ISO 9920 defines three insulation calculation methods: global, parallel and serial. It considers global method a general one that works in any situation, and parallel and serial could be used in specific cases. EN ISO 15831 is the basic manikin testing standard. It gives only two possibilities: parallel and serial. The specific requirements for equations’ use are not set as in ISO 9920, e.g. unifo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Aktivitet och förmågan att kunna utföra olika dagliga sysslor är central för människan och har stor betydelse för upplevelse av hälsa. I samband med sjukdom eller skada kan förmågan till aktivitet förändras, och komplexiteten i de dagliga sysslorna blir tydlig. Systemisk skleros (sklerodermi) är en ovanlig bindvävsjukdom, som karakteriseras av förändring av immunförsvarSystemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is a connective tissue disease which, in various ways, influences an individual’s ability to participate in everyday occupations. The general objective of this work was to elucidate the consequences of scleroderma with respect to hand function, everyday occupations and wellbeing, in order to provide a knowledge base suitable for occupational therapy interventions.

The short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) formed from colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates have been suggested to exert different physiological effects. In this thesis the fermentability and SCFA produced from various indigestible carbohydrates in the hind-gut were investigated using balance experiments in rats. In the case of propionate, experiments were also performed to evaluate possibl

The automotive industry is using more and more of Advanced High Strength Steel in order to reduce the weight of the car. Since this will generate more springback, it is of vital importance to be able to predict the amount of springback in the parts. Otherwise, many late changes have to be made in order to fit the parts in their position. In order to increase the ability to understand and test the

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår omgivning finns det många bakterier, virus och parasiter som kan skada och göra människor sjuka. För att skydda oss mot angrepp av dessa sjukdomsalstrande organismer och andra skadliga ämnen har flera nivåer av skyddsmekanismer utvecklats. Huden, slemhinnorna och det låga pH-värdet i magsäcken är några av de yttre barriärer som hindrar många skadliga organismer atThe aim of this thesis was to characterise the biological functions of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH). Superantigens are highly immunostimulatory proteins, which crosslink T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs). SEH is included in a family of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) produced by certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The three-dimensional fold of SEH was dete

This paper introduces a new method for combining high resolution parameter estimates with ray-launching based wave propagation prediction. The idea behind the proposed measurement-based ray tracing tool is to use measured data as the input for a ray-launching algorithm. With the developed tool, it is possible to identify dominant propagation phenomena and relate them with the objects in the physic

Tillitsfulla relationer mellan vårdpersonal, administratörer och politiker har en avgörande betydelse för vårdens omställning och det förnyelsearbete som bedrivs. Dessa relationer behöver systematiseras, stödjas för att fyllas med utvecklingskraft. Organisationer som medvetet satsar på att bygga dessa relationer för att bedriva verksamhet skapar innovationer i små steg”. Dessa tankar blev vägledan

In this essay, I discuss two major theoretical discourses of modernity, namely, of classical modernity and postmodernity. Moreover, I aim at a proposition of a possible historical relation between those two discourses of crucial importance to modernity’s intellectual history. This historical connection is founded on what I call the principle of insufficient reason. The principle of insufficient
