Very little radical or really new innovation within the food sector in Sweden is visible today, although the stores are jammed with food in a variety of packages, designs and sizes and under different brands. Most products appear to be based on technologies introduced years ago, and the diversification consists mainly of line extensions, i.e. incremental development. It looked different after the
The objective of this paper is to investigate how the combustion chamber design will influence combustion parameters and emissions in a natural gas SI engine. Ten different geometries were tried on a converted Volvo TD102 engine. For the different combustion chambers emissions and the pressure in the cylinder have been measured. The pressure in the cylinder was then used in a one-zone heat-releas
Phase separation studies have been carried out concerning the addition of different surfactants to systems containing either ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose (EHEC) or the hydrophobically modified analogue (HM-EHEC). The polymer concentration was kept constant at 1 g polymer/100 g of water (1 w/w%), while the surfactant concentration was varied. In the polymer/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) systems, whi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar vardagslivets resor i staden. Utgångspunkten är de negativa konsekvenser som resor, framför allt med bil, har för miljön. Bilismen är ett fenomen som dominerar stora delar av samhället och istället för att minska i omfattning tycks den själv driva fram ett ökat bilberoende genom att avstånden och kraven på snabba transporter ökar. I slutändan handUrban areas are geographically dispersed. There are built-in distances between housing, jobs and services. These distances call for mobility and fast means of conveyance. Society is dominated by and dependent on motoring. Cars have a negative impact on the environment and prognoses indicate an increase in the amount of travelling. The aim of this dissertation is to explain why travel behaviour wit
Telephone service in Argentina has since its beginning been characterized as one of the most developed in South America. Regarding its development, two distinct periods can be identified. An initial period of private ownership extended from 1878 to 1946. In 1946, when the largest telephone company was bought by the state, a period of predominant state-ownership began that lasted until 1990 when th
A group of Swedish radiation oncologists and hospital physicists have estimated the number of patients in Sweden suitable for proton beam therapy in a facility where one of the principal aims is to facilitate randomized and other studies in which the advantage of protons can be shown and the magnitude of the differences compared with optimally administered conventional radiation treatment, also in
Modern electronic medical implants have reached a high degree of complexity. This has increased the demands on the communication link with the implant, both regarding the bandwidth and the communication distance. A medical communication system at RF frequencies has been standardised, the Medical Implant Communication System (MICS), which use a frequency allocation of 402 - 405 MHz. This frequency
Background and Objectives: Hand eczema is a chronic disease with negative impact on quality of life (QoL). In this study, QoL in hand eczema patients is assessed and related to age, sex, severity, and diagnostic subgroups. Methods: A total of 416 patients with hand eczema from 10 European patch test clinics participated in the study. Data on QoL were obtained from a self-administered questionnaire
The genus Manota is recorded from Japan for the first time. Three new species, Manota satoyamanis, Manota indahae and Manota tunoae spp. nov., are described, based on specimens collected in an ecological sampling program of arthropods in the "satoyama" landscape of Ishikawa Prefecture. "Satoyama" represents the traditional rural landscape of Japan, which is characterized by a mosaic of secondary f
Introduction: The experiences of living with Parkinson's disease (PD) from the perspective of newly diagnosed persons with PD (PwPD) have not been previously described. Aim: This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the impact of living with the early stages of PD. Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted among nine persons, seven men and two women, from southern Sweden. Parti
This paper presents the data constituting the catalogue of animal bones from Iron Age settlements in Scania, as published in the book “Animal husbandry in Iron Age Scania, with a catalogue”, and part of the Sheep Ahoy project at Lund University. The dataset consists of osteological data from zooarchaeologically examined animal bone assemblages from Iron Age settlement sites in Scania. The data has
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve
Denna uppsats behandlar den rättighetsutvecklingen på den psykiatriska tvångsvårdens område från 1900-talets första hälft fram till idag. Det som undersöks är hur lagstiftningen på den psykiatriska tvångsvårdens område har förhållit sig till det svenska fri- och rättighetsskyddets framväxt. De psykiatriska tvångsvårdslagar som undersöks är 1929 års sinnessjuklag, LSPV och nu gällande LPT. Mot baThis paper discusses the development of the compulsary psychiatric care from the first half of the 20th century until today. What is being exmined is how the legislation on the field of the complusary psychiatric care has been related to the rise of human rights in Sweden. The legislations that have been exmined is the law regarding mentally ill from 1929, LSPV and the law currently in practice,
Wet lamella clutches are used in the automotive industry to enable all-wheel drive and thereby increase acceleration, handling and safety of cars. The clutches work by transmitting torque from an incoming- to an outgoing shaft through a series of lamella - steel-disc friction surfaces (lamella pack), lubricated by an oil. Based on temperature- and wheel-speed measurements, a mathematical model of
While urban areas are predicted to expand due to population growth, new approaches towards smart solutions in urban infrastructure and transportation are on the rise. With access to new technology, data has been given much attention from municipalities and decision makers. This thesis is interested in how the public sector will utilize the untapped potential of data collection, and what effects th
Global warming is a very much researched and debated topic in the current period as we can see the effects around us. The literature and discussions have pointed to a surface temperature rise of up to 10°C at the poles and around 4°C-7°C around the equator. The effect is more in the northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere of our planet Earth. The effects of the warming of our environment o
