The viscosity of ionanofluids consisting of the two ionic liquids (ILs), 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([emim][DCA]) and 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ([emim][TCM]), and aluminium oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles has been measured. The pure ionic liquids were also measured, and a simple Andrade equation and a Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher equation were presented to predict
Challenges of insect monitoring is revised. I present our new lidar, and use remote dark-field monitoring as well as hyperspectral push-broom imaging to argue why lidar entomology is significantly improved when implemented at telecom wavelengths.
The unique properties of elastomeric materials are taken advantage of in many engineering applications. Elastomeric units are used as couplings or mountings between stiff structures. Examples of these are shock absorbers, vibration insulators, flexible joints, seals and suspensions.The development of computers and of analysis programs in this area has given engineers a new tool for the design of e
A strategy for the formation of thin reconstituted cellulose films (pure or modified)) with embedded receptors or embedded ion-selective components is reported. Cellulose nanofibril ribbons from sisal of typically 3-5 nm diameter and 250 nm length are reconstituted into thin films of typically 1.5-2.0 μm thickness (or into thicker free-standing films). Cellulose and cellulose nanocomposite films a
We aimed to externally validate five previously published predictive models (Ng score, Triple D score, S3HoCKwave score, Kim nomogram, Niwa nomogram) for shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) single-session outcomes in patients with a solitary stone in the upper ureter. The validation cohort included patients treated with SWL from September 2011 to December 2019 at our institution. Patient-related variable
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are the most promising strategy for reducing the carbon emissions of aviation in the near term, but their combustion behavior is not well understood compared to conventional fuels. This work investigates how different properties of SAF may lead to different emergent combustion behavior by targeting a small set of very distinct fuels. The investigation is carried ou
This report summarises the results from an interview and literature study carried out to identify key individual qualities for collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service context. The report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into such individual qualities through using different methods and ma
In this chapter, we will discuss the limitations of police accident data and the added value of health data as a complementary source. Several types of health organisations exist that cover a certain severity of traffic casualties. A number of medical indicators will be discussed, as well as methods to estimate the true number of serious injuries and the completeness of the police reporting. For t
Capolac is a product containing hydroxyapatite (HA) from Arla Food Ingredients, to be used for calcium fortification. The adsorption of casein and whey proteins onto the Capolac was investigated, aiming to solve the sedimentation problem of this insoluble calcium phosphate. The adsorption of casein from sodium caseinate (SC) and whey protein from whey protein isolate (WPI) was first analyzed wit
Unlocking the hidden connection: How asthma gets into your head Have you ever wondered if asthma, a common lung condition, could have effects beyond just your breathing? Recent scientific studies are revealing a fascinating connection between asthma and the brain, bringing to light an unexpected link that has puzzled researchers for years. Asthma is an allergic disease characterized by lung inf
In May 2018, the Swedish Parliament voted in favor of a Sexual Offense legislation based on voluntariness and the new law came into force on the first of July. In the proposal to change the legislation, the government claimed that a new consent culture must be established. The purpose of the amendments is not only to achieve legal effects but also to achieve societal effects, in terms of influenci
Människor väljer att trotsa naturens faror Det har alltid funnits naturkatastrofer och det har alltid funnits människor som tvingas bo i områden där dessa ofta inträffar. Med mer kunskap om varför de bor där går det långsiktigt att ge dessa människor en säkrare vardag. I takt med att världen förändras utsätts allt fler för naturkatastrofer runt om i vår värld. Figur 1 visar på förödelsen från tyThe Philippines are constantly challenged by the forces of nature. Typhoons make landfall on a yearly basis, making the island of Samar a disaster-prone area. This qualitative field study examines the risk perception of inhabitants and why they do live in this high-risk area. The thesis also strives to find out if education on DRR among children and youth affects the societal knowledge on disaster
Small island states, such as those in the Caribbean, are dependent on the nearshore marine ecosystem complex and its resources; the goods and services provided by seagrass and coral reef for example, are particularly indispensable to the tourism and fishing industries. In recognition of their valuable contributions and in an effort to promote sustainable use of marine resources, some nearshore are
Intresset för e-sport har ökat markant de senaste åren. En av de mest populära e-sporterna är Hearthstone, som också är denna uppsats fokus. Idag är det lätt att tjäna pengar på e-sport, både som amatör och som professionell spelare. Med e-sportens framväxt uppkommer nya rättsliga frågor. Denna uppsats syftar till att besvara en av dem: tillgodoser den skatterättsliga regleringen av lotterivinsterE-sports have gained huge recognition over the past few years. One of the most popular e-sports is Hearthstone, which also is the focus of this essay. Nowadays it is easy to make money on e-sports, both as an amateur and as a professional player. As e-sports grow, new legal matters arise. The purpose of this essay is to answer one of these new legal questions: does the regulation of lotteries in t
Innan ett aktiebolag går i konkurs är det inte ovanligt att en större överföring görs, exempelvis till aktieägare. Aktiebolagslagen innehåller regler som kan användas mot bolag som företar illojala transaktioner mot borgenärer. En återbäringstalan av olovlig värdeöverföring är ofta komplex och ekonomiskt tung då omfattande utredningar av bolaget krävs. Konkurslagens återvinningsregler, framföralltBefore a public company goes bankrupt, it is not uncommon that a large transfer is made, for example, to the shareholders. The Limited Company Act i.a. Company Act contains rules that can be used against companies who undertake unlawful transactions from their creditors. A repayment claim of an unlawful transfer is often complex and economically heavy, because major investigations of the company n
At the IT department of IKEA, test specialists who are responsible for software testing are currently using a suite from Hewlett Packard called HP Application Lifecycle Management that includes an analysis tool for test result evaluation. During the implementation of this thesis work, the real world demand for a replacement of the analysis tool became apparent, as the interface of the analysis too
Numerical methods are the norm in modern structural engineering practice Models based on elasticity theory offer powerful methods to analyse complex structural behaviours and accurately predict probable deformation behaviour. Numerical methods in general and particularly finite element methods offer great numerical accuracy. Yet the tendency is that with increased accuracy come the downside of dec
