With the advancement in autonomous driving technology, the shape of vehicle seats is expected to change. Against this backdrop, a study is required to verify whether or not the diversely-changing seat arrangements are appropriate from the emotional perspective of the driver. This study set the first-row passenger scat with an adjustable seatback, such as an upright position, a 15-degree rotation,

The water level-area-storage volume (Z-A-V) relationship serves as the cornerstone of reservoir operations, governing water allocation, flood mitigation, and power generation. Sedimentation-induced capacity alterations can progressively degrade Z-A-V accuracy, yet systematic curve updates remain inadequately implemented across developing nations. Traditional reconstruction approaches face inherent

To reduce traffic accidents caused by driver factors, realizing technology to monitor and preemptively respond to the state of a driver is necessary. In this study, drivers' electroencephalogram (EEG) data during driving were acquired, and the effect of carelessness warnings was analyzed. The frequency of carelessness per minute was low for the case of presence of warnings. The originality of this

Due to the rapid climate change, drivers are now more likely to drive in severe weather conditions than before. In bad weather, drivers have no option but to cope with a very unusual environment, increasing the likelihood that an accident will transpire. Therefore, it is important to find ways to operate vehicle systems more easily and safely during bad weather. In this study, we investigated 6 in

This study explores the exchange of cultural information that takes place in the meeting between immigrant and non-immigrant characters in a selection of Australian novels focusing on the theme of migration: Heartland (1989) by Angelika Fremd, A Change of Skies (1991) by Yasmine Gooneratne, Stella’s Place (1998) by Jim Sakkas, Hiam (1998) by Eva Sallis and Love and Vertigo (2000) by Hsu-Ming Teo.

This invention is directed to a method for the preparation of docetaxel having an amorphous, anhydrous crystalline, or hydrated crystalline structure. In accordance with the invention, highly pure amorphous, anhydrous crystalline, or hydrated crystalline docetaxel can be produced with a high yield by using a solvent precipitation method, colloid formation method, etc.

Provided is a method for preparing a taxane derivative, comprising: carrying out condensation of a phenylisoserine derivatives having a protective group introduced thereto or a mixture of isomers thereof, as a side chain, with a baccatin III derivative or 10-deacetyl-baccatin III derivative to obtain a mixture of isomers; separating the isomers via chromatography; and carrying out a reversion of t

This invention is directed to a method for efficiently separating and purifying 13-dehydroxybaccatin III and 10-deacetylpaclitaxel with a high purity of 90% or higher purity, preferably 99.5% or higher purity, from taxane-containing materials such as Taxus species, and the thusly obtained highly pure 13-dehydroxybaccatin III and 10-deacetylpaclitaxel can be used as semi-synthetic precursors of pac

I denna avhandling undersöktes exekutiva funktioner (EF) hos svenska barn och ungdomar. EF definierades som en uppsättning neurokognitiva processer som reglerar kognitiva, emotionella och beteendemässiga aktiviteter, viktiga för målinriktat handlande. EF bedömdes med hjälp av själv-, föräldra- och lärarskattningar av den första och andra upplagan av Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function This thesis examines executive functioning (EF) among Swedish youth. EF is defined as a set of neurocognitive processes regulating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral activities essential for goal-directed behavior. I assessed EF using the self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms from the original and second editions of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF and BRIEF2). A pri

The present invention relates to a method of removing an endotoxin from solution containing basic proteins. More specifically, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of adding the surfactant to solution containing the basic protein obtained from the recombinant microorganism and mixing the resultant, of loading the resultant solution on the cation exchange column, washing the cati

Through the analysis of the case of the Age of Empires IV community, this qualitative study investigates how the communal efforts of the audience can foster inclusivity, and the meaningful participation of women, in the context of contemporary video game play. Through the analysis of nine semi-structured qualitative interviews, this paper reconstructs the ‘Age of Empires IV tale’: as it evolved fr

Research suggests maturing adolescents’ development of Internalizing Problems like Anxiety and Depression, might be due to impaired Executive Functions. However, most knowledge on the topic is non-causal, within clinical context and predominantly focused on Executive Functions assessed with performance tasks and not everyday Executive Problems assessed using questionnaires. Therefore, we cond

This thesis is a theoretical study of thinking with water in relation to feminist theory of care, solidarity and ethics. The thesis is inspired by Astrida Neimanis’ concepts of hydrofeminism (2012) and bodies of water (2017) and has these as its starting point and main theory. The thesis asks: what can we learn from water in relation to relationality, difference, responses to the climate crisis, e

The purpose of this essay has been to examine how consent, victims and perpetrators are constructed in the Swedish daily press in connection with the introduction of the Consent Act in 2018 and five years later, in 2023. Through a critical discourse analysis, based on Fairclough's three-dimensional model, articles from Aftonbladet, Expressen and Dagens Nyheter have been analyzed. The results s

This thesis investigates how community-based food practices for people-on-themove at the EU’s border in Northern France act as practices of care in response to-the violence, neglect, and carelessness of the EU border regime. While existing-critical border and migration literature discuss the nexus of traditionalhumanitarianism and care at the border, less attention has been paid to the-countering

Introduction Distinguishing between homicide and suicide in cases of single stab injuries to the trunk can be challenging, particularly in the absence of clear contextual information. This study aims to address this issue by developing the MODSIT score (Manner of Death in Stab Injuries to the Trunk)—an evidence-based scoring system designed to standardise forensic manner of death assessments. Meth

The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

The new ACR/EULAR classification criteria for APS differ from the previous Sydney criteria by incorporating a broader range of clinical manifestations beyond venous/arterial thromboembolism and obstetric complications. These include microvascular disease, heart valve disease and thrombocytopenia. We applied both classification systems to a cohort of 139 individuals diagnosed with primary APS in So

This thesis examines how Ellen Nordmark’s Epos (2024) relates to the epic genre. Rather than categorizing the work within a single, fixed genre, I employ close reading to analyze how it comments on, questions, and reformulates conventions on the epic genre. Particular attention is given to how Epos both reveals and reconfigures the epic tradition, and how the text emphasizes oral and aural modes o

Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard method for evaluating cardiac function and structure and is thus an important tool for diagnostics in cardiovascular disease. Recently, deep learning (DL) methods have achieved notable developments in various aspects of CMR. The aim of this thesis was to further assess
