The aim of this thesis was to characterize a personal denuder/filter sampler for isocyanate aerosol and to study the emission of airborne particles from the interaction between studded tires and pavements. Both types of aerosols are highly relevant for health studies in public and occupational environments. The adverse health effects of airborne isocyanate exposure are well known in the occupatio
The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets. In this thesis, it is assesse
This thesis aims to explore the workflow related to designing an application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP). An ASIP is a processor similar to a hardware accelerator (HAC) in terms of performance and efficiency, but containing elements of general purpose processors (GPPs) when it comes to programmability and flexibility. The thesis centers around the design of an ASIP which will handle
Readouts that define the physiological distributions of drugs in tissues are an unmet challenge and at best imprecise, but are needed in order to understand both the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties associated with efficacy. Here we demonstrate that it is feasible to follow the in vivo transport of unlabeled drugs within specific organ and tissue compartments on a platform that appli
MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to
Mutual fund savings in Sweden has during the last 40 years gone from close to nil to represent a large portion of the private and public savings within the country. However, in recent years, the occurrence of closet indexing has been brought to light by researchers and media. Closet indexing is considered to be the fund manager’s failure to manage the fund portfolio as actively as is otherwise adv
I takt med en ökande befolkningsmängd och den pågående digitaliseringsprocessen, finns det ett behov av en effektiv planeringsprocess. I Sverige finns det både nationella och internationella mål som berör detta. Detaljplaner är ett viktigt verktyg för att reglera planeringsprocessen. Vid nybyggnationer och förtätningar av städer krävs det att analyser utförs för att säkerställa att krav på buller,In line with an increasing population and the ongoing digitization process, there is a need for an effective planning process. In Sweden, there are both national and international goals that concern this. Zoning plans are an important tool for regulating the planning process. In the case of new constructions and densification of cities, it is required that analyzes are carried out to ensure that r
Understanding how affect interacts with the neural dynamics of syntactic processing remains an open question in neurolinguistics. While syntactic anomaly detection has been extensively characterised through electrophysiological markers such as LAN and P600, the extent to which pervasive affective states, or moods, modulate these components is still poorly understood. Existing studies suggest that
This thesis investigates the possibilities for simulating spray cooling in pressurizer systems in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) using OpenFOAM. Spray cooling in pressurizers is part of the mechanism for regulating the pressure. The multiphase flow associated with the process is highly complex and difficult to study experimentally due to harsh operating conditions. An improved understanding of
Background: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common yet challenging condition with limited effective treatments. Elastic compression stockings (ECS) have been proposed as a potential therapy, but their real-world effectiveness remains unclear. Objectives: This study sought to compare the effectiveness of lower extremity compression with thigh-high ECS vs sham stockings for the prevention of VVS recurr
Traits that affect organismal fitness are often very genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature (after all) “selects” the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short. Explaining the extensive genetic variation of fitness-related traits is thus a longstanding puzzle in evolutionary biol

Drawing upon Transition and Technological Innovation Systems' theory, the author analyzed the process by which the Nicaraguan electricity sub-sector transitions towards renewable energy generation, the actors and networks of actors that play central parts in this process, the regulatory infrastructure that frames actors' actions and the factors and mechanisms that drive and block technolog
The amount of electronic information is growing continuously in the corporate world and companies need to make sure to have a good solution for it to make effective use of time and document handling. A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to
