Purpose This study investigates the drivers and barriers to digitalisation in viticulture, focusing on the Italian wine sector. Although digital transformation is widely recognised as necessary for its potential to bring significant improvements to this industry, the determinants and barriers to this process are still unappreciated by research in the field. Design/methodology/approach Due to the e
Although many efforts have been made to eliminate barriers in public transport worldwide, research shows that public transport is still often perceived as challenging, inconvenient, and inaccessible for many people with disabilities. A growing body of research points to several issues, relating to the spatial and temporal distribution of public transport, affordability, safety, and social barriers
To improve gearset performance, gears can be subjected to surface treatments. One possible surface treatment is TCG, Triboconditioning for Complex Geometries. This paper investigates efficiency and pitting resistance of two types of TCG treatments on powder-sintered gears, compared to an untreated reference. Experimental testing is performed in an FZG gear test rig with an efficiency and a pitting
The Älvkarleby test dam, constructed in Sweden, was designed with several intentionally created defects to serve as a controlled environment for evaluating various monitoring techniques. Among these, a unique three-dimensional (3D) Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) setup was implemented. The ERT survey design, combined with full 3D calculation of the geometric factor and inversion constraine

This contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence. The analysis focuses on the legislature's influence on the SAC and – on the other hand – the SAC and its judges’ impact on the legislature, especially the constitutional control of draft legislation carried out by the Council o
The decline in areal BMD (aBMD) in men may start as early as age 19, but it is debated whether proximal femoral strength follows the same pattern. We measured FN aBMD in a cross-sectional cohort of 1101 men aged 18-28 yr with two-dimensional DXA. Body height, weight, jump height, grip strength, and maximum knee extension torque muscle strength were measured with standard tests, after which BMI was
Steric clashes pose a challenge when exploring dense protein systems using conventional explicit-chain methods. A minimal example is a single lattice protein confined on a minimal grid, with no free sites. Finding its minimum energy is a hard optimization problem, with similarities to scheduling problems. It can be recast as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem amenable to
The rapid uptake of electric vehicles presents both opportunities and challenges for modern power systems. As charging demand increases, intelligent and data-driven approaches are essential to predict and manage future grid impacts. This paper presents a probabilistic and data-driven approach for generating realistic electric vehicle charging profiles, which can be integrated into probabilistic lo
The Million Homes Programme, launched in Sweden during the 1960s, resulted in the construction of over one million homes to address a national housing shortage. A majority of the houses consist of linear block buildings, many of which now require renovation. Moreover, climate change and increasing energy demands have put pressure on the building sector to reduce emissions and improve energy perfor
This thesis explores how Norwegian deep-sea mining (DSM) companies construct legitimacy through sustainability narratives during 2024, a year marked by both the opening and suspension of national seabed exploration. Using Critical Discourse Analysis within a Regulationist Political Ecology framework, the study examines how corporate actors position DSM as essential to the green transition. The ana
I denna studie har 88 körningar i en körsimulator analyserats i syfte att undersöka hur utformningen av en cirkulationsplats påverkar förarens val av ingångshastighet. Aspekterna radiestorlek, antal körfält och mötande trafik var av intresse och justerades i testerna. Syftet var att sedan ställa datan för varje parameter mot varandra och därmed kunna ta fram ett resultat. Simuleringsmiljön byggdIn this examination 88 test-drives in a driving simulator have been analyzed with the purpose to research if the design of a roundabout will affect a driver’s entry speed. The aspects size of the radius, number of lanes and oncoming traffic was of interest and were adjusted within the tests. The purpose was to collect data from every parameter and then compare them to each other to get a result.
A report reviewing the future role of measurements in estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This review provides expert analysis and a review of current and emerging technologies for monitoring GHG emissions in the UK. It answers several research questions set out by DESNZ officials and sets out immediate opportunities, challenges, and recommendations.
Amid the rapid expansion of the global digital economy, the European Union faces a fundamental tension between promoting digital trade liberalisation and safeguarding its regulatory autonomy. This thesis examines how policy space provisions within the EU's new, standalone Digital Trade Agreements (DTAs) with Singapore and South Korea relate to this strategic challenge. Using a legal doctri-nal
