Conventional separation processes such as evaporators and separators often compete directly with membrane processes, i.e. microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO). The aim of this lecture is to highlight the potentials of combining membrane processes and conventional separation processes by the means of process synergies. In the first part of the le
Using detailed Swedish matched employer–employee data, I show evidence of within-firm job polarization. Applying a decomposition framework, I find that both within-firm and between-firm components are important for overall job polarization. Results also indicate that the degree of routineness is the most important explanation for the observed within-firm pattern. Bringing the analysis down to the
Final value accrues to objects that are good for their own sakes, while instrumental value accrues to objects that are good for the sake of their effects. The following paper aims to show that this distinction cuts across some surprising areas of the evaluative domain. This means that there may be some unexpected types of value that can come in a final or instrumental form. The argument proceeds b
Kenya’s population is rapidly growing and urbanising. Poverty and problems of food insecurity are equally urbanising at an unprecedented rate. Formal employment has not kept pace with the job demand of the growing population. As a result, urban residents seek employment (livelihood) from an array of informal economic activities, including own food production. The growing urban population and urban
Clean technology has become a key feature due to increasing environmental concerns. Swirling flows, being directly associated with combustion performance and hence minimized pollutant formation, are encountered in most propulsion and power-generation combustion devices. In this study, the development process of the conceptual swirl burner developed at the Swedish National Centre for Combustion and
Here, we present the first two Swedish cases of Conserved Oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 6-congenital disorders of glycosylation (COG6-CDG). Their clinical symptoms include intellectual disability, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), delayed brain myelinization, progressive microcephaly, joint laxity, hyperkeratosis, frequent infections, and enamel hypoplasia. In one family, compoun
Questions of authority are perennial. Authority has been and still is a key topic in many studies of history, society, literature, and religion, just as it is a key issue in contemporary societies. In spite of the scholarly attention, authority continues to have an elusive quality.Reframing Authority provides new perspectives by focusing on the role of materiality and media for questions of author
In this perspective article, we call for more engagement with the unexplored politics of residual emissions. Residual emissions are those emissions that remain at the point of net zero, despite abatement efforts. Unlike carbon dioxide removal, which has been the focus of a lively research and policy debate, the notion of residual emissions remains relatively unexplored so far. With the mainstreami
While emigration and population displacements have long been a feature of Iraqi history, this article argues that the 2003 Anglo-American intervention in Iraq and its legacy has contributed to the gradual disappearance of many non-Muslim Iraqi minorities from Iraq. Though the legacy of 2003 can be attributed to a confluence of domestic and geopolitical factors, it is argued here that the 2003 inte
Purpose: To assess the growth plates of the knee in a healthy population of young adults and adolescents using DTI, and to correlate the findings with chronological age and skeletal maturation. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study to assess the tibial and femoral growth plates with DTI in 155 healthy volunteers aged between 14.0 and 21 years old. Echo-planar DTI with 15 directions and b v
Knowledge of DNA - lipid layer interactions is key for the development of biosensors, synthetic nanopores, scaffolds, and gene-delivery systems. These interactions are strongly affected by the ionic composition of the solvent. We have combined quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and ellipsometry measurements to reveal how pH, buffers and alkali metal chloride salts affect the interaction of DNA with
In recent years, many academics as well as local actors have started to question the feasibility of a two-state solution for Israeland Palestine. Increased Israeli unilateralism, expansionism as well as weak Palestinian institutions has instead pointed toward a‘one-state-reality’ where Israel is in de facto control over all lands. This in turn reveals a paradox, where internationalpolicymakers, mo
This article focuses on the quest for digitalisation in peace mediation and to the extent to which digital disruption is reshaping its practices. While digitalisation in the wider field of diplomacy has seen dramatic changes in its practices, peace mediation is a ‘latecomer’. The article explores the constitutive effects on specific norms and practices of peace mediation and identifies opportuniti
We consider planar Coulomb systems consisting of a large number nn of repelling point charges in the low temperature regime, where the inverse temperature β grows at least logarithmically in n as n→∞, i.e., β≳logn.Under suitable conditions on an external potential, we prove results to the effect that the gas is with high probability uniformly separated and equidistributed with respect to the corr
Normal science is a characterization of science in our epoch and a demarcation of what “scientific” means. It divides science in disciplined/normed paradigms. Mathematical epidemiology is the paradigm that regulates the activity of mathematicians with respect to the study of epidemics. It also represents the interest (multiple meanings implied) of the community that guards it. In contrast, a real
