Electric road systems (ERS) are designed to transfer power to electric vehicles (EV) while moving, not only for charging the on-board battery, but also for propelling the vehicle and supplying the auxiliary systems. The step from dynamic charging to static charging with a conductive ERS is not large since most of the equipment can be used without modification, yet it brings thermal challenges. Sta

In this paper we consider the solvability of pseudodifferential operators in the case when the principal symbol vanishes of order k ≥ 2 at a nonradial involutive manifold Σ2. We shall assume that the operator is of subprincipal type, which means that the kth inhomogeneous blowup at Σ2 of the refined principal symbol is of principal type with Hamilton vector field parallel to the base Σ2, but trans

Den yttersta barriären mellan luften och blodomloppet i våra lungor består av en lipid-protein film. Denna lipid-protein blandning kallas för lungsurfaktant. Filmen bestående av lungsurfaktant stabiliserar alveolerna i våra lungor och gör att vi kan andas utan motstånd. Brist av lungsurfaktant kan orsaka svåra sjukdomar, till exempel hos förtidigt födda barn som ännu inte hunnit bilda tillräckligtThis thesis explores lipid self-assembly and aims to give a broad picture of self-assembly structures in simple and complex lipid-protein systems. The systems studied are lung surfactant, stratum corneum and simple model membranes. The lung surfactant mixture lines the alveolus in our lungs and stabilises the air- tissue interface. The lung surfactant lipid phase behaviour was here investigated wi

Depression is a common, recurrent disorder. There is a need for readily available treatments with few negative side effects, that demands little resources and that are effective both in the short- and long term. Our aim was to investigate the long-term effectiveness of two different interventions; physical exercise and internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (internet-CBT), compared to usual

Integration of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar into the grid is challenging due to the stochastic nature of energy sources. Hence, electrical hubs (EH) and virtual power plants that combine non-dispatchable energy sources, energy storage and dispatchable energy sources such as internal combustion generators and micro gas turbines are getting popular. However, desig

A series of phosphorylated test peptides was studied by electron capture dissociation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ECD FT-ICR MS). The extensive ECD-induced fragmentation made identification of phosphorylation sites for these peptides straightforward. The site(s) of initial phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide with a sequence identical to that of the phosphorylati

This paper aims to discuss street art as new form of art and activism of uncomissioned and unsanctioned artifacts including paintings, murals and various kinds of stencils, posters, and stickers applied in any public surface. As Bengtsen (2014) has argued street art is a sociocultural practice, which is performative, ephemeral, and site specific. Street art has much to tell us about the dialectics

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Stroke är en av de vanligaste folksjukdomarna i Sverige där 27 000 - 35 000 personer drabbas varje år. Stroke är ett samlingsnamn på vaskulära skador i hjärnan, vilka kan vara ischemiska eller till följd av blödning. En vanlig nedsättning hos personer drabbade av stroke är balansproblematik. Balansen är väsentlig för en självständig vardag och påverkar även den drabbades

The main purpose of this thesis is to present and analyse the Swedish sixteenth-century Catholic priest Andreas Servius’ prayer book Någre Christilige och Catholische böner printed in the Silesian city of Neisse year 1593. The general questions of the study are: which where the main sources of the prayers found in this prayer book? What characteristics typical for the period’s piety can be found i

Bakgrund: Antalet personer som drabbas av demenssjukdomar ökar kraftigt och anhöriga till dessa påverkas i vardagen på olika sätt, vilket kan påverka deras hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos anhöriga till personer med demens. Metod: Data inhämtades genom en fokusgrupp vid två upprepade tillfällen med 5 deltagare. En riktad innehållsanalys ge

Salience approaches are a widely used theory when studying political behavior on how political party’s emphases certain policy issues more than other issues and therefore, defining certain topics as more important to the party than other policies. One of the most important documents studying policy salience is the election manifestos parties present to the voters, containing intentions and views o

Alléodling – att titta bakåt för att komma framåt Sättet vi odlar på idag är en av de största bidragande orsakerna till de rådande klimatförändringarna. Då ekologiskt jordbruk inte visat sig kunna förhindra denna utveckling tillräckligt och dessutom genererar sämre skördar, är behovet av andra alternativ stort. Många forskare sneglar nu mot metoder som efterliknar traditionellt jordbruk och fördeA transition from conventional to organic agricultural practices has been shown to have positive impacts on soil and ground-living fauna. Organic farming manure is on the other hand harder for the crops to absorb than conventional fertilizers, which results in more pollutants and unsatisfactory yields. This problem is mitigated in alley cropping, an agroforestry practice where rows of trees and bu

Stor blåklocka bättre pollinerad i staden än på landsbygden Världen över är människor indirekt beroende av pollinerande djur då de förser oss med mat, mediciner och råmaterial genom att hjälpa växters fortplantning. Inom denna djurgrupp dominerar insekter där bin och humlor är särskilt viktiga på nordliga breddgrader. Det finns dock en stor oro kring våra pollinerande insekter idag. Som ett resul

This thesis aims to analyse the borderline between private importation and retail sales of alcohol on the EU internal market. This thesis shows that according to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the definition of private import is a complex assessment that depends on several factors. Among other indicators, it depends on the shipping and logistics procedure. To be classi

På särskilda ungdomshem tvångsvårdas barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) regi. Personalen på ungdomshemmen har särskilda befogenheter vilket motiveras av de placerade barnen och ungas omfattande problematik. Tvångsåtgärderna inskränker emellertid barn och ungas fri- och rättigheter. Barnkonventionen inkorporerades i svensk lag i syfte att stärka och tydliggöra barn och ungas ställThe special residential homes for young people that are run by the national board of institutional care (SiS) provide children and young people compulsory care. The staff at the special residential homes have the right to use coercive measures which is motivated by the children and young people’s extensive problems. The coercive measures however restrict the freedoms and rights of the children and

Background: Alleviating poverty is critical for achieving sustainability (Zomorrodi et al., 2019). One business approach to alleviate poverty is the Bottom of the pyramid (BoP) approach which implies engaging the poor in doing business, and including them into supply chains with both profitability and poverty alleviation as objectives (Brix-Asala et al., 2021). The populations living in the BoP ar
