Målet med examensarbetet är att simulera och utvärdera fordon-bro interaktion med avseende på ojämnheter i vägbana och jord-bro interaktion med olika fordonsmodeller och egenskaper på fjädringen. Parameterstudier kommer genomföras för plattram- och plattbroar. Syftet är att jämföra resultatet med den dynamiska förstoringsfaktorn enligt Trafikverket (TDOK 2013:0267) och att föreslå lämpliga rekommeThe objective of the thesis is to simulate and evaluate vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) due to road surface irregularities and soil-structure interaction (SSI) with different vehicle models and suspension properties. Parameter studies will be carried out for integral and slab bridges. The aim is to compare the results with the current formula for the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) according t

Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee

Upplevelser hos människor som söker asyl eller flyktingstatus präglas av olika prövningar och svåra upplevelser innan, under och efter migrationen, vilket gör dessa individer mer mottagliga för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa. Denna scoping review syftade till att kartlägga och utforska relationen mellan postmigrationsstressorer (såsom utmaningar relaterade till legal status, ekonomi, boendesituation,Experiences of people seeking refuge and asylum are characterized by diverse adversities before, during, and after migration, making these individuals more susceptible to developing mental ill health. This scoping review intended to map and explore the relation between post-migration stressors (such as struggles related to legal status, finances, housing, and discrimination in the context of reset

Maturation stage ameloblasts of rodents express vacuolar type-H-ATPase in the ruffled border of their plasma membrane in contact with forming dental enamel, similar to osteoclasts that resorb bone. It has been proposed that in ameloblasts this v-H-ATPase acts as proton pump to acidify the enamel space, required to complete enamel mineralization. To examine whether this v-H-ATPase in mouse amelobla

The impact of the sourcing department has gotten more and more attention in the past couple of decades. This has resulted in numerous frameworks and scorecards to guide companies through different sourcing decisions. This interest in sourcing has grown side by side with the increased globalisation and outsourcing. Therefore, relevant measurable criteria have moved from a supplier-oriented level, t

The Glass Ceiling is a proven and documented phenomenon for several countries. This paper tries to trace its existence of changing behaviour in the gender pay gap across the income distribution between the periods 1970 and 1990, and through a selection of professions for the highly educated individuals. This will show at the same time the transformation suffered by Swedish labor market between tho

Titel: Sportjournalistiken: Vem får vara med? Författare: Philip Trollér och Anton Unosson Kortelainen Institutionen för Kommunikation och Medier, Lunds Universitet MKVA21:4 Undersökningen redogör för hur könsfördelningen och arbetsfördelningen ser ut i de medierna som granskats. Även om journalistens kön har betydelse för artikelns placering, betydelse och inflytande, samtidigt som frågor kring

Introduction: This multicenter, prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the performance of the StatStrip® Lactate 2 (Nova Biomedical, Waltham, US) point-of-care device for fetal blood lactate measurement and to determine the corresponding lactate value equivalent to the established intervention cutoff used with the outgoing StatStrip® Lactate device. Material and Methods: The study was c

Cities face a host of challenges including urbanisation and climate change and must quickly adapt and integrate sustainability solutions to deal with these challenges. One platform seen as a mechanism to support innovation for sustainability in cities is the concept of the living lab. A living lab is a user-centred, open innovation ecosystem that seeks to engage academia, industry and municipaliti

New legislation involving emissions from internal combustion engines are pushing the manu-facturers to develop new technology faster than ever before with the amount of greenhouse gases. To meet the standards new concepts need to be developed with lower fuel consumption and emissions. This thesis covers the implementation of a couple of methods to achieve this. These concepts are DEP with fully va

This thesis has investigated the municipal urban project Warszawska Dzielnica Społeczna (WDS) in the district of Wola, Warsaw, Poland. WDS was a city initiated urban project presented in 2019. The project has not been realized. When speaking to city officials, it remained unclear as to why. Therefore, it was found interesting to investigate why the organization that initiated the project, did not

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between space and consumer interaction at WEEKDAY, a contemporary fashion retail store in Malmö, Sweden. The thesis is based on a qualitative case-study and has a social constructionist approach. In order to understand the interaction taking place between consumer and environment we conducted observations guided by Kenneth Burke’s Penta

Our understanding of public support for climate policies predominantly stems from studies in the Global North and a focus on isolated policy types. Here, we examine how public support for four different climate policy types and the effect of ideological explanatory variables on such support vary among countries of the Global North and Global South. We surveyed representative samples of each three

OBJECTIVE: Traditional rejection surveillance after heart transplantation (HTx) is based on endomyocardial biopsies (EMB), which are invasive, expensive and associated with complications. Monitoring using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is promising, but most studies report only on the donor fraction (DF) as the percentage of donor derived-cfDNA (dd-cfDNA) relative to total-cfDNA. We evaluated the performan

Glucuronic acid (GlcA) is an abundant substituent in hardwood xylan, and it is often found in its methylated form as methyl glucuronic acid (MeGlcA). GlcA and MeGlcA are sugar acids, bound to the xylose backbone at position O-2, and their presence can affect the digestibility of the polymer. Currently, detection of released GlcA or MeGlcA from synthetic substrates such as pNP-glucuronic acid can b
