Supersonic combustion is a critical area of research for advancing high-speed flight technologies, particularly for the development of scramjet engines for hypersonic vehicles. This study employs Finite Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulation (LES) together with different experimental techniques to study the supersonic flow and thermochemical processes in the Small Scale Flight Experiment (SSFE
Lund Municipality has a citizen center where municipal guides serve as a vital link between residents and the various departments within the municipality. This thesis explores the detailed domain of impression management within the context of municipal guidance interactions in Lund Municipality. The aim was to examine the patterns of impression management that occur in the interaction between muni
The global land grab is fuelling a concentration of land in the hands of a few and (further) embeds land into the logic of capital. In the context of industrialised agriculture, it remains understudied who the different actors vying for control of land are and how farmers respond to these pressures. Hence, this thesis aims to study how land grabbing manifests in East Germany where large farms domi
Instagram as a platform of content created by its users presents a plethora of possibilities regarding cooking in all its forms. Vegetarian cooking in particular is a reoccurring aspect of this particular body of content on Instagram. Japan as a food culture has garnered a certain infamy among non-native vegetarian tourists for being unaccommodating for their food preferences. As such, how the cou
This thesis addresses infections in prostate biopsy – a global problem. Over 3 million prostate biopsies are performed annually and 3% of men suffer a severe infection. The risk of infection is increasing in parallel with rising antibiotic resistance. By combining clinical knowledge with technical development, this thesis aims to address the risk of infection in a novel way – by redesigning the me
• AimsThis research investigates how different ways of referring to anthropogenic climate change produce different sensory and affective perceptions of nature in an urban destination, and how such perceptions sustain or resist the branding strategy of such place. In doing so, it aims at showing that strategic climate communication works not only rhetorically at the level of representation, but als
The Multipole Injection Kicker (MIK) installed in the 3 GeV ring of MAX IV, is a success story in the use of a non-linear field device ensuring an almost transparent injection into the first ever built fourth-generation storage ring. Reducing the transient stored beam perturbations during top-up injections is particularly relevant for such machines operating at emittances in the regime of few hund
Studies scrutinizing the significance of religion for populism are still scarce, but one metaphor has been adopted across almost all of them—the metaphor of the hijacked faith. This chapter sketches the nexus between metaphor and method in the study of populism, before it introduces the contributions to this compilation. Ulrich Schmiedel suggest that there are structural similarities between popul
The first measurement of the multiplicity dependence of intra-jet properties of leading charged-particle jets in proton–proton (pp) collisions is reported. The mean charged-particle multiplicity and jet fragmentation distributions are measured in minimum-bias and high-multiplicity pp collisions at center-of-mass energy s = 13 TeV using the ALICE detector. Jets are reconstructed from charged partic
With the prevalence of obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and can cause a series of serious complications. The pathogenesis of MASLD is complex, characterized by oxidative stress, impaired mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism, and cellular inflammation. Mitochondrial biology and function are ce
Local democracy is theoretically based on political parties offering different policies across and within sub-national geographical units. However, local democracy is embedded within a multilevel party and institutional structure that may compromise this endeavour. This study develops three expectations of policy variation: within party variation in political positions across geographical units; d
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition observed across various medical specialties, including gastroenterology, otorhinolaryngology, surgery and primary care. Despite the routine prescription of proton pump inhibitors, some patients fail to experience adequate symptom relief. This review delves into the multifactorial mechanisms of reflux, which extend beyond hydrochloric
The semi-natural grasslands of the Aso Caldera, Japan, have historically played a key role in maintaining biodiversity, tourism, and water resources. However, they are now in decline due to a decrease in the number of agricultural workers and an aging workforce, as well as structural changes and stagnation in the agricultural and livestock industries. This study focused on the water resource maint
Smart city control rooms are prominent components of the smart city discourse. They embody a long- standing dream to visualize and manage multiple urban processes in real time through the collation of data flows. Previous research has produced important insights into the design, construction and operation of these facilities. However, this research has largely overlooked the fundamental changes t
RegVis är en plattform som visualiserar nyckelvariabler inom regional utveckling och hur dessa förändras över tid och rum och hur de påverkar varandra. Genom kartor och grafer visualiseras sju variabler. Du kan välja att få en översiktlig bild av respektive variabel, eller fördjupa dig och jämföra variabler, geografiska områden etc med varandra.RegVis is a platform that visualizes key variables in regional development and how they change over time and space, as well as how they influence one another. Through maps and graphs, seven variables are displayed. You can choose to get an overview of each variable, or delve deeper and compare variables, geographic areas, etc. with one another.
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing process based on Material Extrusion (MEX) of polymeric filament. This manufacturing technology is commonly used for personalized production applications and prototyping, allowing to obtain customized parts with complex geometries at a low cost. However, this production technique has its limitations regarding dimensional accuracy and sur
