Catalytic processes have tremendous importance in our everyday life. Most chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics etc. are, in fact, produced with the help of catalysts. What is probably even more important is that the toxic wastes produced in great amounts by modern factories and plants are recycled or transformed into less poisonous substances by means of catalytic units. One example from our everyThe present work is devoted to atomic scale structural studies of the surfaces of model heterogeneous catalysts relevant to oxidation reactions. A novel approach using high-energy surface X-ray diffraction combined with mass-spectrometry measurements is employed to perform in situ structural characterization of Pd(100) and Pd(553) single crystal surfaces acting as catalysts in the process of CO ox

This normative study examines the Swedish governments solidarity security policy, in relation to its commitments in the EU and Nato. Since the end of the cold war, Sweden has shifted its security policy from one of neutrality, to one of solidary participation within said alliances. The study’s aim is to examine the validity of this policy, in relation to the concept of solidarity. In doing so, it

The desire for a deeper connection with nature has become increasingly apparent. The shift towards eco-conscious living, as demonstrated by the popularity of gorpcore and the nomad lifestyle, shows that people want to make more sustainable and nature-inspired choices. In response to this cultural shift, I am motivated to channel these environmental sentiments into a design project — the creation

In the physical product development context, agile practices, particularly agile teams, are seldom applied as originally intended. They are often equated with traditional project teams, which conflicts with the fundamental principles of agile teams, undermining several associated benefits. Unlike traditional project teams, agile teams are ideally stable, focusing on continuously delivering value t

When the evacuation alarm sounds, immediately follow these steps:Interrupt work in a safe and secure manner.Ventilation hood procedures: Interrupt work in ventilation hoods in a way that ensures safety even for an extended time. Then close the hood.Check rooms: In each room, verify that no one is left behind. Close the door when leaving.Bring personal items: If possible, without delaying evacuatio

The aim of this paper is to examine the abilities of the yield curve and inflation in terms of predicting future real growth in the case of Sweden. Methodology: The methodology is a quantitative study using the single and multiple regression model based on econometric theory. Theory: The theoretical framework is built on the slope of the yield curve and its significance in predicting future econ

This essay investigates if NATO’s humanitarian intervention in Kosovo 1999 can be justified. To answer this question we use values like sovereignty, nonintervention, human rights and perspectives that are essential to the question. The perspectives used are two normative ethical perspectives and the Just War theory, which has some criteria’s for going to war and how war should be conducted. By usi

Widespread discrimination across much of sub-Saharan Africa against persons with same-sex sexuality, including recent attempts in Uganda to extend criminal sanctions against same-sex behavior, are likely to have profound effects on this group’s health, health care access, and well-being. Yet knowledge of the prevalence of same-sex sexuality in this region is scarce. This study aimed to systematica

Abstract: Since the majority of top-level researchers are men, how does this vertical gender-segregation affect students’ perceptions of a research career? In the current study, an experimental manipulation either reminded students of academia’s current dominance of men, or of its improving gender-balance. The results showed that women primed with the dominance of men, anticipated much higher sociSince the majority of top-level researchers are men, how does this vertical gender-segregation affect students’ perceptions of a research career? In the current study, an experimental manipulation either reminded students of academia’s current dominance of men or of its improving gender-balance. The results showed that women primed with the dominance of men anticipated much higher social identity

This article examines the heresiological mechanisms involved in constructing Origenism as a heresy in Late Antiquity. Attention is especially paid to the rhetorical role that “paganism” played in this construction. Focusing on the polemics of Jerome of Stridon, I argue that Jerome created a dichotomy of pagan learning and Christian confession, and described the Origenists as relying excessively on

I Sverige drabbas omkring 300 barn av cancer varje år och majoriteten av dem är bara fyra-fem år gamla när de får sin diagnos. Omkring två tredjedelar av barncancerdiagnoserna utgörs av leukemier, lymfom och hjärntumörer, medan den sista tredjedelen är olika solida tumörformer som njurtumörer och nervvävnadstumörer i buken. Cancersjukvårdens utveckling under de senaste årtiondena har medfört en avPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of including PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in the process of pediatric radiation therapy planning. The aim was to study the effect on target volumes and how this in turn affects the resulting treatment plans. This study also aims to compare the estimated risks of various long-term complications and how the use of PET influences the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mobiltelefonanvändandet förändrades radikalt för några år sedan när de nya grafiska ”touchmobilerna” lanserades och mobilt internet blev inte bara tillgängligt utan också enkelt och använbart för alla. Idag är en ”smart-phone” i det närmaste obligatorisk i handen på såväl vuxna som ungdomar och kraven på datatakt och åtkomst är höga och ökar när allt fler samtidigt anväFor evaluation of specific antenna arrangements in wireless communication systems we need physical channel models that take into account also the directional domain of the propagation channel. In this thesis we investigate, validate and propose a practical approach to wireless channel modeling and, particularly, to mobile communication systems. For this we make the assumption that the channel can

The high rate of disability pensioners is alarming in many industrial countries today. In Sweden the rate was 9.5% of the population aged 16-54 years in March 2005. Through new legislation, which came into force 2000, disability pensioners in Sweden are able to go back to work without jeopardising their benefit. This 'resting disability pension' was used by 0.2% of all disability pensioners in Swe
