Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer är samlingsnamnet på långa molekylkedjor. Runt omkring oss i vårt dagliga liv är vi omgärdade av polymerer så som plaster, lim, fibrer och proteiner. Utvecklingen av många högteknologiska produkter är starkt beroende av polymera material. Grundläggande kunskaper om dem och deras egenskaper är därför viktigt. I ett batteri kan många fördelar erhållas då den koThere is a growing need for multifunctional polymeric materials for the development of several important energy conversion technologies. For example, the polymer electrolyte is a key component in lithium polymer batteries. The basic functions of this electrolyte are to efficiently conduct the lithium ions and physically separate the electrodes. Consequently, these electrolytes should ideally posse

A classical solution for matching two image patches is to use the cross-correlation coefficient. This works well if there is a lot of structure within the patches, but not so well if the patches are close to uniform. This means that some patches are matched with more confidence than others. By estimating this uncertainty more weight can be put on the confident matches than those that are more unce

Qualitative and quantitative visualizations of transonic turbomachinery flows provide essential information on compressibility and Mach number effects on boundary layer development, shock-boundary layer interactions (SBLI) and trailing edge flows. Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) is a relatively new optical technique that allows capturing unsteady density gradient fields through turbomachinery

This is an undeniable fact now that wireless systems pervade all aspects of our lives. These systems are evolving at a rapid clip, connecting more people and devices every single day that goes by. This growth is further fueled by the users’ insatiable appetite for more traffic, be it for online gaming, watching high-fidelity video, downloading huge files, live- streaming and many more uses. With t

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro models, combined with advances in high-content live-cell calcium imaging, provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug screening. However, most calcium imaging analysis tools have been developed for in vivo applications with suboptimal features for processing data from cultured neurons. Here, we present LUMIN (Live-cell User Module for Imag

Background: Over the last decade, computational sciences have contributed immensely to characterization of phenotypes of airway diseases, but it is difficult to compare derived phenotypes across studies, perhaps as a result of the different decisions that fed into these phenotyping exercises. We aim to perform a systematic review of studies using computational approaches to phenotype obstructive a

In post-quantum cryptography (PQC), Learning With Errors (LWE) is one of the dominant underlying mathematical problems. For example, in NIST's PQC standardization process, the Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) protocol chosen for standardization was Kyber, an LWE-based scheme. The primal and the dual attacks are the two main strategies considered for solving the underlying LWE problem of multiple

A search for long-lived particles decaying into hadrons and at least one muon is presented. The analysis selects events that pass a muon or missing-transverse-momentum trigger and contain a displaced muon track and a displaced vertex. The analyzed dataset of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV was collected with the ATLAS detector and corresponds to 136 fb-1. The search employs dedicated reconstr

Study design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal. Objectives: To (i) describe sense of coherence (SOC) and changes over six years in older adults aging with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI) and (ii) investigate how changes in SOC are associated with injury characteristics and changes in sociodemographics and secondary health conditions (SHCs; bowel-related and bladder-related problems, pain and sp

Individual monitoring of radiation workers is essential to ensure compliance with legal dose limits and to ensure that doses are As Low As Reasonably Achievable. However, large uncertainties still exist in personal dosimetry and there are issues with compliance and incorrect wearing of dosimeters. The objective of the PODIUM (Personal Online Dosimetry Using Computational Methods) project was to im

A new efficient synthesis method of angular selective surfaces (ASSs) based on the accurate equivalent circuit model is proposed. The angular dispersion of different components under oblique incidence is modeled by virtual lumped elements in the angular domain. The processes of obtaining the equivalent circuit for substrates, electrically small grids and patch arrays are presented in detail. The s

The strength of Sen’s concept of poverty lies in the fact that it goes beyond the traditional concepts of poverty and is able to grasp the complexity of poverty. At the same time, the strength of Sen’s concept of poverty is also its weakness. It is very abstract indeed. Income does not tell us much about poverty according to the capability deprivation approach since poverty is more than being shor

Background: The effect of interleukin 17-inhibitors on anterior uveitis (AU) in spondyloarthritis (SpA) is poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the risk of AU during treatment with secukinumab versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). Methods: Patients with SpA starting secukinumab or a TNFi 2015 through 2018 were identified in the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register. Occurrence

The masters thesis The particular politics of the home - domestication and parental practices of digital games in everyday life aims at providing a closer look at how games played on phones, consoles or computers are regulated within the everyday of family life. Through semi-structured interviews with nine parents, the author creates understanding for how digital games are not only tied to the mor

Förutsägande om klimatförändringar och nederbördsmönster i den närmaste framtiden samt urbanisering leder till högre volymer av avrinning, vilket i sin tur utmanar hållbarheten och funktionaliteten hos stadsdräneringsnät. För att förstå hur dessa förändringar kommer att påverka den befintliga infrastrukturen i stadsområden behövs integrerad programvara för urban vattenmodell för att identifiera efThe predictions on climate change and precipitation patterns in the near future, as well as urbanization, lead to higher volumes of runoff, which in turn challenge the sustainability and functionality of urban drainage pipe networks. In order to understand how these changes will affect the existing infrastructure in urban areas, integrated urban water model software are needed to identify effectiv

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur rättstillämpningen på S:t Barthélemy fungerade i förhållande till rättstillämpningen i Sverige. Genom en rättshistorisk metod och ett komparativt perspektiv undersöks skillnaderna och likheterna mellan de två rättssystemen. Frågan besvaras genom att närmare undersöka följande tre områden: domstolens sammansättning, lagstiftningen och rättskipningen. DomstolensThe thesis aims to investigate how the adjudication in St. Barthélemy functioned in relation to the adjudication in Sweden. The differences and similarities between the two legal systems are examined through a legal historical method and a comparative perspective. The question is answered by examining the following three areas: the composition of the court, the legislation, and the administration

Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. Bolivia has previously failed to industrialize its lithium,

Avskiljning, transport och lagring av koldioxid (CCS) är en intressant teknologi med förmågan att minska klimatpåverkande utsläpp inom industrisektorn. Denna teknik framhävs regelbundet på både internationell och nationell nivå som ett nyckelbidrag i kampen mot klimatförändringarna, bland annat förespråkas CCS-teknikens nödvändighet av både EU och IPCC. Användningen av CCS har även uppmärksammats Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an interesting technology with the ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions within the industry sector. It is constantly highlighted within the international community as a vital tool in the fight against climate change. Some of those who strongly advocate for the use of CCS include the EU and the IPCC. This technology has also been deemed useful by Swedish au

Frågan om kriminaliseringen av köp av sexuella tjänster är med jämna mellanrum är uppe för diskussion och är därför ett ständigt aktuellt ämne. Efter 2018 års sexualbrottsreform går gränsen för ansvar för våldtäkt vid bristande frivillighet. Reformen innebar således en ökad möjlighet att döma för våldtäkt generellt, och därför även vid sexköp. Denna uppsats syftar därför till att utreda hur de tvåThe criminalization of purchasing of sex is always up for debate and therefore it is constantly a relevant subject. Since the 2018th sexual crime reform, the limit for criminal liability for rape has been the lack of voluntariness. The reform thus meant an extended possibility to convict for rape in general as well as in relation to the purchase of sex. Therefore, the aim of this essay is to inves
