Human-Vehicle Interaction (HVI) evaluations encompass a wide range of aspects and typically follow a structured process from problem definition to conclusion. This research was motivated by two key challenges emerging from this process. First, there is a need to explain user behavior more comprehensively, going beyond mere system evaluation. Second, there is a consistent demand for a systematic hu
This study examines vehicle interiors in terms of display configuration and seat orientation from a user experience viewpoint using a driving simulator. Sixteen volunteers were sat in the driver’s seat to evaluate visibility and mental comfort scores of three display configurations used in the vehicle (i.e., floating, flush, and large display). Another sixteen volunteers were sat in the passenger’
The driver of a conditionally automated vehicle equivalent to level 3 of the SAE is obligated to accept a takeover request (TOR) issued by the vehicle. Considerable research has been conducted on the TOR, especially in terms of the effectiveness of multimodal methods. Therefore, in this study, the effectiveness of various multimodalities was compared and analyzed. Thirty-six volunteers were recrui
In several circumstances, a level-three automated vehicle cannot continue driving in an automated driving mode and requests a human driver to take over. In this study, a series of experiments to examine how to provide a TOR was conducted. First, for forty-one persons, a HUD icon, earcon, seat vibration, and combinations were compared. The results indicated that the HUD icon-earcon and HUD icon-sea
BACKGROUND: Despite the significant personal and societal burden of tic disorders (TDs), treatment outcomes remain modest, necessitating a deeper understanding of their etiology. Family history is the biggest known risk factor, and identifying risk genes could accelerate progress in the field.METHODS: Expanding upon previous sample size limitations, we added 4800 new TD cases and 971,560 controls
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been employed to examine the self-assembly behaviour of sodium 5-tetradecyl furan-2-sulfonate (STFS), an emerging anionic surfactant, in bulk dilute solutions. STFS was also studied in binary and ternary mixtures with a common non-ionic (hexaethylene glycol monododecyl ether, C12E6) and anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) surfactant to explore the shape,
In this work we report the solvothermal synthesis of iron oxide and zinc oxide using a ternary eutectic mixture of choline chloride, urea and glycerol at three molar ratio of the components 1 : 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5 : 0.5 and 1 : 0.5 : 1.5. The synthesised iron oxide is nanocrystalline with a crystallite size of 67.5 ± 8.9 nm, however ZnO formed larger particles. Water and surfactants can be added to the
This systematic literature review assesses the current state of knowledge on how increased ICT use affects individual time-use patterns and the associated implications for lifestyle climate implications. While the environmental impacts of ICT have been widely debated in terms of direct energy consumption, there has been limited focus on the indirect time-use effects. The review draws on 101 articl

The EU’s recent regulatory approach in the digital sphere promises to introduce greater consideration for fundamental rights. However, this does not apply to all fundamental rights and their holders equally. With particular focus on the freedom to conduct a business, this article will be exploring the restrictions imposed on certain undertakings—so-called gatekeepers—operating in the Digital Singl
This book attempts to reconstruct elementary physics in full compliance with reason, thus continuing the work of philosophers (experimental and mathematical) throughout the centuries. The unabridged Newton's mechanics is recovered, Gauss intuitions about relational electromagnetism are developed and completed and Schrödingers undulatory quantum theory is reproposed, unifying all three theories in
This thesis studies the pricing of overnight indexed swap (OIS) caps using a one-factor CIR++ short-rate model with piecewise constant volatility. The model combines a CIR process with a deterministic shift, allowing an exact fit to the initial zero-coupon term structure and thereby enabling the remaining CIR parameters to be calibrated to other market instruments. OIS caplets are priced using Lap
Studien ämnar undersöka hur konspirationsteorier konstrueras, omformas och upprätthålls genom interaktioner på onlineforumet Reddit med inriktning på diskursen kring Jeffrey Epstein. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur konspirationsteorier interaktionellt utvecklas genom plattformens användare. Studien utgår från ett interaktionistiskt och kunskapssociologiskt perspektiv där konspirationsteorier fö
Medan autonom AI och AI-agenter inte är en ny idé är dess konsekvenser på längre sikt okända utifrån påverkan på företag och människors arbete. Trots framtidens inbyggda osäkerhet ökar trycket på företagsledare att redan idag besluta om AI-investeringar samtidigt som ledande narrativ inom ämnet ofta har en utopisk eller dystopisk lutning. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur AI-agenter pre
Peptide therapeutics offer advantages in specificity and affinity, yet the potential propensity to self-associate and aggregate poses a challenge for the development of stable oral formulations. This master’s thesis evaluates the utility of the fluorescent dye Thioflavin T as a structural probe to monitor the aggregation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, specifically Liraglutide and Se
Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Betong är ett mycket vanligt förekommande byggmaterial som har flera styrkor, men också några svagheter. En av de väsentligaste svagheterna är de betydande koldioxidutsläpp som uppstår vid tillverkningen av det nödvändiga bindemedlet portlandcement. Att ersätta delar av portlandcementet med alternativa bindemedel är den mest effektiva och snabbaste insatsen för att minska betongens klimatpåverConcrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, offering several advantages but also presenting certain limitations. One of its most significant drawbacks is the substantial carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of Portland cement, the essential binder in concrete. Replacing portions of Portland cement with alternative binders is considered the most effective
