This thesis highlights the importance of narratives for Human experience and its connection to the climate using a methodological and epistemological standpoint of Hermeneutics. Using the categories of economics, the unknown and psychology an argument is laid out for the likelihood of increased future chaos as a result of Climate Change. Then the flood myth is explored with its cultural significan

This paper summarises the major recommendations and conclusions of the third Forum of the European Network on Energy Research (ENER) which took place in June 2002 in Budapest. The major perceptions of this meeting as well as the most important conclusions and recommendations for energy policy makers are compiled in this summary. The statements compiled in the following represent a consensus within

Invasive procedures can be performed safely in children with haemophilia due to the availability of factor VIII/IX for patients without inhibitors. Most guidelines are based on the experiences in adults, but still there is no established consensus on the optimal factor levels or duration of replacement therapy for adults undergoing surgery. Few publications have focused on surgery in children with

Bjorn Roos is one of the pioneers in the development and usage of multiconfigurational methods, in particular, the complete active space self-consistent field method and the perturbational complete active space perturbation theory through second order. To perform multiconfigurational calculations using these methods, a set of active orbitals must be selected, and the success of the methods depends

Pupil-corneal reflection (P-CR) eye tracking has gained a prominent role in studying dog visual cognition, despite methodological challenges that often lead to lower-quality data than when recording from humans. In the current study, we investigated if and how the morphology of dogs might interfere with tracking of P-CR systems, and to what extent such interference, possibly in combination with do

Eye trackers are applied in many research fields (e.g., cognitive science, medicine, marketing research). To give meaning to the eye-tracking data, researchers have a broad choice of classification methods to extract various behaviors (e.g., saccade, blink, fixation) from the gaze signal. There is extensive literature about the different classification algorithms. Surprisingly, not much is known a

All currently available QCD-inspired models/Monte Carlos for the event structure in high-p T physics are described. Included is information on hard interactions, initial and final state radiation, structure functions, beam jets and fragmentation. Results from a number of comparative Monte Carlo runs are presented, which help to illuminate how the physics content in Monte Carlos may be tested. Spec

In Europe postgraduate training to become a geriatrician is regulated by national governments. To gain some insight how these regulations work in practice students of the Xth EAMA Postgraduate Course in Geriatrics prepared a presentation on how to become a geriatrician in their country. This article summarizes and compares the given information of 16 European countries illustrating an extensive di

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomenon of event sponsorship and how it adds value to a brand. It aims to discuss various forms of sponsorship and outline how they differ from one another. The objective is to discover why a brand should choose to create an event instead of only sponsoring an existing event. Methodology - An explorative research approach was used for this p

Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d

In this paper we present some ideas for knowledge representation formalism suitable for rational agents which learn how to choose the best conditional, partial plan in any given situation. In our architecture, the agent uses an incomplete symbolic inference engine, employing Active Logic, to reason about consequences of performing actions — including information-providing ones. It utilises a simpl

Behrang Kianzad, researcher at Lund University School of Economics and Management, ponders the idea of fairness in EU regulation. It will be difficult to find someone who would argue in favour of a world that is unfair, yet the idea of fairness is not as universal as it may seem, nor is it easy to operationalise. The Commission attempts to do so in new regulation such as the DMA. Important questio

Activity-related breathlessness is the most problematic symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), arising from complex interactions between periph- eral pathophysiology (both pulmonary and non-pulmonary) and central perceptual proces- sing. To capture information on the breathlessness experienced by people with COPD, many different instruments exist, which vary in applicability depe

Dagens hanterande av etablerade kulturarvslandskap har i många fall medfört åtgärder som försvårar en direkt och sinnlig upplevelse av landskapet. Standardiserade rutiner, ett musealt tänkande och en upplevelseinriktad ”disneyfiering” har på olika sätt bidragit till detta. I avhandlingen utvecklas förslag för att återskapa den omedelbara och ibland förtrollande förnimmelse som ett historiskt laddaCertain deadening forces including disneyfication, museumization, and the standardization of heritagescapes have led to the loss of embodied, lived experiences. In an effort to (re)enchant how these landscapes are developed, managed, and encountered, a new landscape model is introduced that combines the more practical components of heritage management (locale and story) with strategies that explor

Våra forskare möter samhällets utmaningar inom IT och kommunikation. Tillsammans med industrin bygger de framtidens informationsteknologi genom nya innovationer, metoder och kunskap. Utvecklingen av och efterfrågan på 6G-teknik, robotar och självkörande bilar går snabbt framåt. Inom dessa snabbt föränderliga områden är teknologiska genombrott helt avgörande för att vi ska kunna möta industrins beh

This thesis presents the results of studies done on various biomolecules and their interactions with nanomaterials. The biomolecule sources are everything from purified, single proteins to the complicated mixture of blood serum and cell culture media. Similarly, the nanomaterial sources vary from spherical titanium dioxide, gold, and polystyrene nanoparticles to novel nanowires of gallium arsenide
