Introduction: Improvements in virtual reality (VR) have made it possible to create realistic, virtual settings for behavioral assessment and skills training that cannot otherwise be accessed in a safe way in forensic psychiatric settings. VR interventions are under development but little is known how forensic psychiatric patients with severe mental disorders experience VR-assisted assessments or t
Purpose: This paper seeks to overcome the mismatch between evaluation reports and the expectations of the target audience, by identifying crisis management professionals' expectations. Design/methodology/approach: An adapted stakeholder information analysis was used to survey the expectations of 84 crisis management professionals in the Netherlands. A general inductive analysis was applied to qual
This paper presents a new accelerated testing procedure for plastic gears that is based on several different levels of testing. The iterative testing procedure fulfils requests from the product development process. The following criteria are considered for testing: reduced number of tests, shorter test time and reliable results for different applications. The proposed method was applied over the f
Active design is an expression that has been used fore some years now. This paper will present a case study from an excavation of two cavern constructions (80m long x 16m wide x 12m high) and access tunnels in a Bryozoan limestone in southern Sweden. By using various geophysical survey methods like for instance resistivity soundings, in combination with core drilling and geophysical well logs a ge
Introducing the dragon simulation project, we present direct N-body simulations of four massive globular clusters (GCs) with 106 stars and 5 per cent primordial binaries at a high level of accuracy and realism. The GC evolution is computed with nbody6++gpu and follows the dynamical and stellar evolution of individual stars and binaries, kicks of neutron stars and black holes (BHs), and the effect
Detection of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) has become a useful tool in the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis. However, the results obtained with indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and by ELISA for ANCA demonstration do not always correlate. A possible explanation for this finding could be that proteins are denatured during the process of antigen purif
Abstract: A popular belief is that the process whereby search engines tailor their search results to individual users, so-called personalization, leads to filter bubbles in the sense of ideologically segregated search results that would tend to reinforce the user’s prior view (filter bubble hypothesis). Since filter bubbles are thought to be detrimental to society, there have been calls for furthe
Cities are seen as one of the leading forces in making our societies sustainable and resource efficient. The latest trends of sharing homes, cars, bikes, tools and other goods are fast entering our urban lives. The sharing economy is a consumption-production mode in a city, in which value is generated through transactions between peers or organisations that offer access to their idling or underuti
In recent years, we have witnessed an intensive scholarly discussion about the limitations of traditional inward looking regional innovation strategies. New policy approaches put more emphasis on promoting the external connectedness of regions. However, the institutional preconditions for collaboration across borders have received little attention so far. The aim of this paper is to investigate bo
To cause colonization or infection, most bacteria grow in biofilms where differentiation and death of subpopulations is critical for optimal survival of the whole population. However, little is known about initiation of bacterial death under physiological conditions. Membrane depolarization has been suggested, but never shown to be involved, due to the difficulty of performing such studies in bact
In view of the fact that Western films are one of the most consumed forms of popular culture in the world market, this study argues that they are, therefore, integral to the nation branding process of non Western countries. Anchored in postcolonial theory, this research purposely turned to Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis model as a matching analytical framework. With an intention of revea
This thesis explores the architectural potential of compressed wool as a natural material capable of forming complex structures. From the beginning, the project combined two main directions: first, the exploration of natural, growth-based patterns such as differential growth and hyperbolic surfaces, and second, the investigation of material behavior through direct experimentation. These two paths
Denna masteruppsats, genomförd i samarbete med Reco Port AB, undersöker hur den termiska prestandan hos en vikport i aluminium kan förbättras genom digital produktutveckling, beräkningar och simuleringar. Den befintliga portkonstruktionen har begränsad isoleringsförmåga, vilket reducerar dess användningsom- råden i miljöer där energieffektivitet är av stor betydelse. Projektets mål var att sänka pThis thesis, made in collaboration with Reco Port AB, investigates the improvement of thermal performance of an aluminum folding door through digital product development, calculation and simulation. The current door design provides limited insulation, restricting its use in applications where energy efficiency is required. The project aimed to lower the U-value of the door while ensuring structura
The health and well-being of women and girls is vital and is reflected in various indicators of the sustainable development goal three. An agreement between Tanzania and the UN has influenced Tanzanian health policies and plans for women. The health and well-being of women and girls is also a global health challenge, particularly in developing countries such as Tanzania, resulting in several healt
This thesis explores the regulatory friction that surfaces when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) apply side by side to high‑risk AI systems. It homes in on three connected problems. First, there is a procedural overlap between the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA). Second, a normati
