Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical illness affecting 6-8 million people in Latin America. Reaching scholarly consensus on the host response to T. cruzi infection remains a significant challenge, primarily due to substantial heterogeneity in outcomes driven by both the choice of animal model and the infecting parasite's discrete typing unit (DTU). This varia

Shared e-scooters (SEs) are increasingly integrated into urban mobility systems, yet their role in commuting and contribution to sustainable transport remain insufficiently understood. This study examines SE commuting patterns in Malmo, Sweden, focusing on their use as both a first-/last-mile connection to public transport and a primary commuting mode. Using pre-pandemic trip data from a major SE

Carefully selecting the source data is crucial to achieve high performance of transfer learning methods for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Especially so in settings where a large amount of source data is available, and finding the optimal source is not computationally feasible. This paper presents a novel method for source selection, the so-called Transfer Performance Predictor (TPP) method. Th

Thin overlayers of Na, K. Rb, and Cs on different sp-metal substrates have been investigated using photo-electron spectroscopy. The alkali core levels show clearly resolved binding-energy shifts between the surface layer, the intermediate layer(s), and the interface layer. The magnitude of these shifts depends on sp metal and on alkali metal. The layer-resolved core-level binding-energy shifts are

The nuclear physics facility at MAX-lab requires high energy electrons for photonuclear experiments. These electrons are first accelerated in two LINACs that are fed via a SLED system. Arcing in the waveguide structures is currently the limiting factor of the available electron energy. In this report, the implementation of a phase modulation scheme into the injector system is presented. This makes

We construct finite-dimensional representations of the quantum affine algebra associated to the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra sl(n+1). The module structure is defined on the vector space tensor product of the fundamental representations of the quantum affine algebra. To do this, we find a particular basis of every fundamental representation, consisting of eigenvectors for some of the Drinf

We describe a sensing system that is able to measure pH in-vivo, in the rumen of a cow, in real time. The sensing principle is based on gravimetric transduction using a magnetoelastic ribbon functionalized by pH-sensitive nanobeads that is placed in the rumen where it is actuated and read-out wirelessly. We describe a generic procedure that enables one to deposit monolayers or multilayers of nano-

This work deals with the construction technique and indoor climate in both new and old single family houses, in the city of Sulaymaniyah northern Iraq. An analysis has been done on two residential buildings by two different developers, a private and the other commercial. The problems that many buildings in Kurdistan have had and still have today are the poor indoor comfort temperature and high ene

I januari 1998 lades en del av länsväg 155 om till den nyöppnade Lundbytunneln i Göteborg. Tidigare leddes den motordrivna trafiken på denna länsväg längs bl.a. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen och Stålhandskegatan. När trafiken lades om och ner i Lundbytunneln torde det bl.a. ha varit så att bullernivåerna vid nämnda vägar minskade. Det är därför troligt att marknadsvärdet steg på de närliggIn January 1998, the Lundby tunnel opened in Gothenburg. Prior to that, the motor driven traffic was routed on county road 155 (länsväg 155) along e.g. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen and Stålhandskegatan. When the traffic was rerouted to go down the Lundby tunnel instead, the previous noise pollution levels caused by the traffic frictions were consequently reduced on said roads. It is a pos

As the society gets more and more dependent on electrical energy, it is highly desirable to ensurepower supply at all times. In case of events of natural disasters, simple technical faults or human mistakes, any power system or a large part of it can suffer a blackout. An electrical shutdown is a crisis situation where recovery should happen as quickly as possible. During the restoration after the

Att Spåra Gammastrålar med en Gammakamera Gammastrålar produceras av både radioaktiva material och kosmiska objekt, så som supernovor och neutronstjärnor. Gammastrålar består av fotoner, precis som synligt ljus, men har mycket högre energi. Att kunna spåra gammastrålar är användbart inom allt från medicinteknik, till samhällsskydd, och även inom många olika forskningsområden. Fotoner kan interagIn this study the Geant4 toolkit has been used to perform Monte Carlo simulations of relatively inexpensive, inorganic, scintillator-based detectors. Full simulations of the optical photons produced via the scintillation process have been done in order to achieve realistic responses from the attached electro-optical sensors. The main focus of this work is on identifying interaction positions in sc

The purpose of this study was to highlight professionals’ views and aims of using touch screen technology, such as tablets, whilst working with people with dementia. The usage of touch screen technology whilst supporting people with dementia was found to be getting more and more common in today’s society. The study has underlined how the professionals described the tablet, what aims there were by

Energy harvesting enables products to become more self-sufficient of power and offers the possibility to avoid battery exchange and power cables. The performance and applicability of the most promising or popular small scale energy harvesting technologies are investigated in this thesis. The focus lies on the amount of potential energy that can be harvested and how limited the technology is to a s

This report has investigated which type of risk analysis methods that can be used in an early design phase in a unique facility from a time and quality perspective. Two planned underground facilities for the HL-LHC at CERN have been used as a case study. The methodology is an action research study with information gathered from a literature study and survey. Six different risk analysis methods hav

Sedan den första generationen av mobila nätverk lanserades i början av 80-talet har en ny generation utvecklats ungefär vart tionde år. Med ett alltmer digitaliserat samhälle har användningen av de mobila nätverken ökat drastiskt. Ökningen ställer nya krav på nätverkens kapacitet där den senaste generationen, 5G NR, är utvecklad för att tillgodose dagens och kommande års behov. Dessa behov innefatAs the demand for higher data rates and lower latencies increase, together with the use of higher frequency bands, MIMO and beamforming have become an essential part of the 5G NR technology. Calculating the beamforming weights is a costly process, and reducing the frequency resolution of the weight calculations would save a significant amount of computational power. Which resolution is suitable to

Använda immateriella rättigheter för att öka ett företags hållbara påverkan Immateriella rättigheter är verktyg för att stimulera innovation och investeringar i forskning och utveckling för att främja tillväxt och har traditionellt använts för ekonomiska intressen före miljömässig och social påverkan. Forskningsprojektet IPACST, som forskar på immateriella tillgångars roll för att accelerera en hIntellectual Property Rights, IPR, are tools to incentivize innovation and investment in Research and Development (R&D) to promote growth and are traditionally used for economic interests before environmental and social concerns. The research project IPACST has developed a business tool kit for supporting organizations in designing their IP models to increase environmental and social impact. T

One of the core purposes of the Swedish “nämndemannasystem” is to act as representatives of the public in the court systems. The representation aspect of the “nämndemannasystem” has though been declared non-existent or too weak by previous research and the general debate in society, on the ground of its pictorial composition. However, the concept of representation is not that simple as depicted by
