Si fluxes from the continents to the ocean are a key element of the global Si cycle. Due to the ability of coastal ecosystems to process and retain Si, the ‘coastal filter’ has the potential to alter Si fluxes at a global scale. Coastal zones are diverse systems, sensitive to local environmental changes, where Si cycling is currently poorly understood. Here, we present the first palaeoenvironmenta
The extraction of spectral information in the inversion process of time-domain (TD) induced polarization (IP) data is changing the use of the TDIP method. Data interpretation is evolving from a qualitative description of the subsurface, able only to discriminate the presence of contrasts in chargeability parameters, towards a quantitative analysis of the investigated media, which allows for detail
Wheat straw is one of the main agricultural residues of interest for bioethanol production. This work examines conversion of steam-pretreated wheat straw (using SO2 as a catalyst) in a hybrid process consisting of a short enzymatic prehydrolysis step and a subsequent simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) step with a xylose-fermenting strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A successful
A general expression containing all the divergences in Chiral Perturbation Theory at one loop for anomalous processes has been calculated. The nonrenormalization of some amplitudes (Adler-Bardeen theorem) is observed. The different types of corrections are identified. The contributions from vector meson exchange are determined for all anomalous processes. Explicit cancellation of divergences is sh
Signals of Opportunity Reflectometry (SoOp-R) employs the communication system, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) constellation and other potential Signals of Opportunity (SoOp) as the transmitters. In recent years, it has gained increased interests. Several experiments have been carried out, however it is still in the initial development stage. Theoretical predictions of SoOp Reflectometr
This paper uses the three spatial design workshops D-Thinking Urban Strategy; Re-Ts >> Space(s) Innovation, and ZHUuGROUND 14 as the intellectual framework to evaluate experimentation as a pedagogical model in current interdisciplinary design education. The three workshops were conducted by the independent teaching and research organization, the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RI
In this thesis, I address people’s experiences of being born with a body that does not meet the normative definitions of male or female. The situation when sex characteristics develop in ways that do not conform to binary models is referred to as intersex or disorders of sex development (DSD). This research has been done in the context of the 2006 medical consensus statement on intersex/DSD, and i
The exhibition and public programme “Systems, Organisms, Symbiosis” reopens again at EIGHT (Polytechniou 8) from 23 September to 22 October 2021. It focuses on active interactions of systems, beings, organisms and narratives as these take place in urban, social and environmental fields. Thinking through notions of mutation, immunity and continuity it explores emergent instituent forms, models of c
Despite its role in ensuring the ubiquity of fossil fuels in modern society, the petrochemical sector has long flown under the public radar in energy and climate debates. However, faced with increasing pressures from its involvement in driving multiple and intersecting ecological crises, firms in the petrochemical industry are seeking to make sustainability a core part of their public image. Altho
We present the first results of K2-OjOS, a collaborative project between professional and amateur astronomers primarily aimed to detect, characterize, and validate new extrasolar planets. For this work, 10 amateur astronomers looked for planetary signals by visually inspecting the 20 427 light curves of K2 campaign 18 (C18). They found 42 planet candidates, of which 18 are new detections and 24 ha
För att en häktad person inte ska kunna försvåra brottsutredningen går det att ålägga denne restriktioner avseende möjligheterna till kontakt med omvärlden. Det kan emellertid vara mycket påfrestande att vara häktad med restriktioner. Artikel 3 i Europakonventionen innehåller ett förbud mot tortyr samt mot omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling eller bestraffning. Artikeln kan aktualiseras vid anvIn order to prevent a pre-trial detainee from obstructing the criminal investigation it is possible to impose restrictions on the possibilities of contacting the outside world. However, it can be very challenging to be detained with restrictions. Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which contains a prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, can be ap
CellaVision’s digital hematology systems are designed to analyze blood and pre-classify different types of blood cells. Some abnormal white blood cells are rare, which can cause imbalanced datasets. This can lead to a decrease in pre- classification performance and a need to carry out more time-consuming data gathering. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the possibility of using deep learnin
Den här uppsatsen undersöker villkoren för vårdpersonalens yrkesansvar och motsvarande ansvarsutkrävande processer som aktualiseras vid omedvetet oaktsamma misstag i yrkesutövningen. Processen är viktig i en så riskfylld och samhällsviktig verksamhet som hälso- och sjukvården, där vårdpersonalen är den yttersta försäkran om att människor ska få en patientsäker vård. Riskerna för patientsäkerheten This essay examines the conditions of the duties of healthcare professionals and the corresponding processes of accountability activated by negligent mistakes within the profession. Accountability is important in such a hazardous yet crucial societal institution as the healthcare system, where health workers is the primary insurance for a patient-safe healthcare. The risks threatening patient-safe
Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka hur Monroes idéer (Monroe, 1997) om en framgångsrik skola fungerar på en svensk skola. För att få reda på mer om framgångsrika skolor, har jag studerat aktuell forskning i ämnet. Jag har även besökt en skola i Sverige där man använder sig av denna skolmodell. Jag har valt att använda mig av kvalitativ forskning, där jag har använt intervjuer, samt ob
Finding work for people with severe physical disabilities is not easy. This master thesis aims to investigate the possibility of creating new job opportunities for these people, using speech recognition. One possibility is to construct an application where a person works in a callcentre by using his/her voice. To test the idea a co-operation with the callcentre at Trygg Hansa in Malmö was initiate
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the cutdowns and the savings can have an effect on the health and the wellbeing of the personnel on the basis of their own stories as well as the meaning of the different leading styles that are used on the daily basis and how that can matter on the creation of a more healthy workplace. The starting point of this study is the experiences of the pers
In January 2014 a new system for archival description will take effect in all Swedish government agencies, as prescribed by the Swedish National archives. This system is based upon the notion of processes as a way to describe organizations; processes containing activities and transactions that renders traces of information. It is a system that is fundamentally different from the preceding one. The
