Popular Abstract in Swedish None.This thesis presents numerical investigations and simulations of fixed bed combustion of wood, models for predicting thermal radiative properties of particles and gases related to the combustion of wood, and a review of heat load calculations in gas turbines. All subjects have a common factor in thermal radiation. One 2D and one 3D model were considered for the fixed bed combustion. The introducto
Objective: The formation of glucose degradation products (GDPs) during sterilization of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) is one of the most important aspects of biocompatibility of glucose-containing PDFs. Producers of PDFs are thus trying to minimize the level of GDPs in their products. 3,4-Dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE) has been identified as the most bioreactive GDP in PDFs. It exists in a t
Ingen tidigare forskning inom politiska marknadsföring har använt sig av Cialdinis sex principer för påverkan. Den föreliggande studiens syfte var således att undersöka två av Cialdinis principer för påverkan och dess effektivitet inom politisk marknadsföring. Vidare var syftet att se vilka faktorer som avgjorde om deltagarna blev påverkade eller inte av två olika politiska texter. FrågeställningaWithin the field of political marketing there has not been any research that combined Cialdini’s six principles of influence with political marketing. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate two of Cialdini’s six principles of influence and its effectiveness within political marketing. Furthermore, the aim was to investigate which factor determined if the participants became convinced or
I denna avhandling har syftet varit att undersöka den vidgning av våldtäktsbegreppet som skedde i 1962-års brottsbalk. För att kunna förstå varför denna utvidgning skedde har jag valt att inleda arbetet med en rättshistorisk genomgång som sträcker sig från 1200-talet fram till 1900-talet. Efter denna redogörelse för hur synen på våldtäktsbrottet samt synen på inomäktenskaplig våldtäkt förändrats uThe purpose of this study has been to investigate how marital rape was criminalised in Sweden in 1962. In order to fully comprehend the reasons behind this criminalisation I’ve chosen to begin with a chapter on legal history. This historical review of the attitude toward not only rape as a crime but also marital rape, starts in the 13th century and continues until the 1960’s. Next chapter focuses
A visit of an art exhibition can lead to feelings of frustration, exclusion, and not-being welcomed.Above all exhibitions of contemporary and modern art can due to the often conceptuel and abstract caracter of the artworks experienced as exclusive.As many researches has shown a museum visit become meaningful to us if a relation to what is seen can generates.Not just the consumption of cultural sup
Post-Partum Depression, PPD, is a condition where emerging parents experience depressive symptoms. PPD is expressed through mood swings, anxiety, tiredness and an unwanted desire to harm one’s offspring. PPD may have a harmful effect on the psychological and cognitive development of children whose parents are affected. In Sweden, public childcare centres are responsible for detecting symptoms for
Den 11 mars 2020 klassificerades spridningen av Covid-19 som en pandemi av världshälsoorganisationen. Sedan dess har över 280 miljoner människor smittats och 5,4 miljoner människor avlidit. Utvecklingen av pandemin har inneburit att diskussionen avseende mänskliga rättigheter och patentskydd återupptagits. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera huruvida det föreligger en adekvat balans mellan patOn March 11, 2020, the spread of Covid-19 was classified as pandemic by the World Health Organization. Throughout the pandemic more than 280 million cases have been confirmed and more than 5.4 million people have lost their lives. The pandemic has led to an increased attention to the relation between human rights and patent protection. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether there is a
In this study a module for calculating the solar exposure of individual fluid cells was developed to more accurately represent the effect of photolysis on the pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon. The module was tested and validated on 12 different cases, each with a different geographical location, time of year and/or time of day. It was used for four parallel simulations performed on a
Hydrogen bonding based self-assembly is prevalent throughout nature dictating the folding of proteins and DNA. Hydrogen bonding has been utilized for self-assembly of small monomers into aggregates of varying size and shape. Potential applications of these aggregates could be creation of ion channels, formation of inclusion complex for delivery of drugs or capture of hazardous material in water su
A fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics is that the Hamiltonian of a closed system is Hermitian, guaranteeing real-valued energies and conserved probabilities throughout the evolution of the system. However, for quantum systems where there is dissipation and crosstalk with the environment, such as a system of quantum dots connected to an environment of metallic leads, the dynamics of the syst
Due to extensive wildfires in Sweden during the years reaching from 2014 to 2019 Swedish authorities conducted an investigation examining the municipal rescue service’s ability to lead and conduct complex and cross-border operations and found them lacking. This resulted in extended demands on cross-border collaborations and continuous overall management. To meet the new demands municipal rescues s
The late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century was a turbulent time for the monarchies of Europe, the Swedish included. Since Gustav III’s coup in 1772, the king strove to enhance the royal prerogative. Ceremonies were crucial in the monarchy’s language of power and establishment of legitimacy but oppositional forces within the nobility nevertheless provoked the regicide of Gustav III in 179
Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d
Moatize district located in Tete province in the center of Mozambique has one of the largest unexploited coal deposits of the world with a capacity of 2.5 billions of tones. Recently many multinational coal mine companies started exploitation of coal in Moatize. Coal exploitation has economical, social and environmental impacts. The main environmental impact is generation of acid mine drainage (AM
Background: Whole-body bone scintigraphy is a clinically useful non-invasive and highly sensitive imaging method enabling detection of metabolic changes at an early stage of disease, often earlier than with conventional radiologic procedures. Bone scintigraphy is one of the most common nuclear medicine methods used worldwide. Therefore, it is important that the examination is implemented and perfo
The production of Z bosons with one or two isolated high-energy photons is studied using pp collisions at s=8 TeV. The analyses use a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2012 LHC data taking. The Zγ and Zγγ production cross sections are measured with leptonic (e+e-, μ+μ-, νν) decays of the Z boson, in extended fiducial regions defined i

Males should invest in mate attraction, mate guarding and paternal care in relation to the marginal fitness value of each of those behaviours. Since time and energy are limited, trade-offs between these activities are expected. This study demonstrates that monogamous male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) decrease their paternal effort in response to increased opportunities to attract addition
Graffiti är en mycket gammal konstart som länge associerats med kriminalitet men som på senare tid kommit att erkännas som en etablerad konstart. Graffitikonstverk blir dock ofta föremål för ändring eller förstörelse och har därför ansetts vara av naturen förgängliga verk. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur graffitikonstnärens respekträtt står sig i förhållande till ingrepp från andraGraffiti is a very old art form that, for a long period of time, has been associated with criminality. Nevertheless, graffiti has nowadays come to be recognized as an art form. Graffiti artworks do, however, often become subject to distortion, mutilation or other modifications and are understood to be, by nature, perishable pieces of art. The purpose of this essay is to examine to what extent th
