This Work is about the fortifications and more specific the gates to cities during the Middle Ages and the renaissance period and how they were designed to project a specific symbol of power. The city gates of Landskrona, Helsingör, Lübeck, and Kristianstad stand as architectural emblems of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, each bearing unique symbolic significance within their respective urban lan
With urbanization people are traveling and settling closer and closer to bigger cities, where all the economical, social and work opportunities are the most. But where are these people coming from? Rural areas in Europe cover around 80% of the land area together, but only 30% of EU’s population lives in rural areas. Mainly people settling in cities are from smaller settlements leaving their orig
It has during a long period been discussions whether Sweden should investigate the system regarding the rules on capital gains tax relief on home sales. The Commission has criticised Sweden regarding these rules for example because they do not enclose all legal forms of ownership. Sweden differs from the rest of the countries in the EEA as we use the legal form of appartments called ''bost
2 Abstract The paper focuses on evaluating the most performant Value-at-Risk models from the perspective of financial institutions. A number of 18 VaR methodologies were used for this purpose, comprising of parametric and non-parametric methods, some of which include time-varying volatilities estimated by means of GARCH and asymmetric GARCH models. All methods were applied on real P/L data extract
In the following paper have we examined the possibilities to use building information models (BIM) to simplify the process of environmental certification for buildings. We have primarily looked at the two classification systems GreenBuilding and Miljöbyggnad. We have analysed the points in the classification systems to which of them could have a possible connection to BIM. Thereafter different pro
In this work we investigate the interplay between flow and boundary condition effects on the orientation field of a thermotropic nematic liquid crystal under flow and confinement in a microfluidic device. Two types of experiments were performed using synchrotron small-angle X-ray-scattering (SAXS). In the first, a nematic liquid crystal flows through a square-channel cross section at varying flow
Abstract Background: Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) can have various causes and may be a significant disability for the affected patient. Treatment options include surgery and speech therapy, but the success rates are often inconsistent. Methods: In this study, self-assessment questionnaires were sent out to 222 Swedish patients with VPD. The questionnaire included questions about satisfaction w
The adsorption of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDCA) molecules on the Ag(110), Cu(110), and Ag(111) surfaces at room temperature has been studied by means of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Further supporting results were obtained using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). On the Ag(110) support, which had an average terrace width of only
The media plays a significant role in providing information on an array of different matters and forming public opinion. Technological advancements have provided the public with newsoutlets at all hours of the day by simply picking up a smartphone from your pocket. This means that understanding how media presents issues to consumers is central in comprehending how present day society works. Indivi
Fitting a model to a time-dependent ensemble average is a process repeated frequently throughout biophysics. A selected ensemble-averaged observable (⟨y(t)⟩) for a given system can be predicted through the use of an estimated ensemble average, where the estimated ensemble average is created via simulated or experimental data sets. Fitting a model to this estimated ensemble average allows for estim
The modern society is facing various challenges in order to tackle the constantly growing threats of climate change and global warming. The areas in which great readjustments are necessary are many, and even though some appear more critical than others, a holistic approach to this global issue is important. One of these areas consists of our consumption of resources and materials. Addressing this
Drought is one of the most costly disasters worldwide. The complexity of nonlinear relationships between drought variables and drought severity during drought events poses significant challenges for accurate drought monitoring and prediction. Drought research in Morocco has been dominated by linear and conventional statistical methods, such as the pearson correlation. Although some earlier researc
A search is performed for top-quark pairs (t (t) over bar) produced together with a photon (gamma) with transverse energy greater than 20 GeV using a sample of t (t) over bar candidate events in final states with jets, missing transverse momentum, and one isolated electron or muon. The data set used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.59 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-m
Background Trauma and its complications contribute to morbidity and mortality in the general population. Trauma victims are susceptible to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) are activated after trauma and there is substantial evidence of their involvement in the development of ARDS. Activated PMNs release heparin-binding protein (HBP), a gran
Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, which take place at particle accelerators like the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are known to produce a strongly-interacting, fluid-like state of matter referred to as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Despite the medium’s short lifetime of approximately 10-23 s, its presence is known to influence particle p
Both high-mountain rivers and wet-based mountain glaciers are considered effective erosion agents. They acted alternatively or simultaneously during the late Quaternary in the Tatra Mountains (West Carpathians) thus producing a vast amount of clastic material that was subject to deposition, reworking and transportation downstream. A small fraction of that amount of the material is still preserved
The aim of this thesis was to look closer into the shelf arrangement and user behavior in a fiction collection with the municipal library in Lund as an example. The purpose was to investigate to what extent the shelf arrangement in this library is adapted to the behavior of users when it comes to searching for and choosing fiction. The study is mainly focused on the division between Hc- and Hce-cl
Silene diclinis is a dioecious perennial herb, restricted to a small area of the SE Spanish province of Valencia. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and morphometric analysis were carried out on cultivated material derived from seed collected from the main population of S. diclinis at Játiva. Only two out of 26 inferred enzyme loci showed substantial variation. There was some indication of populat
The major inhibitor of the cysteine class of proteinases found in human body fluids, such as spinal fluid, milk, and seminal plasma, is cystatin C. In this study we show that human bronchoalveolar fluid also contains cystatin C and examine cystatin C expression by alveolar macrophages in vitro. Immunoprecipitation of extracts of metabolically labeled cells and immunoblotting of cellular extracts a
One-stage method of polysulfone (PSf) membrane modification by the addition of polyacrylic acid (PAA, Mn = 250 kg·mol−1) to the coagulation bath during membrane preparation via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) was proposed. The effect of PAA concentration on the membrane structure, hydrophilicity, zeta potential, separation performance and antifouling stability in ultrafiltration of lys
