Internet of Things (IoT), det vill säga fysiska objekt med inbyggd elektronik som kan kopplas upp mot internet och styras eller utbyta data över nätet, har idag blivit en självklar del i många personers vardag. Det kan vara allt från hälsoarmband och kylskåp, till glödlampor och termostater. Som förutspås har vi dock ännu inte sett det stora genombrottet för denna teknik och vad den kan komma att The Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. physical objects with embedded electronics that can be connected to the internet and be controlled or exchange data over the network, has become an integral part of many people's daily lives. IoT devices can be anything from fitness trackers and refrigerators to light bulbs and thermostats. However, as is being predicted, we have yet to see the major breakthr

Introduction: Side-stream residue, oat okara, from the oat-milk production contains valuable nutrients but possesses a high risk of microbial spoilage. Valorisation of oat okara is therefore important to make sure that the oat beverage production stays sustainable. In this project, High-pressure processing (HPP), heat treatment and Lactobacillus fermentation have been evaluated for their microbial

EU:s hållbarhetsarbete har under senare år fokuserat på ekonomin, där finansmarknaden spelar en avgörande roll för att uppnå en hållbar tillväxt. Förordningen om hållbarhetsrelaterade upplysningar (SFDR) utgör tillsammans med taxonomiförordningen centrala regelverk för att integrera hållbarhet i finansmarknadsaktörers riskhantering. Genom dessa regelverk ställs krav på att aktörerna tillhandahålleIn recent years, the EU’s sustainability efforts have increasingly focused on the economy, where the financial market plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable growth. The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), together with the Taxonomy Regulation, constitutes a central part of the EU’s regulatory framework for integrating sustainability into the risk management processes of financ

This paper adresses key issues of constructions and ideas of our social reality in relation to the international political organisation. Through constructivist analyses this paper highlights and contrast two identity contructions which are of great relevance for the European integration of today. By definig the main charachters of the persistant and condemning discourse of Balkanism and the young

A stochastic model based on a probability density function (PDF) was developed for the investigation of different conditions that determine knock in spark ignition (SI) engine, with focus on the turbulent mixing. The model used is based on a two-zone approach, where the burned and unburned gases are described as stochastic reactors. By using a stochastic ensemble to represent the PDF of the scalar

We consider the implications of a model for long-duration gamma-ray bursts in which the progenitor is spun up in a close binary by tidal interactions with a massive black-hole companion. We investigate a sample of such binaries produced by a binary population synthesis, and show that the model predicts several common features in the accretion on to the newly formed black hole. In all cases, the ac

Popular Abstract in Swedish I december 1990 antog riksdagen i Sverige ett miljötillägg i skollagens s k portalparagraf: "Var och en som verkar inom skolan skall främja? respekt för vår gemensamma miljö." Alltså: Alla som verkar i skolan ska nu ta sig an den nya miljötematiken i samhället. Strax därefter tillsatte regeringen en ny läroplanskommitté med ett tydligt miljöuppdrag. I juni 1992, vid FNThis thesis explores the various influence processes that take place in connection with the dawn of a new theme - the environment - in today's society. Society has declared that schools, a place designed for the intentional influence of children and youths, shall utilise the new environmental theme in its practice. It focuses on the initiation process of the environmental theme in schools from the

This paper argues that there is a norm in the publication of quantitative management research that accepted hypotheses are conceived of as good hypotheses. This has far-reaching implications for quantitative research in that, in the worst case scenario, this norm encourages commonsensical research questions and manipulation of data in order for an article to be published. Naturally, such behavior

In the work presented in the thesis laser diagnostics was employed primarily in the investigation of engines, but was also used to study soot in flames. Quantitative measurements were performed for visualizing both in-cylinder soot formation and DME sprays in a combustion vessel. The DME sprays inside a diesel truck engine were also qualitatively investigated. The combustion process in the HCCI en

Magnetic compass orientation by amphibians, and some insects, is mediated by a light-dependent magnetoreception mechanism. Cryptochrome photopigments, best known for their role in circadian rhythms, are proposed to mediate such responses. In this paper, we explore light-dependent properties of magnetic sensing at three levels: (i) behavioural (wavelength-dependent effects of light on magnetic comp

Disordered eating and its associations with psychological difficulties and body satisfaction were prospectively studied in a community sample of 13-15 year old adolescent girls (N = 428). General psychological difficulties (including hyperactivity-inattention) and lower levels of body satisfaction at T1 were found to predict disordered eating at follow-up one year later (T2). Furthermore, reciproc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut pankreatit (bukspottkörtelinflammation) drabbar årligen cirka 300 individer per miljon invånare i Sverige. Dödligheten ligger totalt på cirka 4-7 % och betydligt högre, cirka 20 %, vid svår nekrotiserande pankreatit. Mortaliteten är vanligen associerad med multipel organsvikt och korrelerad till storleken på det inflammatoriska svaret. Underliggande mekanismer för Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and the remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The aim of the present study was to further characterize the dynamics and sequence of the immune response in AP, and to determine the cellular origin of the initiating ev

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att ge en översikt över cirka hundra år av europeisk intellektuell historia som lyfter fram nya aspekter av de klassiska tänkarna. Analysen av de fyra filosoferna Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume och Charles de Montesquieu syftar till att belysa en generell historisk process, nämligen hur den moderna människosynen växer fram i Europa. EThis essay has three main aims. The first one is to give an overview of some hundred years of European intellectual history, bringing out new aspects of the classical thinkers. The analysis of the four philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume and Charles de Montesquieu aims at illustrating a general historical process, viz. the emergence of the modern view of man in Europe. After Hobbes,

Initial results from the XUV undulator beamline at the 4.5 GeV storage ring DORIS are reported. The beamline consists of three different undulators mounted on a revolver type device and a modified SX-700 plane grating monochromator with a spherical focusing mirror. It covers the spectral range from 50–2000 eV with excellent spectral resolution and high photon flux. In the energy range 400 eV to 1

Gift-for-sex (GFS) barters are a niche practice potentially representing the commodification of everyday dating practices. We inquire how GFS exchanges are practiced and understood in contemporary Russia. Second, we situate these in relation to contemporary economic culture. Our project provides answers in two steps based on online content. First, we identify GFS exchange practices within a major

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling inspirerades av utvecklingspsykologiska teoretiker som Bowlby, Stern och Winnicott, vilka alla anser att den tidiga emotionella kommunikation mellan barn och vårdare är betydelsefull för utvecklingen av barnets självvärdering och värdering av andra och hur barnet kommer att relatera till andra senare i livet. Frågeställningarna i de olika studierna beröThis thesis investigated emotional communication in experimentally created face-to-face interaction situations. The hypotheses were based on the conception of a process which leads to emotional empathy, assuming that automatic mimicking tendencies are involved in an automatic part of the process. Subjects were categorised as high- or low-empathic according to results on the Questionnaire Measure O

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ugandas regering har strävat efter att skapa en behovsbaserad och kostnadseffektiv hälso- och sjukvård på två olika sätt: hälsosektorn har decentraliserats för att öka ansvarstagande och medverkan på lägre nivåer. Kompetens har byggts upp för att kunna utveckla en nationell policy, och därigenom kunna bedöma sjukvårdsbehov och för att göra kostnadseffektiva prioriteringThe Ugandan Government has aimed at creating a needs-based and cost-effective health care system. The means to carry out this aim have been 1) a decentralization of the health sector in order to increase lower-level responsibility, accountability, and participation, and 2) a strong national policy formulation capacity, facilitating needs assessment and cost-effective prioritization.
