Abstract The ozone (O3) decomposition in the pre-heat zone of flames can initiate and accelerate the chain-branching reactions. In the present study, formaldehyde (CH2O) was investigated by both experiment and simulation methods in methane/air laminar premixed flames under atmospheric conditions. The formaldehyde concentration profiles in the flames were measured with CH2O-PLIF. When 4500 ppm of o
Popular Abstract in English This thesis is about industrialised house-building, put in a strategic perspective. Industrialised house-building is in the thesis described as a process- and product-oriented concept that can serve as an alternative to traditional project-oriented house-building methods and principles. It is seen as an integrated, multi-disciplinary concept that requires an establishedIndustrialised house-building has received increasing attention within both the construction industry and the scientific community during the last 15 years. However, industrialisation of house-building is not a new phenomenon, it has been applied to various extents throughout modern history, although the understanding and descriptions of it have developed over time. Scientifically, industrialised
Background: The presence of echolucent carotid plaques as defined by low ultrasound grey-scale median (GSM) is associated with a higher risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. Betablockers have shown possible anti-atherosclerotic effects. The aim of the present study was to determine if there is an association between carotid plaque GSM and treatment with betablockers. Methods: The GSM of the ca
Injury to the brain (e.g., stroke) results in a disruption of neuronal connectivity and loss of fundamental sensori-motor functions. The subsequent recovery of certain functions involves structural rearrangements in areas adjacent to the infarct. This remodeling of the injured brain requires trafficking of macromolecular components including cholesterol and phospholipids, a transport carried out b
OBJECTIVE: To study the association of physician's sex with blood pressure, lipid control, and cardiovascular risk factors in treated hypertensive men and women, stratified for the sex of their physician. METHODS: In a cross-sectional survey of hypertensive patients, 264 primary care physicians (PCPs), 187 men and 77 women from across Sweden, recruited 6537 treated hypertensive patients (48% men)
This paper presents class-D CMOS oscillators capable of an excellent phase noise performance from a very low power supply voltage. Starting from the recognition of the time-variant nature of the class-D LC tank, accurate expressions of the oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude, current consumption, phase noise, and figure-of-merit (FoM) have been derived. Compared with the commonly used cla
Landing from a jump is related to predictive sensorimotor control. Frontal, central and parietal brain areas are known to play a role in this process based on online sensory feedback. This can be measured by EEG. However, there is only limited knowledge about brain activity during predictive preparation for drop landings (DL). The purpose is to demonstrate changes in brain activity in preparation
Problem – Despite supply chain flexibility is recognized as a competitive advantage in today’s business, and supply chain information system is one of the most critical tool to facilitate flexibility. There is no consensus or comprehensive description on how information system tailor with and work on supply chain flexibility to achieve better dynamic capability. Most of literatures mainly focus on
So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.
Asylärendena kännetecknas av vissa unika särdrag. Till dessa kan räknas den enskildes ofta prekära situation, och att beslutsfattaren ska ta ställning till huruvida den sökande befinner sig i en situation i vilken denne är berättigad internationellt skydd undan förföljelser eller inte. Även maktförhållandet parterna emellan stärker behovet av försiktighet från beslutsfattarens sida. För att hanterThe asylum process is characterised by certain unique features. Amongst these are the precarious situation of the applicant, and the fact that the decision maker is to decide whether or not the applicant is in a situation that entitles him or her to international protection. The balance of power between the two parties is also a key feature that strengthens the need of caution by the decision make
I takt med en utveckling mot en mer komplicerad brottslighet har fler brott blivit svårare att utreda och lagföra. Det föreligger därmed ett behov av att öka effektiviteten i brottmålsprocessen. I detta sammanhang har åtalsuppgörelser blivit ett alltmer omdiskuterat ämne. Uppsatsen utreder huruvida åtalsuppgörelser bör införas i svensk rätt i syfte att effektivisera brottmålsprocessen. Sverige harDue to a trend towards a more complicated criminality, several crimes have become more difficult to investigate and prosecute. There is therefore a need to increase the efficiency of the criminal proceedings. Plea bargaining has become an increasingly discussed subject in this context. The aim of the thesis is therefore to investigate whether plea bargaining should be introduced in Swedish law in
The aim of this study was to determine in what manner a luxury fashion heritage brand can rebrand from the perspective of brand public members. In line with the relativist and social constructivist stance taken in this study, a netnography of posts and belonging comments on the Instagram accounts of this study’s two example companies, Burberry and Gucci, was conducted. A thematic analysis was appl
Införandet av ombud för barn i vårdnadstvister har varit omdiskuterat under en mycket lång tid. Frågan har diskuterats av sakkunniga, behandlats i flera utredningar samt varit föremål för flertalet riksdagsmotioner. Än har frågan inte resulterat i någon ny lagstiftning. Uppsatsens syfte är att, ur ett barnrättsperspektiv, utreda om ett införande av ombud för barn i vårdnadstvister kan stärka barThe question of whether a legal representative for children in custody disputes should be introduced in Swedish legislation has been discussed for a long time. Despite this, the discussions have not yet resulted in any legislation. The purpose of this essay is to, from a children’s rights perspective, investigate whether the legislation of representatives of children in custody disputes could st
Anonyma vittnen har under längre tid figurerat i den juridiska sfären som en åtgärd mot gängkriminalitet och tystnadskulturen som ett framväxande fenomen. Som bakgrund gäller en allmän vittnesplikt i Sverige, vilket innebär att gemene man förväntas ställa upp i vittnesmål som ett led i upprätthållandet av vårt rättssamhälle. Vidare innebär EKMRs artikel 6, rätten till rättvis rättegång en begränsnAnonymous witnesses have more recently been a topic for discussion in the legal sphere in Sweden as a measure against gang crime and an emerging phenomenon known as silence culture, referring to an unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement based on fear of repercussions. Individuals are, regardless of other circumstances, expected to testify as a part of maintaining an overall sense of justi

Regionalism, that has been always with us in different forms throughout the history and emerged as an alternative theory after the end of Cold War, enables us to explain new world order. Since the end of WWII, there are two types of regionalism explaining the dynamics of regional formations. The one that came into question from the end of WWII till end of Cold War is names as ‘old’ regionalism and
Uppsatsen redogör för rättsreglerna kring omplacering och turordning vid arbetsbristuppsägningar. Det finns ett omfattande regelverk kring anställningsskyddet i Sverige. Det reglerar hur arbetsgivare ska uppträda då uppsägningar ska äga rum. Det krävs saklig grund för att en arbetsgivare ska ha rätt att säga upp en arbetstagare. Detta framgår tydligt ur 7§ anställningsskyddslagen. För att sakligThis essay describes the legal rules regarding relocation and order of priority in connection with termination of employment due to redundancy. There are comprehensive regulations on employment protection in Sweden. It regulates how employers should act when the redundancies will take place. It requires grounds for dismissal for an employer to have the right to terminate an employee. This is evid
The master thesis was carried out on SSAB in Oxelösund where the international steel company has its main office for cooled steels. SSAB has a world-leading position within steel where abrasion resistance and wearability is crucial. SSAB has earlier developed a computer-based model that is calibrated after real results and can simulate how strains and stresses deploy in the plates when they are ex
Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T
