The Galactic center and inner disk of the Milky Way contain complex stellar populations obscured by heavy dust extinction. To study their chemical composition, high-resolution near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopy is necessary. Expanding the set of elements measurable in the near-IR, especially neutron-capture elements, improves our ability to trace nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution.

Sammanfattning För ganska exakt ett år sedan, den 25 maj 2018, började dataskyddsförordningen, Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2016/679 av den 27 april 2016, om skydd för fysiska personer med avseende på behandling av personuppgifter och om det fria flödet av sådana uppgifter och om upphävande av direktiv 95/46/EG (allmän dataskyddsförordning), allmänt känd som GDPR efter engelskansAbstract Approximately one year ago, on May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), known as the GDPR, appl

Provision of freshwater to urban residents remains a significant global challenge. A challenge whose impendent success in many regions is further threatened by climate change and urbanization projections, subsequently increasing the pressure on urban water supply. Employing an intersectional lens, this case study explores household implications of and responses to water shortage in Gaborone, the c

The increasing awareness of resource depletion has led to a growing interest in adapting a more efficient use of resources within multiple sectors to support a more sustainable development. One sector that uses large amounts of resources, with the high use of consumables, is the healthcare sector. The purpose of this study is to perform a life cycle assessment of three possible alternatives of ce

This report presents how a theoretical model of an oil-fired boiler is built. This model is built in one dimension and includes heat transfer due to convection and gas radiation from gas to a surface, conduction through a metal and convection from a surface to a liquid. The model is used to analyse how different oil fuels, both fossil and bio-based oils, affects the plant. With the assumptions and

Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI

Studien undersöker vilka metoder gymnasielärare kan använda i ensemble för att inte återskapa traditionella könsmönster samt hur gymnasielärare upplever att kön kan påverka elever i ensemble. Syftet med studien är att få mer kunskap och metoder kring genus och jämställdhetspedagogik samt att utforska vilka utmaningar ensemblelärare kan uppleva i samband med genus och jämställdhetsarbete och varförThe present study examines teaching methods used by music teachers in ensemble so as not to reproduce traditional gender patterns, as well as how gender might affect students in ensemble. The purpose of this study is to acquire a deeper knowledge and methods in gender equality pedagogy and to explore which challenges ensemble teachers can experience, in relation to gender equality pedagogy. A furt

We have constructed a novel neural network architecture called CWE-LSTM (concatenated word-emoji bidirectional long short-term memory) for classify- ing emotions in Twitter conversations. The architecture is based on a combina- tion of word and emoji embeddings with domain specificity in Twitter data. Its performance is compared to a current state of the art natural language process- ing model fro

The choice of light source is important for eco-efficient lighting. To assess the echoeffectiveness, it is essential to clarify how much and what kind of light you need, for each specific situation. To analyze this it is crucial to understand the need for different wavelengths. The Plasma lamp has a continuous spectrum and gives a relatively high proportion of photons with high energy. In many cri

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Platåleror utgör ett markant inslag i det inre backlandskapet söder om Romeleåsen i Skåne. De är kvadratkilometer stora, cirkulära lerområden, med en svagt undulerande yta som täcker landskapets högsta kullformer. Runt platålerorna ligger oftast s k kantryggar som huvudsakligen består av grus och sand. I snart hundra år har bildningsmiljön för platålerorna och kPlateau-clays are significant features in the hummocky moraine area south of Romeleåsen ridge, Skåne, southern Sweden. The plateau clays are smoothly undulating circular areas of glaciolacustrine clay, which drape the highest hummocks in the landscape. Rim ridges often surround the plateau-clays. During the last hundred years the formation of these plateau clays has been studied and discussed. In

Genom att studera några av Sveriges just nu största intresseorganisationer och forskarnätverk för främjande av samhällsentreprenörskap, vill författarna skapa en nulägesanalys av området i Sverige - samt utmaningar att beakta för områdets framtida utveckling. Då uppsatsen har ett beskrivande syfte kring ett ämne som till vissa delar är outforskat i en svensk kontext, har en kombination av deskripThrough the study of some of Sweden´s at present largest associations and networks for the support of social entrepreneurship, the authors seek to establish a situation analysis over the Swedish field – as well as challenges to be considered for the future development of the field. While this paper aims at a descriptive purpose on a partly unexplored topic in a Swedish context, a combination of a

The endemic mesosaurid reptiles of the Whitehill-Irati sea in southern Africa and South America during the Permian were studied with preference for the Namibian material. To date three valid mesosaurid species have been described of which two occur on both continents. These mesosaurid aquatic reptiles were among the first evidence used to support the theory of continental drift at the beginning of

A recurring theme in debates on European Union politics is the lack of enthusiasm and involvement of European citizens in the decision-making and legislative procedures, which may appear complex and impermeable. While some scholars deny the existence of a democratic deficit, others fear that continued failure to bridge the gap between the political elite and the constituents will lead to an ever-d

Aims To explore the prevalence and incidence of paediatric implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients in Sweden and identify risk factors associated with appropriate shocks and adverse events. Methods and results We performed a nationwide, retrospective cohort study of ICD use in paediatric patients (<19 years) between 1995 and 2017; 120 patients underwent ICD implantation at median age

Decarbonising the built environment is essential to mitigating the climate crisis, as buildings significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Adaptive reuse presents a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. This study evaluated the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of an adapted building through renovation and operation across three scenarios, compared to a reference scen

Digital trace data can be used to capture organizational practices in granular detail and enable the automation of a wide range of managerial tasks. One example is Digital Productivity Assistants (DPA) that harness digital trace data about knowledge workers’ performance and make targeted suggestions for how to improve and optimize their work patterns. Previous research shows that despite benevolen

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum (NCA) variants, are widely recognized as essential for applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and portable electronics. The superior energy density, extended lifespan, and thermal stability of NCA batteries make them a preferred choice for demanding applications, including electric marine propulsion. In th
