In the combustion literature, contradictory results on the influence of turbulence on the local thickness of a premixed flame can be found and the present paper aims at contributing to reconcile this issue. First, different measures of local flame thickness in a turbulent flow, e.g. area-weighted and unweighted surface-averaged values of (i) |∇c|, i.e., the absolute value of 3D gradient of the com
Putative GABAergic elements in the retina of the Atlantic salmon have been identified by immunohistochemistry, utilising polyclonal antisera against γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the GABA transporter GAT-1. Cell types immunoreactive (ir) for GABA comprise horizontal cells, amacrine cells, displaced amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer, displaced amacrine cells in the inner plexiform layer (i
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way gradually increasing teachers’ theory-based instruction affects the students’ learning outcomes, illustrated by the example of learning how to regulate body tension in the upper secondary school. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 72 students from four classes participated in the study. The way the students were offered to understa
Precision nutrition is an emerging concept that aims to develop nutrition recommendations tailored to different people's circumstances and biological characteristics. Responses to dietary change and the resulting health outcomes from consuming different diets may vary significantly between people based on interactions between their genetic backgrounds, physiology, microbiome, underlying health sta
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, (3)
This essay concerns the problematic and highly contested topic of group specific rights for cultural minorities. I ask the question whether group specific rights for cultural minorities can be justified within the context of liberal democracy, and use the tools provided by normative analysis to analyse and provide an answer to this question. I start out with pinpointing the conflict that lies with
A retrospective review was performed of 11 patients referred to ultrasound examination because of abdominal pain and/or a palpable abdominal tumour, which eventually was proven to be gastrointestinal malignancy. Primary gastric carcinoma was present in 4 cases, carcinoma of the small bowel in one case, and of the large bowel in 6 cases. All the patients were examined with conventional ultrasound t
Let R denote a connected region inside a simple polygon, P. By building barriers (typically straight-line segments) in P∖R, we want to separate from R part(s) of P of maximum area. All edges of the boundary of P are assumed to be already constructed or natural barriers. In this paper we introduce two versions of this problem. In the budget fence version the region R is static, and there is an uppe
Smuggling in Sweden during the nineteenth century is poorly understood at the moment. The topic is notoriously hard to study, yet all research point to it playing a significant role all throughout the early modern period, bypassing highly regulatory trade legislation in order to provide consumer goods to customers. Recent studies have drawn attention both to its surpassive reach and the considerab
The study is compiled into a composite index for assessing the climate vulnerability of African nations. By employing a multidimensional approach, the index comprises nine distinctive hazards to examine a country’s sensitivity to climate change. These hazards are divided into three categories; acute physical hazards, chronic physical hazards and systemic hazards. This index structure is based on t
The purpose of this research was to investigate the mediating role of managerial cognition in the adoption and innovation of business models triggered by emerging digital technologies. Firstly, we explored how managers cognitively conceptualize emerging digital technologies (i.e., Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Big Data, and the Metaverse) as enriched
Conventional agrifood systems significantly contribute to environmental degradation. While Community Supported Agriculture initiatives (CSAs) may provide insights into alternative agrifood systems, few studies have investigated challenges to their engagement with prefigurative processes. Through a case study of nine CSAs in South-Holland, the Netherlands, this thesis explores the extent to which C
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide with an estimate of 2.3 million new cases in 2020, and the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in women. While survival rates are high in many high-income countries, with a five year relative survival rate of 85% and more, the respective survival rates are poor in many middle- and low-income countries, with rates as low as 12% in Kyad
Den här uppsatsen ansluter sig till ett framväxande fält inom den internationella rättsvetenskapen som undersöker hur folkrätten kan stödja katastrofriskreducering (disaster risk reduction). Fokus för uppsatsen är irreguljära migranter, dvs. migranter som inte efterlever värdlandets migrationslagstiftning, och den särskilda sårbarhet som de kan vara utsatta för i samband med katastrofer. De flesThis thesis joins an emerging body of international legal scholarship that explores the ways in which international law can support disaster risk reduction. The focus of this thesis is on irregular migrants, ie migrants who do not comply with the immigration laws of their host state, and the specific vulnerability that they might experience in the context of disasters. Most legal scholars have t
Den Europeiska Kommissionens (’Kommissionen’) jurisdiktion att granska koncentrationer enligt bestämmelserna i koncentrationsförordningen (’EUMR’) fastställs antingen av omsättningsbaserade trösklarna eller systemet för hänskjutande av ärenden. I båda dessa fall fastställs jurisdiktionen genom kvantitativa kriterier, med undantag för hänskjutandemekanismen som föreskrivs genom Artikel 22 EUMR. HiThe jurisdiction of the Commission to review concentrations under the provi-sions of the EUMR is established either by the turnover thresholds or the case referral system. In both of these cases, jurisdiction is established through quantitative criteria, with the exception of the case referral mechanism provid-ed for in Article 22 EUMR. Historically, Article 22 EUMR was designed to enable Member
Individualised healthcare is the future of medicine, due to the so called inter-patient variability. The inter-patient variability involves differences in the drug response between different patients. The effect of a drug can usually be divided into pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). One way to individualise anaesthesia, may be to automate it using closed-loop control systems. This t
Purpose/Background Patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) today are treated with an immobilisation mask which fully covers their face and therefore might be experienced as uncomfortable and claustrophobic. In recent years, optical surface scanning (OSS) systems have been implemented for patient positioning and real-time motion monitoring [1]. OSS systems cannot track the patients surfa
Den svenska aktiebolagsrätten ger upphov till ett antal intressekonflikter mellan olika parter. En av dessa intressekonflikter är mellan aktieägarna och företagsledningen, där företagsledningen kan ha incitament att driva företaget på ett sätt som strider mot aktieägarnas bästa intresse. Kompe-tensfördelningen i aktiebolag är uppställt på så sätt att ägandet och kontrol-len för aktiebolaget kan i Swedish company law gives rise to several conflicts of interests between different parties. One of the conflicts of interest is between shareholders and the company management, where the latter may have incentives to run the company in a way that does not align with the best interests of the shareholders. The distribution of decision-making powers in the company is also set up in such way that own
