Conservation and consistency are fundamental properties of discretizations of conservation laws, necessary to ensure physically meaningful solutions. In the context of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, conservation and consistency additionally play an important role in convergence theory via the Lax-Wendroff theorem. Here, these concepts are extended to the realm of iterative meth
This paper constructs annual GDP estimates for Ireland (1924-47) to join the first complete official aggregates. The new series is deployed to revisit Ireland’s economic performance in the post-independence decades. Ireland’s economy grew at 1.5 per cent per annum and average living standards improved by 40 per cent. The bulk of this growth was due to labour productivity improvements. Starting in
Most forensic psychiatric patients are diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Psychotherapy is recognized as an important part of treatment for this patient population, yet no clinical guidelines exist. This mixed-method systematic review aimed to evaluate the scope, quality, and findings of psychotherapy research involving this population. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute
A lot of previous research has studied the effect that social capital has on trust in the police and describe a person's social network as an important part in deciding the level of social capital, but none have analyzed social relationships and interactions by itself. This study examines the association between social relationships and interactions, generalized trust and trust in the police i
In ultra high-energy collisions, nuclei with very low binding energies are not expected to survive the dense and hot final state environment. The traditional view has therefore been that nuclei form via coalescence after the hot environment has dissipated. However, statistical thermal models, where hadrons are produced from a fireball at thermal equilibrium, can describe the relative abundances of
With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024. A multi-method strategy was applied, including drone footage, human obs

The aim of the National Quality Registries is to monitor the outcome of healthcare given to patients. The Swedish Quality register for otosclerosis surgery is one of the nine official national registers for ear, nose and throat diseases in Sweden. Since 2004, surgical and audiological results and patient satisfaction scores have been systematically collected from a majority of the ear, nose and th
The preservatives imidazolidinyl urea (IMID, Germall 115) and diazolidinyl urea (DU, Germall II) are commonly used in cosmetic products and are well-known sensitizers. The aim of the present study was to establish the optimal patch test concentration in hydrophilic dried-in vehicle (TRUE Test) for IMID and DU. 181 patients were included in the study. Of these, 150 were patients referred for patch
The paper is concerned with coordinate representations for rigid parts in multibody dynamics. The discussion is based on the general theory of the dynamics of multibody systems under constraints. General configuration coordinates are introduced and the requirement of their regularity is discussed. The use of Euler angles, quaternions and linear coordinates, where quaternions and linear coordinates
Ethnography is a very abstract concept, but often perceived as a very concrete practice, but what is hidden in the slippage between the abstract and concrete, as ethnography moves. While a great deal has been written and debated about the practices, methods and outcomes of applied research, and we appreciate these debates, our own point of departure lies in a curiosity over what happens in the pro
This paper explores the impact of recent policy reforms on civil society in Sweden, including the new Civil Society Strategy. Historically Sweden's civil society organizations (CSOs) have played a crucial role in enhancing political participation and accountability, strengthening democracy and human rights. However, recent changes have raised concerns about reduced communication, transparency,
För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vidAt present, the construction industry accounts for a significant part of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. Resource efficiency is low and the raw materials currently used are not utilized in an efficient manner. There is no doubt that the consumption of natural resources is a problem, something that can be improved by, for example, increasing the degree of reuse in the material flow an
Auditory Attention Decoding (AAD) aims to determine the focus of a listener’s attention in environments with multiple overlapping speakers, a challenging situation for hearing impaired patients known as the Cocktail Party Problem. This thesis investigates AAD using Whisper, a transformer-based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system that performs a graded transformation from speech to text while
