The soot particle size distribution was studied via numerical simulation under diesel like engine conditions using a detailed kinetic soot model. Two different mathematical methods of the soot model description have been used in this work. In the first part of the work, the method of moments is presented. In addition, a so called sectional method for the soot particle size distribution function in
Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are severe neurodevelopmental disorders with the male:female ratio of 4:1, implying the contribution of X chromosome genetic factors to the susceptibility of ASD. The ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10) gene, located on chromosome Xq28, codes for a key protein in assembling large ribosomal subunit and protein synthesis. Two non-synonymous mutations of RPL10,
This book is particularly concerned with examining the creation of the Öresund region, a process that represents the internationalization and geopolitical changes in the world, where new industrial regions emerge in competition for growth and wealth. The emerging Öresund region is a new type of industrial region – a transnational region that is difficult to analyze in a traditional way, for examp
Cast in-situ concrete is the most frequently used materials technology worldwide within production of structural frames in multi-storey residential buildings. In Sweden, this technology dominates the market but is challenged by other competitive production methods. The criticism concerns issues as for instance short slab spans (limited flexibility for future refurbishment), long production times,
The care of demented patients requires clear communication during care procedures. Earlier studies have shown that nurses were often vague in their verbal communication and unpublished observations indicated that in some cases demented patients continued to be verbally active after the nurses had left. This study aimed at exploring further the initiating and terminating phases of verbal interactio
Den dokumentvillkorade garantin, som i praktiken vanligen betecknas som självständig, känneteck-nas av att villkoren i utfästelsen väsentligen endast innefattar villkor som refererar till att vissa angivna dokument presenteras för garanten. Dokumentvillkorade garantier förekommer vanligtvis i avtalsstrukturer som involverar ett flertal olika avtal och parter. De typer av avtal som omfattas av sådaDocumentary guarantees, in practice usually described as independent guarantees, are characterized by the fact that they essentially contain only conditions referring to whether or not certain specified documents are presented to the guarantor. A documentary guarantee is usually only one part of a contractual structure involving several contracts and parties. Such contracts give rise to special le
Introduction: Complement activation is involved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Autoantibodies to complement inhibitor factor H (FH), particularly in association with deletions of the gene coding for FH-related protein 1 (CFHR1), are associated with aHUS. Methods: Autoantibodies against FH, factor I (FI) and C4b-bindin
Recent research does not show an association between fruit and vegetable consumption and bladder cancer risk. None of these studies investigated variety in fruit and vegetable consumption, which may capture different aspects of consumption. We investigated whether a varied consumption of vegetables and fruits is associated with bladder cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Can
The goal of the present deliverable is to provide a developmental analysis of attentional intersubjectivity, which, as we show below, is a more inclusive notion than the more commonly used term ‘joint attention’ (e.g. Moore & Dunham 1995). The use of the term ‘joint attention’ is not consistent in the literature, sometimes referring to the general phenomenon when two or more subjects attend to
Nödvärn är en ansvarsfrihetsgrund som stadgas i 24 kap. 1 § BrB och innebär att en otillåten gärning rättfärdigas. Om gärningsmannen vid en nödvärnssituation brukar större våld eller förorsakar svårare skada än vad nödvärn tillåter kan personen gå fri från ansvar om omständigheterna var sådana att denne svårligen kunde besinna sig. Detta följer av nödvärnsexcess som stadgas i 24 kap. 6 § BrB. Vid Self-defense is the base of a discharge system explained in chapter 24 paragraph 6 of the Swedish Penal code, which impose that an unauthorized act can be justified. If a self-defense situation occurs and a person cause greater violence or more damage than it allows, the person may avoid responsibility if the circumstances were such that he could hardly control himself. This is called excessive se
Internationellt samarbete är centralt för att ta itu med de globala utmaningar som världen står inför, en av dessa är spridningen av antimikrobiell resistens. Åtgärder, som begränsar den internationella handeln, används ofta av länder för att uppnå politiska mål. I Världshandelsorganisationen (WTO) har relation mellan handel och icke-ekonomiska politiska mål, som miljö- och hälsohänsyn, diskuterat
I detta arbete undersöker jag det allmänna ombudets roll inom socialförsäkringssystemet och hur regeringens styrning av ombudet kan tolkas. Jag undersöker även hur detta förhåller sig till några av de problemen som existerar inom socialförsäkringsrätten idag. Jag diskuterar även hur lagstiftningen kan förändras för att göra det lättare för det allmänna ombudet att lyckas med sitt uppdrag. I undersIn this thesis I examine the role of the General Representative (allmänna ombudet) in the Swedish Social Security Insurance Administration. More specifically, I examine how the role of the general representative relates to some contemporary problems that exist within the social insurance system. Further, I discuss how the legislation can be developed in order to facilitate for the general represen
The objective of this study was to investigate potential differences in gender and place of origin on intimate partner violence (IPV) attitudes, self-silencing beliefs, and sexist and feminist measures in a sample of young adults between 18 and 30 years. Furthermore, it examined whether exposure to videos containing either sexist or feminist humour impacted participants’ level of IPV attitudes, se
Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on.

In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. Much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. In the 5G visions, better coverage in remote regions is also included, aiming for bringing the current "4 bill
Sustainable waste management is a complex task within environmental governance, and municipalities play a key role in governing a transition of the waste system toward prevention and reuse. This calls for an enhanced understanding of local capacities for change, and therefore this thesis adopts a socio-institutional perspective on the power of actors to influence local transitions. Through a quali
Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet arbetsbrist i bemanningsföretag. För att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare krävs det saklig grund i form av antingen arbetsbrist eller personliga skäl. Vinstdrivande uthyrningsverksamhet legaliserades i Sverige år 1993, och bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess kommit att bli en naturlig del av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Branschen bygger på ett trepartThe essay addresses the subject termination of an employment contract with notice due to redundancy. Termination with notice by the employer must be based on objective grounds, which could be either due to redundancy or circumstances related to the employee personally. Profit-making temporary work agencies were legalised in Sweden in 1993 and have since become a natural part of the Swedish labour
Sweden’s substantial building stock from the million programs is in need of renovations. These residential buildings were built without major attention to energy demand or architectural aesthetics. Until now, property owners have hesitated to carry out energy renovations due to the investment cost. The aim of this master thesis was to propose an energy-efficient renovation procedure whilst takin
Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
