Popular Abstract in Swedish Abstract Hydrogen embrittlement is a degradation process of mechanical/tribological properties (toughness, wear etc.) of mating steel surfaces. This is caused by the presence and interaction of hydrogen with applied stresses. Therefore, it is important to quantify the hydrogen content which could be dissolved under applied stresses in steel.

This is caused by the presence and interaction of hydrogen with applied stresses. Therefore, it is important to quantify the hydrogen content which could be dissolved under applied stresses in steel. Water contamination of lubricants is often considered as
This review paper focuses on modelling of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). White-box modelling is widely applied in this field, with learning, design and process optimisation as the main applications. The introduction of the ASM model family by the IWA task group was of great importance, providing researchers and practitioners with a standardised set of basis models. This paper introduces the n
OBJECTIVE: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a peripheral arterial disease manifested by drastically diminished blood flow to the legs, pain at rest, nonhealing wounds, and gangrene caused by atherosclerosis. Significant tissue necrosis is associated with late stage CLI and the patients have a poor prognosis. Necrotic and apoptotic cells activate complement and bind complement inhibitor C4b-binding
Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have attracted consider- able interest in recent years as a convenient, flexible and low-cost alternative to wired communication infrastructures in many contexts. However, the great majority of research on metropolitan-scale WMN has been centered around max- imization of available bandwidth, suitable for non-real-time applications such as Internet access for the genera
Attitudes towards prenatal diagnosis, and abortion vary widely between different countries, religions, cultures and over time. Carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis (PD) of haemophilia have become an integrated part of the comprehensive care for haemophilia in Sweden as well as in many other countries. Almost all carriers are interested in carrier testing if they are aware of the possibility. Wit
A strategy for nuclear fuel bundle design optimization in boiling water reactors(BWRs), using a simplex method, is presented and examined. The objective of the study is to see how an automatic optimization scheme can create nuclear designs for use in BWR fuel bundles and how the scheme can be improved. Challenges with applying linear simplex optimization to non-linear bundle physics lie in approx
Husby faces great challenges for safety and equality in the public space. Women report that they can not move freely at the city center without feeling oppressed and insecure, and a sense of powerlessness is found among the residents. In 2015 the state-owned housing company Svenska bostäder started up a project called Praxagora, with an aim to create a safe and including public space. To achieve t
Host cell protein (HCP) is quantified in the purification steps of biopharmaceutical production and is part of ensuring the purity of the final drug product. The gold standard method for HCP quantification is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but a new approach is proposed here with fully customized bio-layer interferometry assays for yeast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The new
Bakgrund: Tio procent av kvinnorna i Sverige lever med endometrios som kan leda till svåra smärtor och påverkad livskvalitet. Syfte: Att undersöka hur aktiviteter i hemmet upplevs av kvinnor som lever med endometrios. Metod: Nio kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med kvinnor som lever med endometrios. Datan analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Det övergripande temat var; utfBackground: Ten percent of women in Sweden are living with endometriosis, which can lead to severe pain and affect life quality. Aim: How activities in the home are experienced by women living with endometriosis. Method: Nine qualitative interviews were conducted with women living with endometriosis. Data was analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Results: The overall theme was; The per
The purpose of this study was to examine the thoughts and experiences of children’s investigators of the social services regarding the recent incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Swedish domestic law. By doing so we wished to gain a greater understanding of the practical implications of this new law. Our method was qualitative and the data collected through se
Mergers between organisations is a commonly occurring phenomena in the business world of the 21th century, due to a pursuit of becoming more cost-effective and competitive on a national or international market. This bachelor thesis aims to investigate how employees experience communication strategies and which impact they may have on attitudes when an organisation has been merged, and if it is pos
We live in a time that some choose to call the psychedelic renaissance. Once again, after a period of silence in the scientific world, studies about psychedelics and their effects continues to bring knowledge to the subject. In this renaissance of psychedelics there’s still somewhat a gap in research regarding the recreational use of the substances. The aim of this study has been to seek a better
Background: Today, many companies use a cost-based and sometimes competition-based pricing approach. Since academia agrees that value based pricing is superior for creating profit, the problem is not in identifying an ideal pricing strategy, but to understand and facilitate the transformation process towards value-based pricing. Only a limited amount of research has so far been put on understandin
The number of accidents in the construction industry has always been high and despite the many efforts made by national legislation and the companies themselves they remain alarmingly so. The purpose of this report is to examine how workers see their own working-environment and how they think that safety performance on construction sites may be improved. This is achieved by conducting interviews w
This research addresses the role of social capabilities over the growth trajectory of natural resource (NR) rich developing countries through a case study – an analytical narrative using data from various sources – of the Chilean experience since the early 1900s to the present. The paper adopts a novel framework, which identifies four distinct but interrelated dimensions of social capabilities: tr
Problematic school absenteeism and homebound students have over the years become a great problem in society. Research indicates that both causes for absenteeism and the path back to school are complex. Early detection is crucial to enable students to return to school. What do homebound students say about their situation? In this study, we aimed to explore the perspective of homebound students and
Framställningen utreder huruvida gällande rätt och rättstillämpning avseende tvångsadoption korresponderar med adoptionsinstitutets ändamål på ett tillfredställande vis. Framställningen avser även klargöra gällande rätt och vilka intressen som påverkat institutets utformning. En förutsättning för adoption är att den är till fördel för barnet. Det innebär att en adoption inte kan ske om den inte tiThis thesis investigates whether the current legislation and the application of the law concerning forced adoptions corresponds with the Swedish adoption institute's aim in a satisfactory manner. The paper also pertains to clarify the current legislation and the interests that have influenced the institute’s design. A prerequisite for adoption is that the child benefits from it. This means tha
Problem definition Even though a great deal of research have been done exploring the ERP field, companies still have a hard time determining and obtaining the full potential scope of benefits that comes with a fully working ERP system. Implementing an ERP system is like changing a heart while the patient still is running. It is therefore hard to measure the benefits and the improved efficiencies,
