Modern film cooling is an essential method to protect the turbine blade from the hot gas, and the issue about how to improve the film cooling performance has attracted much attention. In this study, a tree-shaped film cooling structure is carried out to improve the overall effectiveness and better decrease the metal temperature of the blade at the same time. To validate the superiority of the prop
Textile industries are responsible for one of the major environmental pollution problems in the world, because they release undesirable dye effluents. Textile wastewater contains dyes mixed with various contaminants at a variety of ranges. Therefore, environmental legislation commonly obligates textile factories to treat these effluents before discharge into the receiving watercourses. The treatme
This cross-sectional study examined psychological mechanisms in order to increase knowledge regarding mental illness amongst 561 over-indebted individuals in Sweden. Differences were explored between individuals with probable clinical depression and/or anxiety and individuals without probable clinical depression and/or anxiety, considering objective measures of the debt, financial strain, coping s
Background: Early identification of patients with suspected infection who are at risk of clinical deterioration in the Emergency Department (ED) is challenging, yet crucial for timely initiation of appropriate care and prevention of clinical deterioration. This multicenter international study evaluates the performance of established scores (SIRS, LODS, qSOFA, SOFA, NEWS) in predicting severe outco
Spark discharge generators (SDGs) are versatile tools for producing nanoparticles (NPs) with tailored properties. This study combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Particle Tracing (PT) simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics® with experimental data to investigate the effect of various chamber configurations, including inlet/outlet positioning and chamber volume on the NP output. Five geometri
This article explores the potential of full-count historical census microdata to enhance our understanding of occupational activity and retirement among older men and women in Sweden between 1880 and 1910 – a period preceding the introduction of a universal pension system. Drawing on the SwedPop infrastructure, we examine how occupational information was recorded, coded, and interpreted in the Swe
Recent advances in instrumentation have sparked a transformative journey in materials science, providing insights into the intricate relationship between processing, structure and properties. Among them, cutting-edge in situ micro- and nanoscale mechanical characterization methods, equipped with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution, such as instrumented electron microscopy, X-ray imaging an
The discussion of the swedish treatment of offenders often revolves round the two contradictions punishment and care. Modern prison is described to be based on values such as humanity, care and respect, although the main task is to protect the society from criminals by keeping them locked up. This study focused on the role of the prison officer with the purpose of understanding how he sees his pro
The rapid development of China's outbound tourism in European countries is receiving more and more attention from the European tourism industry. The improvements of the national economy, the characteristics of Chinese culture and the strengthening of the economic and cultural bonds between China and European Union countries have all played roles in its growth. This master thesis summarizes Chi
The purpose of the project is to recommend one common way of how to calculate a conversion factor that should be used to convert sales into the corresponding volume in cubic meter. The conversion factor is a forecasted average value per cubic meter of an IKEA product and could be seen as a model of the future. The authors of the thesis have no intensions to provide a perfect model that is an exact
Which underlying factors to sexual violence in Congo (DRC) dose the UN observe? This essay will present two theories that each try to explain the underlying factors to sexual violence in Congo (DRC). The first theory sees both socially constructed understandings of masculinity that is produced in military institutions and the frustration of over not achieving this masculine ideal, as underlying fa
Research about delegating or controlling purchasing with 2nd tier suppliers does not seem to be convergent; it discusses benefits and disadvantages of both purchasing tactics in various situations. There is no single tool today that we have found, that helps manufacturing companies decide when to control and when to delegate purchasing in the supply chain. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. F
Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are currently being evaluated in numerous pre-clinical and clinical cell-based therapy studies. Furthermore, there is an increasing interest in exploring alternative uses of these cells in disease modelling, pharmaceutical screening, and regenerative medicine by applying reprogramming technologies. However, the limited availability of MSCs from various
A flying animal can minimize its energy consumption by choosing an optimal flight speed depending on the task at hand. Choice of flight speed can be predicted by modelling the aerodynamic power required for flight, and this tool has previously been used extensively in bird migration research. For insects, however, it is uncertain whether any of the commonly used power models are useful, as insects
Conventional 3D organic-inorganic halide perovskites have recently undergone unprecedented rapid development. Yet, their inherent instabilities over moisture, light, and heat remain a crucial challenge prior to the realization of commercialization. By contrast, the emerging 2D Ruddlesden-Popper-type perovskites have recently attracted increasing attention owing to their great environmental stabili
Primary intracerebral haemorrhage and lacunar ischaemic stroke are acute manifestations of progressive cerebral microvascular disease. Current paradigms suggest atherosclerosis is a chronic, dynamic, inflammatory condition precipitated in response to endothelial injury from various environmental challenges. Myeloperoxidase plays a central role in initiation and progression of vascular inflammation
