Ablating Boundaries, Sparking the Future of Materials : Engineering of Bimetallic Nanoparticles via Spark Ablation

Bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit unique physicochemical characteristics that often translateinto functional properties surpassing those of their monometallic counterparts. The abilityto precisely tailor these characteristics enables fine-tuning of their properties for targetedapplications. This doctoral thesis investigates the engineering of bimetallic nanoparticlesvia spark ablation, a continuous

Stress-Testing a Quasi-Market: Unintended Consequences of the Swedish School Voucher System

Quasi-markets in the provision of public services are increasingly common but also highly contested. We formulate a conceptual framework based on economic theory to describe how quasi-markets differ from traditional markets in five aspects: 1) revenues, costs, and profits; 2) the matching of supply and demand; 3) competition; 4) structural change; and 5) rent-seeking. Using the assumption of profi

Neuroendocrine tumours: Understanding the patient experience and improving follow-up

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the small intestine (siNET) are slow-growing malignancies often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite their indolent nature, patients frequently experience significant symptoms, including carcinoid syndrome (CS) with diarrhoea, which impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis investigates the determinants of HRQoL in siNET patients, its prog

Atrial fibrillation and heart rate at long-term electrocardiograms

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common condition among the elderly, and leads toincreased risks of stroke, heart failure, dementia, and death. Diagnosing AF requires electrocardiograms (ECGs), and long recordings may be necessary since AF often occurs intermittently in its early stages. During AF, the heart rate is irregular, and sometimes inappropriately fast. This thesis includes four papers that st

Kulturkontakter i Sydskandinavien under mesolitikum : Hantverkstraditioner, råmaterialval och mobilitet för 9000 år sedan, med utgångspunkt från Norje Sunnansund i Blekinge

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate different scales of mobility and social networks in Southern Scandinavia around 7000 BC. An essential basis for this work is the hypothesis that the conical core pressure blade technology, a specific method for producing lithic blades, reached Scandinavia from the east. The process has been discussed and verified in several earlier studies.The study is The purpose of this thesis is to investigate different scales of mobility and social networks in Southern Scandinavia around 7000 BC.

Cellular and molecular cartography of muscle-invasive bladder cancer: Who benefits from neoadjuvant chemotherapy?

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is characterised by significant molecular heterogeneity, with the tumour composition being further sculptured by local microenvironmental influences. This inherent complexity contributes to the divergent disease trajectories and the variable therapeutic susceptibility observed among patients. Consequently, there is an evident need for prognostic and predictive

Adult Hip Dysplasia - Prevalence and Consequence

Background: Adult hip dysplasia is one of the few potentially modifiable risk factors for hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, the prevalence of hip dysplasia and the strength of its association with OA are not fullyunderstood.Aims and methods:I. To determine the prevalence of hip dysplasia in a Swedish population and investigate whether the condition was mentioned in radiology reports. The center ed

Förändringar i tillförselpotential av långsiktigt hållbar skogsbiomassa

Bioenergi spelar idag en stor roll i det svenska energisystemet ur klimat- och energisäkerhetssynpunkt men vilken roll kan inhemsk bioenergi komma att spela framöver för att Sverige ska bli ett fossilfritt samhälle med nettonollutsläpp 2050? Syftet med denna rapport är att utifrån olika perspektiv beskriva hur tillförseln av inhemska skogsbaserade biobränslen kan komma att förändras under perioden

Integrated Model for Simulation and Regulation of Basin Water Resources Considering Water Quantity and Quality and Its Application

With the rapid process of urbanization, water conflicts between different water use industries and areas are increasing. Therefore, China has implemented the three-cordons system of water resources management since 2012, when how to make more reasonable regulation of water resources became an urgent problem in most areas of China. In this study, taking the Yuanhe River Basin as an example, an inte

Energioptimering och effektbalansering av växelvärmen i Trafikverkets hjälpkraftnät

I detta arbete har möjligheterna till att sänka maxeffekten på växelvärmen och dess energiförbrukning undersökts. En marknadsanalys gjordes av olika lösningar för att undersöka vilka befintliga lösningar som finns att tillgå. Sveriges växelvärmesystem jämfördes översiktligt med Danmarks och Norges för att undersöka eventuella skillnader och likheter som kan ligga till grund för förbättringsarbete.

Self-assembly properties of enzymatically treated oat oil

The enzymatic modification of natural oat oils enriched with polar lipids (PL), consisting mainly of equal mixture of phospholipids and galactolipids, offers a sustainable pathway to produce liquid crystalline phases (LCPs) with diverse structural arrangements, including micellar or bicontinuous cubic and hexagonal phases. These self-assembling lipid systems have potential applications in drug del

Chemical kinetics study of nitrogen-containing fuels in flames – experiments and modeling

Climate change is strongly linked to the quantity of carbon dioxide (CO2) released by burning fossil fuels, which contain carbon. To address the problem, ammonia (NH3) has recently gained significant attention as a potential alternative fuel due to its carbon-free nature, ease of storage, and good energy density. However, ammonia combustion in practical devices presents challenges, particularly it

Modelling reactive power support from a generic wind power plant

As the amount of wind power in electricity production increases it becomes more important that they are able to provide ancillary services to support power system stability. This thesis investigates how a generic wind power plant can provide reactive power for voltage support. To represent a generic wind power plant, the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s generic Renewable Energy System mo

Cult Film Atmospheres : Audiences, exhibitors, and live cinema spaces

Kultfilmsevenemang som Den Dåliga Filmfestivalen (Göteborg, 2019 och 2023-2025) och B-Filmsklubben (Malmö) erbjuder unika atmosfärer för publiken som besöker dem.
