Depending on specific configuration and design, a variety of physical phenomena is present in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). These processes include multi-component gas flow, energy and mass transfer of chemical species in composite domains and sites. Due to the electrochemical reactions, generation and consumption of chemical species together with electric current production are involved at the

During times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers and the public reveal a strong preference for fairness in pricing even when that would reduce efficiency. For example, they support the application of price gouging laws that prevent prices for necessities from skyrocketing but probably also dampen incentives for firms to produce more and alleviate the shortage. More generally, a

This article suggests a model for lexical verb semantics that unifies Halliday’s model for transitivity with Langacker’s concept of base and profile and also with a model for situation type (cf. Smith 1997). It is claimed that verbs adhere to one of four macro domains: the material, the social, the mental or the relational domain.

This article explores how turnover and employer responses in the Swedish healthcare sector reflect the contradictory dynamics of market culture. Dr

Graham Greenes roman The Quiet American analyseras, till stor del med utgångspunkt i uppsatsförfattarens förförståelser av Greenes författarskap och 'Greeneland'. Genom Hans-Georg Gadamers hermeneutiska teorier så som de presenteras i Wahrheit und Methode och det textbegrepp Roland Barthes presenterar i "The Death of the Author" söker uppsatsförfattaren att medvetandegöra sina fö

This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we

I mer än 40 år har det pågått en diskussion om huruvida EU kan och bör ansluta sig till den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna, (EKMR, konventionen). Efter Lissabonfördragets ikraftträdande finns numera till och med en fördragsstadgad skyldighet för unionen att ansluta sig till konventionen. Av den anledningen förhandlade EU-kommissionen
