Following an industrial boom from the mid-to-late 19th century, Glasgow’s East End underwent exceptional levels of industrial decline. By the 1960s, it suffered from wholesale abandonment and devaluation, visible through widespread swathes of vacant and derelict land and decrepit building structures. After several unsuccessful regeneration attempts over the decades, in 2007 Glasgow City Council (G
This article critically interrogates how participation is practiced during the design process. We present the findings of three different configurations of participatory design workshops, each involving a different stakeholder group (age researchers, care experts and older adults). Building on insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS), we reveal how, in design practice, different configur
Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a relatively common congenital heart defect. The underlying causes are not known, but a combination of genetic factors and abnormalities linked to embryonic development is suspected. There are only a few studies of the underlying molecular mechanisms in CoA. The aim of the current study was to expand our understanding of the pathogenesis of CoA by char
Post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition where one or more very traumatic events, that include life-threatening or extreme psychological stress, have left permanent traces of distress that induce sustained suffering. In this clinical overview, we present current updates in diagnostic criteria and a new diagnosis of complex PTSD, and discuss the pr
This article considers students’ and teachers’ perceptions of shared reading (SR) in promoting reading engagement. It provides a thematic analysis of focus groups with students and teachers at a Swedish upper-secondary school who participated in an intervention consisting of SR sessions. The findings are triangulated with a student pre-intervention questionnaire that included reading habits.The st
This paper mainly focuses on the effect of cell unbalancing on the overall performance of a battery pack, as well as the challenges associated with designing a protection system for the Battery Management System (BMS). With the increasing trend towards fully electric aircraft, cars, buses, bikes, etc., the battery pack has become the sole power source for these vehicles. Consequently, it's imperat
This chapter is concerned with 3L1 acquisition (early trilingualism; i.e., the development of three languages during early childhood). This is a methodologically challenging and understudied topic, most typically focussing on children with two home languages that are both different from the language of the wider community. The available research on lexicon, syntax, and phonology shows that triling
This chapter examines the phenomenon of men as victims within the context of human trafficking – a crime predominantly perpetrated by men, with women comprising the majority of identified victims. Focusing on a comparative study of Finland and Sweden, this chapter explores the processes and outcomes of men’s victimisation in human trafficking. Adopting a constructivist perspective, this study seek
Determining how and why adult outcomes of heritage speaker (HS) bilingualism differ from monolinguals is difficult because it requires the reconstruction of developmental paths from end-state data. In an effort to address this issue, we examine HSs of Turkish in Germany at an early age of development (10–15 years old, n = 22), as well as age-matched monolingual controls in Turkey (n = 20) and Germ
Lunds Tekniska högskola samarbetar med European Space Agency för att undersöka möjligheten att simulera hur bränslet i en rackettank rör sig. Resultaten av undersökningen visar att det finns möjligheter att bespara miljonbelopp på dyra rymdexperiment genom att testa samma experiment under simulerade rymdförhållanden här på jorden. Kunskapen av dessa simuleringar kan göra morgondagens raketer både This report is an investigation on how well fuel sloshing in a rotating cylindrical tank can be modeled numerically. The investigation is motivated by the need to understand the fuel sloshing in the new Ariane 6 rocket developed by the European Space Agency. Two cases are studied, the lled tank and the half lled tank at Reynolds numbers of 71000-212000. The softwares studied are FINE/Open with Ope
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda om armlängdsprincipen är förändrad samt vilken ställning OECD:s riktlinjer har vid tillämpningen av 14 kap. 19 § IL. Utredningen resulterade i uppfattningen att OECD:s version av armlängdsprincipen kan anses vara förändrad då riktlinjerna bland annat uppmuntrar omklassificering till en större grad. OECD:s vägledning fyller en funktion då 14 kap. 19 § IThe purpose of this essay has been to examine if the arm´s length principles has changed and which position the OECD guidelines has in the application of 14 kap. 19 § IL. The examination resulted in the opinion that OECDs version of the arm´s length principle can be considered changed as the guidelines now encourage reclassification to a higher degree. OECDs guidance fills a function as 14 kap. 19
Granular sands are characterized and modeled here by explicitly exploiting the discrete-continuum duality of granular matter. Grain-scale kinematics, obtained by shearing a sample under triaxial compression, are coupled with a recently proposed multiscale computational framework to model the behavior of the material without resorting to phenomenological evolution (hardening) laws. By doing this, c
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is today a well-known academic assistance program that provides help for students in "difficult" courses. SI has repeatedly been shown to decrease the percentage of failures in the course as well as increasing course grades for students who attended SI sessions. Although SI is open for all students, its main objective is to come to terms with students' high failure ra
