Also, it contains the thirty photos that have been shown in Yemen Art Exhibiti

On the Design of Electric Traction Machines : Design and Analysis of an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for Heavy Commercial Vehicles

Recent years have proven the benefits of electrifying the road bound vehicle fleet. With new components entering, the general understanding as well as the components as such needs to be improved. Focus in the thesis is on the design of an electric machine based on specifications of requirements for a commercial heavy vehicle such as a truck or a bus. One strict requirement is that the machine has Recent years have proven the benefits of electrifying the road bound vehicle fleet.

Reflections on research collaborations: A call for Nordic research on music education, sustainability, and democracy

Following the EU declaration from 2016 on schools as the most crucial places for societal change needed in order to strengthen democracy, this chapter discusses Nordic music education and music education research within the context of shared challenges in times of rapid demographic changes. Resting on emerging results from the authors’ research projects, the first theme to be discussed is music ed

Dendrimers antiamyloidogenic potential in neurodegenerative diseases

Dendrimers have been shown to be capable of interfering in vitro with the formation of the amyloid fibrillar structures typically related to the onset and development of the so-called conformational diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and prion diseases. This makes dendrimers potentially useful as compounds that could prevent or inhibit the action of the cytotoxic amyloid species. In the present

The impact of interest-only loans on affordability

We study the 2000s Danish legalization of interest-only (IO) loans, a mortgage market innovation aimed at increasing affordability and homeownership rates for cash-strapped buyers by substantially reducing first-year payments. Our results show that IO mortgages rapidly became popular in regions with higher house prices pre-treatment as well as with both the targeted cash-strapped borrowers and mor

The effects of fixed-strategy agents on local convention emergence in multi-agent systems

Achieving coordination in multi-agent systems has previously been found to be possible by utilizing local conventions as opposed to relying on the emergence of global conventions. On another note, fixed-strategy agents have been researched to manipulate the behaviour of networks with global conventions, but not local conventions. This paper studies how fixed-strategy agents impact local convention

Strikes and local politics

Conflicts in the labour market are detrimental to economic growth and welfare. Sweden was among the countries with the highest incidents of industrial disputes in the 1920s, but experienced declining levels from the 1930s onward. Using Swedish data from 1919 to 1938, this column shows that towns with both powerful unions and strong Social Democratic presence experienced labour market peace. The re

Without coal in the age of steam and dams in the age of electricity : An explanation for the failure of Portugal to industrialize before the Second World War

We provide a natural resource explanation for the divergence of the Portuguese economy relative to other European countries before the Second World War, based on a considerable body of contemporary sources. First, we demonstrate that a lack of domestic resources meant that Portugal experienced limited and unbalanced growth during the age of steam. Imports of coal were prohibitively expensive for i

Economic Evaluation of Management of Dementia Patients - A Systematic Literature Review

Objective: The objective is to systematically review the literature on economic evaluations of the interventions for the management of dementia and Alzheimer patients in home, hospital or institutional care. Methods: A systematic search of published economic evaluation studies in English was conducted using specified key words in relevant databased and websites. Data extracted included methods and

Double-crossed polarization transient grating for distinction and characterization of coherences

Coherent phenomena have been widely suggested to play a role in efficient photosynthetic light harvesting and charge separation processes. To substantiate these ideas, separation of intramolecular vibrational coherences from purely electronic or mixed vibronic coherences is essential. To this end, polarization-controlled two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy has been shown to provide an effectiv

Accurate risk estimation of β-amyloid positivity to identify prodromal Alzheimer's disease : Cross-validation study of practical algorithms

Introduction: The aim was to create readily available algorithms that estimate the individual risk of β-amyloid (Aβ) positivity. Methods: The algorithms were tested in BioFINDER (n = 391, subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment) and validated in Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (n = 661, subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment). The examined predictor

Modeling and Control of the Activated Sludge Process

During recent years there has been an increasing demand for better operation of wastewater treatment plants in order to guarantee satisfactory effluent quality at minimal cost. The renewed interest in instrumentation and control comes after a period of huge investments in sewer networks and treatment plants. Several factors have contributed to the potential for better operation and control, such a

Rösträttens århundrade : kampen, utvecklingen och framtiden för demokratin i Sverige

Mellan 1918 och 1922 infördes allmän och lika rösträtt i Sverige. När riksdagen inleder sitt hundraårsfirande av rösträtten i december 2018 utkommer denna populärvetenskapliga forskarantologi med texter av statsvetare, historiker, ekonomhistoriker, medieforskare, genusvetare och konstvetare. I tre delar, om bakgrunden, utvecklingen under 1900-talet och framtiden, berättar författarna om processern
