In today’s media landscape, popular cultural narratives play an increasingly important role in how places are understood and experienced. This study examines how these narratives are integrated and transformed within strategic place communication. By analyzing Visit Malmö’s communication surrounding the Netflix series Diary of a Ditched Girl, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of ho

To effectively treat motor fluctuations and dyskinesia in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), intestinal levodopa therapy can be carried out by continuous delivery of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG; Duodopa®). LCIG is delivered with a portable pump system over tubing, entering the stomach through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) and continuing to the proximal part of the

Activity determination from scintillation camera images using the conjugate view method may be inaccurate because of variation in scattered radiation from adjacent organs and activity from overlapping tissues. The aim of this study was to simulate patient scintillation camera images and from these evaluate the accuracy of 2 correction methods. The contribution from overlapping tissue activity was

Electrical wiring of different types of pyranose oxidase (P20) (fungal wild type, recombinant wild type with a hexahistidine tag, mutant form E542K with a hexa-histidine tag) from Trametes multicolor, and recombinant P20 from Coriolus sp. overexpressed in Escherichia coli as well as of pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH) from Agaricus meleagris and Agaricus xanthoderma with an osmium redox polymer (poly(

The formation of beryllium in the early Galaxy is discussed. It is shown that if spallation occurs predominantly in regions rich in heavy elements, i.e., close to supernovae, the linear relation recently obtained by Gilmore et al. (1992) between beryllium and oxygen abundances for Population II stars may be reproduced. Estimates of relevant timescales for mixing show that the decisive factor, the

Lifetimes of states in the triaxial strongly deformed bands of Lu-163 have been measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The bands have been interpreted as wobbling-phonon excitations from the characteristic electromagnetic properties of the transitions connecting the bands. Quadrupole moments are extracted for the zero-phonon yrast band and, for the f

This study applies Closed-Loop Combustion Control (CLCC) using Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) and cylinder balancing using variable lambda to solve the problem. Step changes of set points for combustion phasing, Compression Ratio (CR), and load together with ramps of engine speed and inlet air temperature are investigated. Performances of the controllers are investigated by running the engine at

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen är ett bidrag till utvecklingen av en metodik som gör det möjligt att med hjälp av fossila pollen d.v.s. pollen som lagrats i mossar och sjöar, rekonstruera historiska och förhistoriska landskap så precist som möjligt vad gäller utbredning av skog, olika typer av öppen mark samt vegetationens sammansättning. Den tolknings metodik som för närvarande Fossil pollen records retrieved from peat and lake sediments have great potential for quantifying past plant cover. This thesis is a contribution to the development of a palynological interpretation tool for reconstructing past cultural landscapes in terms of plant abundance and distribution. The aims of this thesis are (1) to explore pollen-vegetation relationships in the ancient, traditional cul

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modelleringsarbetet utvecklat i denna avhandling, kan delas in i två huvudområden: självantändning i ottomotorer, samt förbränning och emissioner i dieselmotorer. En första version av ett motorsimuleringsprogram med detaljerad kemisk kinetik, utökad för att innefatta full-cykel beräkningar, användes för att visa den starka påverkan som kväveoxider i restgaser har på sjThe modeling work developed in this thesis can be divided in two main areas of investigations: autoignition related to spark ignition engine and combustion and emissions formation in relation to diesel engines. A first version of a detailed kinetics engine simulation program, extended to handle full cycle calculations, was employed in order to demonstrate the strong effect that nitric oxide from

The trend within fluid industry is towards continuous production, leading to an increasing demand for new and improved methods that allow real-time monitoring of quality parameters and fast process control. The consistency and viscosity can be described by fluid rheology and are frequently used as quality control parameters. Rheological properties can be correlated with product microstructure, the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avsikten med detta arbetet har varit att utveckla kärnmagnetisk resonans, NMR, tekniken, applicerat på gel-emulsioner. Gel-emulsioner är viktiga i många tekniska formuleringar så som i livsmedel, i kosmetika, i läkemedelsformuleringar och i sprängmedel för att nämna några applikationer. Vi har arbetat med en teknik som kallas NMR diffusometri, som utvecklats av StejskalThe aim of these studies has been to investigate what information that can be obtained on gel-emulsions with nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, as the investigating tool. The gel-emulsions are important in many technical applications such as in food products, in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, and in emulsion explosives, just to name a few applications. We have worked with the NMR diffusom

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous food crop, grown mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has valuable nutrients, however consumption of the seeds is reported to cause lathyrism, due to the presence of a non-protein amino acid (?-ODAP). The present study deals with the development of a process for reducing the ?-ODAP content in grass pea seeds. The consequences of processin

This paper investigates the relationship between the capital share in national income and personal income inequality over the long run. Using a new historical cross-country database on capital shares in 19 countries and data from the World Wealth and Income Database, we find strong long-run links between the aggregate role of capital in the economy and the size distribution of income. Over time, t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att ha tillgång till en världsbeskrivning under exekveringen av sensorstyrda robotsystem kan potentialen hos ett industriellt robotsystem avsevärt förbättras. Intellegent beslut kan baseras på den nominella informationen tillgänglig under planeringsstadiet och den nya informationen som erhålles från sensorer under körningen. Världsbeskrivningen kan då uppdateras kontinuTraditional off-line programming is not enough in order to use the full potential of virtual models and simulation system in industrial robot applications. The interface between off-line programming system and the robot controller is today restricted to program transfer. In this way a large amount of information is lost since typical robot programming languages is rather limited. If the virtual m

The present study is concerned with the impact of psychological factors, particularly character traits and attitudes, on the traffic accident patterns of young drivers. 101 drivers completed a questionnaire consisting of 206 questions and statements. Factor analysis was used to identify and eliminate non-significant test items, leaving 70 statements defining 14 distinct traits. Age and sex were sh

The described technical-economic model clarifies the influence of different production technological factors on the processing cost of a part. Influential factors can be weighted against each other, which leads to different production development scenarios and their effects on the processing cost can be studied. This implies a way to generate a basis of decision by which a company can base their p
