This article studies the fast fossil fuel transition in the context of steam adoption in the Czech lands. I show how geographical proximity to coal brought forward the early industrialization of the Czech lands. The region’s fast transition to modern fuels fundamentally transformed the industrial landscape and laid foundations for the development of new industries. Coal, steam and sugar became the
Play has proved to have a central role in children's development, most notably in rule learning (Piaget, 1965; Sutton-Smith, 1979) and negotiation of roles and goals (Garvey, 1974; Bruner et al., 1976). Yet very little research has been done on early play. The present study focuses on early social games, i.e., vocal-kinetic play routines that mothers use to interact with infants from very early on
With the increasing requirements of compressed gas energy storage systems for compressors and expanders, sliding vane rotary compressors are worth trying. To study the influence of different configurations of discharge ports on the performance of compressors, numerical simulations are conducted on the innovative sliding vane compressors with a rotating cylinder. The reliable Renormalization Group
Support for Machine Learning (ML) applications in networking has significantly improved over the last decade. The availability of public datasets and programmable switching fabrics (including low-level languages to program them) presents a full-stack to the programmer for deploying in-network ML. However, the diversity of tools involved, coupled with complex optimization tasks of ML model design a
Background: The spatial peaks QRS-T (SPQRS-T) angle differentiates hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients from controls. Increased angle confers arrhythmia risk in other populations. Hypothesis: We predict that the SPQRS-T angle will identify HCM patients with sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and those with New York Heart Association class III/IV heart failure. Methods: Corrected QT int
The part-load behaviour of combined cycle power plants (CCPP) equipped with post-combustion CO2 capture is analyzed. Different CCPP configurations are compared, including single-, dual- or triple-pressure level steam generators. The gas turbine is a single shaft unit using the variable guide vanes and fuel flow to control the load. The 90% CO2 capture is achieved using monoethanolamine (MEA 30%wt)
Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif
Under processen före och efter antagandet av Digital Markets Act (DMA) har det uppstått diskussioner om förordningens förhållande till förbudet mot missbruk av dominerande ställning i artikel 102 FEUF. Ett orosmoln är tillämpligheten av principen om ne bis in idem. DMA ska tillämpas utan att det påverkar tillämpningen av artikel 102 FEUF, vilket innebär att ett företag kan omfattas av skyldigheterDuring and after the adoption of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), concerns have been raised regarding the regulation’s relationship with the prohibition on abuse of dominant position in Article 102 TFEU. One possible concern regards the principle of ne bis in idem. The DMA is to be applied without prejudice to Article 102 TFEU. It is thus possible for an undertaking to be subject to obligations impo
Growing population in Swedish cities and limited natural resources combined with climate change impacts led decision-makers to develop densification strategies in city planning. However, densification could come with several challenges including reduced green spaces, increased urban heat island effect and energy demand, as well as the lack of thermal comfort in buildings. Densification becomes eve
This study’s purpose was to examine how 3 female managers subjectively thought about and related to femininity in relation to their leadership role. The emphasis was put on how the respondent viewed perceptions about leadership as a socially constructed concept, upon gender norms and a traditionally masculine leadership stereotype, and if, and how, they themselves consider this to have affected th
Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär nya möjligheter för informationssamhället, men möjliggör även nya kränkningar av den personliga och sexuella integriteten. En samtida utveckling som är ett särskilt tryckande hot mot integriteten är möjligheten att skapa pornografiska deepfakes, AI-genererat pornografiskt material som avbildar en enskild person. Detta arbete utreder i vilken utsträckning den enskiWith technological advancements come new possibilities for the digital age, but also the risk of a new kind of violations of personal and sexual integrity. A recent development that constitutes an especially pressing threat to the integrity of individual persons is the ability to create pornographic deepfakes, AI-generated pornographic material of an individual person. This essay examines to what
The aim of this study is to investigate how John Marsden’s Tomorrow, when the war began (1993) could be used for reading-between-the-lines practice in the English language classroom. It answers questions relating to how reading between the lines can be understood in relation to Grice’s cooperative principle, the effects of implicature in the text and how teachers can use this information to facili
The serving profession is not only about the technical competence to serve and take orders. It also requires social skills to deal with other people on a daily basis. The profession is characterized by frequent amounts of social interaction and workers are sometimes expected to regulate their personas during interaction with customers. The purpose of this study is to gain an insight of the roles t
Both Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness and Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now are regarded as outstanding works in their respective field of art. Their reputation rests partly on their artistic value and partly on their preoccupation with topics which were highly relevant at the time of their publication/release. They are for the most part regarded as independent works of a
