This paper investigates the resistive power losses that are incurred in keeping a network of synchronous generators in a synchronous state. These losses arise due to the transient power-flow fluctuations that occur when the system is perturbed from a synchronous state by a small transient event or in the face of persistent stochastic disturbances. We call these losses the 'price of synchrony,' as
Background: The transition process from being an occupational therapy student to becoming an occupational therapist has been shown to be stressful, with an increased risk of burnout and job turnover. Consequently, there is a need to gain a deeper understanding of this process in order to identify ways of making it easier. Aims/objectives: To describe newly graduated Swedish occupational therapists
Background and aims: Microvascular dysfunction underlies many cardiovascular disease conditions; little is known regarding its presence in individuals with high levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of microvascular dysfunction among such subjects with and without concomitant familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Methods: Four groups of asympto
OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this current systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the potential microbiological effect of probiotics on the implant microbiota. The secondary aim was to evaluate if probiotics have any effect as an adjunct to non-surgical peri-implant treatment in reducing peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis clinical parameters-bleeding on probing, modified Ging
The use of external providers for the provision of information and communication technology (ICT) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is expected to increase. At the end of the 1990s the concept of Application Service Provision (ASP) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) was introduced. This is described as one way for SMEs to provide themselves with software applications. However, it
We present novel developments for the highly efficient evaluation of complex linear response functions of a multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) wave function as implemented in MultiPsi. Specifically, expressions for the direct evaluation of linear response properties at given frequencies using the complex polarization propagator (CPP) approach have been implemented, within both the
The Environmental Research Infrastructure (ENVRI) community is a cluster of European research infrastructures focused on the environment and Earth system science. The ENVRI-FAIR project aims to advance the FAIRness of their data and services with emphasis on interoperability and connect the ENVRI community to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). In this article, we present a proposal for a scie
Antonymy and negation are phenomena that can be studied from many perspectives. In the literature, antonymy is recognized as the most robust of the lexico-semantic relations, important to both the mental organization of the vocabulary and the organization of coherent discourse (Cruse 1986, Fellbaum 1998, Murphy 2003, Willners 2001 and Jones 2002). "Depending on whom you ask, negation may be a logi
Punctuality is an important aspect of train operations, highly valued by passengers. Both Swedish and Norwegian railways have introduced frameworks to systematically improve punctuality in their systems, inspired by an extensive literature on Total Quality Management. After about a decade with these frameworks, we can see that punctuality has risen by about 2-3 percentage points. However, this pac
Background. Today only indirect fluorescent antibody assays (IFAs) are commercially available to detect antibodies against Babesia divergens in humans. IFA is subjective and requires highly experienced staff. We have therefore developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based method for measuring anti-B. divergens immunoglobulin G antibodies in human blood samples. Methods. Crude merozo
This thesis aims to describe, analyze and evaluate how the local government policies accommodate housing segregation in neighborhoods of Malmö, Sweden. This is done mainly through an analysis of material collected from documents and interviews, to a large extent concerning a recently built area within Malmö: Limhamns Sjöstad. Through a theoretical framework based on neoliberalism and the locally p
To understand how American cities “walk the talk” regarding climate change adaptation, the question “What effect do American city-wide adaptation efforts have on urban development trends?” is posed. The method covers the breadth and depth of the subject by studying the overall national climate discourse and utilizing three major American cities as case studies. Findings confirm adaptation efforts
Seminar date: June 4, 2025 Course: BUSN79 Authors: Ebba Rysjö Lindholm and Tilda Loudd Advisor/Examiner: Niklas Sandell/Liesel Klemcke Five key words: Account Theory, Legitimacy Theory, Crisis Communication, Allra, Financial Scandal Purpose: To examine how Allra, the Pensions Agency, Politicians, and Auditors used external communication to legitimize their actions throughout the Allra scanda
Purpose: This thesis aims to investigate how customers’ pre-existing brand loyalty influences their perceptions of four characteristics – Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU), Perceived Trustworthiness (PT), and Perceived Human-likeness (PH) – of AI chatbots used in customer service. In turn, we strive to examine how those perceptions affect overall customer satisfaction towards
Denna uppsats består av två delar. Den första delen behandlar vad som sker då en likabehandlingsplan på en offentlig myndighet, i detta fall Region Skåne, utökar rättigheter för persongrupper som inte är skyddade enligt lag. Den gör en utblick över internationell rätt och EU-rätt för att söka ytterligare ledning till hur rätten ser ut i ett vidare perspektiv. Då det inte är självklart vad som gäThis essay is divided into two parts. The issue discussed in the first part is what happens when a public authority, in this case Region Skåne, expands their equal treatment plan to cover grounds of discrimination not included in the Swedish Discrimination Act. It also provides an overview of international and EU laws regarding discrimination. The theories of jurist Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld are use
Public procurement is widely used in order to incorporate competition into public services. Competition in procurement often leads to efficiency but the process can also raise some problems. While providing the procurement documents you do not know who will be your upcoming partner. Another aspect is how flexibility can be managed in contract design while maintaining a high service quality. The ai
Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is generally considered a disease of the macula. However, recent studies show peripheral retinal lesions are prevalent in patients with AMD, indicative of a disease process that is more widespread. Full-field electroretinography (ffERG) measures an electrical response, not only from the macula, but from the entire retina. We wanted to study the ffERG
The purpose of this assignment was to illustrate how some young boys, who attend upper secondary school on the specific ice hockey and dancing branches, look upon manliness, how they consider themselves and the environment in which they are active. Key questions were how they consider themselves, how they consider their immediate environment, what the sport gives them, and how they view upon their
Abstract The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the underlying factors of a youth’s attraction to criminal youth gangs. We have chosen a qualitative approach. The primary sources for our study were interviews with seven people. These interviews were semi structured in their approach. We have used the labeling theory in order to describe and analyze the phenomenon. The result clearly
