BACKGROUND: Food choice decisions are complex processes influenced by various factors that affect the family's diet and, thus, their health and nutrition. In low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, these factors are shaped by the ongoing nutrition transition, urbanization, and socio-economic challenges. Despite growing concerns about the double burden of malnutrition, the factors influenci
This PhD thesis examines how application of 3D visualization and related digital analytical tools is having a transformative impact on archaeological practice via improvement of visual-spatial thinking and the strengthening of conceptual understanding. However, the deployment of these new digital methods is essentially still at an experimental stage. Therefore, the thesis undertakes a critical eva
The discovery of ferroelectricity in CMOS-compatible oxides, such as doped hafnium oxide, has opened new possibilities for electronics by reviving the use of ferroelectric implementations on modern technology platforms. This thesis presents the ground-up integration of ferroelectric HfO2 on a thermally sensitive III-V nanowire platform leading to the successful implementation of ferroelectric tran
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition with mortality rates between 30-50%. Although in vitro models replicate some aspects of ARDS, small and large animal models remain the primary research tools due to the multifactorial nature of the disease. When using these animal models, histology serves as the gold standard method to confirm lung injury and exclude other
Introduction Tourette syndrome and chronic tic disorder are common, disabling childhood-onset conditions. Guidelines recommend that behavioural therapy should be offered as first-line treatment for children with tics. However, there are very few trained behaviour therapists for tics and many patients cannot access appropriate care. This trial investigates whether an internet-delivered intervention
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way gradually increasing teachers’ theory-based instruction affects the students’ learning outcomes, illustrated by the example of learning how to regulate body tension in the upper secondary school. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 72 students from four classes participated in the study. The way the students were offered to understa
This thesis reports on the research undertaken to increase the sustainability of foodmanufacturing by reducing the solid Food waste generation, as well as Energy and Water(FEW) consumptions through applications based of Internet of Things (IoT) concepts. Theprimary objective of this research is to develop an IoT-based framework, which identifies andcollects the key data regarding FEW within food m
Photoredox properties of several earth-abundant light-harvesting transition metal complexes in combination with cobalt-based proton reduction catalysts have been investigated computationally to assess the fundamental viability of different photocatalytic systems of current experimental interest. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations using several GGA (BP86, B
This study aims to fabricate nanoclay (NC) embedded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) adsorptive electrospun nanofibers (Ads-ESNs) as high performance membranes for organic micropollutants (OMPs) removal. Ads-ESN were tested using a comprehensive protocol included adsorption in batches (static) and during filtration (dynamic). The filtration performance of Ads-ESNs was tested using gravity driven membrane (
Archaeological data repositories usually manage excavation data collections as project-level entities with restricted capacities to facilitate search or aggregation of excavation data at the sub-collection level (trenches, finds, season reports or excavation diaries etc.). More granular access to excavation data collections would enable layered querying across their informational content. In the p
Background: Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks.Methods: The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an o
This is an anthropological study of teaching and learning as it unfolds in a contemporary esoteric society in Sweden, the Sodalitas Rosae Crucis (SRC), founded in 2002. It perpetuates the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an influential esoteric society instituted in Victorian London. Through an initiatory system of several degrees, SRC employs a stepwise revelation of secret tea
In Switzerland the one-and-a-half-earner model where the father is the primary wage-earner working full-time and the woman is the secondary wage-earner working part-time while taking over the majority of care and housework responsibilities is predominant. This is discussed criti-cally as the normative and institutional context incentivises parents to adopt a division of labour that disadvantages w
Traditionally rooted in a linear economy model, the European food industry is now rapidly shifting towards circular supply chain systems. Compared to the previous model, this approach offers significant environmental and socio-economic benefits, including greater resource efficiency, waste reduction, and increased market competitiveness. Despite a clear theoretical framework based on the principle
Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (Bragg CDI) is an X-ray imaging technique used to recover the internal strain information of nano-scale crystalline particles. A particle, illuminated by X-ray beams, is rocked along a direction θ and the entire diffraction volume is sampled by a series of 2-D diffraction patterns. From the diffraction volume, the internal structure of the particle can be recover
Characterising the performance of ICs is a daunting task. With every year that passes, transistor technology keeps advancing and reducing in size. We are at a moment where, due to working with sub-90nm processes, it is not possible to have complete control over the manufacturing of the chips on the silicon wafers. It is mandatory to characterise the behaviour of each transistor using statistics, n
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur artikel 12 barnkonventionen om barnets rätt att komma till tals kommer till uttryck i svensk och norsk lagstiftning gällande vårdnadstvister. En grundläggande princip i svensk och norsk rätt är att den som har ett legitimt intresse i en tvistefråga också ska ha talerätt i densamma. Då barnets framtid kommer påverkas av utgången i dessa tvister är det av intresThe aim of this thesis is to examine how Article 12 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is reflected in Swedish and Norwegian legislation concerning custody, residence and contact disputes. A fundamental principle in both Swedish and Norwegian law is that a person with a legitimate interest in a legal dispute should also have a right to litigate in the matter. It is of particular inter
Skiljeförfarande har under de senaste decennierna växt fram till en mycket populär och uppskattad metod för tvistlösning, särskilt bland kommersiella parter. En större partsautonomi, effektivitet och slutlighet har betonats som fördelar jämfört med domstolsförfarande. Samtidigt finns frågor och svårigheter att reda ut. En av dessa aspekter lyftes i samband med att delar av lagen om skiljeförfarandArbitration has over the past few decades emerged as a very popular and appreciated method of dispute resolution, especially among commercial parties. Greater party autonomy, efficiency, and finality have been emphasized as advantages compared to court proceedings. At the same time, there are issues to address. One of these aspects was highlighted when parts of the Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA) we
