More than 70% of the population in Ethiopia lack access to electricity and thus rely on traditional sources of energy such as biomass that is associated with negative consequences on health and the environment. Decentralized community-based micro-hydropower plants (MHPs) are being utilized as effective means to transition to modern low-carbon energy systems providing access to electricity to commu

Haldex Traction can with their Active Yaw Control prevent unwanted handling by applying an extra yaw torque with their all wheel drive system. To be able to calculate when or when not, yaw torque should be applied, it is important to accurate know the different state information about the vehicle. When driving on banked roads, vehicle dynamics and sensor measurements are changed compared to drivin

Background: The benefit of surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) lung metastases is unclear. The aim was to investigate the incidence, treatment strategy, and 5-year overall survival (OS) in CRC patients with isolated lung metastases. Methods: This registry-based retrospective cohort study included patients treated with curative resection of CRC within the county of Skåne during the perio

Introduction. Electrodialytic processes have become relevant technology in promoting sustainability within the food industry. Bipolar membrane electrodialysis (EDBM) offers an efficient and eco-friendly alternative for skim milk (SM) acidification, eliminating the need for added acids that affect milk properties and mineral composition [1-2]. In this study, the fouling behavior of bipolar membrane

Breviates are anaerobic protists and among the closest unicellular relatives of animals and fungi, yet their ecology and metabolism remain poorly understood. In this thesis, I investigated the distribution, metabolic potential, and bacterial interactions of breviates in low-oxygen environments. Breviates rely on bacteria both as a food source and potentially as metabolic partners. Breviates are pr

Background: Knowledge is sparse on the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on surgical outcomes after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated the association between T2D and risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery, and evaluated the biological interaction between T2D and co-morbidities. Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, a cohort of all Danish wom

In order to ensure punctual and robust service, it is vital to have a good understanding of the current performance of a railway network. Several approaches to doing so exist but lack the ability to compare both service and station performance in a single dimension. The study presented here proposes the use of the Rasch analysis technique within an operational context to compare the relative dwell

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) used in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are dose-reduced in elderly and patients with impaired renal function. Only reduced dose dabigatran is concluded as having similar stroke risk reduction and lower risk of major bleeding than warfarin in the pivotal studies. In clinical practice, reduced dose is prescribed more often than expected making this an impor

To understand, predict and mitigate climate change, it is crucial to have long-term and standardised measurements of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and their fluxes between atmosphere, land and oceans. The Integrated Carbon Observation System, is a distributed European Research Infrastructure which provides high-precision and highly standardised observations from more than 170 sta

Background: Obtaining functional sperm cells is the first step to treat infertility. With the ever-increasing trend in male infertility, clinicians require access to effective solutions that are able to single out the most viable spermatozoa, which would max out the chance for a successful pregnancy. The new generation techniques for sperm selection involve microfluidics, which offers laminar flow

A sense can be given, in qualitative rather than quantitative terms, to the three-part distinction, within the semiotics of culture, of Culture, Non-culture, and Extra-culture, by having recourse to the analysis of pronouns into two binary correlations, personality and subjectivity, originally proposed by Benveniste. The present communication will address two related themes: the possible relations

In this paper, we discuss research problems for enabling content distribution and supporting real-time interpersonal communication services (e.g. voice and video) over best effort networks with sufficient quality. We take a practical view of content distribution and quality, and this is the reason for the term “sufficient”. We argue that the understanding of quality as perceived by the user is a k

Critical infrastructures provide essential services for the functioning of the society, and vulnerability analysis is an important basis for decisions concerning increasing their robustness against strains. Since critical infrastructures can be regarded as complex systems, such analyses can prove challenging. To analyze the system response to strains, several different functional models have been

This paper discusses the relation between logistics and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) of companies within the same industry and same industry level (i.e. horizontal M&A). The purpose is to study the effects of M&A on the logistics resources of companies and the possibility for companies to benefit from the re-organising of these resources in the form of synergies. The study hopes to a

Individer lämnar och har alltid lämnat arbetslivet på grund av att åldern ”tar ut sin rätt”. Dock är det sannolikt inte ålderssvaghet som är den avgörande faktornför det stora flertalet som går i ålderspension idag. Troligtvis är det istället mångaolika faktorer som har betydelse för när en individ lämnar yrkeslivet för en nylivsfas som ålderspensionär, även om det biologiska åldrandets klocka tic

Embryonic full-thickness rabbit neuroretinal sheets were transplanted to the subretinal space of adult hosts. This was accomplished by using a new transplantation technique involving vitrectomy and retinotomy. The grafts were followed from 10 to 306 days after surgery, and were then examined by different histological techniques. In the light microscope, the transplants were seen to develop the nor

Denna studie berör gästnöjdhet och återkoppling vilka är viktiga aspekter när man arbetar med kunder. Speciellt inom hotellindustrin är detta viktigt då bra service handlar om att känna sin gäst. Hotellen vill veta alla bekymmer eller funderingar som gästen har medan de är kvar på hotellet för att kunna kompensera innan de lämnar. För att möjliggöra detta behöver hotellen ha bättre kommunikation mThis study concerns guest satisfaction and feedback which are important aspects when working with customers. In the hotel industry this is especially important since good service is about knowing your guest. The hotels want to be aware of any concern while the guest is still at the hotel to be able to compensate before they leave. In order to do so, the hotels need a better communication with thei

The increase of brownification in surface waters has been a problem for rivers and lakes from the northern hemisphere. The main factors of this water brownification are the increase of dissolved organic matter and iron in water bodies. This study aims to assess the contribution of groundwater flow and surface flow from Bolmsö Island to the water balance of Lake Bolmen, Sweden. This assessment help
