The similarity of in-situ and ex-situ absorption/extinction properties was found by comparing data sets obtained in premixed flat ethylene flames (C/O = 0.77); both ex-situ absorption measurements at CNR of Naples and in-situ laser extinction/absorption measurements at Lund University. The optical band gap analysis was performed as a method to separate/evaluate the contributions to the UV–Visible
The measurement of the deuteron and anti-deuteron production in the rapidity range −1
In this study, different flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenases (FADGDHs) were characterized electrochemically after "wiring" them with an osmium redox polymer [Os(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)(2)(PVI)(10)Cl](+) on graphite electrodes. One tested FADGDH was that recently discovered in Glomerella cingulata (GcGDH), another was the recombinant form expressed in Pichia pa
This work describes the research conducted in order to assess possible changes and uncertainties in future energy performance of the residential building stock in Stockholm. The investigation is performed on a sample of 153 existing and statistically selected buildings and covers the period of 1961-2100. Four uncertainty factors of the climate have been considered: global climate models, regional
The aim of this study was to determine whether muscle fibre degeneration brought about by chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation was related to the pattern and frequency of stimulation. Rabbit fast-twitch muscles, tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus, were stimulated for 9 days with pulse trains ranging in frequency from 1.25 Hz to 10 Hz. Histological data from these muscles were
En fri rörlighet för tjänster inom EU innebär en fri rätt för arbetsgivare att tillhandahålla tjänster på lika villkor i alla medlemsstater. Rätten till tjänsters fria rörlighet har dock gett upphov till en rad olika problem när det kommer till området för utstationering av arbetstagare. För att förhindra arbetsgivare från att exploatera sin arbetskraft genom social dumpning vid utstationering har
Antalet aktiesparare ökar varje år. Psykologin på finansmarknaden är komplicerad och beskrivs idag som en orsak till marknadens irrationella avvikelser. Det är därför viktigt att öka förståelsen för psykologins magnitud och dess koppling till variationen bland privata aktiesparares framgång. Den aktuella studien syftade till att undersöka relevanta psykologiska aspekter inom finansiellt risktagand
Purpose - The aim of this paper is to analyze Artificial Intelligence in the music industry in order to provide an indication of how Artificial Intelligence is expected to continue impacting the connection between the consumer and the brand. Design/methodology/approach - The study is based on a qualitative single case study method and it discusses how Spotify has incorporated Artificial Intellige
Due to society’s modernization and climate changes, transboundary crisis is becoming more severe. This means that communication in many cases needs to be virtual, especially via radio, instead of face-to-face. At the same time, there is a willingness to co-locate in a greater extent. The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding of how the means of communication affects the outcome of a
Women in rural areas of South Africa battle with many structural issues, including unemployment, education and accessibility to health services, greatly delimiting family planning. However, socially constructed and internalized gender norms pose an additional and potentially greater barrier to family planning in traditional and patriarchal settings. This thesis aims to contribute to the growing re
A previous study found that oxygen can promote the growth of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and PTA 4659 (Koendjbiharie, 2015). However, the presence of oxygen is a cause of H2O2 accumulation, which can result in impaired growth. The first part of this project was to investigate survivability of cells when treated with H2O2. The results revealed that the higher the concentration of H2O2, the lowe
The aim of this report was to investigate the prominence effect as an underlying reason for saved-lives insensitivity in moral decision-making. Saved-lives insensitivity, the tendency to help fewer rather than more victims, causes unnecessary suffering. Why this tendency occurs is still unknown, but the prediction of this study was that the prominence effect is an underlying mechanism. The promine
Despite being aware of the health risks associated with making “bad” health decisions, we seem to deny our personal vulnerability to the harmful effects of poor health behavior. Aiming to explore whether the harmful effects associated with poor health behavior are personalized once our peers suffer from them, reflected by improved health behavior and referred to as “peer effects”, this study uses
To recover from armed conflicts, state authorities need to take on measures that will permit statebuilding to happen. Usually, the first type of measures put into place is the adoption of programmes called Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR). Because they target individuals who are deemed potential threats to the success of the peace process, namely combatants, DDR programmes are s
