Gasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC) has the potential of high efficiency and simultaneous low soot and NOx emissions. Running the engine in PPC mode with high octane number fuels has the advantage of a longer premix period of fuel and air which reduces soot emissions. The problem is the ignitability at low load and idle operating conditions. In a previous study it was shown that it is po
Popular Abstract in English The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete. These two materials are often combined in the structures of wharfs and quays where most steel sheet pile walls have cap beams of reinforced concrete. The degradation processes of these structures must be taken into account both when designing new structures and when inspecting The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete.

Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected. Between 2000 and 2011, nearly 360 intentional fires occurred in s
There is a growing interest in the usage of social media in European museums. Research in the area is scares though. The problem is a lack of an overview on how the usage of social media is spread around Europe and on how museums use social media. Through the observation of 70 European museums and how they use different social media tools, we hope to clarify these questions. We used a three way ap
The aim of this thesis is to study the role of house prices in influencing the effect of monetary policy shocks on private consumption in five EMU member states during the period 1995Q1-2010Q4. The role of house prices may be increasingly important in effecting private consumption possibilities due to the deregulations of mortgage markets in many countries in recent years and the increasing availa
The need for cost-effective linear motion is large in all sectors of industry and the linear actuator is one of the responses to this need. The purpose of this thesis was to search for alternative linear technologies to replace a pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder had certain attributes which the new technology had to reproduce. In order to attain all of these attributes a list of specifications fo
The University of Lund The School of Social Work 2013 Children who have experienced domestic violence - constructions of the child in legal documents. Mari Humaloja Abstract The purpose of this qualitative study is to highlight how children are constructed in the legal process when they have experienced domestic violence. This study has a constructionistic approach with presented discourses as
Människokroppen förändras med ökad ålder. Rörelseapparaten, där skelett, leder och muskulatur ingår, påverkas av ökad ålder och där muskulaturen är mest ansatt. Ett vardagligt moment som att resa sig upp ifrån en stol kan därför bli svårt att utföra för äldre personer med en ökad risk för att falla. Den vanligaste olyckan i hemmet är fall. Var tredje person över 65-års ålder faller minst en gång The human body changes with increasing age. The locomotor system, where skeleton, joints and muscles are included, is affected with increased age where muscles are the most affected. A casual moment as rising from a chair will therefore be difficult to perform for older people and an increased risk of falling increases. The most common accident at home is falling accidents. Every third person ove
The aim of our study was to investigate the image the Swedish media present of cannabis and in particular hasch. We gathered all articles published during one month in the year 2002 and in 2012 in three major newspapers in Sweden. The newspapers examined where Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Metro. Through a social constructive perspective and discourse analysis as method we divided the content in
Uppsatsen avser att undersöka den gränsdragningsproblematik som kan uppstå när avtalsparter lämnar en klausul öppen för att den vid ett senare tillfälle ska fyllas med innehåll av en tredjeman. Skillnaden mellan dessa värderingsklausuler och skiljeklausuler samt metoder för att undvika problematik med gränsdragningen är centrala frågor. Värderingsklausuler behandlas endast i samband med företagsövThis thesis intends to distinguish the demarcation problems that may arise when two parties leave an open clause, in a contract, to later be filled with content by a third party. The difference between expert valuation clauses and arbitration clauses, and how to avoid problems with demarcation are the key issues of the thesis. Expert valuation clauses will only be considered in the area of mergers
The so called honour culture and honour related violence is a globally debated subject. The honour related debate arose in Sweden in connection to the honour-killing of Fadime Sahindal in 2002. The aim of this study was to research and present the perception and view of honour cultures that different Swedish social workers may have, and, how they work with honour related cases. Furthermore, the
This thesis addresses a project conducted in collaboration with Volvo Car Corporation, to develop a new concept for luggage covers in car luggage compartments. The purpose was to find a new concept, with focus on user friendliness and environmental sustainability, which automatically opens up for easy loading of the luggage compartment. The fabric in today's solution is made of polyester and P
The purpose of this study is to understand how alcohol culture in corridors is reproduced by applying Bourdieus and Durkheim's theoretical concepts. Furthermore, the study will analyze how people look at alcohol in relation to life situation, context, patterns of action and attitudes, which is important in understanding the statistics available and in order to counteract or encourage alcohol c
Cranioplasty is surgical repair of a skull bone defect due to a previous surgery or injury. Cranioplasty is most often performed with autologous bone flap, i.e the patient's own saved bone from previous surgery if this is available. If autologous bone is not available then custom procedure is to manually mould an implant using bone cement from the plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Manual
Ensuring food safety is an international goal and the Swedish national authority for food has just implemented a new system for risk-based food control. The new system for analyzing food businesses in a risk-based evaluation is based on EU-directives. The directive aims to use risk factors to evaluate food businesses when municipalities plan food safety inspections. In the former system for risk-b
Motivation Efforts to address health disparities are often limited by the lack of robust computational tools for inferring genetic ancestry by calculating an individual's genetic similarity to continental groups. We have already shown that a preferred alternative to self-described race is using ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) that can be classified into ancestral components and used to estimat
Background: Previously untreated patients with severe hemophilia A exposed to factor (F)VIII are at risk of developing high-titer inhibitors. Traditionally, such children were tried on immune tolerance induction (ITI). With availability of nonfactor therapies, recommendations regarding whether to continue trying ITI and how are lacking. Objectives: To provide data to address these questions, we re
Background: Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a life-threatening condition reported as often misdiagnosed. Advancements in CT availability and diagnostic algorithms, including high-sensitivity troponin and D-dimer for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and pulmonary embolism (PE), may reduce AAS misdiagnosis, but the impact remains unclear. This study evaluated the incidence, characteristics, and clinical
