Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA)/clay nanocomposites containing two different organoclays with different clay loadings were prepared. The transport of gases (oxygen and nitrogen) through the composite membranes was investigated and the results were compared. These studies revealed that the incorporation of nanoclays in the polymer increased the efficiency of the membranes toward barrier prop
Om något händer, som till exempel att en student råkar ut för en allvarlig händelse kan det uppstå en krissituation som är viktig att hantera på ett bra sätt.Denna checklista utgör ett stöd och beskriver de olika stegen i processen. Frågorna berör krishantering vid allvarlig händelse, så som svårare personskador, men tankar bakom är tillämpbara vid andra krissituationer.Om en allvarlig händelse in
To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. However, there is a lack of comparative information of the best HVAC systems for apartment buildings, which represent an increasing share of newly built floor area in the Nordic countries. Elements of HVAC systems we
This study explores the different psychological processes and psychological capital resources that help entrepreneurs sustain motivation to re-enter entrepreneurship after discontinuing a previous venture. While existing literature has focused intensely on the financial and social costs of business failure, minimal yet growing scholarly attention has focused on the psychological costs of failure a
This study examines how different age compositions within a football squad affect a club’s sporting performance and financial development over time. Five squad versions with systematically varied proportions of young and older players were simulated in the game Football Manager 2024™. Each version was followed over ten seasons, resulting in a total of 25 simulations (five repetitions per version).
Due to the threat climate change poses, the aviation industry needs to adapt. In the process to convert the aviation fleet into a more environmentally friendly fleet, using biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a drop-in fuel remains a promising option. To include biofuels, safety aspects need to be investigated, where combustion instabilities are important. Thermo-acoustic instabilities

Abstract This thesis examines the impact that AFTA has had on intra-industry trade in different commodity groups and the ASEAN member countries during the years 1993-2002. The frequently used Grubel-Llyod index is employed to estimate the degree of intra-industry trade in this cross-country study, and dynamic effects from integration are evaluated by studies of growth rates in trade and intra-indu
This study investigated eyewitnesses’ memory and confidence accuracy for action information (what happened at the crime scene), and detail information (descriptions of persons, objects, time and place). In Experiment 1, 89 participants watched a film and participated in one of four conditions: Laboratory discussion, Family discussion, Retell and Control, the first three with five meetings each. Th
This thesis provides an in-depth exploration of how the EU’s resilience-building initiatives for the Eastern Neighbourhood have evolved against Russian hybrid threats since 2022. Russian invasion of Ukraine significantly altered the security order on the continent, reshaping the EU’s perception of its own security. In response to increased hybrid threats, the EU has employed extraordinary regulato
This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on total net FDI inflows in Lithuania. More specifically, the aim is to fill in the gap that exists in previous research by focusing on the critical assessment of finding explanations behind the deviation of the net FDI inflow patterns during the pandemic. To study the relationship, the quarterly data is collected and a time series analysis has been imple

In the foreword to the Mercure de France edition of Réflexions sur le procès de la reine, (1996 [1820, 1793]), Chantal Thomas, French historian and writer, writes that this apology in favour of Marie-Antoinette did not help the queen nor the author herself; on the contrary it only made the latter more unpopular. So why did Germaine de Staël write it? Mme de Staël and Marie-Antoinette did not shareIn the foreword to the Mercure de France edition of de Staël. (1996 [1793]. Réflexions sur le procès de la reine.

If we find life on another world, it will be an extremely important discovery and we will have to take great care not to do anything that might endanger that life. If the life we find is sentient we will have moral obligations to that life. Whether it is sentient or not, we have a duty to ourselves to preserve it as a study object, and also because it would be commonly seen as valuable in its own If we find life on another world, it will be an extremely important discovery and we will have to take great care not to do anything that might endanger that life.

At self-similarity the strain history is implicit in and deducible from the strain field at each instance of the loading process. This fact is taken advantage of in a FEM-technique which allows the load to be applied in one single step, only, even when the incremental theory of plastic flow has to be used. Two self-similar problems are solved. Firstly an analytically solvable anti-plane strain craAt self-similarity the strain history is implicit in and deducible from the strain field at each instance of the loading process.

[3H]arachidonic acid (20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid (18:2) were fed in a triolein emulsion to essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) rats and to age-matched controls. Tissues were analyzed for radioactivity of different lipid classes after 1, 2, and 4 h. As in earlier studies [Nilsson and Melin. Am. J. Physiol. 255 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 19): G612-G618, 1988], control rats retained more [3H]2
Background: Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is an important determinant of outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Conventional echocardiographic measures of RV are mainly based on longitudinal contractility. Recently, measurement of RV global longitudinal strain derived from multiple windows (RVGLS) has emerged as an option but has not been well evaluated. The aim of the pr
