With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial

In the context of reducing aviation emissions, understanding flame dynamics and improving combustion efficiency are key factors in the development of low-emission engines. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and in particular Large Eddy Simulation (LES), are powerful tools to investigate unsteady phenomena such as blow-off of turbulent flames. Understanding flame stabilization and extinction pheno

BACKGROUND: Risk stratification tools for paediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in well-resourced settings are scarce. We prospectively developed models to predict CAP severity within a multinational cohort of paediatric emergency departments (EDs). Our primary objective was to develop a risk prediction model to discriminate between mild CAP and moderate or severe CAP to assist clinicians

This paper examines how India’s national urban development agenda is reshaping relationships between national, State and city-level governments. Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, the flagship programme that heralded a new era of urban investment in India, contained a range of key governance aspirations: linking the analysis of urban poverty to city-level planning, developing holisti

Detta examensarbete presenterar utvecklingen av en ny generation mekanisk nyckelbrytare (KS) för impulsgivning i passersystem. Projektets fokus låg på att förbättra manipuleringståligheten hos hårdvara som exponeras för krävande miljöer, såsom utomhusinstallationer, samtidigt som stöd för flera vanliga cylindertyper integrerades, inklusive Euro DIN, Kaba och ASSA-cylindrar. Att stärka den fysiskaThis master's thesis presents the development of a new generation mechanical key switch (KS) used for key-impulse activation in access systems. The project's focus has been to enhance tamper resistance in hardware exposed to demanding environments, such as outdoor installations, while introducing support for multiple common lock cylinder formats, including Euro DIN, Kaba, and ASSA cylinder

Går det att simulera hur en mikrofonport påverkar en inbyggd mikrofons ljudupptagningsförmåga? Det kan vara komplicerat att förstå hur utformningen på en mikrofonport påverkar ljudet som en mikrofon uppfattar, även de minsta förändringarna påverkar! Mikrofonporten är den lilla öppningen i höljet av en produkt, så som en telefon eller dator, som tillåter ljudvågor att nå produktens inbyggda mikroThe aim of this Master’s thesis project was to investigate whether it would be possible to simulate, using either Boundary Element Method (BEM) or Lumped Element Method (LEM) modelling, how microphone port design impacts an embedded microphone’s ability to capture sound accurately. The project utilized Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology. Key design parameters impacting the performance of an

This thesis explores how public spaces are emotionally and socially experienced through introducing the concept of affective publicness, which is a framework for understanding the emotional and relational dynamics that shape urban public spaces. Departing from the theoretical frame of emotional geography and affective urbanism, the research investigates how affective publicness is felt and shaped

Heading: Swedish municipalities embrace the challenge of determining whether new nuclear power is the carbon-free energy solution they need and want Introduction: New nuclear power has become a hopeful energy frontrunner for numerous Swedish municipalities due to increased need for energy access in Sweden and the ever prevalent need for fossil-free energy. This study explores municipal percepSwedish municipalities are placed in a decision-making position as the nation looks to bolster the nation's energy strategy with increased nuclear power. New nuclear power is posed as an exciting potential solution to the energy crisis and the need for more decarbonized energy sources. New nuclear power also consists of uncertainty, emerging technologies, and planning difficulties. This thesis

This paper looks at two governance challenges that sit behind global commitments to deliver ‘cities without slums’: under what conditions can participatory ideals be successfully transferred to housing redevelopment programmes, and under what conditions can participatory slum redevelopment trigger wider shifts towards inclusive urban governance? It does so by examining Indian national slum redevel

The growing emphasis on affordable housing and the sharp increase in its supply in Indian cities over the past two decades is characterised by two features that diminish the inclusive and integrative role of affordable urban housing. The first is the move toward constructing new housing stock rather than upgrading existing stock. Second, most of this new housing, increasingly in the form of multi-

Expanded state-subsidised housing programmes in middle-income countries raise questions about the displacement and socio-spatial marginalisation of poor households. Examining these questions through people’s experiences of resettlement indicates the importance of mobility to their lives. Drawing on a mixed-method comparative study of Ahmedabad, Chennai and Johannesburg, we ask: How does the reloca

This paper addresses an important, but under-studied, pathway for knowledge production in the field of urban planning: the practitioner engaging with academia through the writing of a PhD. Drawing on our own experiences of doctoral mentoring, in dialogue with PhD candidates, we reflect on the questions and challenges this form of knowledge production raises. The paper aims to extend planning theor

Long-standing questions about the production and control of knowledge about 'the developing world' have been given new urgency through the deployment of impact-evaluation practices within UK universities, highlighting the need for careful ethical reflection on the role of Northern researchers in both academia and practice. In this context, this article takes up the three underlying themes of this

Far beyond its innocence, children and child welfare initiatives have emerged as powerful symbols in Indonesian political campaigns. This research focuses on Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto, showing how their use of initiatives like Smart Card and Free Lunch Program projected legitimacy and garnered votes during the 2014, 2019, and 2024 elections. It uses two main methods: reflexive thematic anal

In this study, we focused on highlighting the importance of relationships between the professional and the client in HVB. The aim was to investigate how the relationship could contribute to preventing recidivism in adolescents and young adults. The study was qualitative and based on our semi-structured interviews to get in-depth reflections and experiences of their work. We used a purposive sampli

The removal and neglect of climate policies - a process known as climate policy dismantling (CPD) - both nationally and internationally, is a growing field of critical climate research that has significant implications for long-term climate adaptation globally. Climate activists on social media have the potential to be both influential and representative of wider CPD discourse, and so provide an i
