The matured laser-diagnostic techniques of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) were applied to a prototype gas turbine burner operating on various fuels. The work was performed to provide verification of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models of the combustion of atypical fuels in a gas turbine combustor. The burner was operated using methane and three s

In this article, we introduce and demonstrate the concept-metaphor of broken data. In doing so, we advance critical discussions of digital data by accounting for how data might be in processes of decay, making, repair, re-making and growth, which are inextricable from the ongoing forms of creativity that stem from everyday contingencies and improvisatory human activity. We build and demonstrate ou
Digital nomadism has been around for more than two decades. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift from traditional office work to remote work, which made the digital nomad lifestyle more accessible for a larger group of individuals. Digital nomads represent a great opportunity for destinations as they help boost the local economy. Therefore, it is important for destinations t
The article gives an overview of Crip Theory, a diverse assembly of critical perspectives on dis/ability, and outlines how it can be used to analyse social relations and intersectionality in contemporary societies. Arguing that Crip Theory is indebted not only to cultural studies but also to materialist models of disability and feminist theory, the authors conclude that it can contribute significa
Sweden’s elderly population is growing, propelled by a continuous decline in old-age mortality, while coupled with a persistent replacement level fertility. This changing age structure increases the per worker cost of providing a given age-vector of per capita benefits, encompassing costs for pensions, health care, and all other type of old-age welfare services, which presents a looming challenge

Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e

Since the installment of direct elections to the European Parliament, turnout has been falling. The implications of low, and ever falling, turnout are many. By holding second-order elections in the form of local elections on the same day as the election for the European Parliament, which also is a second-order election, turnout increases. This thesis estimates that turnout would increase by approx

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between varying leverage ratios and performance for large Swedish firms. With a recent trend of decreasing borrowing rates, it is more common for Swedish firms to have a larger portion of debt on their balance sheets. This trend makes it important to understand the effects changing leverage has on firm performance. The relationship between
Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu
