Dehydrogenase based bioelectrocatalysis has been increasingly exploited in recent years in order to develop new bioelectrochemical devices, such as biosensors and biofuel cells, with improved performances. In some cases, dehydrogeases are able to directly exchange electrons with an appropriately designed electrode surface, without the need for an added redox mediator, allowing bioelectrocatalysis

Some of the most important challenges in teaching Intelligence Analysis in anacademic context are to make the students reflect on their own biases and toconvey how group dynamics shape the analytical process. Only by learningthis can they understand the ease with which an individual or group slips intofamiliar patterns of thinking and thus fails to identify new, unexpecteddevelopments. According t

Being stateless, roughly means being without a citizenship of any nation. This is the definition of being stateless in legal terms, called de jure statelessness. There is also statelessness that entails being without the efficient protection of one’s nation, called de facto statelessness. Two groups of stateless migrants that correspond to these definitions are Bidoons from Kuwait and Palestinians

Sexualbrottsoffer vågar inte anmäla det dem utsatts för, inte av rädsla för förövaren utan av rädsla för själva processen. Juridiken ses som en egen suverän organisation, frånskild verklighetens problem och individer. När brottsoffret väl anmäler och går in i denna rättsliga bubbla, är det inte offrets verkliga behov och rättigheter som är styrande för processen. Istället används sexualbrottsofferVictims of sexual crime do not dare to report the assault they were subjected to, not for fear of the perpetrator but for fear of the criminal process itself. The legal system is seen as a sovereign organization, out of touch with the reality, and out of touch with the problems and individuals of the society. If, however, the victim reports the crime and through that enters this legal bubble, it i

Implementation in public organizations is a complicated process. Previous research has shown that neither a top-down or bottom-up perspective is sufficient to explain why certain implementations succeed and others fail. Alternative models that take the complexity of implementation processes into account by among other things allowing for the interaction between both horizontal and vertical levels

Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t

This study presents a geographic information system–based multiple criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for mapping forest fire risk zones in the Mediterranean region of Evros, Greece, which is close to Alexandroupoli city and two national parks extremely rich in biodiversity, National Park Dadias - Soufliou - Lefkimmis and Evros Delta. A pairwise compari

Abstract: This bachelor thesis explores the concept of just culture within aviation, with a specific focus on European airline captains’ knowledge, understanding, and perception of their reporting obligations. Grounded in the theoretical just culture framework of safety culture, developed by James Reason (1997), the study examines whether the principles of just culture - now nearly 30 years ol

Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using

The primary aim of this thesis is to analyze and uncover stereotypes concerning Caucasian westerners among Japanese citizens. This is done by looking into recent Japanese cinema in order to analyze how Caucasian westerners are displayed in the movies in which they appear. A semiotic approach as defined by Jonathan Bignell is used in order to gather data from the selected movies, and the findings d

In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a

Studien har som syfte att undersöka huruvida flygolyckor påverkar flygplanstillverkares aktiepriser. Tidsperioden som undersöks är mellan år 2000 och 2018 och begränsas till olyckor där 30 personer eller fler miste livet. Metoden som ligger till grund för arbetet är en händelsestudie som tillsammans med statistiska test undersöker effekten av flygolyckor. Historiska data i form av faktiska aktieku

The purpose of this work is to expand the toolbox of speech language pathologists and give them the ability to redesign a patient’s voice to a healthier sounding one, thereby giving the patient a target voice to strive towards. A modified voice is generated by applying a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, altering the spectrum of the patient’s voice. In order to facilitate the filter design pro

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has become a commercially viable technology. The technology uses the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction between coils to transfer electrical power wirelessly. Due to the increasing interest in WPT, the need to understand how the power transfer between coils behaves in different settings, as well as the ability to simulate the process, have become increasingly imp

Background. In SBRT of lung tumours no established relationship between dose-volume parameters and the incidence of lung toxicity is found. The aim of this study is to compare the LQ model and the universal survival curve (USC) to calculate biologically equivalent doses in SBRT to see if this will improve knowledge on this relationship. Material and methods. Toxicity data on radiation pneumonitis

Activities with the aim to assess the effects of ISA on driver behaviour through experimental research were carried out. In order to investigate the regional differences in effects on driver behaviour when driving with ISA field trials were set up in Hungary and Spain. Complementary results were added from the Belgian ISA field trials. To investigate the effects on driver behaviour from different
