The packaging solution for freeze-dried adventure food has not changed for a long time. Across the market, the available models look very similar, and differ only in branding and fine detail. With help from concept developers at AR Packaging, and based on interviews with a group of extreme athletes which are the intended users of the product, the package was analysed to see where it can be improve
The use of antidepressants to treat pediatric mental disorders is contentious as for instancethe FDA black box warning in 2004 has shown. Using cross-sectional data containing ret-rospective mental health diagnostics, I study outcomes of childhood and adolescence mentalhealth on labour supply and overall health in adulthood among those who were and werenot affected by the market entry of fluoxetin
This paper addresses the antenna subset selection in multiple antenna systems with full diversity transmission, for both correlated and uncorrelated channels. To reduce the severe performance degradation of traditional selection/combining schemes, we propose to embed phase-shift-only operations in the RF chains before selection. The resulting system shows a significant advantage in utilizing the m
An increased use of the Internet has created new business opportunities. The development of e-commerce has, however, been crippled by a limited understanding of logistics and customer needs. This paper sets out to highlight those issues in pharmaceutical retail where added services should be created through e-commerce. The research is based upon a case study covering the pharmaceutical system in S
Description of the paper – e.g. topic, research question, objective, purpose, value, conceptual or theoretical framework, state of the art: Adult learning is a subject of ever growing interest, as the population of persons 65 and older grows in industrialised countries. By 2010 the number of retired persons in the European Union will be almost twice as large as in 1995 (Ilmarinen & Costa, 2000
High-speed laser diagnostics was utilized for single-cycle resolved studies of the fuel distribution in the combustion chamber of a truck-size HCCI engine. A multi-YAG laser system consisting of four individual Nd:YAG lasers was used for planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of the fuel distribution. The fundamental beam from the lasers at 1064 nm was frequency quadrupled in order to ob
What is woman’s role in the modernist avant-garde? Feminist art historians have long criticised the dominant masculinity of modernism. The problem, as I see it, is the unreflecting way in which history is written, and the way in which women are squeezed into theoretic models that really only affirm, and cater primarily for, men. The German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) has been describe
An increasingly competitive environment, technological advancements and globalisation are a few of the factors placing higher demands on today’s company activities, e.g. development, production and distribution processes. Company activities have hereby become a complex system, even more so if one company is seen as part of a network of companies. The aim of this article is to present and elaborate
Growth from straight cracks is studied, both for loading in pure mode I or II and for mixed mode loading. Small scale yielding and a plane condition are assumed. Growth is assumed to take place in either mode I or mode II. Loss of directional stability sometimes occurs even from cracks that seem destined for continued growth straight forward. A striking example is the case of collinear cracks unde
The Nordic countries Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have formed a deregulated power market. Electricity bought and sold on this market is dominated by hydro power. However, hydro power generation is restricted by the amount of water in reservoirs. The inflow to these reservoirs shows a yearly cycle and seasonal planning of the production is necessary. Seasonal planning for a fictive power pr
Gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) has been extensively studied and applied during recent years in, e.g., food packaging, human sinus monitoring, gas diffusion studies, and pharmaceutical tablet characterization. The focus has been on the evaluation of the gas absorption pathlength in porous media, which a priori is unknown due to heavy light scattering. In this paper, three
In order to study the characteristics of 3D gas-liquid interfaces, flow pattern transitions, and void fraction in mini tubes, virtual multi-vision experiments and numerical simulations are conducted in a 5.16 mm horizontal tube with air as the dispersed phase and water as the continuous phase. Air and water flow velocities range from 0.024 to 12.330 m/s and from 0.039 to 0.942 m/s, respectively. A
The purpose of this paper is to define and discuss the core-customer concept. This concept examines how a company develops its operations around a single or only a few customers. The customer steers what products and services the supplier develops, which means that it is the customer that dictates the supplier's operations. The core-customer concept may be one method for designing a company's oper
Background: In this paper, we share our experiences of using ‘photovoice’ methodology as a way to generate data in intensive care units concerning the place and space of care. We have adapted and modified ‘photovoice’ in researching people's lived experiences of ICU. Researching lived experiences in an intensive care context is challenging because of the complex nature of critical care. Aim: This
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern, causes, and predictors of all new hospitalizations in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results: The nationwide Swedish TAVI registry was merged with other mandatory healthcare registries, which enabled the analysis of all TAVI procedures, new hospital admissions, and death between the year
Hymns to Unknown Heroines part III – Elna, 2015 Slide and sound installationHymns to Unknown Heroines, part III is the latest iteration of a multifaceted work. The starting point was an anonymous photographic archive from the 1920s that depicts a Scottish family over several years. Many of the photographs portray women engaged in recreational activities, portraying an undemanding lifestyle that ca
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om modeller inom partikelfysik, vilka beskriver naturens minsta beståndsdelar. En atom består av en kärna och elektroner. Kärnan består av protoner och neutroner, vilka i sin tur består av kvarkar och gluoner. Dessa partiklar samt hela den flora av andra partiklar som bara går att skapa vid experiment är vad som studeras inom partikelfysiken. DThis thesis considers models for describing high energy particle collisions. Existing phenomonological models are modified and new implementations made in order to achive a better description of states with several hard jets. To predict final state hadrons, parton showers are used together with pheonomenological hadronization models. These models describe a wide range of observables, but have the

The geopolitical competition between the United States and China over artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the defining dynamics of the 21st century. Yet despite a growing body of work on AI innovation, a structured and recent sectoral comparison of the conditions organizing AI development in each country remains underexplored. This thesis addresses that gap by applying Malerba's (200
