Characterization of spark ignition energy transfer at different phases using pressure-rise calorimetry

The paper presents novel studies on the electrical-to-thermal energy deposition to gas at different phases of a spark. The experiments utilized a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. The energy transfer efficiencies across spark phases—breakdown+arc, and glow are quantified, emphasizing their importance in ensuring robust ignition. An AC capacitive ignition system was considered in the

Criticality Through Critical (Self- )Reflection in Student Teachers’ Placement in English Language Teacher Education

Critical reflection and self-reflection are two interrelated abilities universally perceived as fundamental for teachers’ professional practice. In European policy documents, these are also linked to the goal of building and consolidating education for democracy (Lenz et al., 2021, p. 9). Moreover, in the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance, they are mentioned in the second competence-and-skills ou

Adjusting aggressiveness of Depth-of-Hypnosis PID control by MPC-based feedforward

In this paper we propose a technique to enhance the performance of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)-based control structure for Depth-of-Hypnosis control in total intravenous anesthesia when set-point changes are required during the maintenance phase. In particular, the PID controller, tuned for disturbance rejection, is integrated with a feedforward action based on Model Predictive Contro

High Hopes and Hard Lessons : How Problems Are Represented in Swedish Teacher Education Reform

In this paper, I draw on my background as an educational scientist with roots in sociology and gender studies to explore how public debate, political reforms, and policy documents shape Swedish teacher education with the aim of reforming not only the school system but also Swedish society. Historically, teacher education in Sweden has been influenced by visionary ideals, particularly with the intr

Förutbestämda liv och utbildningens syfte : En litteratursociologisk läsning av Kazuo Ishiguros roman Never Let Me Go

Den här studien tar sin utgångspunkt i Kazuo Ishiguros dystopiska roman Never Let Me Go. Med teoretiskt stöd från Gert Biestas (2011) tre utbildningsdimensioner – kvalificering, socialisering och subjektifiering – samt barndomssociologins dikotomi being och becoming (Jenks 1982; James, Jenks & Prout 1998), analyseras hur romanen förhåller sig till och problematiserar relationen mellan barndom,

Klämd mellan kunder, patienter och kostnader? : Veterinärers arbetsmiljö i en ekonomiserad djursjukvård

Bakgrund och syfte Arbetsmiljön för veterinärer i Sverige har på senare tid uppmärksammats i media med larm om hög arbetsbelastning, höga sjukskrivningstal och bristfälliga arbetsförhållanden. En studie i Norge har visat att 30 % av veterinärerna har psykiska problem och att självmordstankar är vanliga. Övrig internationell forskning har visat hur etiska konflikter och moralisk stress i allt högre

Critically Performing Post-Growth Marketing : A guide for dystopian optimists

Moving beyond both utopian optimism's market-based solutions and terminal marketing's pessimism, this work introduces a dystopian optimism to revitalise critical marketing. We advocate for degrowth as an optimistic path forward and outline how marketing scholars can use critical performativity to be part of the transition to a post-growth economy.

Rights-based climate litigation with children as protagonists : a critical review of the literature

The last couple of years’ child/youth-led climate cases like Juliana v. US, Sacchi et al. v. Argentina et al. and the Duarte Agostinho case at the European Court of Human Rights have sparked the beginnings of a new sub-field of socio-legal child rights studies. The present paper systematically and critically reviews this emerging body of literature on rights-based climate litigation with children

Analysis of Control Systems Under Sensor Timing Misalignments

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the stability and performance of control systems experiencing sensor timing misalignments, a common challenge in practical applications such as autonomous vehicles and aerospace systems. We model multichannel sensor delays as independent random variables, capturing the variability of real-world systems where different sensors exhibit distinct and non-con

Impact of antenna pattern directivity on near-field focusing of planar array in large intelligent surface applications

Near-field focusing (NFF) is a fundamental enabler for a broad spectrum of applications utilizing large intelligent surfaces (LIS) within sub-10 GHz frequency bands. This paper investigates the impact of element pattern on NFF properties, when the LIS array is a large planar array. The NFF properties of maximum received power, focal width, and focal depth are analyzed for three typical antenna pat

A Novel Approach to Aquifer Classification Using Hysteresis Loop Analysis and Deep Learning for Sustainable Groundwater Management

Aquifer classification plays a pivotal role in understanding groundwater dynamics and informing sustainable water resource management, especially in regions under significant stress from over-extraction. This study presents a novel remote sensing-based methodology for classifying aquifers represented by monitoring wells within the study area. The approach integrates stress-strain analysis, incorpo

Välfärdsteknik och uppväxling av kompetens (eller nerväxling)?

Bakgrund: Det är ett välkänt faktum att den demografiska utvecklingen kommer att kräva nya arbetssätt för att äldre ska kunna få vård i liknande omfattning som tidigare. Förhoppningen har ställts till införandet av välfärdsteknik som en viktig del av kompetensförsörjningen, inte bara för att den kan bidra till att upprätthålla välfärden trots fler äldre, utan också genom att göra äldreomsorgsarbet

Large Eddy Simulation of a model jet-engine swirl-stabilized flame using sustainable aviation fuels

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) typically exhibit a composition that differs significantly from conventional jet fuels. These variations in chemical makeup influence the thermophysical and reactive properties of these propellants. In this study, Finite-Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are employed to investigate turbulent spray flames from a Triple Annular Research Swirler (TARS)
