The AI Act marks a new chapter in AI governance, affecting companies around the world seeking to offer their services within the European Union. This study focuses on the comprehensive AI Act requirements set out for high-risk AI systems. We explored the perceived compliance challenge for the AI Act's high-risk requirements and associated contributing factors; the AI Act's impact on industry in te
Direct injection (DI) hydrogen internal combustion engines are gaining attention as a promising technology for a sustainable energy transition, particularly in the transport sector. A key factor in improving the performance of these engines is understanding how hydrogen jets behave within the combustion chamber, especially their interactions with the chamber walls. These jet-wall interactions are
Denna avhandling undersöker performativa protesters möjligheter att utmana epistemiskt våld och omforma antagonistiska relationer genom agonistiskt engagemang i den djupt asymmetriska och polariserade kontexten i Palestina och Israel. Studien baseras på etnografiska fältarbeten – inklusive 35 intervjuer och 57 deltagande observationer – genomförda på olika platser i städer såsom Jerusalem, Tel AviThis dissertation explores the potential of performative protest to challenge epistemic violence and reconfigure antagonistic relations through agonistic engagement in the deeply asymmetrical and polarised context of Palestine and Israel. Drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork—including 35 interviews and 57 participant observations—conducted across diverse locations such as Jerusalem, Tel A
To address the pressing challenge of decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation, this thesis explores advanced combustion strategies using sustainable gaseous fuels, specifically hydrogen and methane, in internal combustion engines (ICEs). While electrification remains difficult to implement in long-haul applications due to energy density and infrastructure limitations, this work identifies and refin
Abstract in ItalianDerrida individua un discorso basato sulla ragione e un altro sulla rivelazione. Kant rifiuta quest’ultimo, in quanto contiene un ‘tono’ che implica soggettività, speculazione e pretese di conoscenza ‘mistiche’. Si può anche sostenere che l’accettazione della conoscenza rivelata o intuitiva legittimi le teorie cospirative, con gravi conseguenze politiche. Tuttavia, un discorso uDerrida identifies a discourse based on reason and another on revelation. Kant rejects the latter, as it contains a tone that entails subjectivity, speculation and claims to knowledge by mystical means. It may also be argued that acceptance of revealed or intuitive knowledge legitimises conspiracy theories, with grave political consequences. Yet a pure and plain discourse is conceptually impossibl
Industry 4.0 concepts have recently significantly supported transparency and reliability in every industrial sector. Organizations must adapt their traditional paradigms and approaches to align with market demands. Hence, developing a framework that can change these conventional approaches with fresh ideas is essential. The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) readiness model presents a creative concept that holds
Animal vocalizations are extremely diverse, and evolutionary approaches to understanding this diversity assume some mapping between their acoustic form and communicative function, with specific features serving universal roles. Here, we investigate whether irregular vocal production with nonlinear phenomena contrib-utes to the alarming quality of vertebrate calls. We resynthesized 98 calls of bird
OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary valve implantation (PVI) is common in children with congenital heart disease particularly as they get older. While surgical PVI (SPVI) was the mainstay of treatment for years, percutaneous PVI (PPVI) has evolved into a popular treatment option. The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate of prosthetic pulmonary valve infectious endocarditis (PPVIE) between these two modes o
OBJECTIVE: Traditional rejection surveillance after heart transplantation (HTx) is based on endomyocardial biopsies (EMB), which are invasive, expensive and associated with complications. Monitoring using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is promising, but most studies report only on the donor fraction (DF) as the percentage of donor derived-cfDNA (dd-cfDNA) relative to total-cfDNA. We evaluated the performan
Introduction: Contrary to popular belief, there is limited research on sugar intake as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. While the links between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and cardiovascular disease risk are well-established, little is known about the associations for overall added or free sugar intake and other dietary sources of added sugar. Objective markers of habitual sugar intak
