In generally accepted and applied flamelet combustion models, a turbulent flame is mainly assumed distorted by the large-scale turbulence eddies, whereas small-scale turbulence effects on the local flamelet structures are neglected. However, in a lot of industrial applications rather high turbulent intensities are often imposed, which induce turbulence scales at ranges smaller than the flame thick
This thesis is based on a study of Roman glass vessels found on non-Roman/native sites - chiefly of Roman Iron Age date (AD 0-400) - beyond Hadrian’s Wall in northern Britain. Roman glass vessels have been discovered on 60 sites in total, the majority of which are settlements of various types, and only a minor part are graves. As a consequence of this, the greater part of the material is strongly
The aim of this thesis was to describe the metabolism and to develope methods for biological monitoring for two organic acid anhydrides (OAAs), namely hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexa-hydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA). The OAAs are reactive, low molecular weight chemicals used in vast quantities in the industry. Many OAAs, including HHPA and MHHPA, are potent IgE sensitisers inducin
This thesis investigates the opportunity of wireless multi-gigabit per second communication at the millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies around 60 GHz by using impulse radio and nanoelectronics. Today most wireless communication take place in the microwave region, where several different systems and applications are crowding the narrow-band channels. Complicated schemes are applied in order to avoid i
The constant need to develop environmental friendly processes using renewable raw materials and to reduce harmful waste production motivates the present investigation focusing on biocatalyst development for enzymatic synthesis, a biotechnological approach in the field of green chemistry. At first, structural functional experiments were made for a β-glucosidase from T. neapolitana (TnBgl3B). As a
In this work, hydroxyl- and amino-substituted bridged bicyclic compounds based on bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane were synthesized and investigated for use in asymmetric catalysis. An improved process for the preparation of an optically active key intermediate for the synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-derivatives, using genetically engineered yeast, was devel
Very few people around us know the meaning of the word cavitation, except from those who saw the movie "The Hunt for Red October" and can relate cavitation to Sean Connery in a submarine. Some of them know that it corresponds to the formation of bubbles, due to a pressure drop, and causes erosion and noise. However, cavitation is much more complex. A large amount of research work has been done ove
The aim of this study was to investigate how women reason about, and experience what it is like to live in Sweden in the months following the autumn of #metoo the year 2017. In utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) the accounts of three women can make an academic footprint in our society. Could a mostly digital aspect of a social movement influence how people think about themsel
The implementation step of environmental policies has often been disregarded by researchers, who mainly focused on the policy-making process. Yet, implementation is crucial for the success of a policy. We looked at the influence of domestic factors in the implementation process to explain how countries members of the European Union that have similar administrative capacities yet obtain different i
Among foreign-born women there is a significant employment gap compared to native women as well as foreign-born men. At the same time public institutions have been deemed as unable to deliver labor market integration efforts that are adapted to the needs of foreign-born women, which has been pointed out as a necessity. In this context, civil society-municipal partnerships have been recognized as a
Research question: How do employees at call centres perceive algorithmic management? Purpose: This study aims to provide insights into how employees in a call centre perceive algorithmic management. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative research method, incorporating interviews with a relativist and social constructionist perspective, to fulfill its purpose and address the research questio
The aim of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits, motivational types, perceived academic performance and well-being. The data collection was carried out via a digital survey which was answered by university students in Sweden (N=67). The students estimated personality traits, type of motivation, perceived academic performance and well-being through
Social engineering fraud has become a growing concern in European payment systems because, unlike other fraud types, it directly targets human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities, convincing victims to authorize payments themselves. Previous research on fraud detection using machine learning methods has primarily focused on credit card payments. In cases where behavioral features have
Feminist research has highlighted a significant disconnect between victim-survivors’ lived experiences of sexual violence and the narratives recognised within legal frameworks. Such research demonstrates how law can function as a barrier to women’s knowledge and access to justice, determining what can be legally recognised. The #MeToo movement showed, in particular, how defamation law can constrai
Preterm infants undergo intensive care during a vulnerable period with hemodynamic instability and a rapidly developing and immature CNS. Adequate pain management is essential, since pain experience might lead to acute physiological reactions as well as neurological and neuropsychological sequels. There is no “golden standard” for objective pain assessment, and no evidence-based recommendations fo
Parkinson's disease is characterized by a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to a loss of dopamine in the target structure striatum and development of motor symptoms, such as bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. New experimental treatment strategies for Parkinson's disease are aimed at either preventing the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons, or a
