Healthy cortical bone tissue is both tough and strong and has a unique ability to resist fracture. One reason is the hierarchical structure of the tissue where toughening mechanisms at all length scales act to slow down or stop a propagating crack. The most potent toughening mechanisms arise at the microscale when cracks interact with the osteonal microstructure and deflect along weak interfaces.

The concept of “Sustainable water use” (SWU) aims to assure three pillars of sustainability related to the water sector: the social, environmental, and economical. Industrial development, especially in developing countries, requires an adequate response, as industrial activities are recognized as one of the major sources of water pollution, what leads to deterioration of environmental safety and w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människors sätt att visualisera objekt bygger på en del underliggande principer som man kanske inte alltid reflekterar över. Det faktum att vi har just två ögon gör det till exempel möjligt för oss att avgöra på vilket avstånd ett objekt befinner sig. Detta kallas för parallaxeffekten. Kameror, som bara har ett "öga", saknar denna förmåga, vilket försvårar avbildande mäLaser sheet imaging, also known as planar laser imaging, is one of the most versatile optical imaging techniques known and is frequently applied in several different domains. It furthermore constitutes the basis for a variety of other 2D methods, in turn allowing visualization of e.g. velocity, particle size, species concentration and temperature. However, when applied on turbid, light scattering

This work concerns experimental and numerical studies of pressure drop and heat transfer for turbulent flow inside a U-duct and in particular the bend part. Such duct geometries can be found in many engineering applications where cooling air extracts heat from hot internal walls of the duct, e.g., passage cooling inside gas turbine blades. The details of the duct geometry were as follows: the cros

Information and communication are increasingly being conveyed over the Internet. The forms of service and commerce that we are familiar with today will most likely be reduced in scale in the future to be replaced by new electronic solutions. For this reason, it is important that new technology be designed so that as many people as possible can utilize it. Accessibility to a range of services and i

Abstract in Chinese 概述 学校教学最重要目的之一是赋予每个孩子同等的教育. 尽管如此, 学校再创造了社会差异. 先前的研究表明,学生的低下社会经济情况背景与自然学科成绩低下有一定联系. 这样, 不少学生在未来就被排斥在社会高端学科的教育和职业之外. 本篇论文在Bourdieu和Bernstein的理论基础上, 以自然学科课堂的社会阶级为中心, 旨在对小 学生所受的教育存在不等现象提供更多方位描述和更深层的分析. 在人种民族学的启发下, 本论文的数据取自瑞典义务小学八年级物理教室里的观察, 记录, 采访和统计调查. 1. 对教室里现象的描述和分析揭示了知识难度的下降. 这一现象的发生通常是因为自然学科的教学所具有的社会历史传统因素, 学生, 老师和教室里的谈话社交之间有无形的默契, 或被称为隐蔽的磋商, (出发点往往是善良的愿望),教室里形成了对所有学生都不利的知识难度的The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to a more complex and multi-faceted description and analysis of inequalities in education, focusing on social class in the science classroom. Inspired by an ethnographic approach, the data was produced through observations, field notes, interviews, and a questionnaire in a Swedish compulsory school. The students aged fourteen and fifteen, were follo

Following privatization paralleled with increasing need for childcare, private and public actors today compete to contract potential foster parents in Sweden.

Uppsatsen handlar om barnets rätt att komma till tals i vårdnadsmål. Rätten fastställs i barnkonventionens artikel 12. Artikeln gäller som lag i Sverige sedan 2020. Enligt artikel 12 ska konventionsstaterna tillförsäkra det barn som är i stånd att bilda egna åsikter rätten att fritt uttrycka dessa i alla frågor som rör barnet. Vidare ska barnet i alla domstolsförfaranden och administrativa förfara

Canada pledged to achieve net zero by 2050 and important efforts revolving around the energy transition of electricity generation systems toward renewables sources are being carried. Currently, most renewable systems developed are occurring on Indigenous communities’ lands for various reasons. Climatic conditions are suitable for solar and wind-based solutions, space is available, and this trend c

This thesis process started with us wondering what happens with employee engagement in an organisation where the employees have been forced to conduct their work from home. We were also interested in the view of subordinates as well as HR-managers, their experiences and perceptions of employee engagement and how this was managed while working from home. This is what we have investigated in a finan

Genom incitamentsprogram tilldelas anställda finansiella instrument som ger dem del av arbetsgivarens framgångar. Den avkastning som genom instrumenten tillkommer de anställda beskattas idag normalt i inkomstslaget kapital och inte, som lön, i inkomstslaget tjänst. Endast förmånen av att erhålla instrumentet till nedsatt pris beskattas normalt som arbetsinkomst. I denna uppsats undersöks utifrån rEmployees taking part in incentive programs are offered financial instruments which offer them parts of their employer’s successes. In Swedish tax law, the returns from these instruments are normally taxed as capital income and not as labour income. The employees benefit in kind of receiving the instrument to a discounted price is however taxed as labour income. This essay attempts to analyse whet

Slam från konventionell avloppsvattenrening innehåller näringsämnen samt mullbildande ämnen vilket medför att materialet utgör en resurs som växtnäring och jordförbättringsmedel. Problematiken med att använda slam är att det även innehåller främmande ämnen som metaller och svårnedbrytbara organiska föreningar.

The sludge contains nutrients and humic formaing substances which make it useful as a fertilizer. The problem with using sludge is that it also contains toxicants as heavy metals and persistent organic compounds.

Sverige är ett av mycket få länder som inte har någon tidsgräns för hur länge häktning får pågå. Dessutom åläggs regelmässigt restriktioner som innebär att den häktade i princip är helt isolerad under häktningstiden. För detta har Sverige fått ta emot långvarig skarp kritik från internationellt håll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda det svenska häktningsinstitutet, med fokus på häktningstidernSweden is one of very few countries that has no legislation limiting time on remand. In addition, restrictions are imposed regularly, which means that the remand prisoner essentially is completely isolated during the period of remand. For this, Sweden has received long-standing sharp international criticism. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the Swedish detention laws, with focus on the

Thus, a major component our research is to enhance the understanding of causes to progressing diabetes and cardiovascular disease
