A novel design of alkali chloride vapour-generating cell has been developed, which can serve as a calibration cell for quantitative ultraviolet absorption concentration measurements and meticulous spectral investigations of alkali compounds. The calibration cell was designed to provide alkali vapour of well-controlled concentrations and temperatures, and consisted of a sealed quartz cell measuring
During the last few years global warming and its effects on climate have been a debated issue. The building industry plays a large part in the human activities which can be influenced by the climate change. Energy consumption and durability of buildings depend a lot on the weather conditions. Many of the developed countries will set their strategies on the probable future conditions considering t
Background: The aims of this study were to establish the diagnostic accuracy of the European Cross-Cultural Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB) for dementia in different ethnic populations in Western Europe, to examine its ability to differentiate cognitive impairment profiles for dementia subtypes, and to assess the impact of demographic variables on diagnostic properties. Methods: The study w
In this report, we summarize and describe the recent unique updates and additions to the Molcas quantum chemistry program suite as contained in release version 8. These updates include natural and spin orbitals for studies of magnetic properties, local and linear scaling methods for the Douglas-Kroll-Hess transformation, the generalized active space concept in MCSCF methods, a combination of multi
The many-body problem in quantum mechanics always presents new challenges and ways to discover new properties of existing materials. The difficulty (if not the impossibility) to solve the many-body problem analytically makes the numerical methods an appealing approach. Here we consider a Python code, which is under development to become an open-source tool to perform studies of finite lattice syst
Inflammation and subsequent endothelial dysfunction are main players in the vascular component of hypertension, and recent findings points to a key role of Sphingosine- 1-Phosphate and its signaling pathways in its pathophysiology. In neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension is the main modifiable risk factor, but insights regarding S1P receptor modulation in response
The Norra Sorgenfri project is one of Malmö's largest urban renewal projects with the vision that the old industrial area will become an integral part of the inner city. The aim of this research is to investigate how Malmö Municipality tries to change the place identity of Norra Sorgenfri through its vision and at whose expense. The theoretical framework is based on previous research on entrep
Klimatförändringar påverkar oss alla globalt men det är missvisande att tro att det drabbar oss alla jämlikt. Denna uppsats argumenterar för att genom att inte skapa ett internationellt regelverk faller bördan orättvist tungt på vissa stater att ta hand om konsekvenserna av klimatförändringar. I uppsatsen kommer jag undersöka argument för ett internationellt ansvar av klimatflyktingar runt de tre
This Master Thesis aims to show an approach to the design of parallel robots,specifically the development of its kinematics. To do this, screw theory will be used, focusing on its theoretical bases and taking it later to practice. First, a theoretical definition of the inverse and forward kinematics of a parallel robot is carried out. Subsequently, algorithms are generated in Python that verify t
Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces This study explores methods to quantify and evaluate error in digital elevation models (DEMs) built from remotely sensed elevation data of the Hintereisferner glacier. A special focus lies on glacier surfaces because glaciers are often inaccessible for field observations but at the same time prone to m
In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled. Examples of variables are heat release, ventilation mode and factors within evacuation modelling
Ericsson has an interest in investigating if the fast-growing concept known as machine learning can be applied to beam management, in a 5G NR environment using mmWave frequencies. Because of the high path-loss at mmWave frequencies and high throughput demands of 5G NR systems it is crucial to the UE to always stay connected to the most suitable beam, to provide highest possible throughput. To obta
This study investigates The National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) and how its’ own pronounced aim to be open accessible “to everyone” is functioning in their everyday praxis. Through a walking phenomenological reportage-analysis (inspired by Michel De Certeau) in the exhibition room of the museums’ latest special exhibiton “Goldenage – World Class Art Between Two Catastrophes”, it is discovered how th
Using laser it is possible to measure the backscattered light from insects. The resulting signal can then be analysed in order to potentially determine the species of the insect. Estimating the fundamental wing beat frequency (FWBF) of insects is important in order do this classification of species, which is an area of research that has been explored previously. In this thesis, the relative phase
Digitalisering är utan tvekan 2000-talets viktigaste bidragande orsak till utvecklingen av den globala ekonomin. Skatteplanering och skatteflykt bland multinationella bolag urholkar nationers skattebas som finansierar det offentliga välfärdssystemet såsom sjukvård, utbildningsinstitutioner och infrastruktur. Digitala affärsmodeller genererar intäkter annorlunda än traditionella affärsmodeller ocDuring the 21th century, digitalization is considered the most important development of the modern global economy. Tax avoidance is a growing issue for governments globally, that are loosing lots of tax money to finance public welfare systems supporting healthcare, educational institutions and infrastructures. Value creation in digital business models generates profits different than traditional b
Abstract Devastating climate change, polluted oceans and biodiversity loss make up only a few of the issues facing the planet in the current man made environmental crisis. Many efforts have been made, but often failed in an attempt to mitigate the crisis. Many social scientists suggest that environmental movements have the potential of promoting change. In Spite of the impressive size of recent en
This project will take a look at the city development process in an African city that by taking part in this race to urbanization and growth, is losing track on the quality of space it is creating. What could one do when the desire to change is not the only factor that matters? When politics, priorities and resources start to define the spaces around us. How far can one go to make sure that the
