The time dependent Maxwell system is supplemented with the constitutive relations of linear bianisotropc media and is treated as a neutral integro-differential equation in a Hilbert space. By using the theory of abstract Volterra equations and strongly continuous semigroups we obtain general well-posedness results for the corresponding mathematical problem.
The COVID-19 accelerated shift towards hybrid workspaces places major pressure onworkplace communities and culture. This study explores the emergence of a collaborative academic workspace, which is still in the real estate development phase. The aim is to establish preconditions for community building, and the relationship between the community and the physical space. The study employs a qualitati
The use of biofilms to improve the removal of organic micropollutants in waste¬water treatment plants (WWTPs) has been investigated. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, the use of biofilms for the biological degradation of micro¬pollutants was investigated. In the second part, micropollutant removal was investigated with biofilm processes in combination with ozonation or activat
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor involved, for example, in angiogenesis. Overexpression and excessive signaling of PDGFRβ has been observed in multiple malignant tumors and fibrotic diseases, making this receptor a pharmaceutical target for monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Successful targeted therapy requires identi
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of initiatives promoting individual behavior change, obesity rates remain high and continue to rise globally, indicating that what is commonly labelled as “obesity prevention” is not, in practice, preventing obesity. While health promotion strategies and policy interventions have demonstrated improvements in environments, health behaviors, and industry practices, their
Background: Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a key driver of aberrant angiogenesis in inflammatory conditions and cancer, making it an attractive therapeutic target. Nevertheless, its function can be affected by the complex immune responses and tumor microenvironment (TME). Hence, combinatorial treatment approaches that simultaneously target iNOS and immune-modulatory signaling are strong
This study reports the synthesis and characterization of heterogeneous acid catalysts derived from rice husk biochar, modified by sulfonation and Ce(NO3)3·6H2O (cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate) impregnation, for fatty acid esterification using methyl acetate as a glycerol-free reaction route. The research aims to valorize agricultural residues as renewable and sustainable precursors for solid aci
This paper examines income and employment outcomes for immigrants in Sweden’smost immigrant-dense neighbourhoods between 1998 and 2022. While relativeemployment among immigrants has improved, relative incomes in theseneighbourhoods have stagnated or declined. The most plausible explanation for thepersisting income gap and the shrinking employment gap between immigrant-dense and other neighbourhood
Förverkande att taga arv och testamente regleras i 15 kap. ärvdabalken (ÄB). Syftet med regleringen är att undvika att anstötande gärningar leder till arv. Uppsatsen syftar till att granska bestämmelsen och eventuella brister, för att sedan undersöka hur lagstiftningen kan förbättras. Idag är det reglerat så att den gärningsman som begår mord, dråp eller andra allvarliga våldshandlingar som bidrarThe forfeiture of inheritance and wills is regulated in the first section of chapter 15 of the Inheritance Code. The purpose of this legislation is to prevent offenders from benefiting from inheritance if they have committed serious offenses that result in another person’s death. This essay aims to analyze the act and its potential shortcomings, followed by an examination of how the legislation co
Robust optimization plays a vital role in proton therapy treatment planning. A monoenergetic beam of protons has a finite range and delivers most of its dose at some specific depth in the patient. This allows the design of treatments that mainly damage the tumor and not any surrounding tissue. However, this property also makes proton therapy sensitive to uncertainties in the patient model used for
Människan har behov av sömn och vila för att samla kraft. Under sömnen prioriteras kroppens återhämtningsarbete vilket är viktigt hos allvarligt sjuka patienter. På en intensivvårdsavdelning störs patienter upprepade gånger dygnet runt av ljud, ljus och omvårdnadsåtgärder. Syftet med studien var att identifiera och mäta frekvensen av potentiella störningsmoment på vårdrum, för barn som vårdas på i
The objective of this research thesis was to enrich customer value theories with a place-related concept, using a case study of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. In conjunction with this, 2 research questions were created, namely, (i) In what ways do park visitors ascribe meaning of place?, and (ii) how can meaning of place contribute to the customer value conceptualization? Theories for review were
The company, qpunkt GmbH, recently developed a concept for an “innovative” thermal manikin – the Klimadummy. Before a decision can be made whether to realize the production of their manikin, there is a need for a market research, describing the current situation of the thermal manikin market, including the competitors and customers. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze the
This project uses proton-proton collision data from the ALICE experiment at CERN to investigate the differences between three ways to classify events, known as event shape classifiers. The event shape classifiers that were investigated are RT , spherocity and flattenicity. The motivation behind this is the consistent use of these classifiers to select events when investigating the heavy-ion like
One of the most critical issues in wireless sensor networks is energy efficiency because of the limited energy network nodes can store in batteries. Therefore, these networks require robust wireless communication protocols that are designed to be energy-efficient. In this paper, we introduce a routing protocol based on an energy-temperature transformation principle, called RETT. Our objectives are
This thesis is about the relationship between the legal system and the ways firms organize their economic activities. When firms apply new business models and establishing new forms of relationships, as e.g. in logistics, the law must "keep up" and evolve with them. The law is supposed to provide legal instruments to be used in practical business rendering reactions to unsound business. Without le
