Dödröna för urbanhistorikern Mike Davis.

Europa går över till en cirkulär ekonomi och har höga återvinningsmål. År 2030 ska alla förpackningar på marknaden vara återvinningsbara. Detta är en utmaning, särskilt för plastförpackningar för livsmedel, som vanligtvis består av olika plastmaterial. Kravet från återvinningsindustrin i Europa är att använda monomaterialförpackningar eftersom det är lättare att återvinna. Detta kan bli problematiEurope is transitioning to a circular economy and have high recycling goals. By 2030 all packaging on the market should be recyclable. This is a challenge, especially for plastic packaging for food, which usually constitutes of different plastic materials. The demand from the recycling industry in Europe is to use mono material packaging as it is easier to recycle. This can become problematic for

Kinesthetic teaching allows human operators to reprogram part of a robot’s trajectory by manually guiding the robot. To allow kinesthetic teaching, and also to avoid any harm to both the robot and its environment, Cartesian impedance control is here used for trajectory following. In this paper, we present an online method to modify the compliant behavior of a robot toward its environment, so that

This thesis addresses how graphene can be a valuable asset for surface science studies. Using a combination of X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and low-energy electron diffraction, we take advantage of graphene’s sensitivity to changes in its chemical environment to obtain an atomic scale understanding of different reactions occurring above and below the film.As a

The emergence of the Faster-Than-Nyquist signaling (FTN) technology has im- proved the tight spectrum resources by compressing the transmission interval between adjacent pulses. In a natural environment, data transmission via a wire- less medium and through multi-path, at a high data rate, the leakage of these paths among symbols can cause severe inter-symbol interference (ISI). In order to compen

Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and

In this article, I use a broad brush to provide a big picture of a corporate brand, how corporate branding works, and what it takes to manage a corporate brand. In the movie The Matrix, Mr. Anderson is invited to come behind the scenes to see and experience a world beyond the projected image. My article’s title welcomes you to discover and experience a corporate brand’s reality with its opportunit

Under de senaste åren så har samhället blivit alltmer medvetet om asexuella och deras sexuella läggning men fortfarande så får asexuella gemenskapen kämpa med att få acceptans och erkännande av samhället och HBTQ grupper. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur det är att leva som asexuell i ett sexuellt samhälle. Fokus ligger på individers erfarenheter och tankar kring att leva i det sexuella s

Background Joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a significant problem. Identification of biomarkers associated with joint destruction can improve our understanding of underlying disease processes and future management.Objectives To evaluate inflammatory proteins as potential predictors of radiographic progression of joint damage.Methods Consecutive early RA patients (symptom duration

Prior research has shown that companies in various industrial contexts need to achieve both exploitation of current knowledge and technologies to make profits today, and exploration of new knowledge and technologies to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s demands. The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations d

Affibody molecules are a class of affinity agents for molecular imaging based on a non-immunoglobulin protein scaffold. Previous studies have demonstrated high contrast for in vivo imaging of cancer-associated molecular abnormalities using Affibody molecules. Using the radionuclide (18)F for labeling and PET as the imaging modality, the sensitivity of molecular imaging using Affibody molecules can

Nominal classification is a robust feature in many Amazonian languages, and aspects of these systems offer significant challenges to our broader conception of the phenomenon. Yet a clear characterization of Amazonian classification systems must be firmly grounded in detailed descriptive analysis on one hand, and in a principled definition of classification as a typological category on the other –

Serious outcomes as stroke, arrythmia and death are relatively frequent in patients presenting with dizziness. Within 30 days almost one in five patients re-attended the ED due to dizziness and 2,8% needed ED evaluation due to a fall. Decision support tools to help identify serious conditions and predict preventable falls in ED patients with dizziness are needed.

The refusal to shake hands with a female reporter by a Muslim politician from the Miljöpartiet resulted in a controversy in Sweden. Together with a number of court cases, it revealed a disparity between the established judicial line and the views of the general public. The Swedish controversy received a response from Denmark, where the ruling coalition introduced new citizenship legislation with a

The goal of this thesis has been to investigate the possibility of multi-workload optimization in Database Management Systems and workload detection. A system was successfully constructed to allow for multi-workload testing and data aggregation. The performance gain when optimizing using this project did not seem to match the optimizing performance obtained during testing within the single-workloa
