Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur moln påverkas av luftburna partiklar, så kallade aerosolpartiklar. Moln bildas i atmosfären när vatten övergår från gasfas till vätskefas, det vill säga när vattenånga kondenserar. För att molndroppar ska kunna bildas krävs dock aerosolpartiklar, som vattenångan kan kondensera på. Antalet partiklar i luften kan därigenom påverka hur mCloud droplets never form in the atmosphere without a seed in the form of an aerosol particle. Changes in number concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere can therefore affect the number of droplets in a cloud. Higher concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere lead to clouds with more droplets and if the amount of liquid water in the clouds stay the same, the droplets become
Certainty equivalence adaptive controllers are analysed using a “data-driven Riccati equation”, corresponding to the model-free Bellman equation used in Q-learning. The equation depends quadratically on data correlation matrices. This makes it possible to derive simple sufficient conditions for stability and robustness to unmodeled dynamics in adaptive systems. The paper is concluded by short rema
Syfte: Beskriva livet på musikfestivaler och förklara vilken funktion de fyller idag. Frågeställningar: Vilka skäl, förutom musiken, har svenska ungdomar till att delta i en festival? Hur upplever besökarna att deras beteende förändras när de befinner sig på festivalen? Hur kan vi förstå festivalen ur ett större, mänskligt perspektiv? Metod: Jag deltog sommaren 2011 i Peace and Love-festivalen i
Youth delinquency is an international phenomenon that has an impact on different aspects of society. This study aimed to understand how social workers describe the causes of youth delinquency and their reflections on how they conduct the preventative work at social services. The chosen method was semi-structured interviews with six social workers in Skåne, all with a minimum of one year of working
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda den föreslagna kriminaliseringens effekt på Sveriges nuvarande eftergiftsprogram samt undersöka dess effektivitet trots avsaknad av ett kronvittnesförfarande. Vidare avser uppsatsen att undersöka om kriminaliseringens effekter kan påverkas. För att utröna kriminaliseringens effekter har VD: n få en central roll i uppsatsens modell, då det endast är han som berörs
This thesis investigates the dynamics between firms’ shifting motives for engaging in foreign direct investments (FDIs) and the experiential knowledge acquired from increased experience and establishment in foreign markets. An embedded case study was performed on the multinational company Duni Group, drawing upon insights from semi-structured interviews with representatives from the case company.
Music and Performing Arts is one of the fields Georgia can pride itself on internationally. While the country is in transition as it officially embarks on its long path to the European Union membership, this study explores the process of Europeanization of Higher Music Education in Georgia. Authors analyze how Higher Music Educational Institutions employ European projects for organizational change
Programmes driving ELT design are discussed. The nature and evolution of circum-stellar shells and planetary discs are attractive, while the small angular sizes place basic properties, asymmetry and warps, beyond VLT capability. An ELT is neeed to reveal the conversion processes shell - disc - planets, planetary systems, Earth-like planets, habitability and life signatures. Formation and evolution
Normal ageing in men is associated with a physiological decline in testosterone levels, but adverse environmental or psychosocial factors may also impair testosterone secretion and cause secondary biological changes. In a number of observational or experimental studies in both animals and man, it has been possible to study the influences on gonadal function of stressful life situations. To underst
Several immunodeficiency-related genes are known and a numb er of disease causing mutations have been identified. Immunodeficiency related mutation information have been collected into IDbases. We are currently maintaining 15 registries, which are available at http://www.uta.fi/imt/bioinfo/. The databases are available for the following disorders: adenosine deaminase, CD3 epsilon, CD3 gamma, JAK3,
Designers’ work sometimes originates from a simplified view of human demands and needs, which may result in furniture that does not fulfill the user requirements. If we consider old people as one group with fairly similar needs and demands rather than have realistic images of old people as a heterogeneous group there is a tendency that it will result in misguided efforts to design for wellbeing. T
Objective To evaluate the implementation of automated chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACC-CPR) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Sweden during the years 2011 through 2015. The association between ACC-CPR and 30-day survival was studied as a secondary objective. Methods The Swedish cardiopulmonary resuscitation registry is a prospectively recorded nationwide registry o
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly results in injury to the components of the white matter tracts, causing post-injury cognitive deficits. The myelin-producing oligodendrocytes (OLs) are vulnerable to TBI, although may potentially be replaced by proliferating oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). The cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a key mediator of the complex inflammatory response, and
This study investigates the establishment of alternative cell fates during embryoid body differentiation when ES cells diverge into two epithelia simulating the pre-gastrulation endoderm and ectoderm. We report that endoderm differentiation and endoderm-specitic gene expression, such as expression of laminin 1 subunits, is controlled by GATA6 induced by FGF. Subsequently, differentiation of the no
