Recent global warming trends, particularly in the arctic regions and Himalayas are modifying forest structure and function, notably biogeographical changes in tree species distribution together with alteration in Net Primary Production (NPP), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Carbon biomass. These alterations are most pronounced in mountain environments, carrying significant impacts on woody species which

Testing of control code written in IEC 61131-3 has long been a strenuous manual process. The focus in this master's thesis is on building a simulator of an Alfa Laval separator to enable testing of control code. In this particular case, the control code being tested is written and executed in a soft PLC called TwinCAT. The simulator for testing code is written in C#. When testing code, automat
The efficiency of retail organizations has been improved with the help of internet technology, using big data, cloud computing, and other technologies to upgrade the supply chain, marketing, and logistics of goods and other models. Among these areas, intelligent logistics has played a significant role in the development of retail organizations. This article studies the benefits and challenges of t
Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world and fast fashion is the unsustainable practice that most consumers are following. Adopting the habit of purchasing secondhand goods can lead to a more sustainable life. However, some people still do not prefer to consume secondhand clothes because of various stigma and barriers attached to it. In order to eliminate the stigma an
This thesis explores the Brazilian State logic of criminalization or legitimization of violence through two important cases: the 1992 Carandiru massacre, in which 111 inmates were assassinated by the military police, and the 2013-2014 Black Bloc demonstrations in which 23 activists were criminalized. Aiming to challenge entrenched ideas about violence, the research investigates who benefits from t
The effects of mechanical load on optical properties of Y2SiO5 / Eu:Y2SiO5 crystals are investigated through application of first principles calculations. The crystals are first relaxed to reach equilibrium ground state using plane wave density functional theory (DFT). Once application of load on desired direction is performed the optical absorption profile of aforementioned crystals are plotted w
This paper critically scrutinizes the key success factors and tools described in the partnering literature by exploring how they are implemented in a public–private partnering collaboration. In addition to this the paper investigates to what extent these tools facilitate the relationship between the parties in a partnering process. The empirical data consist of two longitudinal case studies. Both
The overall aim of this thesis is to develop knowledge of teaching and learning sustainable development in global–local contexts. The research field is global learning for sustainable development (GLSD). Phenomenographic approach and contextual analysis were used as methods of analysis, and data was collected by Semi-structured interviews at secondary and upper secondary schools in Sweden.In Study
Background: Keeping the umbilical cord intact the first minutes after delivery is beneficial for both term and preterm infants. However, this may be challenging in caesarean sections (CS) due to lack of mobile resuscitation equipment, maintenance of sterility or concern for excessive maternal blood loss. The objective of this study was to develop and pilot-test extra-uterine placental transfusion
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents complex challenges due to its multifactorial nature, poorly understood etiology, and late detection. The mechanisms through which genetic and modifiable risk factors influence disease susceptibility are under intense investigation, with APOE being the major genetic risk factor for late onset AD. Yet the impact of unique risk factors on brain networks is difficult
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are structures that neutrophils form in response to various stimuli, including invading pathogens. NETs are increasingly studied, and their importance has been demonstrated in autoimmunity and infection. However, no consensus has emerged on their quantification, with many studies resorting to manually counting NETs in microscopy images. NETQUANT is a free soft
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Identifying the haemodynamic mechanism of autonomic syncope is the essential pre-requisite for effective and personalized therapy aimed at preventing recurrences. The present study assessed the diagnostic efficacy of a two-step assessment.METHODS: Multicentre prospective, cross-sectional, observational study. Patients affected by severe autonomic syncope underwent a two-step a
Purpose: Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that potentially may be associated with other cerebral neurodegenerative processes leading to dementia. However, prior studies have been inconsistent. We examined dementia risks after glaucoma diagnosis in a large population-based cohort. Design: National matched cohort study. Participants: A total of 324 730 persons diagnosed with g
Introduction: Surgeons can reduce incisional hernia formation by adhering to standardized techniques for incisional wound closure. This is often neglected by the time a long operation is to be ended and can lead to the risk of developing an incisional hernia or a wound rupture. To address this issue, a suturing machine (Suture-TOOL) was developed for swift and standardized abdominal closure. The a
