The modelling of premixed turbulent combustion has been studied. Premixed turbulent combustion occurs in a range of applications, such as gas turbines and spark-ignition engines. It is important that the modelling can capture the most relevant details of the combustion in order to minimize the emissions and secure the operability already in the design process of these devices. As the simulation of

The main motivation for this thesis, however not the only one, is the search for models for traffic in telecommunication networks. Traffic characterization and modeling are of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of communication systems. During the last decades we have experienced an explosive growth of our telecommunication networks. New important properties, both on macroscopic and

Background: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) are community health workers responsible for improving the health status of people by facilitating their access to healthcare services. The life skills of ASHA are known to be effective in negotiating behaviour change in the community; however, there has been a meagre focus towards improving them. Considering this gap, we adopted a comprehensiv

Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with a poor prognosis but is difficult to diagnose non-invasively. In a recent paper, ST-segment depression on exercise-ECG was found to have a very high positive predictive value (PPV) for CMD in a highly selected group of patients. Objectives In the present study of chest pain patients, we used myocardial perfusion single photon e

Background: Despite their vulnerability to the toxic effects of certain metals, biomonitoring data on adolescents are limited. In the present study, we assessed blood concentrations of toxic metals (cadmium [Cd], total mercury [Hg], and lead [Pb] in a national representative sample of Swedish adolescents. We also examined the associations of Cd, total Hg and Pb with habitual intakes of major energ

Benefits arising from the use of finance information systems that include among others capability to offer improved timely and reliable accounts reports have been mentioned by many different scholars. The issue of successfully implementing and using the systems is however still a challenging problem especially in developing countries. A lot of critical success factors for implementation have been

Background: Nonmedical prescription drug use (NMPDU) refers to the self-treatment of a medical condition using medication without a prescriber's authorization as well as use to achieve euphoric states. This article reports data from a cross-national investigation of NMPDU in five European Countries, with the aim to understand the prevalence and characteristics of those engaging in NMPDU across the

Background: Contemporary epidemiological studies examining incidence rates (IR) of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Swedish populations are scarce. Cirrhosis and HCC are associated with a significant burden of health inequity and stigma. The importance of socioeconomic status (SES) in cirrhosis survival has scarcely been studied in Sweden. The impact of SES on HCC incidence and prog

Background & Aims: The presence of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used to calculate an individual's risk for colorectal cancer (CRC), called a genetic risk score (GRS). We investigated whether GRS can identify individuals with clinically relevant neoplasms in a screening colonoscopy population. Methods: We derived a GRS based on 48 SNPs associated with CRC, identified i

Introduction: Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG; carbidopa/levodopa enteral suspension) has been widely used and studied for the treatment of motor fluctuations in levodopa-responsive patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) when other treatments have not given satisfactory results. Reduction in ‘off’-time is a common primary endpoint in studies of LCIG, and it is important to assess

Introduction: Preoperative chemotherapy in early breast cancer increases the rate of breast preservation and provides prognostic information. Treatment decisions in these cases rely on biomarker assessments and subtyping from tissue acquired through core needle biopsies. Tumor heterogeneity and representativity are pit-falls when limited tissue is available. Biomarker expression may change conside

The work presented in this thesis has aimed to improve the knowledge about the groundwater occurrence in different geological conditions in Mozambique. The main focus in this study has been on the understanding of hydrogeological conditions in area with little background information by use of geophysical investigation. The lack of background information is a problem in many countries because the e

This thesis examines the role of sunlight, specifically ultraviolet-B radiation (280-320 nm), on dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria in lakes. Field experiments in lakes with different humic contents and geographical locations have been performed. Photooxidation result in that part of DOM is oxidized to inorganic carbon (DIC), mainly CO2. The photooxidation rate can be of the same magnitu

Utvärdering av ett nytt system för 3D-cellodling Cellodling har traditionellt utförts främst på ett tvådimensionellt (2D) plan, exempelvis i petriskålar, där celler tvingas växa i platta lager. Medan cellodlingar är ett utmärkt alternativ till forskning med djurförsök, är en av dess svagheter förlusten av en naturtrogen tredimensionell (3D) miljö, eftersom kroppens celler normalt har en mer avanc

Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of gender neutral communication on brand image. Methodology – This study was conducted using the experimental design framework of pre- post random group. The respondents were assigned into two groups: control and intervention. In the control group the respondents were shown a gender stereotyped advertising and the intervention grou

Bildgivning av lungor har länge varit och är än ett viktigt forskningsområde eftersom lungkomplikationer är en stor anledning till sjuklighet och dödlighet över hela världen. Med den fortsatta forskningen och de förbättrade avbildningarna ökar kunskapen, vilken bidrar till förbättrad sjukvård. I dagsläget utförs en stor mängd lungavbildningar med synkrotronljuskällor. Dessa är ljusstarka röntgenkäIntroduction: Lung imaging with synchrotron light sources is currently a widely studied field. The image resolution and quality are remarkable and the level of detail possible to study the smallest structures, the alveoli, of the lungs cannot be obtained by any other non-invasive imaging modality with the current technology. The most common and useful type of lung imaging with brilliant light sour

Byggindustrin står inför nya utmaningar i form av skärpta krav när det gäller dess klimatpåverkan. En betydande faktor för byggindustrins klimatpåverkan är den cement som används i betong, eftersom det i samband med tillverkning av cement frigörs stora mängder koldioxid. Platta på mark är en vanlig typ av grundläggning i byggnader i mindre skala, såsom småhus. En typisk småhusplatta av betong ha
