This work investigates how the heat produced by a solar dryer can improve the drying process of newly developed breathable membrane bags for drying and thus preserving fruits in developing countries and the increased efficiency of the process. For that purpose, a solar dryer was built and tested in an indoor solar simulator with similar irradiation as the sun. Due to a limited time span, only one
Industry 4.0 can be described as the next generation-factories that is characterised by putting a high demand for automation and flexible production lines. The proposed way to achieve this goal is through a large number of Industrial IoT devices(IIoT) in the factory, some having high availability- and low-latency requirements. This demands for a software that can monitor and manage the application
Thesis Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigate what ideals lead consumers produce through the adoption of subjective positions that they offer to consumers. Thus, the research aims to contribute to existing theoretical knowledge of the production of consumer subjectivities. Methodology: This present study adopts an ontological relativism position, followed by a social constructio
Long waiting periods for asylum seekers is a problem in most European countries and the effort to harmonise the refugee politicy within the union has brought this question to the point. Everyone agrees that the asylum process has to be made more effective, also Sweden. Medical research shows that asylum seekers in Sweden are particularly exposed to mental and physical unhealthiness. My ambition wi
The “Warburg effect”, a metabolic adaptation observed in dividing cells, involves a shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to cytoplasmic glucose metabolism. This metabolic process is characterized by increased cellular uptake of glucose and glutamine, elevated intracellular pH and sodium levels, enhanced protection against oxidative stress, altered autophagy, and increased lactate pro
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) drives many fundamental biogeochemical processes (e.g., carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and soil development) in forest soil. However, the molecular-level characteristics of DOM derived from different types of tropical forest soils are poorly understood. Here, water samples at different soil depths (0, 20, and 40 cm) from tropical legume (Acacia auriculiformis, AA)
X-ray time-resolved tomography is one of the most popular X-raytechniques to probe dynamics in three dimensions (3D). Recent developments in time-resolved tomography opened the possibility of recordingkilohertz-rate 3D movies. However, tomography requires rotating thesample with respect to the X-ray beam, which prevents characterization of faster structural dynamics. Here, we present megahertz (MH
Background: Antibody-mediated complement fixation has previously been associated with protection against malaria in naturally acquired immunity. However, the process of early-life development of complement-fixing antibodies in infants, both in comparison to their respective mothers and to other immune parameters, remains less clear. Results: We measured complement-fixing antibodies in newborns and
Fluorescence sensing plays an increasingly important role in biology and biomedicine. For many practical applications of fluorescent probes, an “off-on” response is preferred. The question of how fluorescence quenching/enhancement occurs is fundamental and of high importance for application and design of new fluorescent probes. The sensing mechanism of an aminorhodamine (TMARh) pH probe is investi
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next generation ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray observatory that will allow for observations in the >10 GeV range with unprecedented photon statistics and sensitivity. This will enable the investigation of the yet-marginally explored physics of short-time-scale transient events. CTA will thus become an invaluable instrument for the study of the phys
In computer-vision feature extraction algorithms, compressing the image into a sparse set of trackable keypoints, empowers navigation-critical systems such as Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) in autonomous robots, and also other applications such as augmented reality and 3D reconstruction. Most of those applications are performed in battery-powered gadgets featuring in common a very st
One of the main challenges as the market for fully commercial electrified vehicles quickly expands is predicting the electromagnetic interference (EMI) in traction voltage systems (TVSs) in differential mode (DM) and common mode (CM). The number of subsystems connected to vehicle TVSs is increasing, and thus, so are the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. These requirements should ma
While maximum standard absolute adjectives (such as straight) typically have a precise meaning (e.g., ‘perfectly straight’), they are also regularly used imprecisely (e.g., to mean ‘straight enough’). The current study investigates how contextual expectations of precision and a visual referent’s conceptual distance from an ideal maximum standard influence the processing effort of precise and impre
The judgment by the Grand Chamber of the Court of in Case C-621/21 Intervyuirasht organ na DAB pri MS case has already attracted significant attention for the finding of the Court that women victims of domesticviolence can be considered as members of particular social group for the purposes of recognition of refugee status. This case note presents the the facts of the case and analyses reasoning o
Wind is a significant geomorphological agent in formerly glaciated areas and aeolian deposits surround and stretch across the Store Mosse (Great Bog) bog complex in southwestern Sweden. Both peat and aeolian sand are underlain by lacustrine sediment and the deposits record the area's transition from an initially ice-dammed lake to Ancient Lake Bolmen, which gradually drained, exposing sediments to
Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has puzzled mankind since the time of ancient Greece. It is a process widespread across a varied range of taxa and it shines especially in birds which, because of their mobility, display an amazing diversity of routes and strategies. With the advances in tracking devices and improvements of sequencing technologies, recent work provides support for
The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a pleiotropic hormone that regulates essential life-history traits and is known for its major contribution to determining individual ageing processes. High levels of IGF-1 have been linked to increased mortality and are hypothesised to cause oxidative stress. This effect has been observed in laboratory animals, but whether it pertains to wild vertebrates
