Precursory Activity Before Larger Events in Greece Revealed by Aggregated Seismicity Data

We investigate the seismicity rate behaviour in and around Greece during 2009, seeking significant changes in rate preceding larger events. For individual larger events it is difficult to clearly distinguish precursory rate changes from other, possibly unrelated, variations in seismicity. However, when we aggregate seismicity data occurring within a radius of 10 km and in a 50-day window prior to

Protein Shift – How Membrane Technology Can Contribute

Proteins are not only important for our daily diet but also one of the most important food ingredients worldwide. Since the 1970ies membrane processes have established themselves as a key unit operation in protein processing, e.g., in the dairy industry. The recent trend of the protein shift moving consumption of animal-based to plant-based proteins provides new applications for membrane processes

Affirming Catholicism : The formative years of a liberal Anglo-Catholic organisation in the Church of England, circa 1985 to 2000

This thesis is a history of Affirming Catholicism, a liberal Anglo-Catholic organisation within the Church of England, chiefly covering the period circa 1985 to 2000. It examines the rise of Affirming Catholicism, the events that led to its formation, the individuals involved, and the reasons why it came into being. It assesses how Affirming Catholicism’s theological and ecclesiastical identity ev

Fabrication of nanoclay embedded adsorptive electrospun nanofiber membrane for removal of trace organic molecules

This study aims to fabricate nanoclay (NC) embedded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) adsorptive electrospun nanofibers (Ads-ESNs) as high performance membranes for organic micropollutants (OMPs) removal. Ads-ESN were tested using a comprehensive protocol included adsorption in batches (static) and during filtration (dynamic). The filtration performance of Ads-ESNs was tested using gravity driven membrane (

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for undergraduate medical education – development and exploration of social validity

Background: The development of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) as a framework for work-based training and assessment in undergraduate medical education has become popular. EPAs are defined as units of a professional activity requiring adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes, with a recognized output of professional labor, independently executable within a time frame, observable and me

Evaluation and Mapping of Sustainable Water and Wastewater Treatment with Membrane Processes in South Africa and Sweden

Membrane technology is crucial to achieving Sustainable Development Goal No. 6 of clean water and sanitation for all. Despite its numerous benefits, high capital and operating costs pose major challenges. Recent research has focused on sustainable materials as membranes and more effective cleaning regimes to reduce costs and improve membrane lifespan. While South Africa and Sweden have both begun

Influence of dietary fibers and particle size distribution on food rheology

This chapter deals with the rheology of dietary fiber (DF) suspensions and how their microstructural properties influence them. The DFs obtained from selected vegetables, namely, tomato, apple, carrot, potato, parsnip, and yacon are reported. The amount and composition of the soluble/insoluble fiber have been measured for each type of fiber. For the insoluble part, the microstructural properties s

Mapping of non-aqueous phase liquids using time domain reflectometry

Ett tvådimensionellt transportförsök utfördes i en behållare (45 cm x 54 cm x 20 cm) fylld med fin sand. En färgad icke vattenlöslig vätska (LNAPL) spreds över en rektangulär yta, 5 x 20 cm, på försöksytan. Spridningen gjordes i fyra omgångar på olika sätt; med konstant flöde, konstant nivå och varierande nivå. Fyrtiotvå tidsdo män reflektometri (TDR) prober användes för att följa LNAPL transporte

Moonlighting Behavior among Migrants : Determinants and Implications for Wellbeing in South Africa

Notwithstanding the wealth of research on migration and subjective wellbeing, the issue of moonlighting and its welfare implication among migrants has not been thoroughly explored in empirical literature. Using rich individual-level panel data from the University of Cape Town’s National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), this study established a number of interesting findings: (a) there is moonlighting

Large Eddy Simulation of Ramjet to Scramjet Transition

The dual-mode ramjet engine is one of the most promising propulsion systems for hypersonic flight because it can be operated in a wide range of flight Mach numbers. This engine type will be quite complicated to use in practice since it requires Ma<2 and therefore needs to be complemented by a turbojet engine for take-off, landing and low speed maneuvering. The dual mode ramjet engine will operate

Seediq canonic imitation (Taiwan)

The chapter deals with Seediq vocal expressions that start with a short motif that is often repeated once and then followed by another motif, which is repeated once etc. This pattern is sometimes called ‘litany form’. The form that results when two persons sing in alternation is called canonic repetition. It is shown that such performances can be understood as being built on performance templates

Sports-Related Traumatic Brain Injury

The speed and intensity of modern sports puts the athlete at risk for impacts to the head, or to the body when the impact force is transmitted to the head. Rapid head rotation caused by these impact forces may lead to a sports-related concussion (SRC), defined as a mild traumatic brain injury, typically resulting in short-lived disturbance of the central nervous system function. The diagnosis of S

Frivillig frånvaro – om den luddiga övergången till distansundervisning under covid-19-pandemin

Looking back, it might seem as if all higher education in Sweden switched to remote teaching on March 18, following a government decision the day before. Instead, higher education had started to change from within already a couple of weeks earlier, as teachers and students reacted to the pandemic. To document and to try and understand what was going on, I sent out questionnaires to the students in

Corporate foreign exchange risk management

A practical and accessible guide that demystifies ForEx risk for managers in all areas of business Virtually any organisation active in the global economy is impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange (FX or ForEx) markets. Managers need to understand this increasingly complex issue and measure their firm's exposure to risk. Corporate Foreign Exchange Risk Management is an in-depth yet accessibl

“The Loved Home” and Other Exclusionary Care Discourses : A Multiscalar and Transnational Analysis of Heteroactivist Resistances to Gender and Sexual Rights in Sweden

Based on a conceptualization of heteroactivism as a transnational phenomenon manifesting in local contexts to spread and express resistance to gender and sexual rights, this article aims to illuminate new dimensions of heteroactivism beyond a sole focus on gender and sexuality by bringing its specificities in the Swedish context to the fore. Drawing on digital ethnography with members of the neo-c
