The runoff from real 3 cm thick sedum-moss roofs and from laboratory roof plots in southern Sweden is measured and analysed. Real rains and artificial storms are used for the analysis. The probability of high runoff is compared with the probability of high precipitation intensity. Intensity-duration-frequency curves for runoff are derived and it is found that the runoff of 1.5 year return period c
In structural engineering the system effect is known as the possibility of transversal collaboration among parallel load-bearing elements due to mechanical load sharing. The statistical system effect, related to the variation of strength within structural timber elements, is investigated in this paper. The system investigated is a roof truss of W-type. The strength variation within and between tim
Background: Chronic pain patients are common in general practice. In this study "chronic pain" is defined as diffuse musculoskeletal pain not due to inflammatory diseases or cancer. Effective patient-physician relations improve treatment results. The relationship between doctors and chronic pain patients is often dysfunctional. Consultation training for physicians and medical students can improve
A computer-controlled biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) analyzer has been developed for fast estimation of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD,,) automatically with the purpose of on-line monitoring of a process for conversion of biomass under field conditions. The instrument was tested by on-line monitoring of the connecting stream between two stages of a two-stage anaerobic process in laboratory scale.
The UV photodissociation (<5 eV) of diiodomethane (CH(2)l(2)) is investigated by spin-orbit ab inito calculations. The experimentally observed photodissociation channels in the gas and condensed phases are clearly assigned by multi-state second-order multiconfigurational perturbation theory in conjunction with spin-orbit interaction through complete active space-state interaction potential energy
The photodissociation of bromoiodomethane has been investigated by spin-orbit ab initio calculations. The experimentally observed A- and B-bands and the corresponding photoproducts were assigned by multistate second-order multiconfigurationol perturbation theory in conjunction with spin-orbit interaction through complete active space state interaction potential energy curves, vertical excitation e
Background/Objectives A cascade of gene activations under the control of Notch signalling is required during T-cell specification, when T-cell precursors gradually lose the potential to undertake other fates and become fully committed to the T-cell lineage.We elucidate how the gene/protein dynamics for a core transcriptional module governs this important process by computational means. Methods We
In microfluidic systems, resonant acoustic fields enable controlled particle manipulation, a phenomena known as acoustophoresis. These contactless and low-cost processes have successfully been applied to manipulate bulk particle populations, however robust single-cell manipulation for single-cell analysis remains a challenge. This work presents an experimental investigation into optimising the con
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the factors, circumstances and insights influencing Swedish organizations in their own transitioning process towards AI. The work conducted within this thesis results in a qualitative report where a number of focus areas are reviewed in an attempt to first provide a holistic picture surrounding the definitions, contexts, activities and mindsets involved in
More than 400 million people in the world have type 2 diabetes, making it one of the most common diseases internationally according to the World Health Organization. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) is used to treat type 2 diabetes since it increases the sensitivity of insulin in peripheral tissues. The knowledge about the mechanism how TZD works is limited which has resulted in patients getting serious
I Sverige avlider över tusen personer varje år till följd av en fallskada och cirka 70 000 personer skadas såpass allvarligt att de behöver vård. Fallolyckor kostar Sverige 11.1 miljarder kronor per år och är en av de största utmaningarna för sjukvården och äldreomsorgen idag. Då risken att råka ut för en fallskada ökar med ålder samt att en stor del av befolkningen i Sverige beräknas nå pensionsåMore than a thousand people die each year in Sweden due to fall injuries and approximately 70,000 people injures themselves so seriously that they need care. Falling accidents cost Sweden 11.1 billion SEK a year and is one of the biggest challenges for healthcare and elderly care today. Since the risk of fall injuries increase with age and a large part of the population in Sweden is expected to re
Popular Abstract in Swedish I högrisksystem såsom sjukvården är det frestande att härleda såväl framgång som motgång till enskilda individer. Vi prisar hjälten Dr. House för framgångssagor och vi drar syndabocken SOS-sköterskan inför domstol för att inte ha uppfattat allvaret i en specifik situation. Den enskildes professionalitet, erfarenhet och klokskap används som förklaringsmodeller för framgåThe main aim of the research is to explore different aspects of organisational resilience in escalating situations, with an investigation of both theoretical and practical implications. From the platform of an explorative approach, this study makes use of naturalistic research in the domain of health care and experimental simulation studies, in order to establish a broad theoretical framework vis-
In this work the inhomogeneous (zero-phonon line) and homogeneous linewidths and the permanent electric dipole moment change (averaged value of all dipole orientations) for the Ce 4f-5d transition in Y2SiO5 were measured in order to investigate the possibility for using Ce as a sensor to detect the hyperfine state of a spatially close-lying Pr or Eu ion. The experiments were carried out on Ce dope
The planning and construction of a facility can affect several interests. Positive effects are, for instance, better communications, better housing and a higher standard of living. However, construction projects inevitably bring varying degrees of deterioration and change at the local level, not least at the construction site. Representatives of these interests are referred to as the project's sta
The purpose of this study was to explore the head coaching through greater understanding of clients' experiences of the coaching process. The study should be classified as a qualitative study with phenomenological approach. All participants in the study were middle managers and were employed at a company that is a leading Austrian supplier with headquarters in Vienna (Austria). The company als
Abstract: This bachelor thesis explores the concept of just culture within aviation, with a specific focus on European airline captains’ knowledge, understanding, and perception of their reporting obligations. Grounded in the theoretical just culture framework of safety culture, developed by James Reason (1997), the study examines whether the principles of just culture - now nearly 30 years ol
This study examines how the reform from the Department of Education (SOU 2021:30) aimed at improving students’ achievement through additional study time and expanded school programs is implemented in elementary schools. The focus is on teachers’ perceptions and the importance of their room for maneuver and organizational conditions. The study addresses two research questions; how teachers perceive
För att underhålla järnvägar på rätt sätt behöver arbetare kunna nå spåret snabbt och enkelt. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur tillgången till järnvägsanläggningar fungerar idag och vilken skillnad servicevägar gör för underhållsarbetet. Studien bygger på intervjuer med åtta personer från Trafikverket och järnvägsunderhållsföretag, data från felrapporteringssystemet Ofelia för åren 2000–2023 samTo maintain railways properly workers need to be able to reach the track quickly and easily. This thesis looks at how access to railway facilities works today and what difference maintenance access roads make for maintenance work. The study is based on interviews with eight people from Trafikverket and railway maintenance companies, data from the fault reporting system Ofelia covering the years 20
Distillation is the primary separation technique in the petrochemical industries, but it operates with extremely low thermodynamic efficiency. It represents the largest share of industrial energy consumption, making its decarbonization a global priority. While advanced process technologies, such as Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) and the Heat-Integrated Distillation Column (HIDiC), offer a pa
