Scientific performance is often evaluated by bibliometric indicators such as publication counts or citations. But this may neglect other relevant outputs from research units. An optimal evaluation would measure each dimension separately, but this would be costly. Luckily, cluster analyses show that units which specialise in other types of research activities (such as knowledge transfer or educatio
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) is a leading cause of opportunistic infections of the respiratory tract in children and adults. Although considered an extracellular pathogen, NTHI has been observed repeatedly within and between cells of the human respiratory tract, and these observations have been correlated to symptomatic infection. These findings are intriguing in light of the knowledg
The chapter focuses on the notion of critical evaluation of information, which is an important part of media and information literacy (MIL). The concepts frictions of relevance and infrastructural meaningmaking are introduced to shed light on the information infrastructure’s significance for MIL in today’s digital media ecology. Furthermore, the chapter discusses some of the limitations inherent i
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) versus any intermittent monitoring modalities to measure glycemia improves neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm newborn infants.
We study authentic leadership as a prominent but problematic example of positive leadership that we use as a more general “warning” against the current fashion of excessive positivity in leadership studies. Without trying to cover “everything”, we critically examine the principal tenets of mainstream authentic leadership theory and reveal a number of fundamental flaws: shaky philosophical and theo
Conodonts are a clade of chordates and are valuable indicator fossils for biostratigraphy. The segminiplanate (neogondolelliform) conodonts represent a major morphological group ranging from upper Carboniferous to Upper Triassic marine sediments. However, the morphological similarity of segminiplanate P 1 element
Copyright law reflects a balance between the competing interests of protection and access. It is often held that this balance has been disturbed by recent technological and related legal developments. This article describes and compares two vehicles to enhance access to information in the online environment, while also taking into account the interest of protection: (i) the introduction of (broade
A low-cost microstrip patch antenna array is proposed in this paper for automotive radar applications in ISM 24 GHz band. The elements of the center-fed array are connected in series to make a compact design with low complexity by obviating Wilkinson power divider. This approach also helps to reduce the dielectric losses of the array. A full-wave electromagnetics (EM) software EMPIRE XPU is used i
Much has been written about Percy Bysshe Shelley’s engagement with different aspects of natural philosophy in his poetry and prose. But Shelley’s interest in plants and botany has yet to receive sustained attention. This chapter focusses on the representation of wildness in what it defines as Shelley’s botanical poetry: poems which not only have a plant as their ostensible subject, or which develo
Ett första steg i arbetet att uppskatta kolflödet mellan landbaserade ekosystem och atmosfären är att så precist som möjligt analysera kvantiteten ovanjordisk biomassa. LiDAR teknologi har i detta avseende visat sig vara ett värdefullt verktyg. Det överlöpande målet med denna studie är att utveckla en förenklad metod, baserad på fjärranalys, för att uppskatta ovanjordisk biomassa för individuella As a first step in the assessment of carbon flux between the terrestrial environment and the atmosphere it is important to accurately quantify the carbon stock of forest ecosystems. LiDAR technology, in this respect, has proved to be a valuable tool, able to provide accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). The overall goal of this study was to develop a simplified method for assessing AGB
Fossil fuel subsides are estimated to between 523‐1900 billion USD per year, depending on how subsidies are defined. Phasing out fossil fuel subsides is therefore considered a first best solution towards more sustainable energy systems and making progress on fossil fuel subsidy reform has a big potential for climate change mitigation. Also in Sweden that has among the highest environmental taxes i
The goal of this master thesis is to set up a low cost automated robotic test system which can later be reproduced to greatly increase test coverage. Mostly through experimental research this thesis will find good components to use and evaluate these from a performance and cost perspective. It will also develop computer vision algorithms needed and automation software for the final set up. The per
Objective: To limit the research time by developing a theoretical model, that can predict the lifetime of a wheel with the help of different input values. Apart from a theoretical model, also create a different type of test rig that can decrease the testing time, and still produce an accurate result similar to a real situation. Method: This Master’s Thesis was based on both an investigatory method
India has a composite federal structure comprising of 28 States with a strong unitary bias. A majority of rivers in India crisscross the political boundaries of two or more States. The river waters often give rise to inter-State water conflicts. Most of the conflicts are normally resolved by way of mutually agreeable water sharing agreements. However, in the cases of intransigence, the Constitutio
The bachelor thesis contains a presentation of three NGOs working for sustainable housing and infrastructure development for the low-income families in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and the future prospect of introducing a wider range of multi-storey buildings. A high number of the Central American population live in densely populated slums in urban areas with harsh living conditions far below the pove
This thesis is focused on exploring what insights a human ecological perspective could provide on the understanding and practice of political consumerism. This is divided and conducted in two sections, the first section is a theoretical discussion which is devoted to defining political consumerism and reconseptualizing some aspects and components of it as well as to positioning it in a wider and m
Background: Customers for buses and coaches on the European market ask for complete vehicles from one supplier. Since Scania CV are only manufacturing chassis, their sales companies must co-operate with body builders in order to offer a complete product and service backup. This means that the sales companies in connection with every order have to deal with two order processes, one for Scania CV an
