvaret som arbetsgivare har för sina arbetstagare. Vårdnadshavares ansIn 2010 an amendment was made that made legal guardians subject to strict liability for damages caused by their children, if the damages were caused as a result of a criminal offence. The purpose was to decrease juvenile delinquency. The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the liability and to compare it with employer’s liability for an employee’s torts. The liability is regulated in

The aim of this qualitative field study was to investigate and analyse Samburu men’s perspective on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Samburu, Kenya. The chosen subjects to examine were the men’s perspective of the practice of FGM/C itself, the process of change of mind and their involvement in ending FGM/C. To achieve this aim, in-depth interviews were made with 10 men in the surroundi
