In the present work we study the 1s2s2p3 6S(o) --> 1s2s2p(2)3s6P(e) and 1s2s2p3 6S(o) --> 1s2s2p(2)3d6P(e) transitions energies and probabilities in the boron isoelectronic sequence, including B I, C II, N III, O IV, F V, Mg IX and Al IX. Extending the calculations to Be-, we also confirm the bound character of the excited 1s2s2p3 6S(o) state and predict the electron affinity EA = 1.29783eV for Be
Results are reported for biosensors based on two different preparations of the same enzyme, laccase from Cerrena unicolor, one lyophilized and one stored frozen at - 18degreesC, for monitoring phenolic compounds. The enzyme was adsorbed on graphite electrodes and these were used in a flow through wall jet cell connected to a flow injection set-up. The electrodes were used at - 50 mV vs. AgAgCl. Th
In the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, customer retention is crucial for maintaining profitability. This report investigates the performance of various machine learning models in predicting customer churn rates, which are integral to calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The focus is on a comparative analysis of several models including logistic regression, ridge regression, las
The current study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the various motivations for full-time work. Based on a set of semi-structured interviews (n=10) with working parents, it investigates the interaction between individual motivations and external factors, intentions and constraints and how it shapes work time preferences. The respondent's experiences and individual motives are used to exam
I Maj 2018 lanserade regeringen en strategi för Sveriges nationella skogsprogram. Som en viktig del av skogsprogrammets implementering initierar Länsstyrelserna nu regionala dialogprocesser för att jobba fram regionala skogsstrategier och handlingsplaner. Tidigare forskning visar att den svenska skogspolitiken hittills inte har lyckats hantera målkonflikterna mellan produktion och miljö. Därför viIn May 2018, a strategy for Sweden’s first National Forest Program was launched. As part of its implementation, County Administrative Boards are now initiating dialogue processes for drafting regional forest strategies and action plans. Previous research shows that Swedish forest policy has so far been unable to resolve the tensions between its production and environmental goals. I aim to investig
Misleading health information remains a central concern in medical sociology and public health due to its harmful effects on individuals and society. As health information-seeking increasingly shifts to digital platforms, Large Language Models (LLMs)—now commonly used as search engines—have intensified concerns about the spread of health misinformation. This study examines the potential for LLMs t
The purpose of the study was to capture a number of views on what impact language has on integration processes and social life. Since language is an important component of communication amongst people, it affects several aspects of everyday life such as occupation and social participation. To accomplish the aim eight people of foreign origin with experience of studying the language education progr
The question of secondary liability of internet intermediaries for illegal content online is closely linked to the enjoyment of freedom of expression that has to be guaranteed both online and offline. The provisions concerning internet service providers’ liability in Europe include ‘notice and take down’ procedure, blocking measures and injunctions against intermediaries, which are all well-desi
Variability of atmospheric circulation is considered one of the most important factors causing interannual and interdecadal variability of freshwater amount that is discharged from the continents. Here it is presented an analysis of the relations between the discharge variability of five major rivers in the Mediterranean basin (i.e. Adige, Arno Ebro, Po and Rhone) responsible for the 70% of total
Striving to contribute to research on child- and youth spirituality and African theology with a contextually grounded, non-western, qualitative youth perspective, the aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the spirituality of male youth that live on the streets in Nairobi. To fulfil this aim, the research task carried out is an analysis of the source material from six focus group intervi
Cities face a host of challenges including urbanisation and climate change and must quickly adapt and integrate sustainability solutions to deal with these challenges. One platform seen as a mechanism to support innovation for sustainability in cities is the concept of the living lab. A living lab is a user-centred, open innovation ecosystem that seeks to engage academia, industry and municipaliti
New legislation involving emissions from internal combustion engines are pushing the manu-facturers to develop new technology faster than ever before with the amount of greenhouse gases. To meet the standards new concepts need to be developed with lower fuel consumption and emissions. This thesis covers the implementation of a couple of methods to achieve this. These concepts are DEP with fully va
Product Service Systems offer companies the possibility to reduce environmental impacts by diminishing resource consumption, raw material extraction and waste generation. The concept focuses on a system of products, services and supporting networks with the aim of transitioning from selling the benefits of a product rather than the actual product. Naturally, incentives are created for companies to
In the Netherlands it is very common to separate household waste inside the home. In several Dutch municipalities a financial incentive system has been implemented that is intended to motivate residents to manage and separate household waste more efficiently. The system has shown to give good results when evaluated in terms of the amount of collected household waste. However, no research exists on
In the State of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico exist abundant natural resource and excellent wind conditions. Currently in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca has an extensive area with wind farm projects due to their excellent wind speed conditions. A large wind energy plant – the Project Mareña Renovables that since their origins started in 2004 with Preneal Company. It was planned to
The aim of this essay is to investigate English language textbooks and the way they adhere to the curriculum and syllabi for English language teaching in Sweden. It will also look at what language ideological elements that these textbooks represent. The background section reviews language ideology in general, while also attempting to present the language ideological attitudes that are currently do
In the 2014 Swedish national election the Sweden Democrats, a radical right-wing and anti-immigrant party, established itself as the third biggest party and as an outcome, racism has become an everyday issue of the society. This can be seen everywhere, not least in educational settings where, for instance, insulting language use, violation of integrity, sexual harassment and hate crimes are common
