It is well known that Lithium-ion batteries in thermal runaway can emit gases with high hydrogen concentrations which, in case of delayed ignition, can cause a gas explosion. Aerosol suppression agents are sometimes used to suppress fires and/or prevent ignition of released gases in such situations. The agent has been studied for suppression of fires (diffusion flames), but less is known about the
Cerebral perivascular spaces (PVS) are small physiological structures around blood vessels in the brain. MRI visible PVS are associated with ageing and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). 7 Tesla (7T) MRI improves PVS detection. We investigated the association of age, vascular risk factors, and imaging markers of SVD with PVS counts on 7 T MRI, in 50 persons aged ≥ 40. The average PVS count ± SD
Interfacial structures on the nanoscale are crucial for a wide field of applications ranging from biological membranes in life sciences through organic solar cells and industrial coatings in soft matter to hard matter structures. The latter include thin film coatings and materials such as magnetic nanoparticles and topological structures like magnetic skyrmions. Advancing such application rests on
A major challenge hampering the industrial and biological exploitation of lipases is the self-limiting effect of the lipolytic reaction. Defying sustained attention throughout history, the influence of lipase catalysed lipolysis on the internal structure of thin triglyceride films has proved elusive. An in-depth understanding of the lipolysis process at the triglycerides/aqueous interface will ass
PURPOSE: Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) may harbor important resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We identified Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive CD34+CD38- bone marrow cells (here denoted LSCs) and addressed their response-predictive value in CML patients (n=48) subjected to nilotinib in the ENEST1st trial (NCT01061177).EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Two flow cytometr
Monitoring of condylomas is an early evidence of population effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs. If reporting could include HPV typing, the contribution by vaccine HPV types to condyloma burden could be monitored.
The response of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to dexamethasone predicts the long-term remission outcome. To explore the mechanisms of dexamethasone resistance in B cell ALL (B-ALL), we generated dexamethasone-resistant clones by prolonged treatment with dexamethasone. Using RNA-sequencing and high-throughput screening, we found that dexamethasone-resistant cells are dependent on rec
This single and holistic case study was conducted with a qualitative approach. Our findings show that the change to agile project management is perceived positively by employees. Further the research concludes that the key enablers of cultural change to adopt agile methods are engaging leadership and communication which support the change process. Overall, the study concludes, that agile project m
Avhandlingen ser till hur medvetna exklusiva temahotell är om den fysiska miljön, vi tittar på hotellens grundtanke samt vad de teoretiskt kommunicerar ut till gästen. Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till receptionsområdet och lobbyn där vi diskuterar materiella och immateriella delar av miljön som kan påverka gästens intryck av hotellet. Vi har valt att undersöka hotell i en kategori som vi kallar f
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate motivational factors of auditors as well as inter-group differences. In addition, our study aims to answer whether the auditors' motivations match the incentives provided by the firms. Methodology: For this study, we chose a quantitative research method in form of surveys to auditors from eight multinational audit firms in Sweden as well as
“Musikalernas inflytande på samhället: Hur Rent och Book of Mormon främjar kulturellt medborgarskap” är författad av William Aleman vid institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Det är en kulturanalys som undersöker medborgarens rätt till att synas, höras och erkännas som identitet eller community i offentligheten, vilket arbetet menar ligger till grund för det kulturella medb“Teaterscenen som en politisk plattform: Rent och Book of Mormon som uttryck för det kulturella medborgarskapet” is authored by William Aleman at the institution of communications and media at the University of Lund. It is a cultural analysis on the rights of the citizens to be seen, heard and acknowledged as identities or communities in the political public sphere; which is the very foundation of
Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo
In the year 2020 the pandemic COVID-19 caused several disruptions to society where increased border controls were a major one. This paper will examine how the shock from pandemic related border control affected service trade which relied on movement of people. This will be done by studying trade values on Sweden's import of services from Denmark allocated to two modes of supply. To examine the
This study aims to examine how a partnership structure in a professional service firm causes political action by stakeholders within an organization and what effect this has on collaboration. As our case organization has a distinctive organizational structure characterized by a partnership structure, separate services, and a strong incentive system, we argue that these factors have an impact on p
Fotbollen är en av världens absolut största populärkulturella fenomen vad gäller allt från fritidsintresse till en global industri med mängder av stora ekonomiska investeringar. Således finns mer intressanta aspekter av fotbollen än enbart det rent sportsliga utövandet att undersöka inom samhällsvetenskapen. Tidigare studier har genomgående påpekat att fotbollen, sett ur ett klassperspektiv, haft
This research aims to identify the role of the physical store within the high involvement products buying process in the context of an omnichannel customer journey. Furthermore, we aim to recreate an entirely new customer journey based on the importance of creating epic customer experiences, both in-store and online channels, by integrating an omnichannel strategy in the furniture industry.
This research aims to fill the knowledge gap with regards to food waste prevention with a specific focus on quick service restaurants (QSRs) – also known as fast food restaurants. Restaurants are in a prime position to reduce food waste produced in the consumptive stages of the food supply chain, and more focus should be placed on how restaurants can help achieve food waste reduction targets. The
