For the very first time we present 3D simulations of planets embedded in stellar irradiated discs. It is well known that thermal effects could reverse the direction of planetary migration from inwards to outwards, potentially saving planets in the inner, optically thick parts of the protoplanetary disc. When considering stellar irradiation in addition to viscous friction as a source of heating, th
Unseen Sights: Magic, Modernity, and Childhood in Children’s Urban Fantasy explores and analyses the genre of children’s urban fantasy. Drawing upon a combination of fantasy, urban fantasy, and children’s literature scholarship, the thesis considers how children’s urban fantasy works – investigating both its forms and functions, and how it performs work in the world.The genre is analysed both sync
Few-shot segmentation (FSS) tackles data scarcity using multiple priors, but its simplicity limits handling base and novel classes with limited data access. Generalized few-shot semantic segmentation (GFSS) enhances model performance for base classes with abundant data, while novel classes have limited data access, improving generalization with scarce data. Building on the design of query-based se
Eating disorders are a common psychiatric issue, with women aged 19-24 at the highest risk of becoming ill. Research indicates that one of the primary causes of this illness is media usage, driven by the content of media platforms. Although it has been established through research that media content contributes to young women's critical perception of their body image, the publication of an est
Inom ramen för det svenska forskningsprojektet Taktik och metodik vid brand i undermarksanläggningar har ett enkelt planeringsverktyg utvecklats som bl a erbjuder stöd till beslutsfattare involverade i planeringen av räddningsinsatser i väg- och järnvägstunnlar. Verktyget, som har utvecklats vid Lunds universitet, heter TuFT och är en förkortning av Tunnel Fire Tools. TuFT kan beskrivas som ett myWithin the Swedish research project Rescue tactics and methodology during fires in underground facilities, a simple decision support tool has been developed. The tool can, for example, aid decision makers involved in the early phase of road and rail tunnel fire risk assessments. The tool has been developed at Lund University and has been termed TuFT, which is an abbreviation for Tunnel Fire Tools.
This thesis concerns paragraph 30, 31 and 32 of the Consumer Insurance Act. The Consumer Insurane Act was adopted in 1981. It is applicable to combined insurance policies covering fire, burglery, liability, and certain other risks when the insured party is a consumer. In these cases, the Consumer Insurance Act is applicable to motor vehicle-, yachting- and travelling insurance contracts as well.
Popular Abstract in Swedish I följande arbete har ett dynamiskt modellbibliotek av komponenter utvecklats för processlinjer. Analysen inriktades mot karakteristiska aspekter för processlinjer för flytande livsmedel, och nya modeller utvecklades för byte av fluidum, dispersion, blandfaser och första ordningens kemiska reaktioner i rör och värmeväxlare. Modellernas beräkningseffektivitet och noggran
Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) is generally regarded as one of the first proponents of modern literature in Scandinavia. The present thesis discusses the author’s breakthrough phase which took place around the year 1890. This was an era when societal modernity became established in the Scandinavian countries, and new and revolutionary ideas and norms appeared concerning society, science, and art. Hamsun
The X-linked form of Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by mutation in the COL4A5 gene located at Xq22.3 and encoding the alpha 5-chain of type IV-collagen. More than 400 different mutations have so far been detected in the COL4A5 gene. Not all mutations, however, will be detected using an exon-by-exon mutation detection strategy such as SSCP analysis or direct sequencing. We have previously reported
Bioethanol has received increasing attention as an alternative to petrol due to the current dependency on supplies from other countries and due to the increased concentration of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this thesis, the development of 2nd generation production processes for bioethanol production from the lignocellulosic part of biomass is discussed. The conversion of
War criticism is not just expressed in journalistic and academic writing or in political speeches, but also in literature, such as in novels and short stories. This dissertation analyzes how war criticism is formulated in Swedish fiction written during the First World War (1914–1918). The study combines perspectives from rhetorical, narrative and sociological theory and focuses on how writers resi
Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta komponenter som används i vårt samhälle har genomgått en bearbetningsprocess i något skede i sin tillverkningscykel. På grund av detta spelar de ekonomiska aspekterna av bearbetningsprocessen en viktig roll i tillverkningskostnaden. Det finns flera skäl till att utveckla ett rationellt förhållningssätt till skärande bearbetning, såsom att förbättra skärteknik,Most components in use in our society have undergone a machining process at some stage within its manufacturing cycle. As a result, the economics of the machining process plays an important role in the manufacturing costs. There are several reasons for developing a rational approach to material removal, such as improving cutting techniques, producing products with enhanced precision, and increasin
Background: Persons with clinical onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before 65 years of age are diagnosed with early-onset AD (EOAD). The prevalence of EOAD is low, but varies among studies from 6% to 16%. Most individuals with EOAD are still working, have an active social life, and might have children living at home. Therefore, the consequences of being diagnosed early with a disease that implies
Desalination is an important method and cost effective for producing potable water and is a rapidly growing technology worldwide. According to the International Desalination Association, IDA data base the amount of desalinated water soon will reach the 100 MCM per day, which means double of this amount (200 MCM/day) is called brine discharge or rejected amount. In this study, we planned to follow
Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is generally considered a disease of the macula. However, recent studies show peripheral retinal lesions are prevalent in patients with AMD, indicative of a disease process that is more widespread. Full-field electroretinography (ffERG) measures an electrical response, not only from the macula, but from the entire retina. We wanted to study the ffERG
This paper presents a hysteretic (sliding mode) control IC for a buck DC/DC converter for use as an envelope tracking power supply to increase the efficiency of an RF power amplifier. The IC integrates a high-bandwidth error amplifier, a comparator with hysteresis, and a high-side driver for an external N-channel power MOSFET. The total control loop delay using the implemented IC is 35ns, this is
In order to identify genes associated with primary chemotherapy-resistance, gene expression profiles (GEP) in tumour tissue from 37 patients with de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), stage II-IV, either in continuous complete remission (n = 24) or with progressive disease during primary treatment (n = 13), were examined using spotted 55K oligonucleotide arrays. Immunohistochemistry was u
Sensitivity analysis consists of an integral and important validatory check of a computer simulation model before the code is used in performing any kind of analysis operation. The present paper demonstrates the use of a relatively new method and tool for conducting global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for environmental models, providing simultaneously the first GSA study of the widely used 1d soil-v
Members of the order Haemosporida are protist parasites that infect mammals, reptiles and birds. This group includes the causal agents of malaria, Plasmodium parasites, the genera Leucocytozoon and Fallisia, as well as the species rich genus Haemoproteus with its two subgenera Haemoproteus and Parahaemoproteus. Some species of Haemoproteus cause severe disease in avian hosts, and these parasites d
