We update the forcings for the PMIP3 experiments for the Last Millennium to include new assessments of historical land use changes and discuss new suggestions for calibrating solar activity proxies to total solar irradiance.

A reduced finite element model for determining the maximum principal stress of a glass pane subjected to dynamic impact load is developed and compared to a full dynamic finite element model. The reduced model is based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The Ritz vectors used are determined by simple static load-cases. The model is applicable to centrically and eccentrically applied impact and to glass of

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is an autoimmune disease caused by an autoantibody to factor VIII. Patients are at risk of severe and fatal hemorrhage until the inhibitor is eradicated, and guidelines recommend immunosuppression as soon as the diagnosis has been made. The optimal immunosuppressive regimen is unclear; therefore, data from 331 patients entered into the prospective EACH2 registry were an

Abstract in UndeterminedPurpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse ways of organizing integrated care for older persons in Sweden during the past decade. Design/methodology/approach - The data consist of 62 cases of development work, described in official reports. A meta-analysis of cases was performed, including content analysis of each case. A theoretical framework comprising

The purpose of this study is to investigate if and to what extent environmental sustainability is a contributing factor in the purchase decision of craft beer among young adults. In addition, the study aims to understand how different purchasing factors are related to each other in the craft beer purchase decision. The purpose is to gain a greater understanding for the industry of small scale prod

Galectins are small, carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed among different cells and tissues in the human body. Due to their abundance, these proteins are involved in many processes and diseases. Among the different types of galectins found in the human body, galectin-1 and galectin-3 are the most common, thus the most targeted and studied. Particularly, galectin-3 is the only chimeric

This thesis explores how sustainable entrepreneurs adapt their motivation and identity amid the emotional, moral, and strategic tensions of building purpose driven ventures. While previous research has examined motivation and identity separately, little attention has been paid to their interdependence, particularly in high uncertainty environments where values and viability collide. Integrating Se

Sweden has in the past decade embarked on a journey to rebuild the concept of ‘total defence’. The crisis management system led by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has become all-the-more involved in the civil defense, with the Swedish Armed Forces responsible for military defense. The present thesis aims to explore the topic of gender and language in Sweden’s total defense discourse to uncove

Deforestation is one of the most significant environmental challenges, with close links to global issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change. The European Union Deforestation-free Products Regulation (EUDR) introduces rigorous due diligence obligations for companies placing forest-risk commodities and derived products on the European market, intending to halt global deforestation. Despite

Cell type deconvolution - the computational estimation of cellular composition in bulk tissue samples - is a valuable tool in cancer research for understanding immune infiltration and tissue heterogeneity. Most deconvolution algorithms infer the composition of cell types in bulk samples by modeling the observed expression data as a linear combination of reference expression profiles from each cell

Household expenditure patterns in Ukraine were explored with a focus on clustering techniques to uncover socioeconomic insights and inform policy interventions. Using an officially published Household Income Survey dataset for 2021, the research applies advanced machine learning models, including k-means, DBSCAN, and PCA, to analyze spending habits and identify household profiles with distinct exp

This thesis critically examines the Swedish ‘Security Zones’ legislation, the associated governmental discourse on organised criminality, and their implications for equality and racial justice. Through a critical discourse analysis, the thesis illustrates how the extended discretion afforded through the legislation facilitates law enforcement’s capacity for racial profiling and discrimination. It

Problem Statement: Sandvik Rock Processing is in the need for a classification tool, which can help them improve their inventory management. Currently, there are problems with inefficiencies with deficit as well as excess in inventory. The new classification shall the basis for the differentiation of service levels and facilitate a shared view on items’ importance. Purpose: The purpose of this th

20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho

This thesis explores the visual and cultural representation of worldbuilding in fantasy genre video game trailers. The focus is to find out to what extent video game trailers in the fantasy genre utilise visual tropes and cultural representations to establish an identity as fantasy video games. It is well established that game developers look for inspiration in the real world when creating new one

The availability of compensatory collective redress for GDPR violations remains an unresolved question. The issue has gained increasing importance as data protection infringements frequently affect large numbers of individuals, while existing enforcement mechanisms often fail to address such harms. This study analyses the scope of compensatory collective redress under Article 80 GDPR and the Repre

Calculation of the climate impact of buildings is becoming increasingly prevalent. In this context, understanding the comprehensive environmental impact of buildings, including fire risk, is crucial. This study investigates a method to incorporate the impact of fire risk on the climate footprint of buildings using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The paper focuses on several building types: single-famil

As the first domestic species, dogs likely dispersed with different cultural groups during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 newly sequenced individuals sampled from East Asia to the West Eurasian Steppe spanning nearly 10,000 years. Our results indicate correlations between the ancestry of dogs and specific ancient human p

Wind generation’s growing share of Nordic electricity supply has made imbalance settlement an increasingly costly exposure for producers. Under the Nordic single-price mechanism, all residual imbalance is settled at a single imbalance price, regardless of direction, determined by the mFRR activation market. Before that price is known, the producer fixes a day-ahead position, adjusts on the continu

A classical and central problem in the theory of water waves is to classify parameter regimes for which non-trivial solitary waves exist. In the two-dimensional, irrotational, pure gravity case, the Froude number Fr (a non-dimensional wave speed) plays the central role. So far, the best analytical result Fr < √2 was obtained by Starr (1947 J. Mar. Res., vol. 6, pp. 175–193), while the numerical ev
