The earlier studies in this measurement series defined the limits and aims for design process to create better ventilating helmets [1], and tested the insulation [2] and evaporative characteristics [3] of the designed mock-ups. In addition some of the tested mock-ups were modified to study more closely the factors that were expected to improve heat transfer from the bicycle helmets. The present pa
As the concept of gentrification celebrates an even forty years, some of the most basic questions about the process itself remain contentious. What is gentrification? What are its root causes? There is surely no lack of answers, though these are largely stamped by disciplined convention. The purpose of this chapter is to revisit these basic questions and formulate answers that facilitate “having g
Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the proposed technologies which have the potential to achieve zero CO2 emission. Strontium cobalt based perovskite oxygen carriers are promising materials for air separation with a high selectively for oxygen. And these perovskites can produce an oxygen enriched carbon dioxide stream for an oxy-fuel combustion process. The relatively low oxygen production yield may be
The modernisation of Swedish households during the twentieth century prompted a considerable productivity growth in household production. This paper examines the association between this process and the allocation of female time in Swedish urban households during the period 1920-1990. Estimates presented in the paper suggest a minimum potential time reduction for a fixed volume of routine househol
Background: Shape coexistence in heavy nuclei poses a strong challenge to state-of-the-art nuclear models, where several competing shape minima are found close to the ground state. A classic region for investigating this phenomenon is in the region around Z = 82 and the neutron midshell at N = 104. Purpose: Evidence for shape coexistence has been inferred from a-decay measurements, laser spectrosc
AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To describe the study design of a randomised controlled trial with the aim of comparing two different regimes for children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes; hospital-based care and hospital-based home care. BACKGROUND: Procedures for hospital admission and sojourn in connection with diagnose vary greatly worldwide and the existing evidence is insufficient to allow for any c
The concentration of cholesterol in cell membranes affects membrane fluidity and thickness, and might regulate different processes such as the formation of lipid rafts. Since interpreting experimental data from biological membranes is rather intricate, investigations on simple models with biological relevance are necessary to understand the natural systems. We study the effect of cholesterol on th
The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look
Systemet med lekmän i domstol har funnits med under större delen av det svenska rättssystemets framväxt. Nämndemännens roll har däremot förändrats under åren. Sedan 1983 har nämndemännen individuell rösträtt och är i det avseendet jämställda med den lagfarna domaren. Motivet till att ha outbildade domare är att de anses garantera att det i domstolarna fattar beslut som ligger i linje med medborgarLay judges have long played an important role in Sweden's judiciary system, but their role has evolved over time. Since 1983, both lay and legal judges have had individual votes, resulting in equal levels of influence pertaining to judgments. The argument for including lay judges in this process is to ensure that the opinion of Sweden's citizens is not overlooked. Moreover, it results in g
Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o
The Europeans were confronted with something new and unknown to them when they 'discovered' the Americas. Humanity today is at the verge of establishing a settlement on Mars and being confronted with something new and unknown. This raises the question of what can be learned from history. The working hypothesis of this thesis is that humanity is justifying its right to space with arguments
Information sprids och delas på bara några få sekunder i dagens moderna digitala samhälle. Detta påverkar även finansmarknaden som måste anpassa sig till det nya snabbrörliga samhället. Dagens digitala samhälle har skapat ett behov av regleringar av finansmarknaden och dessa lagar. Lagarna har ständigt förnyats och uppdaterats under de gångna åren. Ett av de viktiga målen med denna lagstiftning In the modern digital society information is spread and shared in just a few seconds. This has an effect on the financial market and the financial market has to adapt to the new fast-paced society. The transformation to a digital society creates a demand for regulations by law of the financial market. These regulations have existed since the start of the Swedish financial market in the 1980s and
Under Covid-19-pandemin uppstod många frågor i relation till medicinsk rätt och mänskliga rättigheter. Sverige valde en väg som hade frivillighet och rekommendationer i fokus och senare valde regeringen att införa vaccinationsbevis för att få delta på allmänna sammankomster och offentliga tillställningar. Uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan vaccinationsintyg och Europakonventionens skydd för hälDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, many questions arose in relation to medical law and human rights. Sweden chose a path that focused on voluntariness and recommendations, and later the government chose to introduce proof of vaccination in order to participate in public gatherings and public events. The essay deals with the relationship between vaccination certificates and the European Convention's
Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which

The focus groups consisted of the brands’ main target group, women aged 20-25. F
Iceland is known for its remote location and rough beauty. In their seclusion, the Icelanders have built an independent and peaceful country. They are undeniably a very unique nation, where police officers are not allowed to carry guns, except on special occasions. The society displays a relaxed attitude towards prisons, which are built without concrete walls around. However, faced with the immens
In this thesis I explore the conceptual relationships between Parody, the body and space in via the writer Gail Simone’s version of the comic book heroine Wonder Woman. I develop a critical re-imag(e)ination of performativity, space and the body in contemporary mass culture via Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman. As the title suggests the thesis also elaborate on sexuality understood as a phantasmatic scr
To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o
In the E. ON sponsored research project, Distibution LABoratory, at the Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation at LTH the impact of the increased move towards use of cables in the Swedish distribution grid is examined. The project also built a model of a small distribution grid. The model was used to simulate a Petersen coil earthed grid system. Petersen coil earthing lower
Global demands for water continue to rise while at the same time, the availability of reliable water resources are deteriorating. As 70% of the world’s human consumption of water resources is directed towards agricultural production, the need to improve water use efficiency and sustainability in these areas is of utmost importance. In order to tackle these issues, the concept of “Integrated water
