The Urban Systems and Dynamics group, led by Prof. Nik, advances the boundaries of Building Physics to explore the complex interactions between buildings, urban systems, and climate. Our research focuses on designing and optimizing strategies for buildings and urban systems (with a big focus on energy systems) that drive the sustainable urban transition and enhance the built environment's resilien

Forskningen bedrivs vid avdelningen för infektionsmedicin på BMC i nära samarbete med avdelningen för reumatologi och fokuserar kring nya mekanismer hos neutrofiler (en slags vita blodkroppar) som kan förklara eller prognosticera infektionssjukdom eller infektionskänslighet. Projekten drivs både som translationella studier där vi försöker förklara mekanismerna varför infektionssjukdom uppträder hoOur research is conducted at the division of infection medicine at BMC in close collaboration with the division of rheumatology. The research is focused on new neutrophil mechanisms that can explain or prognosticate infectious diseases. The approach to the projects is either translational, where we try to explain why certain individuals turn ill due to infections, or more clinically focused, where

Botswana has figured widely as the exceptional African growth success story and has been frequently cited in scholarship that supports the view that African and other less developed economies are capable of rapid economic growth as long as the internal institutional framework and development policies are right. A shortcoming of the literature on African economic performance to date is that it has

This thesis presents methods to derive and model the performance characteristics of interior permanent magnet machines – a machine type which is commonly used for propulsion of electrical vehicles. The thesis divides the performance characteristics into three subcategories: The electromagnetic properties, the loss profile and the thermal behaviour of the machines. One separate characterisation met

The Official records of the Swedish Foreign Ministry and War Ministry clearly indicate that the Stockholm was fully aware of the ongoing massacres and deportations of the Armenian subjects in the Ottoman Empire in an intentional annihilation of the Armenian nation.

At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

Nu påbörjas årets lönerevision vid Luleå tekniska universitet som avser perioden 2024–10–01 –– 2025–09–30. Även i år har vi ett sifferlöst avtal. För medlemmar i Saco tillämpas på LTU lönesättande samtal vilket innebär att du som anställd i samband med lönerevisionen ska ha två samtal med din närmaste chef. Det första samtalet är tänkt att vara ett ömsesidigt utbyte av information avseende din pre

The accessibility of Virtual Reality (VR) enables the investigation of desirable difficulties originating from memory research with increased ecological validity. The two desirable difficulties include contextual variation and retrieval practice. Most studies investigated individual learning in VR and found indirect effects (such as enjoyment and motivation), but knowledge acquisition was not nece

The aim of this thesis is to study how social workers experience and understand the laws they are regulated by, and if they perceive that the laws give them the right conditions to fulfil their purpose(s). Social Services have the important task of protecting society’s vulnerable groups, one of them being children, which entails huge power over other people’s lives, which is why social workers are

X-ray imaging can be improved by utilising the wave-optical properties to extract images of complementary contrast. Normal x-ray imaging relies only on attenuation in the sample, but information about phase shift and scattering of the x-rays can be computed when special conditions are fulfilled.
