The structural integration of energy storage could play a pivotal role in designing more efficient, lightweight systems such as electric transport, internet of things (IoT) devices and autonomous systems. The current work focuses on the fabrication and characterization of novel multifunctional composites for sodium-ion structural batteries. A PEO-PVP polymer matrix with added InAs nanowires and gl
Stabell and Fjeldstad (1998) proposed three value configurations; the value shop, the value chain and the value network based on Thompson’s (1967) three technologies as a typology. However, that Thompson’s technologies constitute a typology has been criticized (cf Barbini and Neri, 2017). Also, research has highlighted increased shifts in value configurations and hybrid forms. Thus, the question a
The increasing use of digital tools in archaeology has vastly expanded our capacity to document and visualise the past, yet the reasoning that connects evidence to interpretation often remains implicit or undocumented. This paper addresses that gapby integrating Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE)—a philosophical model of hypothesis evaluation—into the Archaeological Interactive Report (AIR),
This study investigates the practical integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) for energy-efficient building design. This research explores the challenges and opportunities of openBIM-to-BEM workflows by drawing on a literature review and a real-world case study in Östergötland County, typical of the Million Programme, a large public housing initiativ
This work is devoted to the development and comprehensive validation of a new interatomic potential for bcc and hcp refractory alloys based on the Wsingle bondMosingle bondNbsingle bondTasingle bondZrsingle bondTi system. The presented model allows the simulation of various structural transformations, as well as the behavior of crystal defects in several of the phases observed in this system. The
Many important problems involving a group of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are closely related to the multi traviling salesman problem (m-TSP). This paper comprises a comparative study of a number of algorithms proposed in the litterature to solve m-TSPs occuring in robotics. The investigated algoritms include two mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations, a market based approach (MA)
Protein and lactose of cheese whey can be separated using ultrafiltration membranes and lactose can be hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase. This study investigated the integration of ultrafiltration and enzymatic hydrolysis for simultaneous protein concentration and lactose hydrolysis. β-galactosidase was immobilized on ceramic membrane via surface activation with gelatin and subsequent enzyme cross-lin
Opus 106b. Composition: Alexander von Zemlinsky. Lyrics by Ferdinand Gregorovius, Constance Bache. A version of this work already exists for soprano and chamber orchestra, but I have adapted it for soprano and string quartet.
Background: Fentanyl is commonly administered for procedural pain management in preterm infants, but target concentrations have not yet been defined. Methods: To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK), -dynamics (PD), and -genetics (PG), 25 infants (gestational age 23.3–34.1 weeks) received a fentanyl dose before a skin-breaking procedure (0.5 µg/kg) or tracheal intubation (2 µg/kg). Four pain scales w
The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association convened three separate work groups in 2011 and single work groups in 2012 and 2018 to create recommendations for the diagnosis and characterization of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present document updates the 2018 research framework in response to several recent developments. Defining diseases biologically, rather than based on synd
The age-standardized prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has increased substantially over the years and is expected to increase further. This emphasizes the need to identify modifiable risk factors of PD, which could form a logical entry point for the prevention of PD. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended reducing exposure to specific environmental factors that have been reported
Navigation performance in urban and large-scale built-up spaces (e.g. airports, train-stations, hospitals) depends on gradual environmental perception during locomotion, and spatial knowledge acquisition, update/integration at different times along a path. Rotational locomotion is regularly involved in everyday navigation; this, combined with the fact that people cannot perceive the whole of a lar
BackgroundResearch is limited on registered healthcare professionals (RHCP) usage of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) in Swedish municipal primary healthcare work.Aim/ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to increase the understanding of experiences, attitudes, and conditions of usage of research and implementation of EBP among RHCPs in a Swedish municipality setting. Further, the study ai
This report summarises the results from an interview and literature study carried out to identify key individual qualities for collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service context. The report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into such individual qualities through using different methods and ma
Background: The Organ Care System and Non-ischemic Heart Preservation methods have emerged as significant advancements in heart transplantation, designed to mitigate ischemic injury and extend preservation times. However, their high costs and logistical complexities necessitate strategic utilization. Methods: We evaluated data from 83,761 heart transplants registered in the International Society f
A high spatiotemporal resolution technique for instantaneous flow field measurement has been developed, enabling one-dimensional velocimetry and flow field visualization within a converging–diverging nozzle. By employing femtosecond laser-induced long-lived, high-intensity plasma emission in a CO2/N2 gas flow, coupled with an ICCD camera, we achieved instantaneous one-dimensional velocity measurem
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of everyday leisure travel for social and recreational trip purposes by describing and problematising car use for such trips. Leisure trips are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and reductions are needed to mitigate climate change. Technical solutions, such as electric vehicles, contribute but research has demonstrate
The concentrations of sulfur and several more elements were measured in a network of six sites in southern Sweden. High time resolution samples were taken using a continuous filter sampler and analysed by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Simultaneous increases in the sulfur concentrations were seen along the network due to the inflow of polluted air masses. High sulfur concentrations genera
